Glacier Peak. If the is Mt Baker then Glacier peak should be in the foreground to the left and look bigger as it is only 240' shorter. Unless you we quite a bit north of Banks lake.
This is more of a road experience for a rural area in Washington state. Near a lake a group of pet dogs (all had nice collars) would form a pack during the day and liked to chase bikes. On flat ...
Yes stretch is good. Relax and stop thinking about your arms. When you have a foot holds just breath and relax. Watch, a good climber will chalk and look around. If there are three arm move...
I don't think heat versus temperature is addressed in any answers. Assuming all skin is the same temperature then cover all skin with equal insulation is optimal. Starting warm all skin is about ...
I think you are better off describing the conditions. Like choppy and or gusty. The boat could heel / lean, rock, or even capsize. It is more the captain and crew that are floundering. Pa...
Clean and condition. REI Good old saddle soap is good. Then lots of boot conditioner as the salt will dry them out. Then water proofing.
Yes FILSON is a company. That is commonly called a stocking cap. That is kind of expensive for cap. But it is a nice cap.
Basic materials have not changed that I am aware of. The basics are carbon steel and stainless steel. All steel has carbon but they seem to use carbon steel to designate it is not stainless stee...
I may have missed it but I would add the following: Some (like 4+) large thick bandages to stop a major bleed. Like 4 X 4 or 4 X 6. You can get some life threatening cuts. I ski patrolled and we...
The base of large trees usually have bare ground (at least less snow). But you need to be careful not to burn the tree and melting snow in tree as it will rain down on you and the fire. A micro fi...
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...

As I stated in the comment I disagree with incorrect. It is a different but consistent representation of slope. A common interpretation of slope is rise (y) over run (x) y / x A problem with y...
There is a bit to it. A book like Freedom of the Hills has excellent instructions with illustrations. If it is solid ice you cannot break through then this is not going to work. Practice on yo...
First of all you need to control what is life threatening. Control the bleed. Lay them down and elevate the wound if necessary. Apply sterile dressings (or the closest thing you have to sterile)....
Obvious try and keep people off the ice when it is soft. Ice resurfacer Before Zamboni 3 or 4 workers had to scrape, wash, and squeegee the ice. A thin layer of water was then added fo...
Since you get a lot of wind skiing you need to break the wind. And you don't need as much breath-ability. But in sunny conditions you can get away with a bit. You are not going to have a lot of ...
You could place it on the fire but you would likely burn the contents. Putting it directly on the fire is also not stable, as the wood shifts as it burns. A tripod over a fire is useful for stab...

Yes most of what you eat consumes water for digestion - nuts, grain, beans, and meat. Most if not all vegetables. Only limited fruits have excess water over digestion. Can only hope you have enoug...
It is dangerous as it can hang up and it places you more forward in the chair (slip off). Lift operators fear packs. A hip pack is a much better option as there is a gap in the chair for the hip p...
Freeze a 24 oz can. It will bulge out. Put it in a freezer bag. Pack it in the middle of your sleeping bag. Wrap your sleeping bag with your insulated pad. Throw all of that in the freezer for ...
Just sleep with the solution in your sleeping bag. Same with drinking water. During the day you may need to carry it next to your body.
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 ...
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 ...
