The Prepared Wild Forager

Sanitation

Survival Beauty?

Settlers

While bath and beauty may not be at the top of many's list, cleanliness will keep us healthy to continue the fight. In addition to our physical health, we need to address our emotional health. Do you know how to cut hair? Do you know how to color your hair without store bought products (yes, this is important to some)? Can you make soap? How about shampoo? What are your plans for cleanliness? These links are here to teach you to rely on yourself, your knowledge, and your abilities.

Some of these recipes span between Medicinal and Beauty, so they may be posted to both pages. Please keep in mind that many of these recipes came from all over this country and others. If you do not have, or are not able to get some of the ingredients, use what you can. Just keep in mind some of the ingredients are included for their particular properties. Study, and find a suitable replacement so the action remains the same.
