yes, it is possible, at least for the Alabama curriculum it is. Alabama doesn't require the course, but other states do and you can take it online. The course specifically talks about recurves an...
If in the past a fairly large tree had been cut there, the stump, if left high enough to sprout could feasibly have a group that could grow to that size Because it doesn't appear to be from lightni...
This very much depends on what country you're in. The majority of footpaths in the UK are public rights of way. These are simply the routes people have travelled since time immemorial, the route ...

There are many reasons a trail takes the particular path it does. Probably the most common is historical, as you mention. Probably the least common is deliberate design. Most trails have evolved...
A trail closed sign on a post or tree.
The TL;DR answer: Yes. You can always kill in self defense if your life is in serious danger* from the animal or even person you're shooting, e.g. if you have good reason to believe they are tryin...
Water tight is subject to lots of variable. As you mention just staying out of the water is the least risk. There are Waterproof Transparent Dressings, a good example is Nexcare™ Tegaderm™ Waterpr...
Like the answer from Paul, I scrubbed all messy parts with alcohol using a strong but nylon (or so) brush. It does come off quite ok then. After I impregnated it with a nikwash product. I do love m...
Kind of like the key keeper on the swim trunks. Some young girls make a cord like that that goes around your ankle to sell at S. Pacific beach's. They seem to work. Elastic cord.
I use 3mm utility cord around my neck. I tie in key with a Girth Hitch. Or tie the key into the necklace. I use a double fisherman on the cord.
If your trunks don't have a designated key pouch or you're a female you can tie your keys to the draw string inside your trunks or bikini top. If you have a key fob on your keychain leave it in you...
Lots of swim/board shorts come with key keepers in the pockets. Chances are you may even have one in the swimwear you own. It's simply a length of elastic cord stitched into your pocket. If you don...
An answer from the paddle board side. I've seen paddle boards up to 400lb among the casually available, generally among the longer (and wider) of the selections, like 12-14 feet or more. With som...
You should always look to guide the climber to the crash pads (mats) and try to let them land on their feet only if possible rather than catching them. But when it comes to it being high, you shoul...
Sound reflected by concave surfaces will concentrate in a narrow area rather like light passing through a convex lens. You were probably at one of the focal points for the sound being reflected in ...

Ask ten people "what is the correct thing to do in a lightning storm" and you'll get fifteen asserted answers. Lightning can travel eight miles through the ground and shut off your heart (you can...
You failed to specify whether the rope was installed in the gym or you brought your own (and presumably led the pitch) and whether this gym allows leading routes with the installed ropes. If this ...
Rope stretch is definitely a factor, but something I always do when I am unsure is I sit on the rope before climbing. What I mean is to have the belayer take in any loose rope, and then let your bo...
Not aiming to repeat what Separatrix has said; So assuming he's going to be hitting the floor just because of the stretch, you want to minimise slack. To do this, firstly you want to see if there'...
"Get out as fast as possible" doesn't make sense considering you are "hours or days" from a trailhead. If the allergic reaction is going to kill you, like swelling up your throat to the point you ...
You did slow his fall. Assume 15 meters of rope to the top then 12 meters back to him for a total of 27 meters. Stretch = 3/27 = 1/9. So just over 10%. And that assumes no slack in the line. ...
