Apr 26	comment	While backpacking, should one bring hand sanitizer, soap, or both? @zoul I have been using a biodegradable for more than one year and it has proven to be very useful. It leaves no trace at all and does not attract insects. I cannot say the same for unscented soap which proved to be irresistible to insects.
Apr 25	comment	While backpacking, should one bring hand sanitizer, soap, or both? Are you asking this question because you are going to places where water presence is an issue ?
Apr 19	comment	Running shoes for asphalt + winter conditions? @BenCrowell well I am not a fan of Yaktrax. I am an avid user of microspikes for winter hike outside the city but I do not think they are appropriate for running in winter in a city.
Apr 12	comment	What can I do with a retired rope and harness? Ropes can be very useful when camping
Mar 20	comment	What kind of mementos, if any, am I allowed to collect from State and National parks in small quantities? It would be nice if the answer was a wiki one so each user could append his knowledge on specific region or country
Mar 4	comment	How efficient is the Altai skis “the Hok”? Thank you for the feedback :)
Feb 28	comment	How can I physically prepare for high altitude hiking? Being fit is not a waranty of not being altitude sick. It has to do the way you will manage the lack of oxygen.
Jan 14	comment	Winter food: which types of food are less inclined to freeze? I like your idea of testing
Jan 4	comment	Winter food: which types of food are less inclined to freeze? @KateGregory: good point, post a answer ?
Dec 20	comment	Should I be more careful about postholing during winter hikes? Injury is also a big concern. Not be able to finish the hike in a timely manner can be a serious issue specialy if injured
Dec 20	comment	Should I be more careful about postholing during winter hikes? It will definitely slow you down and this is not a minor issue. To quantify, a person can expect advancing at 5km/h when hiking. This speed will drop at 2.5km/h when snowshoeing. Without snowshoes, this speed is probably much less.
Dec 14	comment	Snowshoes for hilly terrain @furtive : Your comment was the answer I was expecting. Could you write it as an Answer and I will accept it.
Dec 13	comment	Is it safe to drink out of rusty thermos? I found this cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/24786/…
Dec 13	comment	What can I do to keep my hands warm while using touchscreens in the winter? @Brad Patton: what cold temperatures are you talking about ?
Dec 12	comment	Are there any exceptions to the layer principle? + 1 : I also like the concept of layering when I am not too sure about the condition. One layer can be easily removed if too warm.
Dec 6	comment	What is the true risk of suffocation from different combustion sources in a tent? (CO2, CO) Thanks for the answer
Dec 5	comment	What is the true risk of suffocation from different combustion sources in a tent? (CO2, CO) I will be curious to know what is the average amount of Co2 produced by a stove vs the average amount of co2 generated by human breathing. My guess would be that stove will win but I heard of people suffocate in closed cars while sleeping.
Nov 26	comment	What can I use to label my medicine tubes? Have you considered to write on a paper and put it inside these small tubs so it can be seen without opening the tube ?
Nov 26	comment	Snowshoes for hilly terrain Your Model if I am not mistaken has additional spikes on the side, right ?
Nov 15	comment	Jerky or Freeze-dried food : Is the salt they contain a concern? Interesting but I would say that "adding the proper amount of water" is not always enough. Some of the dehydrated foods that I bought contained more than 75% of the daily salt amount required. This is too much for one meal.
