First the Ursack is advertised as bear resistant not bear proof, nothing is bear proof FAQ, have there been any failures? We have sold bags in 50 states, Canada and assorted foreign countr...
Sure looks like a high gloss sealant to me. Clean the rock up and apply a high gloss concrete/masonry sealant to the other side and I bet you get a match. Or take a wire brush to they shiny sid...
Sugar Maple trees are by far the most popular trees that people tap for sap. So I will use this as my example of how to tap a tree. The following is taken from: Common Sense Homesteading. Ident...
Not unless they did a really bad job. Shoe size starts with the sole. It would be really hard to even sew in an upper to a wrong sized sole. If you told the cobbler you want less width they could...
This is what the Western Mountaineering said: The Bison is a considerably narrower bag so even though it has less down/less insulation than the Cypress it has more loft. The design of th...
A raw fleece is the wool just shorn from a sheep. It's filled with grass and manure and possibly ticks, bugs, and worms, it smells bad and is greasy with lanolin. That's probably what you're look...
When comparing shafts made in the same thickness with the same level of finish and quality of production, carbon will be lighter and stronger compared to aluminium. That said, it is rarely the case...
Reading online, I have found that there is no hard and set rule for knowing when to tap, but in the second half of March you should check trees on a regular basis (every day or so) by doing the fol...
When preparing for skiing, I run 3km twice a week. I repeat the following program three times: 100 step ups 50 jumping jacks Hold plank for 1 minute Wall Sit for 1 minute 30 Crunches ...
I've actually driven up to a very large (more than 1 foot across) snapping turtle. While it may not be the answer you want, you simply don't. Things I've tried: This is based on actual experienc...
Several years ago, I helped two men move a large turtle about 1,000 feet to a stream. They had been driving by and saw the turtle on the road, and saw me in my driveway. I got a hand-truck and...
The best way would be to get a thick stick of suitable length and let the snapper bite it. He likely will be stubborn enough to hang on while you drag him where you want him to go. When he is ther...
Even though I have a relatively small car, I keep long handled snow brush like the one pictured below in my car all year round. The brush end can twist to make it more like a push broom. I've shooe...
I would use a shovel. Just pick it up gently and set him/her down on the other side.
Yes, you should definitely use a spray-on. Arcteryx themselves explicitly state not to use wash-in (product care information) and Gore-Tex does it implicitly by telling you to apply "to the garmen...
Altberg Leder-bok is the product for you, all their bootcare stuff is designed for modern leathers and materials.
Desert Varnish There's a Wikipedia article on it right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_varnish In a nutshell, Desert varnish (also known as rock varnish) is a dark, thin (usually 5 to ...
It looks like those the backpack comes in three sizes, Small, Medium and Large and what you are seeing is the volume for each size.
Contrary to some other answers here, you should be able to just pick it up from behind by the shell, though you need some considerable strength to do so for larger turtles. To see this being done ...
The section you've quoted does not say you can fish everywhere in your home county without a license. The exemption applies only when you are on your homestead (or your spouse's, kid's, etc.). No...
For the characteristics of the pads you selected, here is what I can say: Weight Crucial when backpacking. 1lbs 1oz (740g) is on the heavy side, but still doable. 2.5 lbs (1140g) is enormous. I...
I've done this once with a medium sized turtle - it was probably about 18+ inches in diameter, and I guess 40 or so pounds. I took a sweatshirt from the trunk, threw it over the turtle's rear end, ...
Personally I don't usually feel irritation on my grip hand from either the arrow or the fletchings. However I have felt the need to wear one occasionally when I've got that one odd handmade bow in ...
It turns out that repeatedly chambering a round should be avoided, not because of accuracy, but for safety reasons. When a bullet is repeatedly chambered, it can cause what is called set-back where...
First I use the trick of wringing out the excess water with a ultralight packable towel. Then I strap them to my ridge line in my hammock just above where my legs are. The heat coming off my body, ...
