Answer	—	A: Is it illegal to walk on single or dual carriageways in the UK? If it's not a motorway, it's not illegal. It might however be dangerous or very ill-advised (think of the fumes you would inhale all the way). I live near the A1 and would not consider walking any distance along it except in an emergency, the vehicles are way too close and way too fast. (more)	—	almost 6 years ago
Answer	—	A: Given limited space and weight what should I carry to get a fire going with damp wood? A couple of additional thoughts: A metal pencil sharpener with a large hole (often only available as a two-hole sharpener). Great for turning twigs into shavings.

In v5.3b (16th Oct 2017), on page 37 and 38 there are two variations of the offset overhand bend for join... (more)	—	about 6 years ago
Answer	—	A: What methods can be used to keep a cooler cold longer? Freeze as much of the contents as practical eg bottled soft drinks, spare water. You can freeze water in a bladder such as Platypus or Camelbak (with lids rather than hoses ideally) - don't fill completely, leave a gap then squeeze air out, leaving only a small air pocket at the filling hole. Or jus... (more)	—	about 6 years ago
Answer	—	A: Is it possible to "pad" the shoulder straps of backpack? Worry about the hip belt first, make sure she can carry the load on the hips (sitting above/on the hips, not around/below). Shoulder straps should prevent the pack from falling backwards too far, but should not carry load vertically. For 6kg (or to be honest, even twice that) the shoulder straps shou...
