Some places have rocks on the shore that arrive there naturally. The effect of a few dozen people per mile people picking up a rock from random locations uniformly distributed along a moving river...
I like wax paper for repairs on boats over a small area so i can build up a somewhat thick layer of gelcoat that can later be sanded to blend with the rest of the repair. It takes a lot of patien...
If you are satisfied with trapping raccoons one at a time, I recommend the cat-sized Havahart Trap. These traps come in many sizes, from mouse to coyote and maybe larger. I have no affiliation w...
I agree with Erik that the best approach is to use charcloth. It will light in seconds and allow you to transfer the embers to a birds nest for a quick start to your fire. Otherwise, yes, I've also...
My only concerns would be around its tear resistance (in case of rubbing against a sharp bit of the tree) and bend radius. If those are appropriate, then it should work as a sling. Be aware that ...
You might try different bait, something that's more smelly like wet cat food or supposed to work better like marshmallows. If you can at the same time limit the other things they might want to eat,...
A bit more methodical approach to IDing this plant: Opposite leaves + a corymb of multiple dark-colored, round drupes is very indicative of the genus Viburnum. If we check BONAP and Ontario Trees...
A concise summary of no-nos for nylon rope and webbing: Strong acids and alkalis, particularly battery acid and muriatic acids, and chlorine bleach. Black Diamond replicated a harness failure whe...
Not sure where you are, but Alan Weakley et al. have developed a downloadable flora app available through the Apple AppStore called FloraQuest, which covers most of the Eastern US at this point. ...
This is a tussock moth caterpillar in the Lymantriidae family. The image is not clear enough for a definitive ID, but it appears you have some species in the genus Orgyia. Likely, this is a w...
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 :) ): ...
