comment How should I remove a tick?
Nice to see that most answers emphasize the evenly part. Ticks aren't screws, so pulling them out counterclockwise or clockwise as some people like to tell you, won't do any good.

comment What equipment do I need as a beginner outdoor rock climber?
Ryley, but if you do own a rope, more experienced people are more likely to take you with them and teach you stuff. That's what I did: Got a rope pretty soon and then said to experienced climbers: Hey, would you help me with setting up secure anchors if I provide you with a rope and a ride? Has worked pretty well so far :)

comment How can I stay warm in subzero weather?
I thought using a sleeping mat/sleeping pad was something obvious, even just for comfort: Hard ground vs. soft mat

comment How to reduce the annoying sound of falling raindrops on a tent?
I think it's something one can get used to. But if not, earplugs are the natural solution.

True. Just get your circulation going.

Not necessarily a duplicate: Emergency means that you weren't prepared for the situation. Here, the low temperatures are already expected.

comment What do I do to prevent and treat frostbite?
Great answer. I have one tidbit to add: Don't wear boots that are too tight as this restricts blood flow, and don't wear boots that are too wide as this leaves your toes prone to get cold.

comment How does one dry clothes in humid weather?
And, very important, don't bring cotton clothes, as those will NEVER dry.
