If you used it to wipe up a spill you wouldn’t have to wet it first, just throw it on the spill and it’ll soak up the liquid, then when it starts expanding from that you can use it to wipe more thoroughly.
Usually you’d have a bag for garbage that you can put it in. It mainly saves space to start with in your pack. You have other supplies like food and water which will be used up over the course of the hike, providing more space on the way back that wouldn’t be there at the start, so the towels expanding after use isn’t as much of a problem.
You already have to take water anyways even if you take regular wet wipes, and you should already be taking some extra water just in case. You don’t need as much water for these towels as wet wipes use, and in a lot of cases you can use water from the environment (like a river/stream/lake/rain/etc) so long as you’re not ingesting it or putting it on wounds, say if you’re using it to keep cool or clean yourself. You can also use excess water from what you already use for other stuff like if you’re washing dishes or washing your hands and so on. So you don’t really have to take more water than you would have anyway. Some hiking trails provide occasional stations with potable water as well, at least where I live, particularly if they’re near/around a campground.
Less weight and saves space. Note how in the post image it mentions they’re good for hiking, weight and space are a big thing when packing for hiking. They expand after use yeah, but you might not use all of them. So you have them just in case but still generally save space.
The cause of the extinction of megafauna in NA is actually quite debated, and while humans likely played a part it’s also likely that changing climates played a major part in their extinction as well. I may or may not have just had an Archaeology exam recently. This definitely does apply to bison though.
I mean sometimes they do know, they’re individuals after all with varying levels of knowledge and experience. If they say they don’t know I thank them and move on, but plenty of times they’ve been able to answer my questions. Seems a bit patronizing to assume that just because they work at a store like that it means they don’t know anything and can’t answer questions. I actually literally asked an employee a question about a plumbing fixture in a big box store recently and, shocker, they were knowledgeable and had the answer to my question.
Ublock is down there in the trenches battling face to face with the ads for our sake and you dare to insult them? Reader view would be disappointed in you.
I have that issue myself but I just use an add on or extension that unloads the tab when I’m not using it, or something like one tab where I can store tabs indefinitely “just in case” and ease my tab hoarding mind. Cause I don’t wanna bookmark the tabs, I prefer to use bookmarks for important links or ones I revisit regularly, I just often don’t know if I might need a tab one more time again in the future, or might plan to go back to it eventually, so I need a different method to manage it.
