I read the same articles, and it sounds like the invasive species management professionals expect to be able to completely eradicate the nutria without needing assistance from the public at hunting...
I use lysol disinfectant spray on my climbing shoes every once in a while. It works quite well. However, since you say you want to avoid chemicals, you may want to try cedar shoe / boot trees. The...
You are right that leaving the boots to air out periodically is the best solution, but not always doable. Changing sweaty socks is a good way to get boots to smell less. Socks are easier to carry ...

Maloo is correct. I am Australian too. The only precaution we have in rural Victoria is stay away from: A lone kangaroo that does not move away, or approaches. if you find one, watch constantly a...
Yes, this system is in use, on the coast of Victoria at least. I cannot get the maritime website to work on this device, there was a sweep (rotating light) and a flash. Both lights coincide when yo...
Although existing answers are not bad, I think they fail to stress the most important reason. North Cascades National Park is not easily accessible by car. The only roads in the park are the Steh...
Were any lighthouses designed to also provide directional information? Yes. All of Norway has that. Maps indicate what colour is shown in what direction: Source: Norgeskart

When indicator nymphing or euro nymphing it helps to have non tapered leader under the water to reduce the drag of the faster surface currents on the leader. e.g. When indicator nymphing in 6 foot...

Darker colours of indicator like black or dark red work well and white is probably the worst colour high glare situations. An indicator made of light and dark colours can help with visibility in a ...

For Switzerland I suggest contacting your local section of the Swiss Alpine Club (or you might directly sign up for it). They have sections all over Switzerland in all major cities (and many many s...
To accomodate the shoulder straps sliding over the collar bone without displacing the padding, I'd build a sleeve of some kind. Especially biking, the straps will want to move around if you go in a...
In general, the answer is most likely no. With regard to (at least) one specific scenario, however, kernmantle ropes are thought to be less resilient than twisted rope. Consider the case when one...
You are not going to like the answer, but a 5 member team should recruit a 6th person. I think 3 people per rope is ideal. 4 people always seems like too many and 2 people makes stopping a fall rea...
Because your foot doesn't pivot at the toe, but under the ball of the foot. Since the pivot is at that point, the front of the foot goes thorough the hole. This helps to anchor the snowshoe going ...
A bit later it states that during glacier travel, there should be a minimum of two rope teams. Is there any explanation why there should be 2 teams? The only case where this makes really sens...
I think you need to find out why the plate hurts. If putting a load on the bone is putting tension/torque on the screws that attach the plate, then any form of loading on the bone may be a problem...
One key aspect that has not been mentioned: routefinding indors is almost trivial, outdoors it becomes a real challenge and makes climbing a much more creative experience. In the gym, hold color (...
