During my adult life I have spent more nights outdoors than in.

I have served as an outdoor guide, educator, conservationist, researcher, crew leader and enthusiast from the bear-chomps of Alaska to the rock-falls of canyon country.

Currently working at a remote research station deep in the rain forest of Borneo studying primate ecology.

Dec 6	comment	How do I tie a slackline with only carabiners and webbing? @Mr.Wizard -- Your answer is pretty good - but if I want the answer to my question, I have to a) go off this site, b) watch a lengthy video (I read/digest diagrams faster than watch a video) and c) think for myself ;)

Dec 5	asked	What is the true risk of suffocation from different combustion sources in a tent? (CO2, CO)
Dec 5	comment	When is it too cold for Tarping? I've read that human breath creates more CO2 per hour than a single candle. People who have died were probably using propane lanterns with much higher combustion rates. If in doubt, crack your zipper an inch.

Dec 3	comment	How do I tie a slackline with only carabiners and webbing? Not sure that it makes that much difference - but I removed the non-locking specificity from the question. (Side note: I've slacklining for years with non-locking 'biners and never had one open, break, etc...)

Nov 30	comment	Can a PVC rain jacket also be used as a windbreaker? I have found anything more active than playing cards in a PVC rain jacket is likely to cause condensation. But I sweat easily.
