I have had multiple encounters with wild horses in an environment where they are used to the presence of hikers. There was an obvious pattern where approaching within a certain distance (which isn...
As others have pointed out, you cannot do so with a portable cooler. It is, however, possible to keep ice for months, passively. You will need to dig an ice house, which should be the size of a t...
So having a quick read this could be a molting process. Many animals have summer / winter coats and Woodchucks / Groundhogs are one of these lucky creatures. Woodchucks have two layers of hair,...
To give two more numbers that can serve as rough guesstimates which make clear that cooling for 18 days on a tour is likely unfeasible. I'm assuming hiking tour as it isn't specified. One rule of...
As @Pont says, there are lots of train connections to Berlin, so one-way bike tour + return by train or also hopping from one nice region to another by train is definitively an option you should co...
In short, just the name. Fjord is of Norse origin, loch of Gaelic. They are the same feature, formed when glaciers debouch into the sea. In both countries, you'll find varying scales, from a few...
Go big or go home Look for boat ranges with an "HV" (high volume) or large option. The most important factor to you is going to be how well the boat holds your weight and how well it handles unde...
I'm a Canuck. My father in law is German and lives there. Whenever he speaks to my wife, he has her tell me Petri Heil, knowing we both fish. Neither of us speak the other's language though I have ...
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...

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...
