My color vision isn't perfect so I'm not completely sure what you're talking about on that map. I see two things on there that you might be talking about: 1) I see several paths with names that ...
I am interpreting the question broadly as how to kill ticks on hiking and gardening clothes, not just the efficacy of microwaving them. The method I suggest will work fine if you have a dedicate...
A somewhat more general answer, not focused on the Adirondacks. Most areas have an agriculture or forestry division, or natural resources division that has done extensive soil maps of the state. ...
When I was a kid, we had like plastic lids that fit over the top of pop cans, designed to keep out the yellowjackets (wasps that like your sweet beverage). You opened a hinged trap over the can's o...
Yes, at least you should consider it to. Rules (not exhaustive at all) that I was taught to obey at all times (and afaik that's generally a mantra of the "weapons-community" around here): Every ...
This is a partial answer, without the requested statistics. Lighting strikes can disrupt the normal electrical signals in the heart. See Cardiac Effects Of Lightning Strikes Assuming that no othe...
Hummingbirds find the feeders by sight. Some ways to attract them include: Use a feeder with bright colors. Red seems to be a color that they are particularly attracted to. Try to have colorful...
I see these everywhere where I live (Central Texas). We usually call them "pill bugs" or "rollie-polies" (usu. young children). It shouldn't do you or anything you own any harm; they mostly just c...
Something not widely understood yet of critical importance is the cold water shock phenomenon. Cold-water shock is the first stage of the sudden and unexpected immersion in water which temperat...
In aid climbing this is still sending since hanging on protection is part of the game (as @StrongBad points out, hanging on the rope is a little different than hanging on protection.) In sport cli...
I'd suggest being very careful with information about venomous snakes on the internet. The reason is the USA's traditional preponderance on that medium (particularly the English-speaking portion of...
@noah is correct but I want to add: UV in sunlight can actually kill the top layer of mold and mold spores. But it won't do much to established mold. Having a dark colored bottle will actually in...
In general, you will have an easier time finding places to backpack with dogs in Oregon than California. Most parks in Oregon allow dogs unless specifically stating otherwise. As such, I am not g...
A flare is designed around producing light or smoke for a long period (often 30 seconds or more), rather than heat. If a flare is all you have, then it may serve as a fire-making tool, but I would...
PFDs come in various flavours: The best ones have sufficient floatation around the neck, and enough more flotation on the front compared to the back, than an unconscious victim is naturally rotate...
Great question I would think through in your specific case the following steps: store it (at home or at a public boat ramp if available) transport it (if it’s not already at the launch point)—-to...
Mould does not need light to grow, and the proposed green colour will prevent you seeing mould growth, and being darker inside, will encourage mould growth. What is important for mould growth is d...
Some things I learnt from books, occasionally an instructor and from others: Pack heavy things close to your body. So do not put heavy things in the outside pocket at the back of your main backpa...
The best way is to reduce (actually to remove) any kind of attractions they like: food and water. If they cannot find anything useful, than they will stop releasing scents that attracted other ants...
There are a number of articles on the web telling you how to kill ants that invade your campsite with common household products. See, for example, Tips And Tricks To Stop Ants From Invading Your C...
As someone who thru-hiked the AT, and has had many a blister, I can safely say that you really need do nothing for them other than to remove the dead skin once the blister pops, off load any pressu...
Flares appear to weigh up to around 200g each, and to be fairly bulky. As each one can only be used once, that's a lot to carry per fire - a similar amount of liquid fuel and tinder could be expect...
You are outnumbered. You will never be able to "completely eradicate" ants. Outsmart them instead. Build a moat. A trick for keeping ants off a table is to put each table leg in a small container...
It depends on your lure/bait, if you have. Fishing is also a lot about luck. Right fish, right lure/bait, you could get one.
Besides super glue, as some do not want to go that route, here is another option. You also mentioned that you cut it off. This can actually slow the healing process as it will dry out the skin und...
