Identification Wikihow has a decent enough page on identifying flint if you are lucky enough to find yourself in an area where it occurs naturally. Occurrence But flint is a natural resource. As...
I asked Ueli Steck as @fgysin suggested and got the following answer: It is "Sportusal Spray". This is a spray stimulating the blood flow. For more information have a look at the medication here...
No flint here. We do have many volcanic rocks that will spark. All I can say is walk the rivers, creeks, & such were water polish's stones. Hard rocks have a shine to them. Pick them up. Dry we...
That you find being on the edge of cliff scary is in fact a good, healthy response! It means that you are the product of millions of years of evolution, wherein people who had a complete disregard ...
Why exactly are these turkeys circling a dead cat? This is not normal behavior for turkeys to say the least, but it does give one the idea that there is strength in numbers. I once recall seeing c...
Hi I bought a standard gas canister adapter from ebay, some 6mm fuel line and two high quality butterfly clamps to connect the fuel line to the stove and the gas canister adapter. It works really ...
This is from a survival guild I once read. The process will take at least 30+ hours until you can figure out if it is eatable, and even then you should not eat until you are stuffed (if everythin...
If you put a plastic back over your head, you are going to suffocate. A good bivvy bag should be designed such that suffocation is not an issue. However, breathing into a bivvy bag is a terrible id...
There are a lot of games out there ("team building" games, introductory ones, icebreakers etc.). This is just the first result of a google search. All games can be adapted to the size and age of th...
Navigation. Assuming you know which hemisphere you are on, and assuming your watch is set to local time (even better if set to local solar time, rather than the locally observed time zone), and ass...
The tent. Whatever you are tying the hammock to is obviously sticking up a bit. Let's assume trees. Things that stick up are more likely to be hit by lightning. Since the hammock needs to be ti...
If it's below freezing, then you don't need to do much more to it apart from take it off of the animal. The Inuit in Northern Canada wear raw caribou hides, and keep them in the freezer over the su...
The simplest way of smelting iron is a bloomery furnace. This is essentially a beehive shaped structure, covered in clay and containing alternating layers of charcoal and iron ore with openings top...
At a guess? A change in architecture. Pigeons favor cliff ledges as nesting sites; they'll happily build nests on window ledges as a substitute for natural cliffs. Sparrows favor cavities: tree ...

You can spot sulfur very easily. The rocks will have a yellow or white coating in the river or streams near deposits. These can be scraped off. Or it can be found in some caves. A volcanic mountain...
Practice and remaining calm underwater seems to be the key to reducing your gas consumption. Most new divers consume lots of gas due to the unfamiliarity of being underwater, novice skills, and ...
Having used my Europe compass in America as well as in Australia, I would say you do not need a new one. It will still point one end of the needle to the north and the other to the south, only the...
While it is true that the magnetic field encompassing the Earth is not a sphere and dips inward at the poles, there is no reason a standard compass would not tell you which way is south and which ...
The effect that might make a compass not work in two different regions of the world is called (magnetic) declination. This is due to geometry (geographical and magnetic north are not the same) and ...
Yep. According to this study by authors C. A. Downs, Esti Kramarsky-Winter, Roee Segal, John Fauth, Sean Knutson, Omri Bronstein, Frederic R. Ciner, Rina Jeger, Yona Lichtenfeld, Cheryl M. Woodl...
Bring toilet paper and a shovel, exercise is a recognized method of increasing bowel motility (making you poo). Other than planning for the likely need, there are no reasonable medical measures yo...
I still think this is off topic but I don't agree with a posted answer. If you are talking hydrocarbons they are pretty toxic to humans even in small concentrations. A spill minor compared to th...
There are some very crude outdoor compasses which tell us the direction of true north (and assume we can estimate angles from north). The following also assume we're in the northern hemisphere. A ...
