Honestly, I waited longer than I probably should have cause I was scared to (all the horror stories Id heard about lye) once a few batches were done I had to laugh at myself for being so scared of it. As long as you take precaution and respect recipes it's pretty safe and fairly easy to do, the...
So on the topic of prepardness and its many forms~
Housespouse n I were talking the other day about if a dire shtf situation occurred what would be good skills to know?

Have heard of waterproofing the bottom layer of Fabric (against the panties side) not sure what's used normally tho. Wouldn't the wax get mayby crinkly?.? Think I've got an internet search to do cause now am curious lol
I dont really have easy access to fresh lichen in the desert here, aside from mayby Michael's or internet stores (dried out :( )so sadly haven't done any litchen dyes but it sounds like fun! I'd like to do different fungi at some point~
Switched to cloth pads about 2 years ago, I dont ever want to go back if I can! Tmi moment mayby but went from feeling like I wore soggy diapers to almost forgetting their there and i dont get that weird inner thigh rash from the plasticky wings anymore plus I feel the cloth ones hold smell...
If your not against it making bar soap is a nice replacement, the household here like a recipe I make called 'almost Castile' so much it's pretty much replaced all body and handwash soaps. its olive oil, water, lye and castor oil. but if I'm feeling fancy I'll add extras, did kaolin clay and...

If its cotton or animal fiber koolaid is pretty colorfast! I use vinegar as the mordant :) (I've only dyed sheep wool so far)
Turmeric has got to be one of my favorite natural dyes so far, hibiscus I've found can be blah, needs more material than I'm willing to use lol, for a reddish/rose...
I've been trying to start a similar binder here! Most of it's currently recipes tho lol
I agree! Anyway we could convince you for some wisdom from those pages?.? ;)
Some things that I've had good thought on while on the long disappearance lol
While their not "foodstuff" right away it wouldn't hurt to have some packs of seeds in the storage areas, if it's a long haul situation having at least some would be good
Corn, beans, squash, pumpkins, cabbage. All...
I've had that problem with just about every diet I've tried, stick to em for over a year, see no results. Keto is the only one I saw results for but I ended up stalling after about a 20 lb weightloss and having fund issues to keep up with the amount of (easy) keto friendly foods we needed for...
Hello hello Denim Deb! :) what about a gopro camera?.? My pops has one that can strap to shoulders, neck, helmet and bike. Their usually waterproof and pretty darn indestructible. Only real concern is making sure the battery stays charged for the most part lol
Thank you:) sweet! It's cool seeing so manynon keto having awesome results! I've never had borscht, but want to try it someday what should I expect flavorwise?.? Ooooh a donut sounds pretty tasty actually, though I know soon as I have 2 bites my brain ll be like uhm excuse me? This does...
