If you don't want to wait that long try these easy steps:\n(note:  I do this all the time)\n\n1.  place between sheets of wax paper, leave space between them\n\n2.  now that you have them in the wax paper place them inside tin foil.\n\n3.  place in your preheated oven (200 degree or 250 in high altitudes) for 4 hours.\n\nRemove, and there you go.

No.  \n\n# Wash knitwear separately from other clothes to prevent friction against the yarn. Turn your sweater inside out.\n# Machine wash in the delicate cycle using warm water. We use cold water for everything!\n# Rinse in cold water - If you like, you can add a small amount of fabric softener to the final rinse.\n# Machine dry at a low temperature and remove promptly\n# Do not wring or iron. Do not hang your sweater. Fold it carefully.\n\n\nOr, you could maybe use Dryel or one of the other dryer dry clean products?

Most types can be washed but I would hang them to dry them.\nI have done some in thewasher on a lower speed and they came out great and clean too.

Believe it or not, But put them on the short cycle in the dishwasher. Make sure to use the top rack.Dont let them go on the drying cycle.

Add moisture to the air, boil a pan of water. Plus, a dryer sheet will help with the clothes.

Check out some books by Buckskinners. I do a lot of camp cooking with dried foods. You can make some very satisfying stews with dried soup mixes and jerky. If you're going to be out there a while, I would suggest learning how to make sour dough bread in that dutch oven though. You can also use it to bake most desserts.\n\nProbably the best suggestion I have though would be to find a book on the edible plants in the area you'll be camping in. Without refrigeration, fresh food is a boon. A good reference will also have natural spices, coffee and tea substitutes, and the like.\n\nHowever, I find that dried foods work out beautifully for extended camping trips as well. If you look around, you should be able to find a source for dried fruits and vegetables, or better still, invest in a dehydrator and prep your own stuff before you leave. If you're not a heavy eater, you can fit about a months worth (2 veg and 1 fruit serving for 3 meals a day)of dried fruits and veggies in a standard sized cooler that can either be eaten dry or reconstituted for cooking. It will also cut down on the weight of your gear considerably, especially if you get a larger cooler and take your potatos in a dehydrated form as well.\n\nFor me though, it just isn't camping without coffee. My favorite camp trick is to take dandelion roots and bake them until they are almost ash, and to use the remains as a coffee substitute with a little wild chicory.\n\nHave fun!

How about tea tree oil and apple cider vinegar

Freeze dry it. Start by flashfreezing in your favorite cryogen (such as liquid nitrogen) then put it in a vacuum chambger and wait a couple of days.\n\nFreeze drying does a nice job of preserving the structure of the material while getting rid of essentially all the water.

just something you use to dry plants and keep their distinguishable characteristics...\n\nall you need to do layout some newspaper on a hard flat surface and lay your plant down put newspaper on top (this absorbs the moisture so your plants won't mold) and then put something heavy on top and leave it be for about a week or two ..

The plant will want water that causes it to work the least.\nI'd say, then, that lukewarm (room temp.) is best.\nCold water must be warmed up, and hot water (damaging the plant, burning the roots...bad) must be cooled down.

I have heard that putting toothpaste on them works well.  I think it would probably have a drying effect.  You could just try a mud mask, those green mint ones, they sell at the store for about $2.50 a bottle.  That seems to work well for me!

If you are into herbal remedies, I'd suggest willow bark tea.    Really works wonders.  I don't know the recipe, otherwise I would give it to you, but it does work well.

How about some homemade trail mix?  Toasted oats with dried fruits and nuts.  It's so easy to make, it travels well, stores for a long time and you can customize it to your own liking.  Plus, I think it's a little bit more satisfying than a banana or an apple.  I like to be able to crunch down on something and get a bunch of flavors from it.

Aloe, or cold used tea bags - make a bowl of tea and let sit until cold, then wipe across the burn with a damp bag.

Old hillbilly saying: " there's more than ONE way to skin a cat! "...That being said here is ONE method.\n\nFirst, produce the juice itself, by squeezing, or by cooking and straining.\n\nOnce the juice is ready ' freeze dry ' it.  Place it in a freezer that has good air circulation and is 'frost free' ( Moisture is ported to the OUTSIDE )...Over a period of time, the water will be removed from the juice, in effect DRYING it.\n\nWhen the dried juice is ready, simply grind it to a powder, run it thru hot air until all residual moisture is removed, and store it, and package it in an airtight container.
