Not entirely true ..The fastest sunsets (and sunrises) occur at or near the equinoxes. And the slowest sunsets (and sunrises) occur at or near the solstices. It’s true whether you live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. And, by the way, when i say sunset here, im talking about the actual number of minutes it takes for the body of the sun to sink below the western horizon. It’s because, at every equinox, the sun rises due east and sets due west. That means(on the day of an equinox ) the setting sun hits the horizon at its steepest possible angle. So the 15 minute rule most likely is not going to apply :)

I was attacked once by an angry stray dog. I guess my survival instinct kicked in, because it was a matter of seconds - I took off my backpack and used it as shield to protect my face and chest. Every time the dog charged, it bit the backpack and tore it apart, but I was unharmed (help arrived eventually). Also, some years ago my country had a serious problem with stray dogs (you could see big packs even in the cities). They were aggressive and territorial, but they feared stones. So if you picked a stone and threw it towards them (or just pretended to throw it) there were big chances for the dogs to keep the distance.

If there is no dumpster, then aim for trees or heavy foliage/bush. Literally anything to avoid hitting the ground. Remember it's the landing that kills you, not the fall.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is a famous British polar explorer-he got frostbite when trekking across the ice and when he got back home, his fingertips had turned black and died off. He decided not to bother waiting for surgery, so he chopped off the dead bits himself in his shed with a vice and a saw.
