Crafty Gardener NZ<p>In today's blog post I processed another raw fleece, this time a Finn-Romney cross from "Random Farm" on Felt. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://moo.nz/@Tatjna" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Tatjna</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blog</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blogging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/crafting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crafting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/craftingblog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craftingblog</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/fleece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fleece</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/sheep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sheep</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.craftygardener.co.nz/?post_id=131&amp;title=random-farm-silvers-fleece-project---washing-and-storing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">craftygardener.co.nz/?post_id=</span><span class="invisible">131&amp;title=random-farm-silvers-fleece-project---washing-and-storing</span></a></p>
Richard Rathe<p>Pitching in the Cold ( <a href="https://c.im/tags/HammockCamping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HammockCamping</span></a> )</p><p>One advantage of sleeping in a <a href="https://c.im/tags/hammock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hammock</span></a> is it can be very cool in hotter weather. The flip side is it gets cold fast as the temperature drops. This is a big topic so I will just summarize the highlights here:</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SleepingBags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SleepingBags</span></a> give little protection from the cold when compressed by your body weight. This is why you need an insulating <a href="https://c.im/tags/pad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pad</span></a> when sleeping on the ground. Using a pad in a hammock is possible, but it can be very tricky. I've never gotten it to work myself.</p><p> Putting on More Clothing can help. I like to wear a <a href="https://c.im/tags/fleece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fleece</span></a> to bed (since it doesn't compress as much).</p><p> I had many cold nights before I invested in a simple <a href="https://c.im/tags/Underquilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Underquilt</span></a>. It is basically a blanket shaped like a taco. 😉 The goal is to suspend it under the hammock but not put much weight on it.</p><p> Since the part of the sleeping bag that you lie on adds very little, many serious hammock campers use an <a href="https://c.im/tags/Overquilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Overquilt</span></a>. These look like mummy-style sleeping bags with the opening in the back! You don't need much of a back if you are using a corresponding underquilt. This also makes them easier to get into! Overquilts generally have a collar that can be closed around your neck, but they do not have hoods, so wear a hat if your head gets cold easily!</p><p> If your fly is large enough, you can cut down on exposure to cold winds by wrapping the windward side under the hammock to make a sort of cocoon. This is very easy with a standard diamond-shaped fly.</p><p><a href="https://mdpaths.com/rrr/camping/hammocks/hammock_guide/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mdpaths.com/rrr/camping/hammoc</span><span class="invisible">ks/hammock_guide/index.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Hammocks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hammocks</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Camping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Camping</span></a></p>
Bruce MacDonald<p>It's beyond me how people thought they could slosh a quarter-billion dollars around south Minneapolis and environs without attracting attention. </p><p>But then, I evidently lack the creative thinking you see in This Modern World.</p><p>Dante, way back when, reserved the lowest circles for fraud, if you go in for that kind of literary flourish.</p><p>A prosecutor called it "The shame of Minnesota."
