How do you cut your hair? How does he shave? How does he cut his nails? All those things can primitively be done with a simple stone cutting tool, but it isn't a pleasant experience. If fact, it is rather painful. On the other hand, washing my hair with natural yucca leaf shampoo is easy and relaxing. Survival isn't just about being tough, it's about taking care of your tools. Your body and all parts of it are essential tools for survival and it all needs to be cared for in order to function at optimal levels. For about six years I've washed my hair with yucca leaves. I noticed significant positive changes in the health of my hair in scalp during this period. I have also cut my own hair during this time as well, thus saving money on haircuts. Are my haircuts the best? No. But nobody has ever suspected that I cut my own hair, so that's good enough for me. In this video I show exactly how I care for my hair in a completely natural environment. If you don't have access to yucca leaves, there are many other plant species with high levels of saponins that can be used instead of yucca. I encourage you to research what native plants exist in your area.
My favorite alternative to being barefoot are Luna Sandals.
