Survival Clothing What to Wear:

It would be great to know where we will be and what the temperature will be like when the SHTF. But that ain't a gonna happen and you can't carry everything for every little situation. Here are some things to consider as a general rule for the unexpected and the planned outing:

Wool vs Cotton: Wool is best for cold weather while cotton is best for warmer weather. Wool is a powerful insulator. In fact, it's the second-best natural insulator next to goose down. It also repels water and wicks moisture. The lanolin, with its antibacterial, antimicrobial and water repellant properties, can irritate skin and can't be removed simply through washing. It's more durable and more wrinkle-resistant than cotton and it hardly retains odors and stains. Cotton, on the other hand, is a warm-weather fabric. Like wool, cotton has moisture-wicking properties. But the difference between wool vs. cotton is that cotton is a light, breathable fabric that helps you stay cool in the summer. It also provides excellent protection against the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It's hypoallergenic, easy to care for, and affordable.

Survival Clothing Principles:

Your body helps regulate body temperature. Clothing should work WITH your body. Exercise can help keep you warm in the winter and hydration (water intake) will help keep you cool in the summer.

Bulky or tight clothing is bad for survival. Synthetic [lighter/thinner] "fabrics" may be better options.

What you have with you when SHTF will be your survival clothes. Keep your "survival" clothing near you at all times (in a bug-out bag that is WITH YOU).

Dress for the function, not the fashion/form; the proper clothing for the situation.

Dress to blend in with the environment (gray man).

fellas. fellas. listen. qui-gon does express affection towards obi-wan, he just does it in the divorced dad way.

that's his love language, despite never having been married, divorced or had a kid.

#having to be reminded the child need to be fed clothed and watered cause he survives off just tea? yeah. divorced dad behaviour. #no idea how to say i love you so just hands the child random trinkets (rocks) #forgetting how old the kid is and accidentally exposing them to or taking them along on adventures that they're definitely too young for #i do think obi wan mentions he likes one food when he's 13 and that's all qui gon feeds him forever #trust me i am the leading source on this my father has been divorced THREE TIMES #qui gon jinn #qui gon and obi wan #obi wan kenobi #star wars

#you #... #you... #Congrats with surviving... I hope it wasn't too bad... #We had something similar last year #We live in a kind of a distant village #And our streets are connected to one heating system #And it was so cold last year that this station just broke #Me and my sister have been without water electricity and heat first day *giggle* It was funny to wear 2 complects of cloths and jacket #It was... like... -14 inside of home? *giggle* #On the second day we at least got electricity back and got a little heater (We were separated from parents so the have been calling 3 #times per day XDD) We closed all doors to not let the heat outside #Since we got sick and couldn't take a shower #We were able to go to school but we looked like shit XDD #Then we were lying next 2 days like potatoes in one room with a heater... it felt awful XDD #They couldn't fix the main heating system for almost 3 days #It was... funny.... never want to experience the same again and hope you will not too

Masters of the Air behind-the-scenes

#period clothing + modern items never fails to make me laugh #stalag bucky and gale enjoying some starbucks is iconic FRRR #masters of the air #bucky egan #gale cleven #I need an AU where they take the tunnel in the stalag but it’s actually a wormhole to modern day #and they stumble out into the set of MoTA #and everyone is like Wow they are really staying in character #meanwhile they are desperately trying to figure out where the hell they are and why the B-17’s won’t start up #bonus points for agony when bucky and gale slowly realize that by swapping places with two actors named callum and austin #they’ve basically left two guys in the stalag who don’t have the skills to survive in there #and when barry makes references to funny stories that never happened with Bucky he realized that it’s not his life to live #and that he needs to give his place back to callum #and so despite making it out of the stalag Bucky and Gale agree to go back #sacrificing their freedom so that two strangers they’ve never met (callum and austin) can have their lives back #and holding hands they head back into hell

Wiping Away The Ash - “The Death of Me and Everything I Knew”

Part One!(you’re here) Part 2!(coming soon!)

Pretty much this is a comic I started working on back in May and got pretty attached to. A combined take of several story takes; retrograde amnesia, animatronic liberation as sentient beings with rights, the angst of thinking you’ve finally made it safe and sound only for your worst nightmare to return in full, and the exploratory look on how the dynamic has changed two individuals as sides of the same coin whom have grown and weathered hell together and come out stronger for it-into two sides of different coins, misaligned as they no longer click; one side weathered with the experiences it’s survived, and the other side wiped clean, having never remembered the hell they went through let alone healing from it. Oh, and the whole ‘falling in love all over again, remixed,’ too, of course. 💜

Lemme know what yall think as I work on part two! Feedback is much appreciated and a giant motivator💜

Sometimes, it gets me back home without being killed or seriously injured or even just called a slur so yeah it does.

every comment or post that I see yelling about sympathy, empathy, and reminding us that those people are humans with lives and families only makes me wish they're dead even harder. matter of fact, I hope they all suffer as much as possible and then go to hell and suffer even more. there

rip lucy and mina you would’ve loved farcille. rip marcille you would’ve loved westenray (falin lost interest and fell asleep before finishing the book)

#dracula #lucy westenra #mina harker #mina Murray #Westenray #dungeon meshi #farcille #marcille donato #falin touden #my post #dungeon meshi spoilers in tags: -> #something about it…………idk #childhood girl best friends #a blonde woman who everyone loves and idealizes #proposed to by one of her male friends. has expectations relating to marriage and who she should marry #she’s in peril pretty much immediately. everyone tries to save her but she dies. #she’s unnaturally brought back as a perversion of her former self: a cold blooded killer #the gang has to put her to rest. it’s for the best #luckily Falin is allowed more independence by surviving and having her own story rip #her best friend: an intelligent hard worker/teacher with some gender stuff going on #since iirc it’s possible that mina taught Lucy at some point? #and Marcille was a teacher/researcher at Falin’ s magic school #new women (derogatory) and ‘but those are men’s clothes!!’ #all affectionate ofc it makes them more interesting characters #who goes through a mini Dark Arc (vampire mina and dungeon lord marcille) #edit: okay more thoughts. I think that Falin would watch a play or movie and not think too much of it and marcille would go #NOO IT WASNT IN THE SPIRIT OF THE ORIGINAL BOOK!!! listen to the audiobook the adaptations ruin it!! #and Falin would enjoy it more like that

This post by @bladeofavernus got me thinking about Wyll struggling to maintain his clothes after being cast out, his last scraps of home. But I can absolutely see a detail like that playing into a Wyll/Astarion romance.

Like, it begins with Astarion watching Wyll absolutely massacring another of his shirts by trying to stitch over a hole or a rip, and he can see Wyll starting to get flustered. So he takes over with a dramatic sigh, shows Wyll how a master does it - lets him watch as he works.

Time passes - their relationship deepens - and Wyll starts to notice his stuff going missing night after night - a shirt or trousers or his sleepclothes, only to mysteriously reappear in his backpack. And when they reappear, they're tidy and repaired, with a new little embellishment.

By the time their journey comes to an end, whether Wyll is slipping on his shirt or his socks, his fingers brush a bit of embroidery, and he knows he's loved.

#we're talking henry viii/katherine of aragon level monograms on his clothes #like a W and an A interwoven together #little ravens and plum flowers #stylish blood droplets #maybe even a little mermaid tail #i just feel like astarion wouldnt be v vocal about his feelings #and thats such a big part of wyll #but stealing a shirt and stitching something lovely on the inside of the sleeve #taking a skill that for both of them came out of survival #and turning it into a declaration of love #i could never write bg3 fanfic but this got a hold on me i must say #wyllstarion #wyll ravengard #astarion #bg3 #baldur's gate 3

Shape do you ever think about soulfire and layers and the cold. I do... I do...

I didnt before but i sure am now!!

I was talking to someone irl a few days ago and they mentioned a headcanon where soulfire didn't have any winter clothes when they spawned in, but. they did have a lot of corpses with old, stained clothes. can you imagine? stripping the corpse of yourself to add just a few more seconds between yourself and the next respawn? caught in another death loop at that godforsaken spawn, and grateful for the fact that at least it means you'll be warmer, just a little. Imagine them all wrapped up in parts of bad's cloak- theyre hunted for the ferocity of their guard dog, but even his failures keep them warm. and now bad wears his snowgear as a cosmetic, marking him as one of theirs just as much as they are his.

and the armour... ohh, their armour. layers for warmth and layers for protection are different- I think at a certain point they dont need the warm layers, not the way they used to. but there is something in them that still equates warmth with protection. theres something about them building all of their armour sets underneath a lake of lava. willing to enchant their sets in safety, while molten rock drips slowly onto them from the ceiling above. they dont need their armour to stay warm, because their home will keep them warm for them.

and then the agreement to use no enchantments. their protection, their warmth- thrown away so quickly, almost eagerly. after all, soulfire knows how to handle the cold- and maybe some of them even miss it

#qsmp #qsmp team soulfire #mishapen answers #popcornsalty #can you Imagine the designs of them wearing scraps of each others' clothing #using pieces of those who have gone just to continue #even when those who are gone are their own selves #and then when they can make new clothes still keeping one or two scraps of the old ones #because theyre a mark of survival #of belonging #and they NEED those reminders in the howling night #eating maggots in the sand or digging digging digging or running thousands of blocks over and over just to loot another frozen corpse #because they need to keep going #anyway hi salty you um hi you unlocked the Brain Worms
