Quite a challenge! How is the cell phone reception along your normally traveled routes? I would be sure your vehicle is equipped with enough supplies to spend a night or so if you ever get bogged down en route. If there is apace, I would consider

Long time no post. I need some advice. I've had to sublet a room on a cattle ranch, and commute 30 miles into town for work (Long story). The structure is a prefab, with no interior access to the crawl space underneath. My main challenge is I am en

Any older technology (pre-electricity or internal combustion), no matter how far back you go, is worth learning. When it comes to food collection though, it is very regionally specific. It is not wasted effort to learn it.

Th should be an interesting and worthwhile presentation. Native American cultures had developed life ways and strategies to cope with the regional environment that were often, if not usually, superior to those introduced by Europeans. Everything fr

The prediction in some area's in the world (primarily southwest Asia), is that the wet-bulb temperatures may be reaching a certain % of the population, depending on which model is used, in this century. Wet-bulb temperatures are lethal without active

I suspect that globally, that heat kills more people than cold, since there are large populations, many of them very poor, in hot climates. In colder climates such as the UK deaths from cold almost certainly outnumber those from heat. In many cases

One thing not mentioned (apparently) is the effect of wind (wind chill). Hypothermia is easily achieved at temps of 50 F with enough wind, while high winds simply moderate the effects of high temperatures. Level of activity is a potent factor as wel

Aye. Few years ago had 3 army guys died from hyperthermia during Fan Dance, a SAS selection/training exercise. Was a hot day for this area (South Wales), but only 30C/86F and expected time for the exercise is around 4 hours in the Summer.

It is not necessarily the extremes that kill, but the lack of understanding of how the weather will affect the body's temperature. Hypothermia is more likely (in sheer volume) in temperatures above freezing, because people go out unprepared and impro
