Why don't we apply the principles of layering when it comes to pants? In addition, women can and do wear tights under their pants for extra warmth on cold days. There's no valid reason why men couldn't do that too: they just don't. |

Apart from down, is there any outdoor material that should not be stored stuffed? Leaving a kink in a cable by having it wound tightly around something hard can weaken it. |

Are there significant behaviour differences among bear species to adopt different safety rules? How can you tell black bear scat from grizzly bear scat? Grizzly bear scat has bear bells in it. |

How to keep water cold in hot weather? I freeze half-full bottles on their sides with the lid off - being on a slight angle from flat if necessary to keep the water from spilling out. Then in the morning top up with water. You can drink right away with this approach and it stays cold for most of the day. |

How do I treat hot spots and blisters when I have no moleskin? I suggest you take a tiny amount (one or two blisters worth) of whatever you like to use for blisters, and leave it permanently in your day pack, jacket pocket, camera case, or the like. Then you will always have it no mtter what kind of walk you're on. |

How do I treat hot spots and blisters when I have no moleskin? Bandaid sells the Compeed products in North America. It's not always obvious on the box, but the instructions refer to Compeed being printed on one of the pieces of paper you peel off. I think it's called Blister Block these days. |

Will glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate prevent or repair damage to climbers’ fingers? People say it's a placebo. But when we switched our dog (on vet's advice) to food with glucosamine in it, she was able to go up and down stairs that she couldn't before. (I mean she could when she was younger, but then could no longer, then the food switch and she could do the stairs again.) That's when I started taking it myself. I don't think dogs are smart enough to have a placebo effect :-) |

What is a self erecting tent and why should I want one? Also a tent does not have to be self-erecting to be freestanding. My tent can sty up without pegs in rocky terrain but I have to insert and connect the poles myself. |

How can I build a safe, effective igloo? I've edited a little to make my point clearer. A well made igloo will be best. But a random camper is unlikely to build a well made igloo |
