learn to yell like chewbacca, bears will tuck their little tails and warn others of their kind of the big bad scary people in the woods

Do your dog a favor and leave him/her at home, no need in exposing it to winter conditions like you may encounter, freezing temps and a wet coat are hard on an animal not conditioned for such. If wet...

Sugarfoot I read your first post incorrectly, my apologies. As far as volunteering I would as long as it was done in a medical facility, but know way in hell would I trust a bunch of know it all...

I was hiking from MA to Harpers Ferry, in NY I met two nobo day hikers both female, I'm guessing early 60's, one very clearly informed me I wouldn't make it to HF because my pack didn't have load...

I don't think you understand the question. I know it's core body temp, but if one has a lower core body temp than the average and it's normal for them, will that persons body core temp need to drop...
