Because it works I guess. Evolution favours the behaviours that leads to survivability. If the birds that slept on the ground survives less than the one on the pound, it will lead to more and more ...
I have not seen this protracted to the scale of weeks. This is a common effect in my experience, but I've never seen an effect beyond a few days. I used to do dog sled expeditions in the Rockie...
I think that it is easier to keep access, than to get it back, so I will start with that. Always follow Leave No Trace and make certain that your activities do not create any eyesores. Volunteer ...
As an individual, probably very little can be done, but what little you can do is essential. Ensure yourself and anyone you climb with obeys rules and climbs safely, and most importantly, is seen t...
Access to climbing areas is an ongoing issue in many climbing areas. In the United States for example, it is claimed that 1 in 5 climbing areas is threatened by an access issue. There are many fund...
Red has been covered already, and it really is the most practical colour to have with you at night, as it is the only one that doesn't impact your night vision significantly. The others, though, a...
The most important aspect is the level of training. The human body is extremely good in adapting to carrying weight. You easily find two guys who are the same height and can walk the same distances...
With SSS, the rope is also unlocked (hand in air) in recover phase. i.e. in SSS, the only time lock is applied is when the climber needs it, unlocked rope is the 'normal' state. In PBCS, an locked ...
Here are the steps on the the clip and slide / slip-slap-slide method. First here is how you should hold the rope when you are not pulling in slack. To pull in rope, the left hand pulls the rop...
I think the main reason for this is that the hunting styles are a lot different between the two. Archery hunters often don't wear orange and get very close to the their prey while gun hunters wear ...
Once you learned to appreciate the Mountain, the best way to give back (in my opinion) is to teach others how to behave in nature. This would spread the knowledge you gathered through the years, de...
My experience relates to Common Dolphin, but likely applies to dolphins of other species, too. Although dolphin may be seen at any time, you are most likely to see them in proximity to food. So i...
As a regular machete user, I don't know if it is correct in the sense of it being used all over the world, but for me, I take a page out of my Western and Japanese fencing background and use it mor...
You didn't mention your intended use - so lets go with it; Hunting; - longer season - potential access to different game - when you shoot it, you don't scare off every animal within ear shot ...
Example of both Note in the high background, that is a waterfall. In the foreground is the cascade. One part fills before the other does. The picture below shows a cascade. Key difference b...
Canvass is: More expensive Heavier Easier to repair Easier to waterproof More rugged Once it gets mildewed, it's done forever Nylon is: Cheaper Lighter Harder to repair Harder to waterproof L...
When we go backpacking, we first gather to discuss the logistics, and part of that is meals. Each person knows what they like, I write them all down and order them online or head over to the campi...
Having lived in various regions with cold winters, I also tend to suffer from dehydrated skin. I tried a whole range of moisturizers, from mainstream nivea skin care and equivalent, to a range of ...
There is probably no perfect answer to your question as different studies will indicate some amount of variation. However it seems that black bear cubs which are usually born in January and general...
There is a whole industry of commercial rope access for maintenance etc and the techniques used are related but not identical to recreational climbing and mountaineering. There are also a few indiv...
This might appear as an old-school tri-stated (hence, not convincing enough) answer in a perfect binary world. Well, I have been around snakes for quite some time. To be honest haven't really trie...
One way to give back is to be actively involved in reclamation projects. Growing up I was actively involved in scouting, and every year we participated in a fund raising program known as Trees for ...
Can you absolutely rule out rain? If not, you need some sort of shelter, even if just a plastic tarp. And some warm clothes. Rainy, no tent, temps near freezing (even significantly above freezi...
Turnaround time will be driven by the time you want to be back to your origin/campsite. You will also need an idea how long the walk itself is going to take. That's quite important and more precise...
Because there are so many different migratory birds, each with their own unique pattern, this is a rather broad question. The answer, therefore, will be based on the general study of migration, rat...
