What did you buy today?

Decluttering a house for a friend and dug up one of those urns for keeping hot water warm and dispensing it. Not for hikes of course, but carrying the first hot tea to a campsite to save on time & labour or heating water over a fire, I'm very excited.

There’s are countries where you are legally obliged to clear your stretch of pavement. There are others, like the UK, where doing so makes you liable for the surface that you’ve created.
Ho, as they say, hum.

What rubbish.
Actual gov.uk website not made up rubbish.

At least in Tallinn, Estonia the put salt on the snow; that is the worst thing to do. It makes the snow a bit like walking in potatoe flour.

I lived in Moscow through the winter, one year. During the day, the surface would melt ever so slightly, then freeze again, leaving a surface made up of shallow little hollows.

There's no point putting salt down when the temperature gets really low, so they sprinkle sand over the ice to create a gritty surface. Between the grit and the little hollows where you can put your heel, it's surprisingly easy to walk around without slipping.
