Speaking about clothes

[Guest guest]

Haribol

The red Indians in the desert south west made diapers of tree bark for

their infants. The little diapers were very soft and absorbent. The small

children wore no clothes till house trained. The Native Altus used polar bear

head fur, the babes did their dirty deeds, then the fur was placed outside to

freeze and the "dirt" and frozen liquid was just knocked off and the fur was

then clean and ready for reuse!

For your effort, my sympathy. The answer was Mahaprabhu will never joke with

a woman, not even with his own wife. Since He is the vedic culture

personified, it is non-vedic to adress jokingly a woman. I am sorry.

If you have a stream or river near by a chicken wire wrapped cylinder

with paddles on the out side so the current could turn it. and a rod through

the middle as an axis works. when i go sailing I just put my clothes in a

hot soapy solution and let it set till the water is cold and then place all

my clothes in a net bag tied to a stout rope and throw it over the side. Six

hours later I haul it in and declare it clean. If I have lots of fresh water

I wrince the clothes in fresh water first and dry in the sun as usual. You

can do the same if you live by the ocean just tie your laundry off and let

the tide wash it for you.

If you find financiers, Mauritius would be a lovely location for such a

workshop!

 

In hope.
