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...
No. The butane will vaporize below the boiling point, just as water vaporizes below 100°C.
The advantage of the "one way"/piercable canisters is that they are way cheaper (up to four times with respect to price per mass of gas according to German Wikipedia). Also they are "good enough" f...
In UK I have only ever used the simple type. The female part of the screw thread is on the shroud which clamps around the gas cartridge, and the appliance screws into that, instead of the canister....
It looks like it will depend on the beach, some beaches have restrictions on where you can launch, some don't and some do not allow kayaks or paddles sports. It would probably be easiest to ask th...
You seem to have worked out many of the important principles that are needed for a system like this. The most authoritative source that I know of is Petzl's articles on top-rope soloing. The do...
No. There is a safety system in the newer C206 canisters that should prevent you from emptying a pierced can, unintentionally or not. It remains to be found if this works at low temperature and pre...
With pictures posted, it looks like it is the African tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata). The decisive features were the long pod with the pores. Similar (but not as strongly heart-shaped) seeds ar...
I've used foam mattress toppers before. So they can absolutely work well but there's a few things to keep in mind. Thickness - 4" is OK and would probably be great for a back sleeper on grass. Ho...
It looks like the answer is to clean them out at least once a year, once the breeding season is over and before winter, which would be around the end of August in the northern hemisphere (or the en...
It's a normal occurrence in the spring for fledglings to leave the nest. Wildlife rehab centers also commonly get calls regarding people finding baby birds in the spring. Unlike nestlings (whi...
If you look for the manufacturer's promises for these "passive" boxes (there is absolutely no cooling, just the attempt to keep the cool in - called isolation), they usually state something around...
