I was just googling how to fix one of my reels that had this same issue. Turns out I have the exact same reel. Thought I'd let you know that it wasn't the "little thumb screw" it was a tiny littl...
Apart from the reasons already stated, namely getting used to doing it that way as it will help you on smaller footholds, there's also maneuverability: If you step with the entire foot, it is reall...
Used (spent) coffee grounds contain little to no caffeine (after all, its been extracted into the cup you drank). Depending on the situation, either pack it out, bury, or spread diffusely over a wi...
Plastic medical bottles for liquids that have been rinsed well ( the 250 ml size is perfect)
GENERAL CONDITIONING As @ap2 has said training is quite task-specific, so the priority for hiking hills with a heavy pack is to get out as much as possible and hike hills with a heavy pack. You wa...
The material in Owlcation, Can Caffeine Kill? How It Impacts Animals, Plants, and the Environment, updated June 23, 2018, suggests that the safest thing to do with coffee grounds, relative to the e...
The pro's of DIN are listed in the other answers. Here is a big con that may be a unique contribution, and perhaps only endemic to where I come from: At dive resorts, I have witnessed some poorly m...
There are many things to consider. Do you cook in your tent or outside? That matters, because the more time it takes you to warm up whatever, the more heat you're going to waste. That's not too imp...
Usually the last thing you want for snow is a waterproof jacket. Many waterproof breathable layers will ice up inside because at low temperatures water doesn't have a high enough vapour pressure t...
Dirty bird feeders are known for causing problems for birds, CPW said the disease has not yet been confirmed in Colorado, but the agency wants to warn people that house finch eye disease, along...
No actual numbers here, but according to the American Heart Association (AHA), patients who receive immediate aggressive bystander CPR after cardiac arrest due to lightning strike actually have a d...
This tent is a tunnel tent with the poles inserted into sleeves in the exterior flysheet and the inner tent suspended from inside the flysheet. This means that there is no practical way of pitching...
Long time ago I used walking boots and had to use crampons (lend by the mountain travel organization). My shoes where not from the highest category, and during one occasion, a clampon slipped off....
Assuming both the 40 and 60 grain are actually subsonic (the projectile does not break the sound barrier) and both have similar muzzle velocities, you should expect the 60 grain to be louder. It...
I suggest adding something for the birds to perch on right next to or on top of the feeder. A few sticks or branches tied to the top of the feeder may be enough. I had a birding lecture last night...
The F8 is an inherently secure eye knot. Not all knots are inherently secure - but the F8 is, and hence one of the reasons for its enduring popularity for use in life critical applications. The sim...
Snow jackets come in a lot of different variations. Insulation - from shell to full down insulation Water Resistance - From light to full Breath-ability - From light to full Note that waterpro...
I have observed these, I have seen dogs, goats, cats, wolves, etc scraping the ground. In some cases they sat onto it. In some cases they didn't. Following are cases where it makes sense: Sharpen...
Because they like it. It feels good, so they do it. Many mammals roll in sand or dirt, presumably to keep parasites away or to help dry themselves after exercise or becoming wet. A sand roll...
One factor you might want to consider is how large your dog is. If you have, say, an Alaskan husky, it's unlikely a lone coyote would attack a dog twice his size, especially with a human nearby. Co...
Triglav (2,864 m; 9,396 feet) is the highest mountain in Slovenia/Europe and is a part of "Julian Alps." The season when there's no snow on it and when the mountain houses are open is only July-Aug...
Your best overall strategy for trail safety would be to seek human walking partners, perhaps through a walking group or social or neighborhood organization. Not only are threats (coyote and otherw...
This is not supported. Hummingbirds have a very high metabolic rate, the highest rate among all tetrapods (all the land dwelling animals). They do appear to sometimes fall over after drinking the ...
A large part of this is personal preference as other answers have stated, and it really does depend on what you will be doing. For non-winter conditions then lighter more flexible shoes are more c...
Yes, they should be additive in this situation and its pretty commonly done. As long as the materials involved are dense solids in direct mutual contact,[9] R-values are additive; for example, ...
