This made me think of that couple in Washington who choose to live like it's the Victorian era....

Thanks for sharing that!  I have never heard of someone doing that in real life...just the Victorian/frontier house type things on PBS.  Usually I'm a very live and let live person but the fact that they forgo safety and use kerosene space heaters freaks me out.  Quirky is fine, but ignoring progress in the areas of health or (in this case) safety is just reckless to me and I hope no one is ever harmed because they wanted to play make-believe.

And I am officially way too lazy to live that kind of life - can you imagine dealing with laundry and wool work out clothes?  

Not to be too argumentative, but I wear wool workout clothes all the time. Hot, cold, wool is amazing.

Wow - I wouldn't have even thought they'd make it now.  I'd have thought the new synthetic fabrics would have better wicking, but to me wool is so itchy clothing made out of steel wool seems more comfy so it's interesting that it could be comfortable enough to some for working out.

Smartwool & Icebreaker both have modern merino wool that is much nicer than the new synthetic stuff. The synthetics feel gross and they stink after a few wears. Wool insulates even when wet, so in my climate it works really well for me. And you don't have to wash wool as often because it doesn't really smell. Plus Icebreaker has this cool feature where you can trace your garment all the way back to the farm where the sheep was shorn.
