Arsenal halt. Tourist tips

Tourist tips

I want to share with readers my small devices that provide additional convenience when organizing bonfire on a halt during a weekend hike or travel around the native land. One of the common "fire" problems is finding and preparing pegs for setting up a tent and flyers for the crossbar, as well as the crossbar itself for hanging pots or buckets over a fire. Most often, young trees suffer because of this, ruthlessly cut down - and all for one-time use only.

Since I go hiking often, I decided to optimize the equipment in this regard.

Pegs and stands

First of all, I solved the problem of pegs and poles for the tent - I made them from metal corners with shelves 30x30 mm. It turned out eight pegs 150 mm long and two posts (in accordance with the height of the tent). From one end I sawed them at an acute angle, so that they entered the ground more easily and held the cords of the tent extensions more securely. In addition, at the upper ends of the blanks, it is advisable to bend the petal of one of the shelves - we will get a convenient thrust platform. In addition, the tips of the pegs can rest against it when folding, which makes them safe to carry. For the same purpose, it is worth making packing cases for them.

The same shelves must be provided at both ends of the racks: the awning of the tent will rest on one, and the other will serve as a safe thrust bearing when the rack rests on the floor of the tent being installed.

Everything for the fire

I did the same with the fire utensils. From the mentioned metal corners, I prepared two racks designed to replace the flyers. At the upper ends, I drilled a hole with a diameter of 8 mm, inserted into them an S-shaped hook made of welding electrodes with a diameter of 3 mm, covering them with a coating. On these hooks he hung a metal chain about a meter long, left over from previous household chores: it began to play the role of a fire beam.

To hang pots and a teapot on it, I made several hooks from the same electrodes, also S-shaped, but with additional bends of the end switches so that they do not cling and, moreover, it was more convenient to remove the suspended container along with the hook. In fact, it is advisable to have more such hooks than hanging dishes: after all, with their help, you can also adjust the level of the suspension depending on the state of the fire.

Chain and case

By analogy with hooks, you can also make the crossbar chain itself, if there is no finished one. This may turn out to be even more convenient, since such a chain can be detachable if desired, which will provide additional convenience when folding it for transportation.

For racks, pegs and hooks, sew a special cover made of leatherette or tarpaulin, with a shoulder strap - for easy carrying like a gun.

Such a set will be useful not only for a tourist, but also for a hunter or fisherman, any lover of outdoor activities.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
