In the United States, where would I find how a geological feature got its name? In the US, there are plenty of interestingly named features along with lots of really repetitive ones. If I wanted to find out how a mountain/creek/river got its official name, where would I find that information? (more) |

How far apart should scope rings be on a picatinny rail? I just got a new hunting rifle, scope, and rings. The rifle has a picatinny rail so I am not limited in ring placement the way I would be with some of the other mounting systems. Is there any advantage in placing the rings farther or closer apart?

How would PLA stand up to cold and wet environments? I am thinking about making some trekking pole baskets with my 3D printer in PLA, the originals having been worn out a long time ago. PLA has problems with heat, how does it do with cold? They won't cost very much but if they break right away it might be a problem. (more) |

What difference is removing wolves from the list of animals protected by the Endangered Species Act in the US going to make? Wolves are going to be removed from the list of animals protected by the Endangered Species Act (pending litigation). They were already delisted in Montana and Idaho and had a hunting season in Wyoming. What difference will this make assuming that it goes through? (more) |

How long after a fire will the majority of the dead trees fall over? There are several higher altitude forested areas that I go hiking that have burned this summer and I am wondering about how they will be next summer. Dead trees falling on you is always a concern when camping and there will be lots more in those areas once the fire is out. How long on average w... (more) |

A: How can I make a STL of a topo map perfectly round? Here is how I made it much rounder, - Load the STL into Tinkercad. - Add a ruler to the workspace and choose the option to measure from center. - Center your stl and lock it. - Add a tube from the right menu and center it as well. - Set the number of sides on the tube to 64. - Increase the d...

How can I make a STL of a topo map perfectly round? With theis KML circular generator, and this STL generator it is possible to create round 3D printed maps like this one. Image alt text However, the KML circle isn't perfectly round and that leeds to the bumps on the edges you can see. Is there a program where I can trim the original STL so t... (more) |

Is PLA suitable for outdoor gear use in the sun? I have a 3d printer, and right now I am only using PLA which has a relatively low melting temperature (hot car in the sun or dishwasher would be enough to warp it). I am interested in printing some gear parts like trekking pole baskets or contoured maps or scope covers, is PLA going to warp from j... (more) |

A: Where can I find the data to turn topographical maps into STL files? There are two free sites I have found. 1. https://touchterrain.geol.iastate.edu/ Easy to use, will cut the box into tiles if you want to do the print in sections, lets you set how big your print bed is. 2. http://jthatch.com/Terrain2STL/ Simpler, with less settings but definately not as nice to...

Where can I find the data to turn topographical maps into STL files? I am looking to 3d print some models of different places, it should be possible to take the same data that is used for making topographical maps and turn that into STL files which I can then 3d print. Where would I find that data or a website that will do the conversion for me? (more) |

What would lead to widely different air quality readings for the same area? Lately there has been so much wildfire smoke that it was unpleasant if not quite harmful to go outside. I was looking at the weather websites for a forecast to try and predict when it would be better, and noticed that the current air quality readings would be quite different between websites. I wo...

A: What is the best method for storing a 'pre-mixed baking mix' in a camper for long periods?

Why would hearing muffs be tested against continuous and not impulse noise? Looking at a new pair of earmuffs that a NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) or 34 DB. However the fine print says that said rating is for continous noise and not impulse (like gunfire). Why would they be tested that way as a big reason people buy earmuffs is to protect their hearing while shooting? (more) |

A: Is it safe to use a slightly rusty butane canister? So long as it's still holding butane and not deeply pitted you should be fine. I would assume that if it was already cracked through the butane would have already escaped. They don't seem to be real expensive, so it might not be a bad idea to just get a new one and not worry about it. (more) |
