There are two studies I could find on this, Conclusion The Sawyer Extractor pump removed bloody fluid from our simulated snakebite wounds but removed virtually no mock venom, which sugges...
Since you are looking for one shoe to do it all choose harder soles over softer soles. I've tried soft to medium soles on medium to very rough trails and my feet took a beating. The harder soles ...
That depends on what sort of walking you're doing and what your personal preferences are. The great advantage of a very stiff sole is on very rough ground, jagged rocks etc. Walking on such surfac...
I'm not 100%, but I am going to call that a yellow striped armyworm, Spodoptera ornithogalli. These things seem to be widely distributed and very common; I've seen them frequently in my travels bu...
I revisited this question while tracking down something else. (I'm not sure how I got here when I was looking at your recent caterpillar question, but mysterious are the ways of the moving finger ...
Has this happened sure, Traps have been set out after an elderly woman was walking her small, mixed-breed dog on a leash around 10 a.m. on Saturday on Avenida Majorca and a coyote began attacki...
I live in the UK and the first time I noticed Robin's nesting was in the top of a down pipe. Unfortunately the heavens opened and we had flash floods. The water filled up and the 6 babies died desp...
Use it to make vegetable lasagna. I'm right now combining the leaves and flowers (from my garden) with sorrel (also from my garden), and spinach, with seasoned ricotta and extra garlic. Wilt and ch...
Do not put ice on scorpion bites! Just cold compress...that is direct from Poison control. Fyi I have used the inner fillet of prickly pear cactus pad twice on bark scorpion stings... it works ver...
In addition to what the others already said, I'd like to say that there are some considerations that go beyond saying a sole is stiff. Stiff soles under the toes help with climbing. Such sole des...
I think it's worth focusing on the specifics of your actions here, as gleaned from your Facebook post. Apparently you went swimming in cold water, then entered a sauna, and the following happened: ...
Post eye tiable means that the rope is passed through the eye or harness before any any part of the knot is tied. This is in contrast to a rethreaded figure of eight which has to be partially tied...
Just because it's customary to jump in a cold lake straight after getting out of a sauna doesn't make it a good idea if you're not used to it (or even if you are). Wild swimmers are more cautious a...
In the first instance, the simple #1010 Bowline (as shown by the OP) - is not and never was intended for climbing. Its sort of like asking; "Is a Lamborghini sports car suitable to drive off road i...
Short answer = 'Yes' - it does make a difference. Long answer: If you are going to select and use a particular ti-in knot for life critical applications, you should select a fixed eye knot that is...
Assuming that you are looking for the ideal conditions for a surfable wave to form, I will leave some of the conditions that I take in consideration Wind Direction. The wind direction is essenti...
Super Glue... Instead of cutting the flap of skin off, glue it back down with super glue. There is a plethora of blog posts about it. There are specific formulias for medical usage For yo...
I used a Garmin InReach Mini for a 19 day trip down the Grand Canyon this past January. I checked in once a day to say "I'm ok" like you had planned to. I recharged mine about 14 days in since the ...
Strictly speaking, the system you propose (fix each strand of the rope to one anchor, rappel with the same device) is not fully redundant as you still have the device, carabiner and your harness as...
These are not blueberry - the leaves would be smooth and the fruits would be covered in a pale whiteish wax bloom. Although they do look very similar to blueberry in the washed fruit form as you mi...
I used to tell my children not to throw rocks in the ocean because eventually the ocean would get full and the earth would flood. Fortunately, they soon recognized that I was simply making a joke a...
The leaves and berries look like a blueberry, probably a highbush blueberry from your description. If that's the case, they are edible. I'm not familiar enough with Colorado vegetation to know if t...
While I'm not sure, something that popped in my head is that it looks like it could be an early avalanche airbag system. See this history of airbags page for a picture of (one of) the first system ...
I have found an answer that seems counter-intuitive: add even more light. You can make the spot even brighter, larger, and hotter by catching more light with a larger magnifier. This sounds like th...
TL;DR You should be fine, assuming your daughter is reasonably capable (dealing with the weight of a multi-day overnight pack) and/or you are capable to carry enough extra to make up for what she...
