Is it true worth someone's time to learn survival trapping in case of an emergency situation to get food, especially in the winter months? My gut feeling is that this is not worth my effort to lea...
This is a scenario which could go either way. Let me give an example in a different way. Some people can protect their property against bears by putting an electric fence around their homes. Howev...
I would recommend a tactical military-grade flashlight. I personally use one and will not go back to any other style now. Not only do they have the option of going from a strong beam light to a wid...
One of the deciding factors for thieves with cars is whether they can see something they consider of value. If they have it fixed in their minds to breaking into your vehicle, they will do it. H...
Why exactly are these turkeys circling a dead cat? This is not normal behavior for turkeys to say the least, but it does give one the idea that there is strength in numbers. I once recall seeing c...
Many manufacturers of inflatable sleeping pads sell repair kits. Duct tape could be used in an emergency, but I would only use it as a last resort as it will leave a residue on your sleeping pad ...
There could be one who is quiet or ill at ease within a group. The group should be mature enough to not tease or make fun of one who seems ill at ease in a group setting or even more quiet or is si...
I enjoy going out every year and picking wild fruits out here in Beautiful British Columbia. Many times a year, I will go out picking berries, early in the morning with a friend if possible. My fa...
I do not believe space heaters would be a good idea in a tent. There is not a large volume of air mass to heat in a tent and if you are asleep in a tent, how can you maintain that your feet (for ex...
There are two things we have to keep in mind with this subject. If the cougar populations are in decline anywhere, this would seem to mean that cougar attacks would naturally also be in decline. Bu...
Cougars are as one would expect not afraid of any animal, being on the top of the food chain. Their one exception would be bears. Not even hunting or other disposal means will deter cougars from at...
Okay, we a all adults here (I hope) and our bodies have a regular internal rhythm which they are accustomed to deal with. This point is well brought out in James Jenkin's answer. Recommending med...
Lice are passed on by one of two manners. Either by direct contact or indirect contact with someone who is infected with lice. The chances of coming in contact with lice in the wilderness is excee...
Yes, sulfur is non toxic and very effective at controlling the itching and repelling horse lice, body lice and other mites. But that said, I would not recommend delousing your entire camp with su...
If in a survival situation, how can one preserve the hide of an animal with a minimum amount of tools and skill in order to make clothing or bedding? I am not asking how to make things with the hi...
One could use many natural things as a projectile, but I will limit my answer to two items and the lethal possibilities would depend on how close you are to the victim. This is such an expansive qu...
Spearfishing has been around ages and everyone has heard of how great the Native Indians were at spearfishing. As we all know, light is refracted (bent) when it enters water. The key to spearing f...
How can I use horsetail as a indicator plant to find gold while gold pannig? What are Indicator Plants? Indicator plants are peculiar to a certain place. Though they aren’t necessarily rar...
I am not sure, I would take this hike if I were inexperienced. At a minimum, please talk over your plans with an experienced local guide. Personally I would take a guide. The attraction of Sare...
It seems that that there is at least one company that has wheelchair accessibility for railbike riding. It is in Belgium as can be seen here. Biking on rails: it is not an activity we do in th...
Railbiking is so much fun for those of us who are not limited physically in one form or another. Are there any Draisines-Railbike Companies that have wheelchair accessibility options for the disabl...
What is great about railbiking (or draisines as some call them) is that there is such a diversity of styles in use all around the globe and have even been employed in the military occasionally. I...
I know that this question has several good responses, but I would like to put forth my two bits worth. I would like to include the use of a boomerang as a non-gun hunting instrument or tool and ha...
A "Vintage Ski Sweater", should be considered any ski sweater of at least five various types depending on how people define the word vintage: Adjective vintage (comparative more vintage, ...
Personally, I think you should be okay with your boots. You will have to walk slowly, but you should do fine. It may be beneficial to walk around with a walking stick in spots and try to avoid the ...
