The easy technique is to simply hold the spear in your hand with the tip under the water and stab the fish. Once your spear enters the water, refraction has identical effects on your view of the s...
One could use many natural things as a projectile, but I will limit my answer to two items and the lethal possibilities would depend on how close you are to the victim. This is such an expansive qu...
I'd try a higher r-value pad or add a pad. There is a fair amount of variation in what people say you should use (in fact checking this post, it was r1.5 to r5). If your 2.8 isn't cutting it for ...
Moving vertically +-2m is a lot. An awful lot. It shouldn't be more than a few cms. This sounds like there's something else going on. Good buoyancy requires lots of practice to master. The bes...
I use lighted nocks on my arrows because it helps me judge the quality of the arrow strike on an animal. When the LED on the arrow tip flies across your field of vision, it leaves a trace in your ...
I ended up buying two different pairs of removable sole coverings with a sandpaper-like material on them (appropriately called Sandy and Sandy Plus, made by a company called Springyard in Sweden): ...
Avoiding Pump: Warm up, warm up, warm up. To avoid serious arm pump you need to do at least 15 minutes of EASY climbing. That's 15 minutes of you doing what you feel is exceptionally easy, even if...
Probably, but it likely wouldn't keep you as warm underneath unless you wrapped it all the way around, in which case you have almost duplicated a sleeping bag. Depending on the temperature it mig...
This is a supplement to @Ken Graham's excellent in-depth answer. It's an expansion on a link he referenced in his second picture, which seems to perfectly fit the criteria you're seeking. The org...
I would simply go by the loft. More specifically the minimum loft. If some baffles have blown out the bag is not as effective. I don't have source but I read lumberjacks that use the bag year ro...
It seems that that there is at least one company that has wheelchair accessibility for railbike riding. It is in Belgium as can be seen here. Biking on rails: it is not an activity we do in th...
The name change is going ahead, at least for now The Ahwahnee Hotel and other Yosemite National Park landmarks soon will be renamed amid a legal dispute between the government and the facilitie...
Disclaimer: I don't use whippets and have never even hold one in my own hands. From the build of a whippet and a question about whippets on AAI (provided by Ben Crowell) it has a very narrow use c...
How about leaving the PADI fold and moving on to other styles of diving, for example technical diving: where you can learn to do much longer dives with decompression (an hour at 30 metres?); wher...
This typically indicates you have movement in your shoes, perhaps your insoles are worn and squashed and need replacing. The balls of your feet sliding on the bottom of your boot will eventually bu...
Yes, I do. But whereas the other answer suggests to wear ankle or calf socks, I wear socks that go over the calf - to the knee. I tend to wear winter boots 2 sizes too large, and summer hiking bo...
They are designed to fix your ice axes to the backpack so that they won't move very much. This task should be realized in a lightweight manner and it should be easy and quick to release/adjust. One...
My only thought is to use them as patching material for the other self-inflating pads your kitties will puncture. Cutting them to-size for inside an animal crate or other surface you want to protec...
One excellent idea is a trip to the sanctuaries owned by the Mass Audubon Society. They have an exciting program called The Accessible Trails Project. Our goal is to connect as many people a...
Frame challenge: You should probably not be heating your tent at all. Instead I suggest getting a better sleeping bag / thermal mat / clothes to sleep in. --> In combination with a decent ten...
The article Iron Production in the Viking Age on Hurstwic discusses sources of iron available in the wilderness of Scandinavia and Iceland. To my knowledge and experience, similar sources exist in ...
You should be able to breathe out through your nose and have no effect on the seating of the mask -- that's what rebreather divers do all the time. If you can't do this, it has to be a problem of...
One problem is going to be predators, scavengers, and insects eating the body. In the extreme they might drag the body off and you cannot find it. They are dead - there is no a big hurry. Pres...
I have picked wild strawberries in Colorado often while I am out hunting. My go-to place for wild strawberries is on old logging roads that have been overgrown. It takes some clear area with shad...
Today GPS systems are relatively cheap and widely available. You don't even need a dedicated GPS receiver. For example, I often use a Android tablet with a built-in GPS, and software that can rec...
