Putting it up in the garden sounds like a great idea, as it will let you check if: all parts are still there, everything is in working condition, you still know how to actually put it up. On...
I have this same problem with Vibrams and have found Lysol to be somewhat effective in mitigating the bacterial growth and ensuing smell. I use a quick spray a few times a week. If the smell gets...
Use an odor neutralizer. As the smell will be coming from the inside of the shoe, Spray them with an odor neutraliser or a specialist shoe odor neutralizer, then pack them paper or cloth impregna...
I hope you like a non-answer. There rarely ever is a theoretically optimal time to tack that can be described in the abstract, as there are so many unknown, random variables. The best time to tack...
The picture in the answer to that question you referred to here doesn't have a source listed for attribution. To me, however, it does look like the same picture as the one in the answer to the ques...
The answers you've received so far touch on several key elements of this situation: Liam's answer nicely addresses the how of carrying burning embers around with you, though it's not strictly app...
With cotton clothing the main risk is hypothermia, cotton soaks up a lot of water but also easily exchanges water easily with a wet environment, it's one of the coldest things to wear when wet. Wea...
I looked at some different plans and it looks like you could buy a prepaid plan and not activate it for up to 2 years. See the pricing here. However that seems like the really expensive option. S...
Yes you can. It's called a long match and here's an example of how to make one. I've seen several variations on this theme but basically you want a method to hold the heat of the fire with a limi...
In addition to the other answers some of these knives are meant to have a use as a spearhead. You use the cord to tie the metal handle to a stick or split the stick a little, stick the handle in be...
Dyneema is the most hard wearing, however if you need it to run through any friction grip or clutch it is not a good choice as it is very smooth and shiny. Polyester really is the cost-effective, ...
I didn't intend to self-answer, but after hours of 'net searching I seem to have stumbled on the answer, provided by an Olympic Gold Medalist sailor from Australia, so I hope we can trust it. You ...
Under the right circumstances, a black bear can kill a man (or a dog) with a single swat of its paw. While most back bears are timid and afraid of humans, due to 10,000 years of being hunted by Nat...
It looks like the answer is yes, they do pretend to bury their food to keep other squirrels from getting at it. Dr Michael Steele of Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and colleag...
While a close-reach or beam-reach is going to give the vessel the highest speed through the water, this may not be what you want. Being close-hauled will point you higher so while you lose speed, t...
Windward progress is so valuable in a tactical situation like a warship chase because the windward position is the more maneuverable one. If you can overcome your quarry's distance-made-good-to-win...
The Leki Contour-Basket small (75 mm) fit the poles and have worked quite well for me so far:
Consider a semi-dry suit. Here is a description of one from Scuba Doctor: Semi-dry suits are effectively a thick wetsuit with better-than-usual seals at wrist, neck and ankles. The seals limi...
Either small leaks or changes in atmospheric pressure. However if the bubble is less than 1/4 inch across it won't affect accuracy. Bubbles can form from high elevation or exposure to cold temp...
The mountain you're planning to hike is similar in size to the mountains I climb in the Canadian Rockies. I grew up climbing mountains, but I've never been one for training, especially running. If ...
The ship to windward is "ahead" Nothing is entirely linear in this game, but the key is that the further off the wind you're sailing, the faster you can go (this is not true of modern racers), up ...
Sleeping bags come in a variety of sizes (e.g., https://www.outdoors.org/articles/amc-outdoors/how-to-fit-a-sleeping-bag). The most common being regular and long (sometimes there is a short and som...
I occasionally do winter hiking and here are my 2 cents: Can I wear a thermos legging only? My ski pants do not allow a lot of freedom of movement. When doing winter hiking I believe the mos...
I suggest the first step is to go for the light, grabbable stuff - plastic bottles for example. The contents, if any, can be poured onto the ground. This assumes your roadside example, which is lik...
It looks like its a combination of smell and memory. Abstract. It has previously been assumed that grey squirrels, Sciurus cqrolinensis, cannot remember the locations of nuts they have buried,...
