This is a function of latitude and season. Apart from that, it depends on local landscape, weather, and your own eyes. On a rainy day in a dense forest, it may already be quite dark at sunset. O...
Take it to a knife smith. They have specialized equipment, experience, and knowledge. They'll be able to put an appropriate grind back on it and address any other issues.
According to the owners manual here, it says to Always clean your sharpener after use. Clean with damp cloth or mild brush. Do not rinse with water. Store in a drawer or cabinet. Since yo...
Disassembly is the easy part. Drill out the rivets. Reassembly will be a big problem.
With laces untied you're more prone to slipping around in your shoes thus increasing your chances of getting blisters. Also (from own experience with using low shows untied) those shoes wear down ...
The greatest risk with unlaced shoes or boots is that a lace will slip out of the shoes or boots and you will trip on a lace dangling on the ground. I often go around with unlaced tennis shoes (...
Yes, you could if you can get the multitool apart, although it won't be the easiest thing in the world. and it won't be as stable as a traditional arrow head or spear point. Basically, you want a ...
There is a very simple way to relieve the itching for a while. Press firmly on the bite with your fingers or thumb for 20-30 seconds. The pressure causes the body to release endorphins that will ...
The cheap and simple solution to this is 5 lbs of peanut butter i.e. two normal sized Jiff containers and a spoon ducktaped to the containers for approximately 12,000 + calories. If unopened, they...
Two suggestions. You can get fingerless gloves that also are mittens. Here's a child version so you can see how they work: Second, you can try to get a touchscreen that works with gloves. For ex...
I've been using Petzl Spiky Plus for four seasons. I like that they are mostly soft rubber and can easily be put in a small backpack pocket. They only have six microspikes per foot but they grip r...
