I use a kids toothbrush (smaller size than adult) and cut down the handle a bit. Skip the toothpaste since your teeth are cleaned by the brushing action. If you really want it for your breath (???)...
In principle as a practical question there are several different numbers of relevances. As noted by others the simple formulae that relates the different measures is Watts = Volts x Amps. Now whe...
There isn't only one method, there are a few. Partially the choice depends on which canoe you have (big and wide, very stable or tippy, or a small solo) and if its calm water or not. What you can d...
Wiki A number of fabrics and textiles in common use today need no further UV-blocking enhancement based on their inherent fiber structure, density of weave, and dye components, especially d...
Stretch target: 10 days of GPS between charging points with minimal additional weight I'm planning some long on-trail thru-hikes where digital mapping would be much lighter and more practical. But...
There is a fantastic movie about the breeding/brooding/hatching cycle of the emperor penguin, which came out in 2005. The March of the Penguins. For a clip, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7t...
There are fuel cells with 12V output designed for this application, at least considering it as a battery charging task (random internet example at 100W). Methanol cells are more expensive but the ...
A dedicated GPS is likely to have better signal as well as better battery life. The key is that you don't have to run it all the time - if it's had a fix within the last few hours it will pick up...
Armoral for the rubber. It "helps renew and revitalize vinyl, rubber and plastic." Armoral is a great rubber protectant. It even helps rubber that has started to dry out come back to life. Also ...
I've been to various countries in the list (more than once in some of them). I don't think you're going to find wild camp in some of them. I've been to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam and mos...
One reason (and I don't know enough to suggest this is the main reason) is for identification. When putting a tent up you may have a bundle of fabric that you need to set down on an uneven surface...
In many places, the law requires it. A common access rule in many places is that public access is granted to flowing water, but only to the normal waterline. Access to the land above that water l...
I've tanned some hides before. I believe you want to do only half the process otherwise you lose the fur. Basically, you flay the animal (remove the skin). Then wash all the blood and stuff. Get i...
I find this fairly easy, but not as easy to explain. Knowing the types of trees and how they usually look helps a lot, dead branches will usually stand out a fair bit in my experience. Loss of ba...
This focuses more on attributes (habits) rather than equipment, since much of my study of history suggests that the possession (or lack) of equipment and/or supplies does not always determine succe...
I would begin with making sure the food plan is nutritionally well-balanced. For shorter trips you can survive on almost anything, and most people in developed countries are already carrying more ...
Though it isn't traditionally used as such, I've successfully used a buntline hitch (always of the slipped variety, unless I do not care if I cut the rope) in both roles, bending and binding. Bind...
I only tie one slipped half hitch(pulled really tight) but do a daisy chain after it. The loop created by that one slipped half hitch is the loop that starts the chain. To keep it secure while I'...
It all depends on your tolerance for being miserable if it turns out to be too cold. I have personally gone without a sleeping bag at all at around 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4°C), and survived, but it...
On reason why the Bison costs less is simply because it has less down. At 8oz for 35$, that's not a big difference though. The bison is warmer because it is more snug. The semi-rect shape of the C...
Yes, it compromises your hunt. Urine is one of the most important smells that game animals use to communicate with each other, so it is a smell they are most attuned to. During mating season, uri...
Despite not being a knot, I think a bale sling meets your requirements. There is little resistance on the hitch meaning it will cinch tight pretty easily and it is difficult to release while loaded...
Simplest thing I think would be to buy a climbing aider/etrier: It's light, it packs up small in your bag, and they're pretty easy to come by, you can just order one from a climbing shop. All ...
Fjellstyrene.no might lead you to the right fjellstyre and their website with more information about huts here is also a good start for finding open huts.. https://utelivet.wordpress.com/bubasen/...
I have had good luck taking a shotgun in hand and then picking out a spot at a typical bird type height and distance, often where the ceiling meets the wall in a corner. Then I stare at the spot, ...
