Answer A: Energy bars for outdoors activities: what are the important criteria?

It works really well to kill microbes of all kinds by oxygenating the water, and you can drink it in that low of a concentration (it is used in commerc...

Answer A: How much water should be carried while hiking in the desert?
It depends on how well hydrated you are to start with, whether or not there is a water source at the end of the day, how steep the terrain is, how much food you are eating, how you breathe (mouth or nose), how good of shape you're in, how much weight you're carrying, how hot it is, and what type of p...
