Obviously the best result you will get by using a proper patch kit for inflatables, likely a vulcanising rubber patch similar to what you're using to fix bicycle tyres. If you know what your'e doin...
Amundsen's team used a meter on their sledges to get close (dead reckoning) and then sextants to confirm the position. Using Amundsen's diary, Roland Huntford (in The Amundsen Photographs) d...
A good rule I was taught as a teenager is that each person must keep contact with the person behind them. Importantly, don't try to keep up with the person in front - if they are following the rul...
Always...Yes ALWAYS boil the water after filtration, Assuming that you have the materials to do so. Does not matter how "clear" the water appears...Boiling is still necessary in circumstances where...
Because swimming takes energy that your body could be using for heat and instead uses it for movement. The more energy you use in cold water, the more your body cools off. If you cannot climb o...
Regardless of the water temperature, trying to swim across a river after an earthquake that brought down a bridge is a probably not a good choice. Underground septic and sewer systems will be dama...
There are basically two ways to go slower while boarding. First, point more across the slope, rather than down it. Easier said than done, sometimes. Secondly, washing off speed by letting the boa...
A few drops of baby oil (light nontoxic mineral oil) to suffocate the cockroach, then blunt tweezers or alligator forceps to carefully remove it once dead and motionless, if it is visible and easil...
Here are the ideas I've come up with so far... Reasonable: Pay for a helicopter emergency service to go directly to the house. Have an emergency GPS beacon at home to alert a variety of emergenc...
While I'm unsure on what exactly is a small/mini knife for you I'm going to propose something nonetheless: Get a Swiss Army Knife. They come in all kinds of different sizes, so you should be ab...
The simple solution is to put the slowest person in the front of the group. This does two things. As long as no one passes, the group will naturally stick together. It encourages the slowest pers...
The simplest, as opposed to the optimal, approximation is to assume the inverse square law holds such that there is a 6 dB drop in the pressure for every doubling of distance. If we assume that the...
Yes, go to https://www.bing.com/maps/ and select "Ordnance Survey" in the drop-down in the top right corner. The zoom level you select will show either the 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 map you will see.
Use warmer water to begin with (even hot. possibly tea if you don't like drinking hot water) Use a thermos or an bottle insulation sleeve (typically made of neoprene, it will help a bottle stay wa...
If you want to make them even more compact (especially for longer slings), you can hold onto the biners, and twist one a couple of times, then continue twisting in the same direction and clip one b...
Sure, potassium (and salt) secreted by the skin will attract mosquitoes. However, it's a step removed (ingesting food -> nutrient absorption -> physiology -> mosquitoes) and there are so ...
This style of welding is the standard method of repair for holes and splits in plastic hulled kayaks, though I've seen much neater jobs. Some manufacturers leave extra material around the cockpit s...
I have found calendula cream to work well. It's the Neosporin alternative if someone is allergic to the active ingredient in it. Being a cream, it is also a bit cooling, so that may be what helps.
I burned the priming pad on my Primus Omnifuel (2011 variant) very easily in just a few primings. I would say it's a dense cotton, no way could be fiberglass.
With a hydration pouch, if body heat keeps the reservoir ice-free, the best option is to simply blow into the tube so water retreats into the reservoir after each sip. It sounds annoying but I had ...
To avoid leaks from stove after disconnecting the bottle, you could buy a self clearing stove like Primus Omnifuel or Optimus Polaris, etc. These stoves have ON and OFF marks on the bottle position...
Pretty much any, the bird feeds you get from the garden centres are normally very informative, you can see what to feed different birds for different seasons. If you get a multi-feeder, so basicall...
If it's not a motorway, it's not illegal. It might however be dangerous or very ill-advised (think of the fumes you would inhale all the way). I live near the A1 and would not consider walking any...
A motorway is very strictly defined and will always be named Mn or An(M). There are A roads sometimes called expressways that look a lot like motorways but they don't have hard shoulders and their ...
