There could be one who is quiet or ill at ease within a group. The group should be mature enough to not tease or make fun of one who seems ill at ease in a group setting or even more quiet or is si...
In the bush. You set very still at about 50 meter. Watch. Do the monkeys eat them? If so safe to eat. You can also walk up look & see if the monkeys have been into them. A good sign.
To know when it's going to get dark! Losing track of time is great unless you're in the wilderness, unclear of your location, and the sun goes down. It's one thing planning on walking in the dar...
I'd argue that a watch is a fairly important device for backpacking and I generally never leave without one. Monitor progress If you do multi-day hikes you generally have a plan or schedule you s...
Things to consider when purchasing a tent: Where exactly do you want to use the tent? On which altitudes? On which terrain? Sometimes you need special tent pegs like on snow or it's even not pos...
It looks like a combination of checking out a potential predator and following a leader. Turkeys, he says, are naturally fearful of cats, which can be a threat to younger, smaller birds. So it’...
It's a unique serial number for the boat. The HIN is a 12 character serial number that uniquely identifies your boat. Source The acronym stands for Hull Identification Number. It is possibl...
It looks like the answer is that it depends on the direction, wind speed, terrain and type of chairlift. The ski area you are going to might keep statistics on how often the wind makes the use of c...
While doing the West Coast Trail in Vancouver, Canada I had to buy a watch for the first time. I had a table with the tides for that week and I needed the watch to tell if high tide was going to ...
To enforce time constraints on activities: I'll walk until 1 pm, have lunch, and then continue until 4 I'll fish until 10 I'll take a half hour rest until I need to start again While you're...
You and I would probably get a long very well. I ski downhill exclusively in the back country, and whenever I put my XC skis on I'm typically also wearing my skijor harness and getting pulled aroun...
It looks like it can be harmful for the turtles. Even the healthiest turtle may come out of hibernation too soon and be caught above ground by a spring snowstorm and perish. Many wild box turtl...
Start with making a better list of skills to learn. Identifying edible foods is nowhere near skill #1. I occasionally pick berries, and even more rarely catch and eat a fish, but you can have decad...
I would not have guessed you could deplete O₂ or saturate CO₂ but evidence that you can. You compared to a tent. A typical backpacking / climbing tent design is different. The walls and ceiling a...
Tidal causeways You need to know the time, the time of the tide and the range of times when you can safely cross.
Two possibilities: There's something it thinks is food on the inside. Note that blue tits are quite clever at accessing food, to the extent of opening foil-topped milk-bottles (though the linked...
These are some methods we use within the Hungarian Scout Organization - some may be a bit outdated from past times when communication was not so easy :) but still, these methods are non-intrusive a...
In the group there should be one leader. This is the most experienced person. This person responsible for the route planning, amount of food required also this person checks equipment and cloth re...
Do I need to use a trailer made to measure, or can I use any trailer that can carry any boat of a specific category within its range of specs (keel type, weight, and dimensions)? You don't...
You freeze. You look at the snake. Do not wave your arms or make sudden movement. If the snake don't move away from you. Look behind you & slowly back off. Do not stumble or fall. Find a saf...
It depends on what kind of a watch we are referring to. I typically rely on cellphones only for GPS/Tracks if at all I am tracking a route, otherwise my cellphone is on flight and used just for tak...
I've cleaned blueberries on a windy day by gently pouring from one container to another, letting the wind "winnow" the debris. The berries must be dry, i.e. not washed, undamaged/squished. It works...
I think the most important thing is that you set expectations prior to the trip. Everyone should be on the same page about the planned route, schedule, meals, etc. Of course, planning is different ...
It turns out that raw eggs need to be either sealed or rotated, the people in the video were doing both. The egg shell is semi-permeable. As an egg ages, it loses the slightest amount of inter...
First Aid/Emergency Scenarios This was mentioned in Wigwam's answer, but an emergency or first responder situation could easily bump a watch up into the "Required" category. While these (hopefully...
