In addition to the other excellent answers, it's worth noting that many belay glasses have a slight (~1.25x) magnification effect, which sometimes makes it easier to work out small details on the r...
Yes, it can as what you would do is use heat to turn the salt water to steam and then collect the steam and turn it back into liquid water. It works on the same principle as a regular distiller, a...
I doubt it's possible to get a sensible answer with realistic equipment, as removing evaporation will make you sweat more. So weighing your clothes while tightly sealed would give an overestimate. ...
You basically have it, the formula is Your Weight at start - Your Weight at end + Weight of water consumed - Weight of water urinated --------------------------- = Water lost via sweat Then yo...
The domestic cat and the bobcat look completely different, so it would be fairly easy to distinguish them. The bobbed tail cannot be relied on by itself, as there is a domestic breed of cat called ...
Grey squirrels make a surprising range of sounds, including quite a loud one sometimes called barking, but repetitive and rather like a cackling at times. This video collects a few of them; you mig...
I grew up in that neck of the woods and have camped in the Kettle Moraine many times. The area you indicated gets very little use, as you go a little further North closer to Mauthe Lake and Long La...
In the outdoors, the way to deal with cold is not to heat the environment, but to insulate yourself. You say "snow line", so it appears you aren't asking about anything particularly cold. Just ge...
We do this all the time. It's fine. Just leave the bottom open. It will help them feel more secure and safe especially if they sleep in the same bed at home sometimes. There are no risks, and no ...
I'd probably wonder about the quality of sleep they will get. This depends a lot on the sleeping bag itself, how warm it is, if it comes with a zip, what the outer temperature is, etc., but also, o...
Not a bad idea. I happen to have a 5 and 3 year old. I can think of reasons for not letting them sleep in the same sleeping bag, but none of them are because it wouldn't work in theory. If your tw...
Consider splitting the kit. Put dressings, scissors, hemostat, tape ... in one for non perishables. I like using a fishing tackle box. Athletic tape, antiseptic powder, saline solution, and ba...
TL;DR: Yes it is. Send Samick an e-mail (here for the US) and explain your problem (with pictures) to them. It is possible to repair this bow, but only by a professional. So either talk to the m...
You can also expand the list of accessible routes, and the distance traveled along them, by using a more capable wheelchair. Products such as the GRIT Freedom Chair while designed for outdoor recr...
Titanium doesn't rust (or at least, doesn't rust in the timeframe that this gear is typically used for) so this could be a good piece of kit for a surfer or diver. You could hang keys or a waterp...
If you're looking for anywhere that's a close drive away from the Twin Cities, I would recommend checking out some of the Dakota County and Three Rivers Distrct Parks. Lebannon Hills Regional Park ...
If you understand what you're doing and why, do what is safe. First of all (probably obvious): you should never fall on a via ferrata, so don't do anything risky. Second: even a 10m + lanyard fal...
Italy Wild camping in Italy is actually not directly regulated (the link is only in Italian, sorry). In general, if camping is not forbidden, then it is legal; laws concerning camping are usually ...
Ignoring the valid criticisms on the design of this particular unit, the chief virtue of titanium is the strength to weight ratio. In principle you can cut the weight by half or so compared to a s...
It happens fairly often, and usually the purpose is to reintroduce the animals to places where they used to be but were wiped out. This is know as species reintroduction/restablishment. Species...
The reason is simple: You are not supposed to fall on these climbs, in any case. Falls will in most cases be very bad indeed, no matter where you clipped in. Your security line is basically made so...
The first thing that comes to mind to me is Kilimanjaro. It's almost 6,000m and my evaluation of it would be class 2 (I haven't seen any proper rating of it) and that only on the final ascent, get...
The rule with Via Ferrata is to always have at least one point of safety clipped in at all times. Many people have fallen to their deaths while unclipped from their safety lines in order to pass an...
If it is more about hygiene/comfort when sleeping in huts and not about warmth, you could just go with a duvet/blanket cover. After all they are essentially shaped like very big bag - and coming in...
I have spend plenty an afternoon, sitting along the local shipping canal or one of the fishing ponds in the area, when I was a child. If I was lucky there was a three part cane fishing pole and if ...
