[jeanswithatwist]

dh thinks i am mad but i am well read on the subject, not something i advertise. i stock pile too......mountain house, etc. big secret, dh sworn to secrecy....this will make for some interesting reading. only know about this new section (is it new?) as someone on aibu was asking what prepping was

I suspect that if we have any extended Troubles, some young men are going to receive one heck of a shock about female body hair. (I don't think that some of them actually realize we have it in all the places that we do!)

I'm hoping that I scare any hostiles away with my full beard

Agh-I hadn't thought about my hair, which would be - I don't know 50% grey? - if I couldn't visit my lovely hairdresser.

Hair dye, on the list.

I think researching the best plants as alternative dyes could be a useful research project to add to my list....

And how to make a tweezers from 2 slivers of bamboo and some wire...

Mascara though, I suspect that one may require pre-gathered supplies in bulk - unless a particularly good type of wavy grass can be found, and suitable black/brown mud that can be caked in some way to prevent smearing.

Recipe for home made mascara.

Threading or sugaring would be the way to go I reckon. Or a guess just keep your razor in good nick ;)

You'll all be doing well if you manage to find time and inclination to run a brush or comb through your hair! (Which reaches a sort of stasis after several days by the way - that's condition wise and not colour wise.)

• several days of not washing

Sorry.

Does it, what happens to the disgusting grease that's already there?

No idea. (I had this acquaintance at university.............She looked quite normal.)

I just know from camping what a relief it is to feel a bit clean, so while that wouldn't be the first priority, I'd still like to keep it if possible. Again, I'm planning for a few days without power etc as opposed to the zombie apocalypse!

On that note there are these shampoo caps which look quite easy

Well everyone, Bambi just wandered up to the copse in front of my house and all I could think about was how useful it would be in a survival situation if I just had that bow and arrow.

Ha ha, lucky old Bambi! Sounds like he had a narrow squeak.

It's windy here, and I am desperately hoping for a power cut to test my prepping out on.
