A mostly non-medical answer. If you live in the United States (US) and you have health insurance. You can be relatively sure that the medical and legal communities both agree there there is ver...
You should always wear a helmet when climbing outdoors due to the risk of rockfall. The only downside to wearing a helmet is that it is slightly less comfortable than climbing without one, but thi...
A bit more than a comment on Olin's answer: I've done an experiment, and no, you can't. I took: a brand new CR2025 some steel wool to make it easier; this is a nice firelighting filament with b...
Yes if one of these tiny replaceable flints from a gas welding torch lighter lives on the chain of your nail clipper as well. The flints are so small this is reasonable. Apologies couldn’t find...
I like nail clippers for any mono line, and specialty scissors for braid.
As long as you can safely clip into the cable, prefer that as it's the safety equipment on a via ferrata and lets you move faster and in a more ecomfortable way. But of course safety first, do what...
The technical difference is on which focal plane the reticle is etched on, at the focal plane between the objective and the image erector lens system (the First Focal Plane (FFP)), or the focal...
If you're simply looking for a bag to transport your bow in, then go shopping for a compound bow bag. There is a large selection of bags available. If you're specifically looking to invest in a...
I would make an improvised bore snake with a piece of string or fishing line and a small piece of clean cloth and pull the piece of cloth through the straw just like you would a gun barrel. Everyo...
Possibly, but I highly doubt it. The thing is that it's not that easy to restring a compound bow and most people would probably pay someone else to do it for them. Recurve bows are much easier to ...
Here's an old video of a Fred Bear Borsalino take-Down compound bow being taken down and put back together. There is also a Fred Bear TRX 32 take-down compound bow on ebay. I didn't see any of th...
The other answers sum it up great for the most part: it will work on other mammals if you have a chance to use it. It's pretty strong stuff, and while I could imagine something like a bull elephant...
Nail Clipper file is very likely made of stainless steel, which cannot produce spark. Same analogy in stainless knife vs. carbon steel knife. Even it is high carbon steel under the chrome, you have...
Yes you will need a special kind of rock. The spark is a tiny bit of burning iron struck off the source of iron by a really hard rock. So if you are only using rocks then you will need 1 iron ric...
I doubt that there is anything about your body chemistry that is a cougar attractor. But, if you are a petite person, a lion will see you as easy prey. And, if the stalking occurred at dawn or du...
You're essentially "paddling" the air with your sail. I go windsurfing in Waterton Lakes National Park, it's quite gusty there, so I've been caught a few times riding a gust out into the lake when ...
It depends on the device but 5-7 years seems like the max with some as short as 2 years. The gas sensors in CO alarms have a limited and indeterminable life span, typically two to five years. T...
It's possible to do it with ice that has been shaped into a convex lens. The ice needs to be clear and fairly large like 5 inches across. Obviously this won't work in the summer, and the cold tempe...
If you can recover a source of glass, you should be able to melt it using a charcoal fire with bellows to force air and increase the temperature. You'd need a mould, for which clay would be good. T...
As has been mentioned in other answers, for vision, a pinhole device, similar to what is used for pinhole cameras, is your best bet. Short of water (which you have already ruled out), that's about...
Recovering from Pump You already mention you shake out your arms. I read an article suggesting an improvement on the standard "shake out each arm by your side" technique. In Slowing the Pump Cloc...
It's also possible to start a fire using a plastic bag filled with water. If by any chance you stumble open some waste of people that left it behind, or you happen te have kept that one sandwich b...
A clear mineral crystal can be worked to a lens shape with enough time and effort. Quartz, sapphire and ruby are likely candidates. Ruby lenses were common on wand style barcode reader pens. Even...
Unlike driving, with boating there are not a lot of regulations that will get you in trouble with the authorities. Number 1, would be a launch permit. This varies by body of water, but essentiall...
Helmet Policy Some climbing centers and organisations mandate helmet usage even indoors for younger or novice participants. Safety in Outdoor Education Policy for Schools & Youth Groups for t...
