Apr 8	comment	Avalanche forecast in North America? Unfortunately, there is no simple practical rule that tells you when you can go. This is a note to potential readers: do not reverse the advice and say "ok, it was only 13 cm snow and only slope is 25 degrees, so I'll go".

Apr 1	comment	How to warm up your cold toes and fingers? right, my wording was poor. For me it just feels like this: you do powerful breathing (and inhale a lot of cold air), but transfer a relatively low amount of heat to your hands. But it's really subjective and I'm not going to insist on this point.
Mar 30	comment	How to warm up your cold toes and fingers? I find this method quite ineffective: you transfer very little heat to your hands while wasting a lot. Plus your hands (gloves) get damp because of moisture.
Mar 30	awarded	Nice Question
Mar 27	comment	How to warm up your cold toes and fingers? There is a topic on heat loss from the head on skeptics.SO: skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/2839/… Still I like the general point about putting on more clothing, it was not mentioned here before.
Mar 25	comment	How should we split up a 3 person tent? @LBell, oh, you seem to never have slept 5 in a 3 person tent, lucky guy) But it's very warm and friendly, I should say)

Mar 18	comment	Winter Camping: How to warm up your boots in the morning? When you are putting on your frozen boots it helps to imagine what it's like to put on a frozen wet suit;) That's what is really terrible!
Mar 18	comment	Winter Camping: How to warm up your boots in the morning? Very nice and laconic answer! I'd like to add, that you may want to put your boots into a plastic bag before letting it inside the tent or sleeping bag to avoid wetting the bag, your socks, friends, etc...
Mar 12	comment	Rapid backpack readying I'd better make spreadsheets for any kind of a trip (maybe even with some duration-dependent logic) and use them as a todo list to pick equipment from your organized shelves. Though I don't understand why your first approach doesn't work, can you explain a bit more, please?
Mar 6	comment	How to minimize sea sickness? The bit about resting you head is probably controversal: for me it works better to sit with head and shoulders not touching the seat back, which reduces head motion. But tested in cars, not sea vessels.
Mar 2	comment	Best type of rope for glacier travel? Thank you, @Mr.Wizard, I should really study modern ropes more before giving such advice.
Feb 28	comment	What do you do if the fire does get “out of control”? @MaskedPlant, absolutely. Moreover, dirt will cover some flames and make them lower, which is a much stronger effect than adding slightly more fuel.
