I never had problems clipping my backpack with harness on me at same time. During alpine climbing or XC skiing I actually always have my harness on me. It just takes to long to put it on and off each time you need it. And not clipping waistband of backpack makes it very wobbly and unstable.

T-shirts are made not only from the cotton. Wool ones are nice to keep the smell at the minimum. Usually I take just one for no matter how long trek and wash it in the streams and lakes. Synthetic are nice as well. The ones designed for runners are particularly good in hot weather.

If you go with boiling. And usually it's the best and cheapest solution, you need to boil it for 20 minutes to kill all possible bacteria and viruses. That is a common way of sterilizing bones in veterinary academy.

UK is infamous for it wet and dump weather. One must be crazy to use hammock on those islands.

Those are really good. Only downside is that bananas are a bit heavy, so usually I leave them in the car then go out climbing.

In many Cyrillic languages 'rab' transcripts to 'slave'. That's making things extremely confusing!

Cycling fleeces and jackets usually have longer sleeves.

I have same experience with Rab, but I'm in S size.

Dry shower works fine for 1 - 2 weeks expeditions on altitude. But it's personal. Some folks need 2 showers a day, others get away for weeks without one.

Same in Russia. Campfire is absolutely necessary in bear and wolf country.
