There is something remarkably appealing in this lifestyle and this culture. The authentic mini-communal life, the peace in their reality compared to the chaos in mine (American), and the brutal everyday life they live. I know it is difficult to prevent having an ethnocentric approach when exposed to other cultures, but the fact that there are videos like this, in which people are viewing, I hope, is a step toward more global understanding. .

Ya I find the simpler life more appealing too.. In fact I often fantasize about Just leaving everything behind and taking up a more straightforward lifestyle like these Nomads.

my felting hobby is getting out of control, I told hubby when he sees me doing this, it's time to sit me down and get it back under control. I said do you think we could drag a roll like this behind the truck? this video was nice to watch.

Although i think it's the pic as nobody in real life ever tried using that as a potential diss.

so, is that simple to make felt? Just, wool, a reedmat, hot water & beating, roll up and drag?
