BSO stands for Bicycle Shaped Object. Or department store bike. Bicycle people are not down on them for being cheap. They are down on them for low value. Even at $100 it is not a good value. C...
I have seen on TV ducklings being 'raised' by cats, Cuckoos being raised by small singing birds and people in zoos using birds of some breeds to brood eggs of other species. So if a swans egg happ...
Yes, it can happen. I took a trip to the Amazon during and after the time when the river rises and turns the rain forest into a lake. After the water reseeds, sea animals get stuck in pools in tree...
It sounds like you are talking about the practice of dashing off into the woods to sleep in secret wherever you happen to be while traveling. I have heard this called "wild camping" before. Not to ...
I would just place them in a ziplock bag and freeze them until you go fishing again. It's worth point out that people going fishing with frozen bait, and I doubt it would smell. The single mos...
There are proven ways using commercial bug-repellents sprays and lotions. I'd consider non-commercial, DIY ways using Eucalyptus. Eucalyptus oil: If you are carrying Eucalyptus oil, you can rub ...
In a stable population any breeding pair will, during the course of their lives, successfully raise two young who successfully breed themselves. Of course there's no such thing as a stable populat...
I don't think it works like you think it works. If you're trying to build your distance, you might do 8 miles one Saturday, then the next weekend do 8 on Saturday and 6 on Sunday. The next, 10 on S...
Based on the poor-quality of the photos (and my limited knowledge of Singapore insects) it would be very difficult to definitively ID this to species. However, based on the shape and size, you're ...
There are a lot of factors, but for the Appalachian Trail there are a lot of hikers so it can give us pretty good insight into the time it takes for the average thru hiker to reach maximum mileage ...
I found a solution! I have a Frost River Arrowhead Trail (roll top) canvas backpack that was posing the same sweaty problem when taking it on hikes. You can find several makers of beaded (wooden) ...
Back before frameless and internal frame backpacks, there was a time when external frame backpacks were all the rage. They are heavy, sometimes uncomfortable, and can break in spectacularly difficu...
Months not days. Walking is a sport. Like any sport, you need to train your sport-specific muscles over months before you start getting really serious. If not, instead of getting progressively str...
There is indeed data on mallard duckling survival, which in retrospect is not that surprising given the number of wildlife biologists and the interest of fish and game departments in the number of ...
There seems to be a lot of in-fighting between government agencies about who gets control over the Grand Canyon. For a long time, the National Park Service remained somewhat unenthusiastic abou...
Try calling animal control, the local Humane Society, or the SPCA. Depending on where you live, there may be a network of bird rehabilitation specialists who care for abandoned, sick, or injured b...
If you mean by powerbank something that weighs 200g and has a capacity of 20000mAh and by heat more than a candle worth of warmth, then the answer is no. A 20000mAh powerbank, which is a pretty big...
I did not realize a powerbank was a phone charger. Even a car battery at 6 amps (that would last like 8 hours) is about 70 watts. A person puts off about 100 watts. Even a car battery would ...
Safety glasses would presumably meet some safety standard, for example impact resistance, and the standard so meet would be cited. Shooting glasses might offer some impact resistance (or other pr...
A few tricks in no particular order: Long sleeves and wearable netting for your face Tiger Balm behind your ears (smell keeps bugs away from your face) Bug spray on your clothing (around your col...
I live and play in Florida, and I feel you. First, don't be afraid of insect repellant. It's not a total solution but it can really help. Coat your clothes in it, then spray a little on your self....
The barrier method is the only method that is 100% effective...and then only when used properly. Long pants tucked into high socks. Gloves (light weight, you get used to them faster than you would...
Repellants containing DEET are the most effective and the only method I've been happy with. It is a harsh chemical but does NOT need to go on your skin. Spray 95%-100% DEET on the top and bottom ...
You don't say what you're wearing. The best solution can be covering yourself with light-colored lightweight breathable clothing. You might be reluctant to cover up on a hot day, but with the right...
Use a hat with an insect mesh covering which covers your head and neck right down to the chest and same around the back so you don't have to spray a repellent on your face. bush hat with netting
