For the price of a paycheck or two, I wouldn't doubt that one could stockpile a lifetime supply of clothing (assuming only yourself here). <br /><br />You will easily, and quite often find high quality dress clothes made of wool at a small fraction of their original purchase price. You might look ridiculous walking around looking like a throwback out of the 19th century, but then again, who's really going to see you? <br /><br />Sometimes you will come across outdoor specific clothing. I saw a Pendleton wool shirt on my last trip down there, but it was not in my size. Assume that most of the wool clothing that you come across at such establishments is of the dress variety. You will need to determine a suitable way clean these often “dry clean only” garments.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-70064610926056781432015-04-09T21:12:42.931-07:002015-04-09T21:12:42.931-07:00I saw a really good article on curing pneumonia an...I saw a really good article on curing pneumonia and influenza using vitamin C James. There is a video, but also, if you read through the comments, it is mentioned that a good quality vitamin C in natural form (Rose hips) is a must. The doctor in the video cured his own pneumonia in a half an hour. These subjects were really overdosing on vitamin C to get the desired results, to the point of losing their bowels. But the curative results were positive.<br /><br />http://www.naturalhealth365.com/natural_cures/pneumonia.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-83897333272797148952015-04-09T17:23:40.036-07:002015-04-09T17:23:40.036-07:00We hit Urbania every 6-8 weeks or so and when that...We hit Urbania every 6-8 weeks or so and when that happens the Beretta Bobcat is at 4 o'clock inside the waistband in a pancake holster and 2 extra 8 rd mags visit the bandana.

I was going to suggest the vitamin C but you have that covered. Costco has cheap prices on vitamins (their kirkland brand). The kirkland mature multi vitamin is a knock off of Centrum silver at a lower price. Not the best vitamin around but a better mix than most. It would pay to take 2 per day rather than 1 as the amounts of the various vitamins in the pill is low. I don't know why most multi vitamins contain iron. The animal research show that iron supplements shorten lifespan.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />thAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-91166479081473849222015-04-09T08:35:01.466-07:002015-04-09T08:35:01.466-07:00Why not just be careful and use the hair clippers ...Why not just be careful and use the hair clippers on your face (without a guard)?

I use my hair clippers for my everyday shaving needs. Granted, I start off with a five-o'clock shadow, but that's generally good enough for my purposes. If I need smoother, then I go to my Gillette Fusion Power, but I only do that a couple times a month, so I only use a disposable blade cartridge or maybe two a year. What I particularly love about that model is that the blades do rinse very clean, so it shaves cleanly until it is truly dull.John D.

You can buy cheap many times, or you can buy good once. I'm most frugal with my time as I only have so much left and I don't intend to spend it buying shit all the time just to spend more time getting rid of the old rags.<br /><br />Boots, hikers with aggressive tread all the time, and almost always LL Bean. Again, built good and they last. I'm wearing 8 year old boots right now. Yes, the treads are worn smooth but today's rainy so I'll be indoors all day and tread isn't an issue. <br /><br />Socks. Duluth Trading, wool, $8 a pair. They last, and they work. At the end of the day you can wring a quart out of em. And they hold up good. My dogs are cloaked in a 6 year old pair right now that still feel as lustrous and thick as the day they were born. <br /><br />Underpants and shirts. Never. What's the point? Just more money and stuff to clean. No, I'm not rubbed raw, I'm used to it.<br /><br />Long pants and shirts. Only when it's lower than 20 degrees, otherwise it's shorts and t-shirts, all the time. (t shirts must have a pocket on the front and a picture on the back) Less money, less shit to clean. Long pants and sleeves are too restrictive and serve no purpose. If it's chilly, in the fall/spring, I wear a Lands End down vest with giant pockets. I can get a weeks worth of tools in each side pocket. Those vests will work down to 20 below, under that and I break out the big gunz, the Carhartt 620 (I think), feels like I'm wearing a house with that thing on. Can't get much done in it but it will keep you warm for hours. <br /><br />Speaking of pockets, they are mandatory for serious people.<br />Here's my Every Day Carry:<br />Left front pocket: keys, tactical folder knife, unserrated<br />Right front pocket: 1 AA LED flashlight, Bic lighter<br />Left rear pocket: 18x18 blue bandana<br />Right rear pocket: Bifold nylon wallet, Buck 112 folder knife.<br /><br />There ya go, with that shit I can survive and thrive anywhere on the planet for an indefinite period. Oh yeah, lots of know how and experience stored in that spherical file folder on top of my neck.ghostsniperhttp://www.upyerz.comnoreply@blogger.com
