Answer | — |
A: Are there less crinkly emergency space blankets? I have only purchased the inexpensive kind. That cost a couple of bucks. These work by using a metalized plastic to reflect 90% of body heat back to the person. They are light and compact. The nature of the design, makes them noisy.

Answer | — |
A: Why would hearing muffs be tested against continuous and not impulse noise? Current testing is "is based upon idealized laboratory testing, the NRR can overestimate the protection" There is some talk about changing the rating system, but in a quick search I don't find anything recent.

What is the best method for storing a 'pre-mixed baking mix' in a camper for long periods? I have a camping trailer that we keep stocked with food and beverages.

Bread does not do well in the camper for long periods. I have purchased Bis... (more) |

A: How many wag bags will the average person use per day? Several references indicate that average person poops between 3 times per day, to once every 3 days. Any group could average anywhere in that range. Given the unpleasant prospect of re-using a wag bag, I suggest using the higher range of (3 per day) and adding a couple extra just in case. ...

A: What is the survival rate for baby cottontail rabbits between spring and winter? Spring to fall is the breeding season. While they can have a litter every 28 days.

A: Are there any tricks to get a fish to commit to biting a fly? In my personal experience: Keep the fly moving. A moving fly is a meal that is about to escape. A fly that is not moving, needs only to be protected from others until you decide if you want it or not. (more) |
