I worked with a girls high school for a while. We used standard Serratus packs. As another answer pointed out, the critical dimension is the distance from the shoulder to the hip bones. Girls at...
Look for a pack where the ice axe is on the side of the back. Strapping snowshoes to the back of a pack is fairly trivial: usually I rig a loop at the bottom of the pack about 4" in diameter. Ru...
Not a very specific answer but I can share that I've noticed friends who are big on (fly) fishing purchasing direct-from-maker for high end or specialized equipment, whether domestically or interna...
It has been a while since I actually did fishing on a beach, but when I do, it is always with someone. We usually get there early enough so we can get some bait for fishing (sea worms from under t...
I recently witnessed something I’ve never seen before, so I asked the same question, and my search brought me here. I live in Minnesota, and we have a medium size pond at the back of our property t...
Wash the eyelets with soap and water (tooth brush) follow with a solution of TSP. (tri-sodium phosphate) Let dry. Apply zinc chromate primer with small brush or Q-tip (cotton swap on a stick) ...
Backaches are part of life with backpacking until you have a pile of experience. Causes Compression. You are carrying more load than you are used too. This squeezes your vertebrae together. T...
Milam glacier falls under the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve limits. In case you want to enter a national park limits, you will need a permit from the forest department. Additionally, since parts of ...
I did this trek in 2012 on a guided tour organized by IndiaHikes. There was a large flood in 2013 in Uttarakhand which, from what I've heard, affected the trek significantly and made it harder. As...
When we dive here in Florida, we often want to know which direction the current is going. The track of your boat doesn’t help much because it is caused by a combination of wind and current. To i...
Been there, done that, it's far more worrisome when you have to show them how to put the harness on and then have them test that it's tight enough. And like you said, you really don't want to touch...
It would take more time but when they are dry at the top have them remove the harness on their own for practice. Tell them when they get to the bottom they should remove the harness when given the ...
A quick search found this on a vet site: Picaridin is another common active ingredient in insect repellents made for people. Though it appears to have a wide margin of safety when used on ...
Treat them respectfully, but there's no reason to be afraid of them. Excerpt from http://www.kayakguide.com/Kayk-Alligators.htm I Feel Safer Paddling by Alligators than Driving Doing most...
From a male friend I heard that a wrongly designed or wrongly adjusted harness did hurt his private parts when it came under stress the first time. In this case not permanent because he was wise en...
The easy way to think of this is that tracks left in concrete sidewalks are true tracks while pouring plaster of paris into animals tracks left in mud would results in a cast. Sometimes the dinosa...
Hockey players have the same problem and will use specialized products, but many find rubbing the lens (inside and out) with shampoo works just as well and is much less expensive.
It is not really about instructing people how to take the harness off, but rather about respecting the personal space of clients. I suggest having an instructor demonstrate the steps to take off th...
The simple answer is that yes it does make sense to ration, see the stories of the men who survived the Essex or the Mutiny on the Bounty or the Chilean Miners or many countries during wartime. Fr...
There are several reasons why I think rationing is useful. Morale - If you eat all your food on the first day you won't have anything to look forward to. If you eat a little bit twice a day you c...
I don't have anything to add for the specific requirement of removing ones harness, the live-demonstration/mirroring recommendations in other answers should do just fine. I want to address a slight...
Aside from the previously mentioned micronutrients, your body doesn’t really store protein in any significant way, so in order to ‘repair’ your body you need a relatively constant stream of protein...
What I've always understood to be the rationale, and doesn't seem to be directly addressed with the other answers, is that the human body adjusts its metabolism to its resources. If you gorge on al...
Are there resources for identifying dinosaur tracks? No; Dinosaur tracks are called trace fossils Trace fossils are classified in various ways for different purposes. Traces can be classi...
If you want one point and multiple things to connect to it, then what you do is create a master point with rope or cordellete and attach your carabiners to it. Usually the master point is a a over...
