Thanks for raising the point about using Metric units, that will save me a lot of calculating and confusion as we also use the Metric system in South Africa. Until you actually experience a country that uses the opposite, you don't know what a pain it can be. With regards to currency, that is...

I always see people swimming in rivers and lakes that are most likely inhabited by one sort of creature or another. Whether it be a fish, crab, turtle, alligator or Loch Ness Monster, there is a chance it can bite you. Yet people generally seem to be brave enough or just completely oblivious to...

It is said that some animals, mainly game such as deer, are unable to see bright orange. This is why hunters sometimes wear it. I can see this being useful if you are in an area where there are other people so that they can see you and at the same time it may prove somewhat useful if you are in...

I immediately thought of the Life Straw. It is what the name would imply and claims to be able to filter 1000 liters of water. They were originally developed for people living in developing countries and for distribution in humanitarian crisis but it has become popular as a consumer product...

I've never heard of bamboo clothing myself, but I can't understand why it would be so expensive as bamboo grows super fast and isn't exactly rare either. The only reason for the hefty price is probably the result of an expensive manufacturing process. I guess its cool if you want something...

I haven't seen one in real life myself as I doubt there are any where I live, but they are definitely fascinating little creatures. I can just imagine how hilarious it must be sitting in the woods somewhere and then seeing a squirrel fly past like its normal. They live quite short lives, about 4...

I think going on vacation there for a few weeks is an awesome idea, thanks! Looking into it a little more, I would love to live in Toronto, it sure seems like a great place to be, thanks for the informative feedback. I'll also have to look into the legal side of things and immigration laws. This...

I live in South Africa, which isn't exactly a good thing and after doing some extensive research, I've concluded that Canada is literally my dream place to live. It has everything I could wish for in a country, it is clean, safe, free of crime and political corruption, its cold and its in the...

I saw this on Facebook and I thought it was just clickbait so I disregarded it. I sort of questioned the logic behind it and realized lemon juice is a good electrolyte and therefore would react with the electrodes in the zinc nails and copper clips, connecting them in series and then completing...

I know that this may not be applicable to most people on this forum, but I figured its worth sharing. Here we have a store known as Cape Union Mart, they supply camping, hiking and outdoor gear and I've loved shopping there. They always seem to stock all sorts of interesting and wonderful...

I'm posting this in the Shelter section as I would assume your vehicle counts as a shelter if you are using it in that sense. With me having more and more spare time on my hands by automating my work, I have started spending more of that time camping and my vehicle of choice is my Audi RS4...

My name is Sasha and I have recently become interested in camping. I live in a small city so there aren't too many camping opportunities nearby, but if I drive a few hundred kilometers out, there is a world of beautiful, mountainous land available to use. I enjoy camping because it takes me away...
