As a general rule, to develop strength and endurance in doing X, you need to do X. Thus, I suggest that (1) the OP continue to take two day hikes, with a heavier pack than he has in the past; (2) ...
Another factor to keep in mind: Heat rises--the warmest part of the ice chest is on top. Thus you have ice there and food underneath it so it's ice that melts rather than food. That being said, ...
Drop the main. We drop the main at dockside and raise it in the boat all the time. We destination sail around Long Beach to other harbors and slips all the time. I've never paddled for a long dista...
Short answer: A cooler containing more ice and less frozen food will last longer than a cooler containing all frozen food. With frozen contents of a given mass, the length of time a cooler will st...
I seem to have a different answer from others. I’ve worn Asolo or zamberlan full leather boots for 40 years, pretty much every day. I walk a bit over 1000 miles per year in them, 200 on trails and...
According to A morphological model for sexing nestling peregrine falcons ( Falco peregrinus macropus ) verified through genetic analysis published by ResearchGate, they input various features of th...
When considering the 'best', at least for sunscreens, it's important to consider where you're buying, and why you're buying in that market. The FDA is far behind other nations in sunscreen ingredi...
I don't have numbers (yet), only rough guesstimates from observing the appetite of my 3 yo swiss mountain dog He's on the skinny side and the least greedy dog I know, so appetite probably translate...
As a cyclist, I expect to get wet if I'm riding hard in the rain. But if I'm wearing something waterproof -- breathable or not -- the (cold) rainwater will be kept separate from the (warm) sweat, ...
The easiest way to do this is to use an electric rope cutter. Source To use this you wait till the blade is hot then stretch the rope tight with your hands giving yourself a couple of inches on...
Non-breathable waterproof garments are basically polyurethane plastic at the surface. This has one very big benefit in that dirt doesn't stick to it much, and what sticks will usually come off with...
If you don't have an electric hot-knife, it's possible to heat a (sacrificial) table knife in a flame until it glows, and use that to make the cut against a wooden block. It doesn't need to be sha...
Goats are mineral deficient and will often scrape and lick areas that contain urine to acquire needed salts. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/olympic/home/?cid=stelprdb5412239
Note: I don't have any experience with mountain goats in particular, but have hunted and tracked wild goats from other species. I am assuming that they are similar. Like all goats, there will be s...
When you have no water to drink: You can eat foods high in water and low in proteins, such as fruits, vegetables and milk, which usually contain more than 90% of water. Do not eat foods high in ...
If you don't have a hot knife or professional rope trimmer/cutter, you can use a very sharp (fresh) single-edge razor blade. Make the cut and then seal the end of the rope with an open flame or a ...
Just a reasonably sharp knife and a tape are fine. First use a sticky tape (better cotton, rather than electric - the climbing tape for finger taping is fine) around the place of the cut. Then cut ...
To ride a motorcycle, for example, you will never chose breathable fabric. If you have to wear rain pants, temperature is such that sweat is almost never an issue and you want your garment to be as...
Possibly not-crazy idea in certain cases If there is ice available somewhere, perhaps your tarp/bowl resulted in a convex lens-shaped extra bit of water, or you can (somehow) locate a frozen pond ...
A recent-ish article in the Seattle Times on moving goats out of Olympic National Park covers the situation pretty well. From a helicopter, the goat is either (1) darted, or (2) directly caught i...
Depends how much you want to melt? Battery and a heater There are many options, but this is the first one I encountered. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-USB-Power-Suply-Office-Tea-Coffee-Cup-...
In this specific instance I would follow the deepest (most damaged) trail because it is unlikely to regrow. That gives the other trails a chance to recover. If the choice is between multiple very ...
Depending on a couple factors such as ingenuity and whether or not you are considering the land needed to hunt game to be included in the total land area needed, i think it could easily be done on ...
The water temperature, which used to get as warm as 80 degrees F, is now icy-cold all year and averages around 42 degrees F And hey, what do you know, refrigerators are often set at 42F... S...
The overall efficiency from a power bank to a smartphone battery is about 2/3, according to this source: https://www.powerbankguide.com/powerbank-capacity-explained/ The amount of energy a batte...
