No. They can be on the vast majority of each trail, but in most cases the land agencies along the way still have their own rules, and many National Parks (and some state parks) forbid pets on trail...
Breathing technique is bar far the most important. Remember to keep your airways open at all times during descent and ascent, but most importantly during ascent. During normal dives you want to kee...
When they are tight enough to prevent movement within the shoe/boot but not so tight that it causes discomfort. A little too loose is actually worse than a lot too loose. A little too loose will g...
Ah, the Biomechanics of Locomotion! This is how I think of it. Muscles play an important role. They contract, expand when you need them too. Have you ever worked out? In early days of work-outs...
Again, how tight is too tight? Probably something that doesn't come off while walking in tall grass, but does come off quick when you want it to, also fast to tie up again is the knot you a...
Scandinavia is a good option, the more north you go the better. For me the nature there is more remote, more 'raw' compared to the Alps. So I would think it's comparable with Canada (although I've ...
Water intake before the trek is just one of the factors that allow one drink a little bit less during the first day; more importantly, the same factors let you start the trek with much more energy ...
No the keel doesn't move. You can find the class rules for the Maxi 72 class here. The relevant rule is D.2.4 which specifies One fixed centreline keel, solid in profile. No part shall be adj...
Not at all. It only takes a few hours for water to work its way from your gut into your system, after which any extra simply goes through your kidneys and out the other end. However you can defin...
Having actually hunted and killed squirrels for food before, if you're planning on keeping the meat, then you don't want to shoot it in the body, shoot it in the head. A squirrels head is just as b...
Well if you're Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett you'd aim for the little stump the squirrel is sitting on and bark the squirrel1: As the reader may imagine a squirrel hit by a rifle ball would be ...
A small candle burns about 1/8 ounce (3.5 g) per hour. paraffin has 19,900 btu/pound (46 MJ/kg). So a small candle releases about 19900/(8*16)=155 btu/hour (45 W). A 5 foot (1.5 metre) diameter he...
A comment by Joearizona on this solofriendly article might be relevant: I always take a GPS since the phone using GPS will drain the battery quick when there is little to no signal. I shut th...
I don't think you need to bypass them at all. You didn't say what time of year you'd be going, but in the later summer/fall, they are not nearly that deep. Also, at any time of year you could e...
In the picture given: The brown spot beneath the arm is a gut shot. If sitting just like this you'd have to shoot through the arm for a chest shot (and waste most of that meat). In general: Ri...
I searched deep into the "interwebs" and this is the best answer I could get. It's from UER, one of the biggest online urbex communities. Differences between respirators Respirators are masks ...
At the risk of being politically incorrect, how pretty are you? I see a petite, pretty woman as being far more at risk than a bigger less vogue-looing woman. Being pretty makes Black Hats consi...
Black flies (habitat: near fast flowing water) sand flies (obvious) and noseeums also fly into eyes. They aren't seeking your eyes, they just bumble into them. I've also had them get out of reac...
Hobby and kestrel are among the 60 varieties of birds of prey in the falcon family. Similarities in their body shape and color make it hard to tell them apart, especially without binoculars. I tend...
Black silicon blocks out all light except that which comes in through the lenses of the mask, leading to less light from peripheral. Spear fishermen, technical divers, free divers tend to prefer th...
So researching on the net a little bit shows some slightly different certifications than I had thought, however the specialist diver is something you get every 2 specialisations with SSI and the co...
These look like common garden spiders, which range from tiny to about the size of a 50 pence piece, and come in colours from yellow through to green. They're common to see between May and November ...
While it surely is possible to pair the watch with several HR monitoring devices, I don't think it's possible to use more than one at the same time. I cannot tell for sure since I don't have an Amb...
In general, a black silicon mask will block out a little more light from close to your face. But for me, the effect is unnoticed unless I specifically look for it. Frame colors have never made any...
As bryophyte4 already said: The weight should be on your hips. Here's how I do it (for big backpacks): Loosen all the straps Put the backpack on, buckle and tighten the hip strap such that all th...
