[@UniversalDirt]

Enjoyed the Alaska moments. Also, the fade from the latter one to the main story thread.

More Alaska clips to come (eventually).

Is it baking soda, not baking powder?

[@teatimewithja]

You are right. I used baking soda, but said powder.

[@Kth376]

Is this the same for leather cowboy boots?

[@teatimewithja]

I do not have experience with mildew in leather boots, but I have heard that pure vinegar can dry out leather.

I don't understand why he didn't just waterproof them in the first place.

[@teatimewithja]

The Cloudrock Waterproof from On are advertised as waterproof boots, and they were close to new. I learned very quickly that the permafrost in northern Alaska maintain a LOT of surface water that is unavoidable. Add to that many days of rain plus multiple knee-high river crossings, "waterproof" did not do much good, other than keeping my boots from drying quickly..

I'll take the converse

[@teatimewithja]

I used to wear converse a LONG time ago, but if you are looking at the other shoes on the shelf, those are actually Clarks.

[@Toofargonetosave]

@@teatimewithja oh?

[@Toofargonetosave]

@@teatimewithja I just saw the fire and I'm like, don't even think about it. Because the chances are you might accidentally burn the shoes and burning rubber is actually illegal

[@teatimewithja]

Ha. It is definitely a risk. But after a week of wet feet, you can get a little desperate. I strong recommend keeping a close eye (and hand) on shoes near an open fire.

@@teatimewithja well, I'm not doing this. I can clean converse well without the fire and just shampoo and water
