The roads are not the danger, the drivers on the road are the danger! Think about your question inversely (antonym); "Which is safer, icy roads or icy roads with snow on top?" It is not the prese...
White tiger you see is not the white tiger subspecies. White tiger are albino Bengal tigers or Siberian tiger just like human have albinism in all races. So of course they are very rare in natural...
I think there are simply not that many uses for nails in emergency situations. Using nails as intended: If you want to build shelter or other wooden constructions you would need a lot of nails...
There are many different folding bikes out there, do an images search if you are not convinced yet. What you look for, besides availability and price, is size and fit, good fitting folding clasps ...
The problem is that the chemicals in the treated wood are corrosive to metal, especially when wet. Beyond, the boat, it might not be so good for your trailer either. The two most popular chemic...
Low cost, or flash. Or make your own, they are "easy" to make. When learning how to use one (there is a reason they are still sold) it doesn't have to be precise. You just need something to pract...
Many adventurers have a stove on them, though not necessarily for the purpose you describe. From "Obtaining Water from Snow and Ice" by Dryad (who offer bushcraft and wilderness courses: Most ...
According to NAP.edu, the minimal (obligatory) daily water loss for an adult is at least 1 liter (~1 quart), which includes losses by the urine, feces, insensible perspiration and breathing (but no...
The answer is yes, but it may require equipment, which is not just the human ear. The publication quoted below is from Montana State University Disentangling canid howls across multiple species an...
I found an image of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail available at: http://www.mappery.com/maps/Tony-Knowles-Coastal-Trail-Alaska-Map.jpg It is exactly the same as the "printable map" that you linke...
Yes–historically single bladed paddles were common In Alaska, kayaks varied greatly by region and evolved over thousands of years into many shapes and styles. Single bladed paddles were often the ...
From your description of the area and given that it's springtime, it seems entirely possible the geese are nesting in the brush on either side of the path. In that case I would avoid attempting to...
There are two options. First you can sharpen it with a single bevel (per side), this requires sharpening with the wide bevel flat to the stone. Alternatively you can sharpen with a small secon...
Where others have said correctly that warmer air can contain more water vapor than cold air, a very important detail is that you need to move cold air to the wet clothes and warm the air there to c...
I'd like to suggest a different approach than the majority which seem to suggest that dogs shouldn't ever get to go hiking without being leashed. To me, you need two components, and you'll be suc...
Keeping your eyes on the wolf in a way that he could observe might also have been helpful. Because he was very thin (poor thing) he might also have been very weak. He might have been waiting for a ...
You should stay in the car, just sleeping on the ground will suck a ton of body heat. Even if you do have a cot, most tents won't keep heat nearly as well as a car, since most car's do have some a...
I suggest using both the car and the tent together. A car will lose heat fastest through the windows, so use the tent to cover them (and the top). The windows are a thin single layer of glass, wh...
Everybody seems to be addressing survival tips; so I want to instead focus on restarting that car to get back. While all cars/trucks behave differently, its important to understand how diesel vs ...
I read an article somewhere, about a family who got stuck in the cold. They were able to start a fire, and heat rocks. The hot rocks were brought into the car, and of course the cold rocks were pl...
To dry an object, as you know you want the water to evaporate off of it and out of it. Heat is one of the obvious ways to do that. The dumbed down chemistry lesson However, if you increase the hu...
It's really rather simple: All dogs in all public areas must be kept under control at all times. If your dog goes toward other people, it is not under control and must be kept on a leash, as other...
I am going to say yes, it is possible mostly because humans kill other humans with a single punch from time to time and black bears are certainly stronger. Cupido said there are “hundreds” of d...
The US Coast Guard has done a number of studies too try and predict this and it looks like survival times can are highly dependent on the person and what they are wearing when all of the other fact...
You could visit your local police department and ask if they can recommend a public range. This is somewhat more likely to get you a range that caters to handguns than rifles, but it's worth a try.
