    Washing Hudson Bay Blanket?

    It's wool. Treat it kindly. Any regular soap (dish or laundry) will do. Set your blanket in a tub of warm water with the soap. DO NOT AGGITATE OR SHOCK (hot to cold or cold to hot) IT. Let it sit 15-30 min in the warm bath. Gently squeeze to get the dirt out. Remove blanket from bath...

    Ticks / Sleeping / Tents

    It's a laundry booster. You can usually find it in the laundry soap section of the supermarket. It's in powdered form.

    Ticks / Sleeping / Tents

    We use washing soda - sprinkle over the ground inside and outside the lodge area before setting anything. With this method we've not been bothered by bugs or spiders that crawl up from the ground in our tipi. Flying insects are another matter. :grin: For them, the best we've found is Skeeter...

    camp kitchen

    I have to agree with Brett Sr. Put the things you want together and build your box around them. The first box I built was just a box. When I realized that I needed something to fit and carry the stuff I used, I did much better, and I've used that box for the last 10 years or so.It has a...

    Butchering to save hunting time

    Yep! Love my "sucky bag" machine. Makes a huge diference in how long things can be kept in the freezer. They're spendy (getting hard to find first born children to sell so I can buy more bags :wink:), but well worth it in the long run.

    Weirdest Animal You Ate

    Rocky Mtn oysters should not be tough - it's a matter of cooking them right. They're quite a bit of fussy work. Had skunk once; didn't notice it had much flavor of its own - it was burried in mushrooms (yum) and other flavors. Maybe that's the best way to have it :confused: ? There's lots of...

    What size Tipis?

    We had a 14' for several years and went to a 16' for more space. The two of us old geezers can set it up quite nicely. The only place we have to do the same thing together is the lift pole - otherwise, we each have our portion of the job and we don't argue about it. I HATE it when two good...

    swedish rusk

    In a quick google for "rusk bread" I came up with the following link that had a recipe for sweedish rusk. Looks fairly simple and you could use any type of bread that suits your fancy. http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1918,147168-250197,00.html There are many other food sites that may have...

    Wool Dye

    RIT is a commercial dye that you can buy in any five and dime - usually in the fabric dept. No, you don't (and probably shouldn't) let the wool dry before rinsing. Just be sure the temperature of the rinse water is about the temperature of the wool. Wool hates to be shocked (cold to hot, or...

    Wool Dye

    Depends on whether you use natural or acid dyes. I will assume, since you went to all the work, that you used natural dye of some sort. Natural dyes usually need be mordanted; alum is the safest and most common. Dissolve some alum in warm water, and presoak your wool article, then place it in...

    Dutch Oven cooking

    :) Made cheese soufle once in the DO. Tasted great, but didn't rise as high as I'd have liked. Sooo, I guess you can make just about anything in the DO as you can in your oven at home. Soaring Spirit -------------- Don't take life too seriously, it isn't permanent

    Mosquito nets

    As a theatre buff and having seen a number of scrims, I can tell you they aren't cheesecloth. They are denser as they have to be dense enough so that the actors can move behind them and not have the audience see they are moving. It is, however, a fairly loosely woven fabric, fairly light and...

    Reliable tipi

    Re: Spring Valley Al & Joyce (owners) have retired and are no longer making new lodges. :( They will, however, help you out if you have problems with, or questions about, one of their lodges. Last I heard, they were talking to someone to take it over, but I haven't heard any more than...

    Tent pegs

    I cut my pegs just above a branch notch and leave about a half inch of the branch on. I find the ropes stay on the pegs even in wind. When I pound them in, I pound them down to the branch end. ----------- Soaring Spirit Don't take life too seriously, it isn't permanent
