Before heading off on a hike or camping trip I would be looking at the climate expected for that region at the time of year I am heading out and preparing accordingly. I would make sure that I have both paper versions as well as electronic versions of the area map and look at what type of animal interactions are common in that region. I would also make sure I had the right gear for the trip and enough resources either with me or available in the area to make sure my trip is successful.

I think the most important piece of gear to carry with you into the outdoors is a good bushcraft blade . There are many trains of thought as to what works best but I will always go for a 6”, full tang blade with a reputable company such as MoraKnives. You can take care of all of the rest of your basic needs more easily with a sharp blade.

How do you actually know if you're in love?
I (23 M) have been dating this guy (24 M) for several months now and things have been going great. He’s really sweet and funny and kind and I definitely like him a lot, butttt I’m not sure if what I’m feeling is love love or just infatuation. Sometimes I think I love him and am ready to take our relationship to the next level, but other times I’m on the fence. Anyone have any advice? How do you know if you’re “really” in love with someone? What are the signs? Any advice would be appreciated!

What are the best tips or strategies to win at slots?
Hello, wikiHow! I’m a budding casino enthusiast and while I certainly know there are strategies and tactics you can use to win at something like Blackjack or Poker, how do you win at slot machines? Is there any kind of rhyme or reason to slots? I’m assuming there might not be, but the people who are into slots seem really into slots, so maybe they know something I don’t? Any tricks to win?
