Answer A: Male swimming attire that can be worn under clothing

I had one of this type of loop break in the middle of a backpacking trip. I un-threaded the other lace from the matching loop, and instead wrapped the bootlaces around the boot ankle.

Answer A: Water sources: which are safe and which should be avoided? (UK)
No one is going to guarantee that a water source is safe to drink from. The best you can do is look for reasons that a given water source might be expected to be unsafe. Then, after you rule out as many sources of risk as you can, you make your own determination whether that water source seems safe e...

Answer A: Is there such a thing as "heat lightning" without a storm?
Heat lightning is a myth. It's normal lighting from a far-away thunderstorm. Lightning is visible 30&#x2013;50 miles (48&#x2013;80 km), or up to 100 miles (160 km) over perfectly flat terrain. Thunder is only audible from about 10-15 miles away. So when a storm is more than 15 miles away, but less t...
