Can any waterborne pathogens survive boiling? Not quite true... There are some bacteria that can survive boiling, but I seriously doubt you would ever find them in your traditional hiking water sources! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermophile |

Is a varied diet necessary while backpacking? Got a reference for "It takes more than 4-5 days to have problems from a limited diet"? |

How much water should be carried while hiking in the desert? @LBell nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/hike-smart.htm That's worst case, hiking mid-day in the desert. It's best to take shelter if you can to avoid the mid-day sun, and resume after late afternoon. It definitely can be a losing prospect... deserts scare me! |

What is the difference between external and internal-frame packs? I did mention the different storage areas as one of the only bonus to external frame, however this is no longer a discussion really. Look on any gear site for the number of internal vs external frame backpacks and it's literally 10 internal frame options for every 1 external frame option. There wouldn't be such a discrepancy if external frame packs didn't have so many drawbacks compared to internal frame. |

How to reduce the annoying sound of falling raindrops on a tent? @Roflcoptr I think you'll benefit more from a larger distance between your tent and the suspended tarp. ;) |

How can I acclimatize to cold? This is true. Coming out of winter in Iowa, I would be wearing shorts when it hit 40 degrees. Since living in Southern California for over a year, I get cold when it's in the 60s. |
