It can depend on the person but it is something that is suggested fairly often,, Many people prefer hiking boots that are a half or full size larger than their normal shoe size. This helps acco...
If you have some dry-bags handy, seal them up full of air and check how differently they fit in each bag respectively. It won't give you an exact measure, but it should be a good enough (and easy e...
I'll say full boot (more comfortable, and you don't need to buy booties), open toe (for water and sand to drain), solid (more sturdy against accidental strikes), and on the shorter end of the model...
Apart from the water, you could also have an area with dry sand/pebbles for dirt baths. Birds do like them (I see them do it often where I live), and it's an actually effective "washing method". If...
I use my shop vac to get most of the moisture out of my bcd. I attach the hose to the exhaust outlet on the shop vac, remove the lower dump valve and the inflator hose from the bcd, and hold the sh...
I would just spray them with Lysol disinfectant spray. That should take the care of both the smell and kill the fungus. This is the quick and simple solution. You are right that most people don't ...
We just had a rabid raccoon killed that was stumbling around in the day, by a Fish and Game warden yesterday. Importantly, he told us, remember that the animal's blood that spills on the ground als...
I can't say with certainty about which would be better, but I can speak for the survivability of spending a night in a tent at nearly -30°C(acutally -20°F/-28°C). As a boy scout, my troop and I onc...
You might be able to use an alpine butterfly knot, they can be tied in the bight and are very stable: https://www.flyfishing.co.uk/general-fly-fishing-discussion/254018-alpine-butterfly-knot-dropp...
I've used a standard Palomar knot before. Pass a loop through the eye of the hook. Tie the loop into a standard overhand knot. Pass the hook through the loop. Tighten the loop and knot. There'...
The car, mostly because you can use the heater. You will want to make sure that the exhaust is clear to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning and only run it for a short periods at a time. This also help...
I live in Siberia. First, clean roads in winter are used by traffic. Minor ground tracks get covered by snow and impossible to use in first weeks of winter. If you're driving down a highway in win...
These are mining claim markers that mark the edges of the claim. The ones in the picture are legal, because the tops are capped. If the tops were not capped, it would be legal to pull them out and ...
First you take the bight and bring the end down. Then you take the end and cross it over. Then bring it back around underneath the main strand. Finally take the end through the top loop. ...
The answer is that it depends on the moisture held in the air moist air changes at a rate of 3° Fahrenheit per 1000 ft of vertical / 0.6° Celsius per 100m. dry air changes at a rate of 5.4° Fahr...
When I started bouldering hard I would crimp and pinch everything: open doors by pinching the knobs with you finger tips; pick up things by crimping them on the edges (even if you can get a full op...
The main idea to muscle up your arms and strengthen your wrists and fingers is to make things harder when you carry things: Carry more, with one hand instead of two. Use less fingers (as you poin...
The best defense against ticks are your clothes. Ticks hang out on the ends of branches and blades of grass with their arms in he air waiting to hook onto anything that has blood to pass by. After ...
I hang my shoes on the outside of my bag. I've found that containing them in a airtight bag and then drying them "later" leads to them being sealed in an anaerobic environment, especially if they a...
People here are posting horror stories about being 30km from nearest habitation (this is walkable distance). If you're in Siberia, you're likely to be 300km from nearest habitation on a road with t...
Interesting comments. I happened upon this site while investigating a Willans harness I saw on a Jay Leno car. Nope. It is not the same company. I used a Whillans sit harness thoughout my clim...
The question here is not if you will be able to climb the mount or not. You will climb it for sure. The question is how comfortable the climbing will be? Will you be able to see a beauty of the mou...
Unless the car can provide heat (either engine or independent heater), tent is a better choice - car is not designed to keep the heat inside; tent is. Car is mostly metal and glass, both poor insu...
Cotton when wet can get quite cold which in turn will make you very cold or get hypothermia. Denim in my experience holds a lot of water which, like cotton, will get cold and may give you hypotherm...
