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,...
If you are hundreds of miles away from anyone else, getting out of the car and walking is a stupid idea. Chances are you'll die before reaching anyone or you get lost. If someone goes out looking f...
As a teen I have helped to raise an orphan (European) crow, which was hand tame when it approached my parents in the local park. Clearly had been fed by humans and was not yet able to eat himself, ...
Put fabric softeners inside the shoe to keep the scent down or at least smell better and use Fabreze. Those two options have done wonders for me. Also, take your shoes of in between climbs to help ...
It doesn't sound like you're thinking of carrying a bear canister either. A bear will just wait until it's quiet then come into your camp - you may or may not be there. If you are there, then you ...
That depends a lot on the specific type of skin: Traditional "glue" type skins can be stuck together generally without damage, but as you discovered, it is not ideal. They are quite hard to pry apa...
First, if you go somewhere in a car, take along the clothes necessary to be outside for an extended period. 406 MHz PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) All the tragedies have one thing in common: the...
Luggage is usually chosen on its size, not on the weight it can transport. Liters are a measure of size, kilos are a measure of weight. To me it is harder to convert a given weight in a certain su...
I have never been in the area, but from what I can see in the Internet, there indeed are a lot of winter hiking routes in Lenzerheide. And all those routes are signposted. In fact, you can see a ma...
Well, I'm from Russia, and I heard that in the most desperate situation like this you can burn your car's tires. The tires are made of oil, so they burn well. Using fire from tires you can use othe...
Depends on the size of the bear. Black bears vary in size, small female bears can weigh in under 100 lbs, which makes them about the same size as a large dog. But big black bears can weigh in at ...
These are sort of a secret tip i got and took us on many incredibly awesome hikes: http://www.nzfrenzy.com/ My girlfriend and I travelled through NZ for a couple of months and mainly used these a...
A small travel-size shaving foam (not gel), is an inexpensive alternative to relatively pricey anti-fogging treatments. Single towels can be found in car wash vending machines for about $1. App...
As Russell Steen said, you might like the looks. But that aside, I see them as throwing knives that have a somewhat comfortable handle. If you try throwing knives with plastic handles, the handle ...
Depending on how handy you are you can build your own simple jig for very little money. There are several YouTube videos that explain the basic process/jig. One I found that seems cheap, and effici...
Research has established that humans adapt well to heat. Adaption to cold is a more controversial topic, but according to this literature survey any benefit from cold training is small and unrelia...
Regarding Grading That's a very common question for people new to competition climbing. Route setting for competition is in general quite different than for "regular" gym routes. Route setters at ...
