I'm a physicist working on air pollution and global warming.
Of course, I spend most of my time programming.

comment Facility to test cold weather gear in London UK
Aside from just walking into a meat freezer, I've never heard of anything like what you're asking. But to be more clear, this is not something that people usually do when buying gear.

Oh, my only concern is the smell. I will try to make that more clear.

comment How to maintain climbing strength while training for a marathon
Well, I think at least one day a week at the climbing gym will have to happen. Even if it hurts. And the only "equipment" I have at home is a pull-up bar and some rock rings.

@KateGregory I've heard a lot of intense hiking stories, but yours is by far the most hardcore. Kudos.

comment Do bag liners add the same warmth value to all sleeping bags?
On non-backpacking trips I have taken to filling my sleeping bag with all the clothes I brought, coats, hats, socks, you name it. We found filling the sleeping bag with cloth is more effective than liners. (Of course, if you Are backpacking, all you'll have is a coat and some extra socks.)
