I am not able to vote up or down on the question or answer here https://photography.codidact.com/questions/74926 I have a vote history of one vote on that site which is on a meta post. Also I a...
I noticed that some of the posts I wrote on SE Outdoors were imported, apparently to give the illusion of more activity here than there really is. It was a little disconcerting to see that, althou...
What do the 'delete' and 'close' options I see under a question do? I am a normal user with ~1700 rep. I see a delete button under questions and answers (if I wrote them or not). When I mouse over...
Looking at posts tagged [status-completed], or the tags list for the category, it becomes evident that the [status-completed] tag isn't showing up formatted as a moderator tag and the other status ...
TGO community ads for 2020 need to be posted on meta here https://outdoors.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1608/community-promotion-ads-2020 I don't have the time or the skills to create the ad....
This took a while, but I promised, I'd come back to this. And here I am. It should be fixed now (once the change has been deployed).
As of right now, nothing. It has been requested that they not show if a person can't use them, but I am not sure where that is on the list of priorities for development.
A massive advantage of paper maps over electronic is the combination of area and resolution. You can take a bearing to a mast on top of a hill several km away, when zooming out that far on a GPS sc...
The most important reasons have already been given in other highly upvoted answers. Planning, coverage, resolution, etc. I want to address the cost aspect. Given the low price and weight of e...
If I was considering nails for my survival kit, I think I would probably upgrade to a hand drill instead. Metal nails are use once and gone, a drill and a knife will make an unlimited supply of h...
There have already been quite some answers but I have the feeling that these answers are a bit one-sided towards paper maps and definitely do not reflect the reality outdoors. First, navigation on...
I can't believe the convoluted answers. The answer is simple. A Map and compass WILL always work. The electronic device will NOT always work. Good luck finding your way without basic map reading ...
Have you ever heard of the Uyuni salt flat? 10,000 km2 of almost perfectly flat surface, 3 km above sea level. 0 GPS signal. (Some of the time) This is because of the South Atlantic Anomaly, wh...
Swiss Alpine Club (SAC-CAS) has a colletion of guide books however only few are available in English. SAC also has Tour Portal available in English with almost 1800 tours categorized by type (hiki...
As a runner, it is very common to eat 'heavy' food the days before doing a marathon for example. Typically is pasta food but I'm sure rice will do too (it has been mentioned also above). The be...
I did several (short) winter hikes below zero degrees Celcius (freezing point) while having only a plastic cover and sleeping bag. I always took of my clothes, especially jacket (since it was slig...
TL;DR: Honest answer: depends on too many things, different situations will be different. Best answer: do what you feel like, whatever makes you feel comfortable. If you cannot sleep naked in your...
The default expedition map in the UK is Ordnance Survey. The apparent most popular GPS map app for walking in the mountains is the Ordnance Survey app*. That's all very well and plausible, but the ...
Most of the times the hikers might be more afraid of the owners having big dogs than the dogs themselves. So (if you at least want this), make yourself and/or the dogs as least aggressive looking ...
Maps and compasses are independent of any power source, so it is usually recommended to take them with you. GPS devices can fail, also because the GPS signal can be switched off or blocked. Alterna...
Am I putting myself at risk of retina damage? NO The category rating on sunglasses has to do with how transparent the tint is or is not. UV protection on sunglasses is clear. To prevent retin...
I would definitely discourage this. Accidentially releasing the device is dangerous and can lead to fatal incidents. Moreover, releasing the device is rarely needed to my experience. Therefore this...
Except for the type of shoes, I wouldn't use shoes with a thin sole, because when the road is covered with snow it's very easy to miss some dirt or other small objects where you place your shoes on...
Coming too late for OP, but I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Nerstrand Big Woods State Park, about an hour south of Minneapolis near Northfield. You can likely make six hours of hiking from it wi...
