The leather kind of shoes is much more comfortable and flexible, especially at
lower altitudes. There are commercial waterproofing confounds. There should be
at least two layers of protection between the boots and your feet. You may
consider use a synthetic sock for carrying moisture away from my feet and a
synthetic/wool mixture for the outer sock for warmth and cushioning. You may
want to add another sock the outer layer for additional warmth. It is
recommended some form of waterproofing but I don't think plastic boots are
necessary at 6000 meters.People have been walking in leather shoes on the snow.
The only safety and health considerations would be if the boots are waterproofed
(waxes or oils will keep your feet from getting wet and exacerbating
hypothermia), or the tred is sufficient to prevent slips and falls (the
number-one cause of death and injury in the outdoors - bar none).There is an old
recipe for waterproofing using bees wax and petroleum jelly melted together in
equal parts and rubbed vigorously into a warmed shoe or boot (it softens the
hands at the same time). You will need to dry and heat shoes and boots on the
open door of an oven, heated to about 200 degrees. When the boots were dry and
hot, they would brush Neat's-foot Oil into the pores of the leather. It is
called the weekly shoe-bake.There are a lot of good commercial waterproofs for
boots that work as well. Snow Seal is one that was produced out west in the U.S.
and works pretty well waterproofing they advise. It's be either silicone, a
polymer, or some sort of organic oil or wax. Clean the boots, let them dry, and
apply the waterproofing according to instructions provided with the
product.There are important advices on products & methods of waterproofing a
tent. The best suggestion is to go to a camping store and buy commercial seam
sealer and waterproofing supplies. A lot can depend on the type of fabric and
where it is leaking.If your tent is leaking around the seams, this is because
there are tiny pin holes in and around the seam created by the sowing process.
If this is the case, seam sealer alone will probably do the trick. Seam sealer
can come in two types, seam tape or liquid seam sealer. A urethane-based seam
sealer is better because it is more flexible in cold temperatures and creates a
better bond with the tent fabric. A disadvantage is that it is messier to use
than tape.If the fabric itself is leaking you can get a silicone-based water
repellent treatment for all kinds of tent and tarp fabrics. Most pretreated
tents come from the factory with the coating on the inside. If you touch the
inside of the tent with your fingers, the oils on your fingers can react with
the treatment causing it to become less effective. Spraying it on the outside
can help by preventing the material from absorbing water, causing it to be
lighter when carrying a wet tent. Products with UV treatment can slow fading and
reduce fabric degradation from harmful UV rays.Just make sure that you get the
right product for the fabric of your tent. If you wanted to make your own you
just need a substance that doesn't mix with water. Some items that you could use
includes...Lanolin - boil some sheep's wool and scrape the oil of the top. Do
you have any sheep? This is flammable.Coal Tar - Heat powered coal over a fire
in a metal container and collect the liquid evaporating from the heated coal
with a pipe leading from the container into a series of bottles. This is
creosote and is used to waterproof railroad ties. This is very flammable.Beeswax
- You can buy this or raise bees. This is quite flammable.Flax - Can be taken
from the fleshy flax leaves, just underneath the tough skin. Not real flammable
but will burn.Victor Epand is an expert consultant for

Beautiful Skin Finding a suitable skin care regimen is like solving a math
problem. You need to know what the problem is before deciding on the appropriate
tools. Instead of going into the pharmacy and buying everything in the section
that looks nice, it's perhaps better to get an overall sense of what your needs
are based on where you are skin-wise, and where you'd like to be. One way to do
this is to seek the guidance of a dermatologist who can help you plan a worthy
regimen for you to follow. However here are 7 basic concepts to keep in mind in
dealing with your skin care issues. 1. Try to use natural or organic products
whenever possible. 2. Look for DSR (Dermal Surface Renewal technology), which
assists in soothing out the age lines, crows feet, and general dullness. 3. Try
finding products that have regisomes. These have qualities, among other things,
to help rejuvenate your skin while sleeping. 4. Seek out products that contain
Proteo-C as well as Proflavonol-T which offer protection from aging as a result
of exposure to elements such as sun, pollution, and the overall environment. 5.
When possible, use products that are free from pareben. Researchers are starting
to find that parebens are found in benign as well as malignant human breast
tumors. Parebens are found in many products used in daily living from soaps and
shampoos. And though there is always debate in the medical community, it's
better to avoid certain ingredients. 6. Drink plenty of that good fashioned
H-2-0 or water. This will hydrate your skin and hair and get rid of toxins out
of your body. Drink plenty of water! Water hydrates skin and hair as well as
flushes toxins out of the body. 7. Reduce stress! Do yoga, go jogging, take a
time management course or whatever to help manage stress levels more
efficiently. This will serve all areas of your life, not least of which your
skin. Following these general guidelines can save you time and money, as well
as provide you with a personalized regimen that you can "set and forget", and
get on with the rest of your life. About the Author Beauty is skin deep, but it
