Are there any outdoor brands that don't use poison like gore-tex or their own in-house poison? Fjallraven is the only thing I could find but they still use basically plastic clothing only too
>>2861096brugly if you're that deep in the rabbithole you need to be living in a cave in the high sierras getting water by hand from a seasonal creek. otherwise there's pollutants and carcinogens in every thing. wake up. welcome to the game.
>>2861100alright fine i guess fjallraven it is
>>2861096Are you talking about membranes in general? What's the problem with those? Please let me in on your hallucinations.
>>2861120gore-tex unironically gives you cancer just being near it even if you aren't wearing iti want whatever they used before gore-tex and polymers like that existed
>>2861096>poisonYeeeaaaah.We have a wool thread active and we have natural material threads every now and then. You can easily fashion a viable outfit of wool and cotton. Rain protection is the biggest problem, but you can either deal with the weight of a waxed cotton shell or wear a plastic poncho. These things are just polyester and polyurethane, no goretex, no impregnations.
>>2861122they used beeswax, melt it and add it. look for a tutorial on youtube
>>2861645Waxed cotton is early modern/modern. Before that, and still after, they used wool coaks.
>>2861672he asked what they used before gortex (and other ptfe coatings), so basically hes asking what they did in the early 1900s. they used beeswax
>>2861645that's if you can get your hands on something natural to cover in beeswax
