I usually buy one single-use bottle and keep it until losing it. One bottle I had for around a year, it was a PET bottle. Another one I've now used for almost a year and replaced it just because it...
I suggest taking the target species, season and location into account as the deciding factors. I started with wet flies because I was targeting bass and panfish in a small inland lake during the...
Yes, but you might want to use a short paddle. While the difference between a canoe and a kayak in practice is only the seat, and people do swap out kayak seats for canoe saddles in playboats, you...
You would only want to use one of them at a time. With that said there are a couple of possibilities here, There is another strap that you have missed that goes to the second point (this is the m...
You can try a non chemical way to add visibility to an almost invisible flame: a small metal net layer on top of the flame that the flame will go through and after just a few seconds will be incand...
My guess, backed up by the definitions for unisex in the Oxford English Dictionary is that this is a attempt by manufacturers and sports shops to show that they recognize that women too, hike and b...
This looks like a combination of keyword stuffing and people in the UK apparently wanting unisex products. It might be like labeling things that don't normally contain gluten as gluten-free for th...
No, pretty sure there isn't one but you do have a couple of options, Just bring two bladders and switch to the other when empty. There are 6 liter MSR dromedaries that I have used for when you ne...
I reuse "single-use" plastic bottles many, many times. Generally, they do not break. The big advantage of many outdoor-use plastic bottles, however, is that the lid remains tethered to the bottle....
See "How to Make Colored Fire (Ask an Expert)", while the article is intended for fireplaces and not cooking amongst the recommendations is borax which is not very poisonous (in some countries it i...
I don't think there is one tent material that will prevent ants from cutting through, unless you want a ridiculously heavy kevlar tent. All classic materials are definitely not sturdy enough. I k...
Depends on the activity. Depends on the time of year. Summer on the trail: Water. I don't bother with anything else. Salted nuts are part of my lunch and there is a salt shaker with supper. S...
I was about to write a long essay on how strange the Norwegian rules regarding rights-of-every-man and the department of safety and readiness but I realized you are just asking where to find the in...
If the rock is granite, the white inclusions are almost certainly quartz. The OP ruled out ab2's original suggestion of calcite with his scratch test, the results of which he edited into his quest...
There is some data on this but mostly it's the really broad type that aren't particularly useful, and its scattered all over the place. It also depends on what type of data you look at, rock climb...
A reasonable compromise is any pop bottle -- one designed for carbonated beverages. They are several times as strong as the water bottles. I've never managed to break one. I have a polyethylene ...
It's reasonable to identify stages up to the start of shivering. But shortly after that judgement goes out the window. If you are traveling in a group, set up a buddy system. Each person has a ...
Interesting how everyone is carrying upside-down. We have two 5m fibreglass kayaks (based on Zegal Greenlands) that we carry on the roofrack - right-side up. I have made two strong rectangular pl...
Ok, I think I figured it out, the guy before me did a weird thing so it confused me. But I think one is for the shoulder strap and the other for the lid of the bag. I included a pic, please let me ...
One-liner: Wiki thinks its the same. Although Wiki is not always perfect about information it posts, the justification there make sense to me. Looked up at Heat Index wikipedia, it says, The ...
The stress on your body will be the same, and it will take about the same time again to acclimatize, as others already explained. I wanted to add some other information: different people react very...
next to a small river so I could step out into the clear to get at least some view of the sky That's really the bare minimum for good signal. This will have much more impact than how you hold ...
Do you mean sleeping bag liners? If so, I've never seen a 2-person liner although they seem to exist. Consider buying two and going to a tailor/seamstress to get it modified. It shouldn't be expens...
This is on the eastern side of “western”, but Tully Lake in Royalston MA has tent-only camping (hike/paddle in, no vehicle access) and trails beside a small gem of a lake. http://www.thetrustees.o...
I think that you could go for the Duluth area and in particular for the superior hiking trail, depending on you goals. It is a historic touristic area, with plenty of nature, on the lake, and with ...
