Is it known if it is European or Canadian one?

When somewhat younger I once tried a combination of Brynje mesh underware and a very thin shell in -20C temp. It was surprisingly comfortable while on the move, OK for a stop of 5 mins but not much longer. So it works well in some situations but it seems not to be a general solution for...

What Tea tree oils does is that it kills the bacteria on one's skin that break down some fatty acids to smelly ones.

Tea tree oil is also good for smelly feet, one treatment is good for some while.

I think Tea tree oil is what does most of the killing in that, it tends to kill all bacters, even ones resistant to antibiotics. Is not very expensive but one would need some kind of spraying device.

Are you sure parrots (some of the more intelligent avians) do not feel being put down?

Ötzi's axe was 99% copper, very different from even bad bronze. Hmmm ... apples and oranges. For hundreds of years people in Taiga have carried an axe and a fixed blade knife. As far as I know Finns( Swedes at the time) emigrating into the colonies (present day Delaware) carried an axe and a...

As far as I know not really but the set of priorities varies according to region, here in Finland I have a feeling that we might be more trekking oriented.

Well as the old saying goes: a wise man learns from the mistakes others made ...

Depending how one defines "Europe", there are some fairly arid places just north of the Caspian see. While these places are good for practice if one wants do it in a safe place I kind of have a feeling that one can walk out of these too easily for them to be the real thing. I did not know...

Climatewise Europe reaches from subtropical to arctic. Only thing missing is desert. In my mind that does cover enough interesting regions at least for a good start.

Ubuntu and Android both Firefox. Wrong name, once moderator, logging in and out by chance.

This is kind of weird, apparently I am a moderator now! (And no, the tools does not open)

Yippie-kai yee, have got my name back, all morning was without a name. Now I have a wrong name again.

Happened for the first time to me, looks like only my name is wrong everything else seems to work correctly.

Finally got myself a SS Jääkäripuukko 140.
