Wool rocks. As a river guide-in-training I used to wear old hand-me-down thrift store wool sweaters under my Farmer John wetsuit for the late spring/early summer runs. It smells a little funny when it’s wet, but nothing keeps you warmer!

Good point, Ken, although I should say that my problems with Gore-Tex in extreme situations (particularly when I lived in Alaska) surrounded the waterproofing failing at certain temperature/saturation points. Also, you almost never see Gore-Tex among cultures that live at or near the Arctic Circle. Same with fleece. Natural fibers just work better. Silk. Wool. Fur. Old-school.

I find myself in the strange position of somewhat defending technology. Gore Tex is not just about waterproofing but to allow moisture out as well, a trick that skin does much better. Gore Tex is an early technological emulation of skin.

Well, “Sally,” to protect all involved I won’t disclose the source of my finger-lickin’-and-re-lickin’-good-sockeye. And thanks Eric, always love a good ice cream recipe.

Here is a cool recipe for Ice Cream in a Bag
One gallon size freezer bag
one quart size freezer bag
one cup of half and half or ( organic goat milk?)
one cup of fresh or frozen fruit
two tea spoons of surgar or honey?
Mix ingredents in quart size bag and seal it up
Put it in the gallon size bag with ice and and cup of rock salt.
Wrap a towel around the bag and shake for 15 minutes. Take quart size bag out and rinse off bag and eat your homemade ice cream.
Have a great day Eric

I wonder if that’s who I think it is, who sent that salmon. Good, if so, because then I will be able to steal the peppers whenever he isn’t looking. heh heh.
