May 18	comment	How tight should the line be kept for toproping? @Don Branson "what the climber asks for" -> With the caveat that a total beginner might ask for something that's unreasonable or unsafe. When I belay beginners I explain to them why they might NOT want to have the rope too right (In Squamish, that's mainly relevant for slab routes where too tight a rope prevents you from fully weighting your foot on the slab and makes it more likely for you to skid off.)
May 13	comment	What should you be aware of when planning late-season or summer skiing? One piece of advise: Don't wear the "typical" resort ski gear, i.e., a thick jacket and these super-warm pants. Get a layered system so you don't overheat.

Aug 14	comment	Tent floor waterproof rating What surprises me is that none of the tents at, e.g., mec.ca, has a floor rating above 3000mm, whereas the comparatively cheap Vaude Hogan Ultralight has 10000mm for the floor and 5000mm for the fly. Or are these numbers prone to be inflated?

Jun 1	comment	If I have to cross an icy, flowing river, what are some ways I can cross safely? You don't dry them.
Mar 27	comment	How are sleeping bag temperature ratings determined? When I bought a bag in New Zealand, it had two temperatures given: A comfort temperature, i.e., you'll be warm and sleep well; and a survival rating, i.e., you'll be awake all night cursing the cold but you won't freeze to death.

Feb 7	comment	What hand and finger exercises help with climbing? One thing to keep in mind: Climbing is more about using the right technique so that you do not have to rely on your hand and finger strength too much. Obviously, you can do way more squats than you can do pullups.
