Článek ukazuje, jak nám zdánlivě jednoduché přístupy a nástroje založené na fyzikálních a chemických principech a poznatcích umožní přežít v nehostinných podmínkách mimo civilizaci. obecné úvahy jsou ilustrovány konkrétními příklady - rozděláváním ohně, čištěním a dezinfekcí vody atp., This article deals with using physics and chemistry to make possible our survival in the wilderness. Contemporary physics and chemistry is responsible for progress in the field of outdoor pursuits. Outdoor equipment and skills have become high-tech. Thus, use of basic physical and chemical principles in outdoor activities is now often overlooked although they can be of great use at moments when we lose technological superiority because of unexpected situations and events at extreme conditions. Then we are forced to improvise. Usefulness of applying physical and chemical principles is demonstrated on flame-resistant fiberglass wick, simple lighters, thermos used for cooking and sperilizing water, utilization electrolysis of brine for generating chlorine for water disinfection, use of PET bottles as simple pressurized filtration device for water purification, and so on., Ladislav Sieger., and Obsahuje bibliografii
This article provides a brief summary of initiatives to establish the National Park in 1963 and describes the first activities in its administration and the problems it faced under the impact of industrial pollution in the 1980s. In that time, it was put on the list of the 12 most endangered national parks in the world. In the 1990s the cooperation of the Dutch FACE Foundation with its fi nancial support, the University of Amster dam with its scientific expertise and the enthusiasm of the National Park working team gave rise to a restoration process, which is still going on to this day, bringing the park back to its position as one of the most valuable natural areas in the country. and Josef Fanta.
