There are a few possibilities: Other Turtles This site about pet turtles mentions the possibility that turtles fighting over a mate (or actually mating) may end up on their backs. When bree...
In addition to the reasons given in @John Hughes answer, Predators may be another cause. This SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment page on the longevity and causes of death of sea turtles lists tige...
Maybe you could have a very thin glass tube attached to a bigger will of water a bit like a watering can but with a thin spout then use a magnifying glass to boil water in the very top of the tube ...
Your sleeping bag & tent setup looks ok but I would be a bit worried with the matress. 1.3R value is a bit limited and as the ground in Northern Norway can be pretty wet/cold in Troms, I would ...
In addition to the answer by Charlie, Linseed oil is probably used in many instructions because it is what was historically used to create oil cloth. A nice tutorial for creating historical oil cl...
Biggest reason is weight. Horse packers still use canvas wall tents. Almost indestructible if you don't store them wet. But a 9x12 wall tent can weigh over a hundred pounds, and much more if wet...
If I had a 22lr and if it was legal, I would consider putting it out of its misery with that, otherwise you did the correct thing. When there is no practical way to save it, and you only risk inj...
Possibilities: Some form of remote sensor, Perhaps they wanted to monitor microclimate values of temp and humidity on a long term basis. Bug trap. The container fastens with wingnuts, while the...
Alternative answer in case you can't reliably come up with a good fuel solution: buy an alternative burner for your Trangia stove. If finding ethanol fuel is too much of a hassle it might be worth...
In an emergency, I have used a flameless oven, with the hot steam venting out of the tent using a tube. These reactions produce a ludicrous amount of steam, so you need to vent the steam. I rigged ...
You can shoot an arrow from a bow that is so light as to cause damage to the bow! There needs to be some resistance/weight in the projectile or you will be - in effect - dry firing your bow, which...
Herbivore faeces doesn't smell as much as human faeces (or dog/cat/other carnivore). The vast majority of mammals, by number or mass, are herbivores. Population densities of large herbivores (overa...
In short, yes. The rules in Section A (right of way) always apply, even when constrained by rules in Section B and C (which include room at marks). Boat A in your scenario is required to gybe at ...
I went to ACE Hardware and built my own for the Orange 5 Gallon water containers as well. Cost 11.29 for (1) spigot, (1) nipple, (2) gaskets and a (1) stainless washer to compress the washer on the...
Even though you say cost is not a primary factor, I still think it's good to be aware of this point when buying your first climbing shoes when mainly used in gyms (I wasn't aware at the time :) ): ...
Imsodin's answer provides a great general overview of things to think about when looking for a first climbing shoe. I'd like to expand a bit further with the fit of a shoe. The first thing I wou...
I love Seek, by iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app Besides Flora: Fauna and Fungi are part of the detection possibilities. The answers are very detailed. Although there is ro...
If someone is going quickly I prefer to alternate my brake hand. This way I don't need as much time to "reset". It also allows me to grab large amounts of slack at once. You just need to be comfort...
I'm not an alpinist, but I think that the answer relating to "conditions" is entirely dependent on the local conditions for the position on the glacier where you intend to cross. Sure, crevasses a...
I'd be careful of wild pigs (boar or sow doesn't matter that much) when moving rather than when camping/sleeping: the danger is if you meet them and they are cornered. But unless you like to enter ...
In simple terms: "Heat Index" is what it feels like based on temperature + relative humidity. "Feels Like" is temperature + relative humidity + wind speed. With most any breeze, "Feels Like" i...
It looks like radar reflectors will not hurt but they aren't great either. The bigger and higher they are the better, which is easier to do on a sailboat than a sea kayak. According to one study, a...
I'm pretty sure it's some kind of a suet cake/fat ball, i.e. bird's food, see the first image on the Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suet_cake (Luc Viatour / https://Lucnix.be)
Here is a suggestion, though somewhat wacky is perhaps more realistic than the "hat" idea. The page Sailing Safety Secrets - Are You 'Radar Visible' to Ships at Sea? says that the reflector should...
tldr: string walking is used with the goal of not moving your aiming point during a change of target distance. It's the equivalent of adjusting your sights in recurve I'll paint a little picture f...
