You can use regular detergent to wash wool. There are products designed to wash wool...but the dr. bronner's sounds good to me, and any soap (or perhaps none at all), is Ok. I find merino wool less durable than thicker wools, but i don't think i've ever had anything kashmir long enough to...

my general wool-care is to wash it as infrequently as possible, and only if absolutely necessary. Otherwise, spot-clean as crude collects, hand wash and hang dry, or wash in a regular washer, cold cycle, and then hang dry. Always stretch the wool after you wash it, or it will usually shrink big...

I think Northface and MEC both suck for quality. Lots of quantity, and lots of fun to aquire though! ...err...i realise i don't have a brand to offer...let me put it this way...I've had a northface bag that did not keep me warm in summer, and every mec bag i've had is warm enough, but it's...

um, can someone introduce me? i think i'm in love?

Ho my goodness, my whole life has just been turned into one long giggle: There's a goat riding suicide! (this belongs under the categories: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, KIDS. SUPER CUTE. STUPER STOOPID. SUPER RAD. SUPER CRUEL. DINNER. TRAIN SEX. DIY YOGHURT.) ok, i mean, it's not like this has...

Home Oct.22 Coalition. Annual national day of protest to: "Stop police Brutality, Repression, and the Criminalization of a generation."

when i was a kid i adopted an adult hedgehog who had not been very well socialised. Mostly, it was active at night, or when no one was watching it. OTher than that it slept, and waking it up was dangerous. They have razor sharp teeth, possibly in rows like sharks. They are covered in quills...

I know that it can be really hard to be sure about this...but sometimes i think 'the pigs' are just confused, insecure people with a really shitty job. It should never be about the pigs vs the people. Cops are used for crowd control and also a diversion. When there's cops surrounding cops...

yeah, the thing with warts is that like any virus or illness, if yer stressed out or going through emotional transitions yer gonna start to notice symptoms, or have an outbreak. If you suddenly have a wart pop up, it can help to meditate, or just do some honest soul searching as part of...

whoa, those are some delicious looking photos! My advice for wart removal is DUCT TAPE. Once i had a plantar's wart that i left for a year or something, until it started to get really huge, and multiply. i also had a bunch of warts on my hands. Nothing worked, as far as i remember, except for...

i've spent entire summers in bare feet, without any shoes at all...but usually the forest will get my eventually, and leave uncomfortable stab marks in my foot, that require the use of boots for healing.

My dog chews on her claws when she's bored, especially the dew claws. I just tell her to cut it out, and she'll usually knock it off. If yer dog is scratching it's face, it's probably itchy or irritated. Also, i think covering a dog's ears on a noisy hwy or while riding is a really good idea...

when ever i'm not sure how to get somewhere, i usually take out my map and stare at all the endless possibilities. Then i get myself out of town via walking, and boom. Thumb goes up, get's sweaty, hard work, courteous thumb. Get's me here, get's me there. Don't give up, or feel dejected...

Yeah everyone!! Support the drug trade to the us!!! Light up in the name of peace!!

I've recently read that celery contains coumarins, which helps relieve migraines...juicing at least 4 stalks of celery, and drinking it at the onset of a migraine could relieve migraines within a half hour....i dunno, but it's worth a try. Coumarins cause uterine contractions, so large doses at...

all my shoes fall apart after about three months. I fucking love shoes...not walmart shoes though...an all around good shoe is gonna be leather, so your feet don't get wet, and can breathe...with a sole that has good tread, but soft enough that you can run in 'em, and your feet don't get sore...

I travel, and then i get a place, then get all unraveled and depressed, so then i go travel...only to start wanting to bake, grow gardens, feel like i belong to a community and learn...so i get a place, and the cycle continues. This is one huge world. I've never really fit into the drunk punk...

seems to be a trend: what trend? AHahahahhahaha. Ok wait a minute. I want to look around and ask what is the trend this post is about? Is it about the alarming number of crazy, butt ugly, masochistic traveler women in this world begging to get laid, while all these incredibly handsome...

I just read that in an ayurvedic book that at the onset of a migraine-during the 'aural' disturbance, before the pain begins, two tablespoons of ground ginger will stop it from developing. Except that it's possible the migraine will return later, in which case, drink the ginger again. In warm...

well, it's been said since humanity's first kiss: only time heals heartwrench, or at leasts softens the scar. i found that it can help to do a mental exercise to extract the soul fragment, you so loyally lent out. I guess it's woo woo, but i've just been heart wrenched, and all i gotta say, is...

well i don't get migraines, so this is just what i know i've heard. Migraines can be caused by an out of place jaw bone, and it can be relatively common. I had an experience once where lavender rubbed on the temples seemed to somewhat alleviate symptoms, and can be relaxing. Migraines could...

it's awesome when you flail your best gear on the ride that you're watching get farther and farther away, and yer miles and miles away from any corporate store that could be any fun to pilfer. It's even funnier when you still have the side bag full of the shit you were gonna ditch anyway...

The original poster said something about hiding the bike from the general public. In my experience this works well, however it is best if you lock up the bike as well as stash it. And by stashing it, i mean stashing it, not just locking it up in some secluded area. Most bike security people...

We live in a fucking capitalistic police state, where protesting is a priveledge, not a right. Everyone has their own way of trying to get their point across that another world is possible. If you've ever been to a protest, you'll notice that not everyone is a youth, and there are a lot of...

i'm not sure where you live, but vegetables, often in better condition than the ones you find in the grocery aisle, are generally abundant in dumpsters, or behind the store in a separate container. Check out small businesses, especially those that are fruit and vegetable market-ish. If you...

Wow! You are so smrt! Why haven't i ever thought of that? How about you? I pay in liquor, and a $1 per minute to cuddle on some cardboard after (I'll supply the cardboard). If you promise not to tell me you love me to try to weasel tips outta me, i'll let you chose the spot.

i find that when i start traveling with money, no matter where i am and how cautious i want to be about spending it, the more i have, the quicker it goes. I've been living off of an average of less than a dollar a day to my name for the past three months, but i'm heading out to travel now, and...

I've always wanted to have lots of sex in public places, but have never been with anyone cool enough to go for it. Or wait. Maybe i'm never with anyone cool at all. Or maybe, i'm just never with anyone, period.

well, i am someone who is generally heterosexual, and able to identify with my body's biological gender; however i can also appreciate the sexual beauty of my own kind, and have at certain rare times found myself more frequently turned on by people of my own gender. It happens all too rarely...

rat tat tat talk i traveled with two rats once, and when i had to keep them in one place, so they wouldn't run off, i kept them in a school backpack. They totally hated it, and when i would open the bag up to give them some water, or to let them out, they would jump out of the bag as fast as...

You can't take the future (or people you love) for granted...cause you simply never know.

everytime i scroll down the forum page, i read this thread as: who else wants to get laid? I guess that's just perspective though...ummm, yeah...aiming for a peice of that land, maybe it won't mean anything if there's ever a state of emergency or the gov't wants to mine the fuck out of it, but...

good luck with the not having a job part! Let me know how it works out!

A lot of army training is done in heavy boots, so maybe an army training forum might have the answer to your question. I also like to jog/run, and have the same problem myself right now. I have a pair of winter boots, and have ran in them a bit, but have been concerned about picking up a...

check out: Nomads United, Organic Multi-ethnic Mounted ProEarth Peace Legions They were/are a caravan traveling the world on horseback. Not sure if they're still going, but maybe they might be able to answer questions about traveling long distances by horseback. Horses are extremely expensive...

Here's some very bad advice and perhaps some not so bad advice: Break someone else's heart. Learn to fall in love with yerself. Keep yourself busy busy busy. Turn your love to hate. Don't let yourself wallow, but set yourself time to mourn your loss each day, and then redirect your thoughts...

Don't let everyone fool ya though. Hitch hiking totally sucks balls too, and can be just as irritating and tedious as the greyhound, but at least you can jump out of a shitty ride without fretting about the money you've spent. And there are a lot of people who would way rather ride a...

one time not too long ago, a greyhound picked me up when i was hitch hiking and took me 720 kilometres for free! i thought i was dreaming, cause when does that ever happen...but it was kind of like a nightmare, b/c the greyhound still sucks rocks, even when it's free! bring ear plugs and a...

hey, i'm not sure that vaginal orgasms are actually very common, but i think that kegel exercises practiced consistently can help in many ways by developing the muscles, control, blood flow and focus of that area. Use the muscles during sex and stimulation. Practicing energy work during sex...

i called and emailed my friend again. It is so hard to understand that it's over, and that somebody i love hates me so much. I have to let go. What makes it difficult to stop contacting this person, is in my mind, although i am doing the opposite of what would make them happy, they are still...

Does anyone know of any primitive skills group in montreal? someone said something about linking me to them once, but they didn't. I have been searching, found the email of some professor of some kind who ran a group, but the dude hasn't replied back to me...if anyone reads this post, and...

This post still continues to piss me off. Any type of rash can be caused by any number of things. It could be a fungal or yeast infection,it could be chafe, it could be caused by beng unclean and growing bacteria that cause irritation. It could be an allergy to fabric, soap or detergent. It...

Maintaining friendships and relationships (especially) when there's a geographical distance involved shouldn't be difficult, but sometimes peoples dirty issues come up, and the distance can make it difficult to make things work again. If you've just been dumped by a friend or lover, and are...

The best advice for anyone who wants to learn about any type of community, is to live the lifestyle for yourself, and experience it yourself. Only then will you have the business to write with any interest about what ever it is you want to do your story on. If you had spent any time reading...

this is a really old thread...but um, this is a perfect example of: go to the doctor! if you have a rash on your groins, you should go to the doctor, and get it checked out. I know it costs money if you don't have insurance, but something like this could have been herpes. I mean, I guess...

It's skunk mating season! If your dog has gotten a little too close to the ass end of a skunk, you might've heard all about tomato juice, but have you tried using hydrogen peroxide and baking soda? Before you get the dog wet, make a paste of: Baking Soda Liquid soap or vinegar or water or beer...
