Try thinner socks. If you're too tight in the boots, you'll be cold. It seems counter intuitive but blood circulation is what keeps you warm, just like what @Fenophter wrote in the comments. An aer...
An effective technique that I have used in the past for removing mould growth is to clean it using ice. Ice expands inside the tube, giving it very effective scouring force. Start by threading s...
placed a hand in front of himself and the horses stopped! Brave and perhaps foolish. Horses (especially dominant males) will charge a perceived threat, and they are big. They know how to prote...
When you just get started climbing there is a lot of things you can learn to improve your technique, and not all of it needs to come from climbing. Things you can do outside of the gym: Try ...
Technically speaking, no. For a Grigri to work, the cam must engage, so asking if it works when the cam does not, the answer is: no. Can it be used to belay? Yes, but it will be more difficult on...
The easiest is to just tie a knot in it and use it as is but treading it in the shoe so the knot is not going to interfere with the job. The easiest knot to use is an overhand knot, (also known by...
All over the Alps the huts and bivouacs can be divided into: available to anyone when unstaffed (some require key and registration, some not) available only in emergency when unstaffed open all y...
Most Likely, you are correct and it is a Pumpkinseed Sunfish. Though, pan fish interbreed and it could be mixed. The fish identification page (PDF:20/ Printed:37) in the 2019 Michigan Fishing Gu...
The specifics of this are unique to the person, but in general: Just keep going climbing. There are (very broadly speaking) two factors which determine how hard you can climb. Technique, or how...
Should I start off with a soft board or a hardboard? Foam board for sure. Primarily because an early bad experience (e.g. injury) could deter a learner from continuing to try, and if you get h...
According to this article: How to identify and treat snake bites - yes this does seem to be something which some people state as accurate. Venomous snakes have two fangs that deliver venom when...
A too short pack is worse because you will end up carrying some weight on the shoulders instead of the hips. I would normally lean toward the larger size but that is because I only use "frameless" ...
The most common cause for a blister to appear on your foot is due to the friction of your foot moving and rubbing inside of your shoe. The best way to avoid this happening is to ensure that you tho...
Paddle size is unsurprisingly related to rider height. While different people will vary by a little in their recommendation there are three general categories of usage that will determine the amoun...
That is a free climb (the outcome). The term you may use is All Free (AF). It is much more established in German (Alles Frei, remember, that RP »Rot Punkt« also comes from German). It (AF) makes m...
Without falling, wouldn’t it be hangdog, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_climbing_terms#hangdog With falling, I also would go for projecting. (Speaking of Sports climbing!)
The stronger person (if there is one) should sit in the rear. The rear paddler is also responsible for steering, even backpaddling for tighter turns. Bigger person, bigger blade, smaller person, sm...
I'm likely out of the norm, but I believe properly fitting (and thickness) socks may be even more important than the shoes with regard to blisters. I personally use Darn Tough because they are knit...
It seems like you buy bodysurf/bodyboard fins as @Brent point it out. Lifeguard (like me) enjoy it too, as it allow you to do medium length sprint (50 to 100 meters, like 100 to 300 feet) at record...
Out on a calm lake with minimal adverse conditions, you're not going to notice any real difference as long as you're above the absolute baseline in equipment. As with most sports equipment the diff...
There are a lot of factors that determine when you will get blisters that it is hard to say if one is better than the other. For example, brand new hiking boots vs. brand new trail runners is a tot...
Blisters are more a function of improperly fitting/not broken in footwear than the specific type, although some kinds can be worse than others. Heavier and stiffer boots take longer to break in tha...
The advice I normally give is that you should stand with your hand up in a relatively relaxed manner (not reaching as high as you can), and the paddle should come up to your wrist on the raised arm...
Briefly: make sure the boat sits as flat and level in the water as possible. As others have indicated in their answers above, it’s not good if there is too much weight in the front (which can happ...
It might seem obvious to more experienced paddlers here, but it drove my wife and myself crazy while trying to paddle on a 3-seater kayak. We were sitting on the two front seats, without noticing t...
