Answer	—	A: Is it poor etiquette to ask fellow backpackers where they have been/where they are going? Context matters. There is nothing wrong with "where have you been" when you meet a fellow backpacker on a trail. But that is not the context of the linked question.

Answer	—	A: How do I strengthen my ankles for long, steepish, snow and glacier routes? Get a balance board. When you brush your teeth, stand on it with bare feet and balance.

If you want to be 100% certain, you... (more)	—	about 9 years ago
Question	—	Inexpensive ways to learn cross-country skiing I am temporarily relocating from a region with mild climate to Montréal. I run almost every day, in summer and winter, as the temperatures rarely go much below freezing point. Now, I guess I will have to switch sports, at least for the cold season. Also, I think it would be a shame not to cross-... (more)	—	about 9 years ago
Answer	—	A: How to encourage birds into the garden of a rented house? Think like a bird. If I were a bird, I would go were I can feed, breed, and hide from predators.

Question	—	Running in bear country I am an avid runner. I will be visiting British Columbia for the first time, soon. My trip will include a few weeks in the Rocky Mountains (Glacier, Banff, Yoho) and north of the Sushwap Lake. At least the former regions are "bear country". While I have looked up recommendations about hiking in bear ... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
