During my years in school my mum always reused ordinary water bottles to give me and my brother. Never had any issues with them breaking or something similar. But after some time they'd get somewha...
The point of the switchblade is how fast you can open it without needing any particular skill or practice. If you were that kid with a butterfly knife then the difference is negligible, but for any...
Switchblades with the button-activating blade are just easier to open with one hand and require very little in the way of distracting thought. This means that you can concentrate more on what your...
The all time best for my money has been the 12oz Heineken Keg Can. If cut correctly, the parts are much easier to slide together securely. Unfortunately, these cans can be pretty difficult to get a...
Unfortunately, for us as normal, everyday people there is no really good way to tell how dangerous a swarm is. As Kate Gregory, has mentioned, usually a swarm is the most docile a bunch of bees a...
While not a traditional penny stove, I built Tetkoba's Capillary Hoop Stove out of 3 cans of Red Bull like he did. It took a lot of force to push the hoop inside the main body, but it never split. ...
Whether an 8 lb tent makes sense depends on a couple of things, If you are the only one using it then no, if you can split the weight between 4 people probably yes. Whether for your budget you ca...
[Edit]I believe Pharap's comment is correct. Also, magnesium would not be used for the striker. There are some firestarter kits that supply a magnesium compound to be used as fuel. [original rep...
No, that is way too heavy (and large for 2 Scouts). You would be better off just using what Philmont offers, which are about 6 pounds the last I knew. Call and verify availability. You would be ev...
Put her in the back so you can fish! Let her be the control freak. My hubs loves it, he gets first cast!! Best of luck!
Been there done that, I would just wrap a smaller width piece of climber's tape around the finger and then take extra care to smooth the end down as usually, that's where it starts to come unravele...
I have found that the best way to handle calluses ripping off is prevention. Once one rips off, it is often painful to climb on even if you tape it properly. If you do need to tape, wrap tightly ...
All it takes is one of the birds to notice and give the alarm and then the other birds join in. Even the chipmunks and squirrels will listen to the birds and then pass the message along. Birds'...
The "special equipment" needed for Nitrox most likely refers to the M26 tank valve fitting, which in certain European countries replaces the classic 5/8" DIN valve for cylinders that are for use wi...
There are two possibilities. As Olin Lathrop states it's a grindstone, and would be used to sharpen, or "file" things. It that's the case, then you would not use it to start a fire. It's part of...
It looks like a grindstone. The two halves would be different fineness. Your friend probably had this in his cooking kit to sharpen knives. This doesn't look like it has anything to do with star...
Just wanted to second the comments above about keeping your gear dry. If it’s within your budget, good-quality drybags will be good for this and all future adventures. But extra-large ziplock bag...

Ultralight and to sleep without feeling cold are inconsistent. Ultralight mean to be as light as possible with sacrificing comfort. If you want to be comfortable then go with the comfort rati...
Other answers are right about reasons to choose or not to choose bigger footwear. However, if you already know what kind and number of socks are you going to use with your new boots, I recommend tr...
I've just got back from the French Alps and while I was in a camper van, the others were in tents. There are a few things to consider: Will the sun light/heat wake you in the morning? This is a f...
Most people on vacation spend their afternoons and evenings outside their tent, going to sleep after dark, but they get up when it's already light. So evening shade doesn't really matter, but morni...
TLDR: They will kill unrelated kittens, and may not be able to tell the difference. Females usually do not allow the male to approach the kittens as he may kill them because he does not recog...
Malaysia has 781 species of birds, but most are not feeder-oriented, which would explain why people don't put up many feeders in your area. There are some, though, and they've probably seen feeders...
After finally purchasing a lighter trigger (3-4 lbs), I can say that yes, it does help one be more accurate. It's much easier when you don't have to pull as hard, and the cleaner break makes it it...
