Iyou don’t have to wash your clothes every day either. My hiking gear is designed to be worn for several days without washing - wool t-shirts and nylon long-sleeved hiking shirt and long nylon hiking pants. These fabrics resist oil and don’t... -
I get so frustrated when I hear about this 10% theory, who came up with something so crazy and totally wrong? If an untrained, overweight 120kg person "should" carry 12kg, and a top-fit 50kg person gets away with 5, the world is pretty unfair...
