The most useful thing you can do with an axe in case of a boar attack is throwing it into the bushes and climbing the nearest tree. Trying to melee with a charging boar is a bad ideaTM, regardless...
I use a repellent that contains 30% Lemon Eucalypus Oil and have found it to be effective against flying insects. According to testing done by consumer reports, it is also effective against ticks ...
If you're cost motivated, then you don't need to look at anything else other than the price tag. Cheap bikes are cheap, so it doesn't really matter what they come with as long as they work. If you'...
do I have to ask land owners or could I go into a forest away from people and hunt there? Yes, you always need the land owners permission to hunt/fish or even to leave designated footpaths. ...
I believe this is called walking in circles :) What happens is that is that without a compass or GPS, you tend to head to one side instead of going straight. Eventually you will complete the circl...
In addition to DEET and permethrin, which were mentioned in other answers, there are a couple other insect repellent possibilities: Picaridin (also known as icaridin) Protects for up to 8 hours ...
Providing you're not setting this up too high, a good cheap alternative is to pop down your local climbing wall and ask if they have any old rope. Climbing walls throw out rope all the time. Depend...
My first reaction is Hempex, which looks like and feels like traditional hemp rope, but is made of polypropylene. Or of course the same kind of rope from other manufacturers. It is widely availabl...
I can't take any credit for already knowing this, all my information comes from an article from Penn State University, entitled Deer-Forest Study: The eyes have it! Some of the information in this...
This answer will focus on the generalities of common American backyard songbirds, because I haven't had experience with any other type of bird. Rescuing a baby bird is a great thing! There are ple...
From everything I have read, its mostly about giving hunters who would prefer wearing pink to orange the choice to do so. Before taking a hunter safety class in October 2016, sisters Paige and ...
Maybe something like this could help: http://www.ventragear.com/shop/mainframe However, I have not test that, so I cannot really tell if is it good or not.
It will depend so much on the individual. I think your numbers are aggressive. You should do some training and start at more the 10-12. And finish at like 14-16. Your legs, heart, shoulder...
Its going to depend on the person and the terrain, from experience it takes about 5 days to week to really hit your stride, but that will depend per person and some people take much longer to reall...
When one talks of adapting to an altitude, what also matters is how fast one is ascending. The critical part to note is that having a higher haemoglobin level does not mean one is better equipped a...
The concept of wind chill does not apply in this situation. Wind chill talks about perceived temperature due to additional heat loss due to convection. Meaning without wind, the "heated" air will s...
I can tell you that no liveaboard operator will go on trips where they do not provide for diving opportunities for people on entry and advanced levels. All dives will be with a buddy and most li...
The general rule I use is if your tent needs to be heated to be comfortable, then you're "doing it wrong" and should have gotten a better tent. There isn't really any weather (especially backpackin...
When spraying herbicides a temperature inversion can cause the droplets to be suspended above the ground and transported horizontally causing damage to other crops. This myfarmlife.com web site ha...
First, lets talk briefly about the underlying issue, before addressing your specific question: If you get serious muscle pain (taking 5 days to go away is serious), you should adjust your hiking. A...
It really does seem to depend on where you are. As you mention some states do not allow for the disposal of fish in water. For example from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources: Disp...
According to Wikipedia: Aconcagua is arguably the highest non-technical mountain in the world, since the northern route does not absolutely require ropes, axes, and pins. Of course, non-techn...
From http://www.instructables.com/id/Alcohol-Can-penny-stove/ We now need to crimp the edge of the base can so it fits inside the top can, with your pliers go around the edge of the can, grip...
In short: Not completely reliable but good enough for emergencies. It may give you north-east or north-west, but it will not give you south instead of north if you do it right. A compass used by an...
Unless it’s so asymmetrical that it’s noticably making you turn I’d strongly suggest not worrying about it. At recreational kayak speeds I doubt it’s adding measurable drag, especially with a rock...
