How a campfire and microwave are examples of heat transfer through radiation?
- Standing next to a campfire you will be warmed by its radiant heat (IR radiation).
- However a microwave cooker generates heat by boiling water inside the food, then the steam heats the food by a combination of conduction and convection (not radiation). There is some trivial heating of the microwave cooker's walls by IR radiation from the hot food, but this is so trivial you will not be able to measure it and the steam from the food will still condense on the cold walls (which is transfer through convection and warm them more than the IR radiation did).
What are the pros of a baby sleeping bag vs a blanket?
Since babies like to be comfortable and well-wrapped, may of them enjoy the close comfort of being wrapped tightly in a blanket; a baby sleeping back offers the advantage of that tight wrapping without the inconvenience of the baby kicking it off, or the danger of the blanket getting caught on the child's face.

Can you whittle with any pocket knife?
Yes.
Locking or fixed blades are safer than folding blades. Sharp blades are simpler, and small blades allow for finer detail. Each knife you use will have it's own advantages, but many active carvers typically pick up a very nice chisel and X-acto tool set.

Remember not to leave your trash bag near you. If possible, bring it to a dumpster. Being attacked is highly unlikely unless it feels threatened or it's babies are threatened. Don't panic.
