Wool mind-dump, sans edit
Folks often asking for survival advice. Invest in wool. Top to bottom. Not cotton. Wool. Wool is undisputed King for most things that matter.
Downside of wool is more money up front. But materials like cotton synthetics are expenses. Wool more edges toward investment.
Guaranteed some folks reading this are wearing wool from their parents or grandparents and it’s as good now as it was fifty years ago. I guarantee someone reading this has an old wool blanket over a century old that is good as new. Cotton…no chance.
I wear a pair of smart wool socks now to the point that I wonder if they ever will wear out. Quality wool socks are FAR more comfortable than cotton. Not even in same class. After you wear truly nice wool socks you look at cotton socks as if wrapping your feet in newspapers.
I sleep in a thin wool shirt and wear wool almost daily in summer and winter.
Army saying: COTTON KILLS. I was in 10th Special Forces Group. Huge amounts of cold weather training. We never took cotton to the field other than bandages. We were issued mostly synthetics, though, like Polypropylene. I’ve worn all that stuff a lot, and wool…am sticking with wool.
I’ve been to a lot of cold weather places such as walked to Mt. Everest twice, lived in Poland, and other cold places for years, and I also spend much time in jungles and deserts. GO WOOL.
100% wool. Not X% this and x% that. 100% wool. You will thank me five years from now. But you must study a bit on how to use and care for your wool. Treat your wool with respect like it’s a little sheep with you. Know how to use it…you gonna be happy. Wool blankets, socks, underwear. Get it.
We soon will begin some rough times and so if you have the right clothing you can check that off. Your quality wool is not going to fall apart like cotton. Also is flame retardant.
I called my friend Matt in Panama this morning and we were talking about wool for next Darien Gap recon. Matt said it’s raining more, and cooler now than usual. Might be due to Tonga eruption. Don’t know.
Matt mentioned an old-timer he used to spearfish with. Said the old-timer — before wetsuits — said they would use wool as their wetsuits and they stayed warm.
Interesting that pharma-scientists pretend they are masters of the universe with vaccines. They are lying or naive. So they say they can snap their fingers and make sophisticated ‘vaccines,’ but after centuries nobody can be wool. You could become fantastically rich if you could beat wool
Anyone who could make a material as cheap as cotton but with the qualities of wool could become a billionaire very quickly. They cannot even beat the simple wool made by sheep and ox but pretend they can print human organs. It’s a scam.
Beat wool and I will be impressed.
Many people think about wool as for cold only. Untrue. Wool can be very good in warm weather. Wool can be superior to cotton even in hot weather. Wool is King. Invest it in now. You will be happy. Cotton is an expense. Quality wool becomes part of the family property.
I found this random video for some comparisons. Wool has other very good qualities not mentioned here. Again, biggest downside to wool is upfront investment. Cotton and the synthetics are expenses. (Down is great, too, but that is another story).
Get wool.
Its hard to find 100% wool nowadays. Has to be small company American or European.

Merino is the best for skin contact wool clothing.
