How do you keep your coffee warm until you drink it?- Miles Page

That's a great, topical question Miles! In my own experience, I’ve found that there are a couple good ways to go about this, depending on your circumstances, but I’ll just give you one. If you have the time and the materials, starting a small campfire and constructing a stick apparatus to hang your coffee from is an efficient way to keep your piping hot cup of joe piping hot until it's time to start sipping. If you’re on the go, you can get similar results from a camp stove. Whatever the case, be careful not to start a fire.


Sock, sock, shoe, shoe, or sock, shoe, sock, shoe?- Zoe Lee

Well Zoe, this is a real age old debate. Personally, I go sock, sock, shoe, shoe. Because this is my method, it is the only acceptable method. If a person covers their feet in a sock, shoe, sock, shoe manner, they should under no circumstances be trusted.


Is cereal a soup?- Sophia Bateman

Sophia, I’ve spent a long time thinking about this question and as much as I hate to say it, cereal is a soup. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines soup as, “a liquid food especially with a meat, fish, or vegetable stock as a base and often containing pieces of solid food.” Now, milk is, of course, not a type of stock in the traditional sense but I would posit that as it is a liquid which is made from cow it could, and should, be considered stock. Therefore, as much as it pains me, I have to say that cereal is now, has been, and always will be soup.
