Answer	—	A: Are there any non-legal advantages of a non-locking knife? The sole difference between a locking and non-locking knife is the blade folding in without any locking/unlocking mechanism. For this comparison i will assume, that you can close the blade with locking mechanism one-handed, otherwise you have an advantage right there. Short FYI: The (legal) reason i...

Answer	—	A: Can anyone identify this JanSport external frame backpack? Edit: It is a McKinley. The difference is the padded hip belt vs the frame extending to the side of the hips. The backpack in OPs picture features the padded hip belt. http://www.outdoorinov8.com/pictures/image2626.jpg Previous post: It is the D2 or McKinley. I can not spot a difference in the pict...

Answer	—	A: What are these small blue berries growing in clusters on a medium size bush in Southern Ontario, Canada? Disclaimer: I may be wrong, don't eat things that you are not 100% sure are edible!!! This is a Nannyberry. It is edible. More information here. Wikipedia Link for convenience. Fun fact: The English translation of its German name is "Canadian Snowball" (Kanadischer Schneeball). (more)	—	over 6 years ago
Answer	—	A: Do birds get ticks? Yes, birds can get ticks. I found some sources online, amongst them this paper, which also contains information about birds and borreliosis. Primarily wild living birds are affected by ticks. Ticks use them as host and bite them, feed on them. The birds can spread borelliosis , and while the ticks... (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
Answer	—	A: What type of fishing lure is this? Unless there is a certain terminology for "backside" plugs, this is a plug (or as I know it: a wobbler. No idea which term is more commonly used around where you live). Wikipedia Link I had to bust out my detective hat and pipe to find information on these ones, but I stumbled upon this: an article...

Answer	—	A: Is this a dragonfly or a damselfly? This is a dragonfly. Damselflies place their wings alongside their body when resting. Dragonflies can not do this, once they had their first flight after hatching. So when you see their wings pointing to their back, it's a damselfly or maybe a freshly hatched dragonfly (in these cases you can tell... (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
Answer	—	A: Getting started fishing Go to your local fishing shop. They usually can give you some solid advice. Good fishing gear does not have to be expensive, even for larger fish. Once you get really specialized, you might need an edge. Until then it is smooth sailing. If you really just want to go fishing about four times a year, ... (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
Answer	—	A: What most common factors cause significant fluctuations in numbers of ticks that carry Lyme Disease? The Lyme Disease is not transferred from ticks to their larvae. This is really uncommon to say the least, so most ticks are "clean" at "birth". To carry Lyme Disease, the ticks have to become infected themselves. They usually get infected by infected hosts, like mice or hedgehogs. The bacteria now ... (more)	—	almost 7 years ago
Answer	—	A: Why would fatigue cause fever? Others experience this too (the internet is filled with similar stories). It does not look like you were really sick - this would have lasted longer than a day. However a weakened immune system is a concern after exhausting exercise. It is difficult to tell you what happened to you, but we can still... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Answer	—	A: Is this a cockroach? If so, which one? This looks like a Pedostrangalia revestita (i totally ripped this from the site below. I have no idea if this is correct, I am still looking for the English and German terms (in German it is a kind of Bockkäfer)) http://cerambyx.uochb.cz/pedostrangaliarevestita.php I am by no means an expert, ...

Answer	—	A: How much time does qualifying for a fishing license in Germany take? This depends on the state, and the kind of course. In some states you don't need a license any more, or could even purchase a tourist-license valid for few weeks. The course can take just a few days, with a final test at the end, but sometimes it is difficult to find a course in a certain time fram... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Answer	—	A: How to stash firewood without it getting wet? You don't really have to keep it dry at all. If it is proper firewood, it has already dried. A little rain won't change that. To start a fire you can split the wood, which will be dry inside. Once the fire has gained a little strength, you can just put the wet logs on; they will dry in no time. I c...

Answer	—	A: Why does a leader have to be tapered in fly fishing? I will try to answer this, however i don't know the correct english terminology. The main reason for a tapered leader is the control you get over your fly. With a thick line, you flick (or roll, here comes the terminology issue) the tip of your rod, and you can see the "wave" travel forward through ... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Answer	—	A: What characteristics should I look for in a good torch/flashlight? There are several features you could want or ignore in a head torch. So this answer is subjective. A good head torch should be bright of course with a good distance to it, you don't just want to be able to see a few feet in front of you. In other situations, you want a wide illuminated angle, so it... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Answer	—	A: Best saltwater fishing rigs This really depends on what your situation is. You want to fish from the shore, so how bad is the surf? The bigger the waves, the larger the weight. Also, you could use lead like this. The "arms" help the lead to dig into the sand, and then turn over once you put some pressure on them and reel it in... (more)	—	almost 8 years ago
Answer	—	A: What is this miniature backpack called? The closest thing to what you look for are "cpr keychains". You might also search for "mini backpack keychains" to find similar results near you.

Answer	—	A: What are the advantages and disadvantages of a paracord knife handle? I think it can be a matter of personal taste, however: Some people craft their own knifes, and using a paracord wrap as handle is easy to do, and easy to redo. There are some more and some less good looking wrap styles - again, personal taste. This also applies when it comes to knifes you buy in a ... (more)	—	about 8 years ago
Answer	—	A: Am I allowed to "wild-camp" in my car? If you are allowed to drive there, and the land is not privately owned, you are allowed to sleep there, although different state have their own law. Everyone may enter public forests and you may sleep there too, as long as you don't leave any trash or harm the environment. Sleeping under a tarp is o... (more)	—	about 8 years ago
