Having learnt this years ago, I can thoroughly recommend that when you're in a suitable spot with a group you practise. The rest of the group can observe your form, keep an eye out for hazards an...
I get the stated question is generate power But if you are just looking for power a battery is very weight effective. One AA battery is only 0.8 ounce. A pair (1.6 oz) on low power will last ...
There are a lot of different types of bears. Protecting a llama from a giant panda should be quite easy as you are unlikely to see one in the wild and their diet is almost entirely bamboo. If you a...
If I'm understanding your question, you're asking if using trekking poles will result in poorer conditioning compared to walking without poles. There is good research evidence that using poles wil...
Interesting topic. For what it's worth (lots of interesting comments above already): If I am winter camping, I'll usually boil all or most of my water for the next day in the evening (so I don't ...
I think this could make a good community wiki. A few things not mentioned (unless I missed) more specifically for sleeping: Make sure you're hydrated. Sounds dumb because it's cold and you don'...
Generally speaking wildlife should not be harassed by humans, but left alone. Bites can infect you with unwanted bacteria and require stitches in a hospital. Large animals should always be left al...
Kangaroos can be very dangerous to men. It's never a good idea to approach them and we should always exercise caution when in the vicinity. However, they don't go looking for people to attack. Th...
The original meaning was the weight of the water displaced by the hull, but typically the hull weight is used to mean just the weight of the hull - minus fittings etc. Hopefully that helps solve...
Potentially, very dangerous. Kangaroos can be big (largest confirmed stood 2.1 m (6'10") tall and weighed 91 kg (201 lb)!), they're strong, they have killer claws that they will use to try and gou...
Your question was about deer hunting in Pennsylvania and Oregon where the majority of the deer are whitetail deer and mule deer, respectively. My answer applies to both, generally. There are many o...
One of the major questions asked on the many camino de santiago fora and groups are on shoes. And the answers are usually subjective. One or the other isn't usually better but often more liked by o...
Having grown up on a farm in Western Australia which is inhabited with kangaroos I have never thought of kangaroos as a danger to humans. In my experience kangaroos are afraid of humans (unless ra...
The density (weight) affects ballistics. Less dense shot will slow down at a faster rate. Lead is a relatively cheap high density metal but is has negative health consequences. Tungsten is ...
There was a kickstarter for shoe soles that can charge a battery. The company is called SolePower. They ran a Kickstarter and were successful. I have not followed the company myself, but they do...
Is it practical to replace the sole of these shoes and if so, will I need to get a cobbler involved or can it be done at home? Yes, resoling boots is practical and cost effective way to repa...
That's exactly what it is, a top cap or knot protector is simply there to help protect your knot on the swivel from getting abraded against the rock while you're up-hauling: Source Source
In most ways, it looks like porcupine to me. The scratch marks going perpendicular to the tree trunk make it less likely to be bear, deer, or elk. Bear will strip a tree like this if it is rotten...
It is called fog, and you are standing higher then it is thick. Clouds can form at many different altitudes. They can be as high as 12 miles above sea level or as low as the ground. Fog is a ki...
That phenonmon is called a cloud inversion. It happens in mountainous areas when a layer of warm moist air passes over cold valley floor. So initially the valley is full of cold air: \ ...
Maybe the mountain is just very tall. Haleakalā has a sunrise tour where you can see that every day.
For a one-handed knot that doesn't require relacing, try the one-handed variant of the "Ian Knot" from Ian's shoelace site. The result is identical to a standard shoelace knot, though I suspect it ...
Rock flour does not seem to be much of an impediment for fish living in rock flour alpine lakes. Lake Louise for example is known as the Lake of the Little Fishes: Lake Louise, named Lake of t...
Glued is the least serviceable sole. A goodyear welting is designed to be resoled. Many glued soles can be replaced. On that sole I don't even think it can be bought from Vibram because of t...
According to this web page the best time of year is, Chatham Fish Pier -- Chatham's fish pier is the place to be when local fishermen unload their catch of the day. See the hilarious show as re...
