  • I should also say, I'm not sure what kind of luggage you have, if you have a Hardcase, a hiking backpack, or a cloth military type bag. But you absolutely need to make sure that's clean before you put them back in. If it can be tossed in a dryer, that's ideal but if it's a hardcase or a case with any kind of liner that you can remove you're going to need to spray the fuck out of it and let it dry, then wipe it out, or Scrub it by hand in a bathroom. Don't sleep on pockets in that bag, or any of your shoes. This process sucks and you don't want to have to repeat it or contaminate your next place.

    I know you may not have access to a shower in between those loads of laundry but you're gonna feel a whole lot better if you can at least take a "truckstop bath" between swapping the contam and the heated clothes.

    Lastly, any item that you do have to toss. Please, please, sharpie bedbugs on it so nobody pulls it out of the trash and tries to re use.


  • Bedbugs are a bear to get rid of, you're not going to successfully get rid of bedbugs in a rental. Period. That being said, you and all of your belongings are now contaminated. High heat will nuke them on your clothing. So here's what you can do do decontam yourself and not bring them to the next place and not trash everything you own. Take all of your luggage and drop that in a garbage bag. Grab a can of bed bug spray for your shoes and head to a laundromat with some spare plastic bags.

    Remove one entire set of clothes. And throw them in a dryer on the highest setting or an hr. Take your shoes off and spray the fuck out of them outside. If you don't have a good spot to leave them to dry outdoors. Put them in a second bag and take them with you. Take the rest of your cloth belongings and toss them in a dryer on high for at least an hr. Throw away the bag, when the first set of clothes are dry and you're done handling any cloth that could be contaminated. Check through everything you own and make sure you spray down anything that cant be washed and that you're not missing any cloth items. Very carefully strip. Put your current clothes in a bag and, tie that fucker up tight. Set the contaminated bags far away from your current clothes and then nuke those in the dryer. This will get rid of them on your luggage and body. Bear in mind those Fuckers jump so be careful with the swaps. I have absolutely done this while homeless/on the road. It sucks but you don't actually have to throw everything you own away.

    The tomatoes on the far right is one of a million batches of cherry tomatoes, they got cut in half and dehydrated some of them canned for sundried tomatoes in olive oil with basil and garlic. SOme get vacuum packed for use throughout the winter. The tomatoes in the wooden crate are the big boys that got canned for crushed tomatoes. Not pictured but the same week was a massive batch of pickled banana peppers, a bunch of purple cabbage that got sour krouted, a half bushel of jalepenos for cowboy candy, and a bunch of hot peppers that got dehydrated. Gonna make the rest of the super hots into hot sauce.








  • I met a Hexbear in person once, they were DISGUSTING and VILE They smelled like beans and mushrooms and when I shook their hand they gave me a small rat and told me it was "one for the road".

    They had green skin like a goblin and had a shirt that said "Xi is my god".

    I didn't feel safe. Be careful out there, and lock your doors too because I hear they steal your passive income.





  • Nice! If they are the very thin Thai chilis, it might be too much hassle, but this method works with any green chilis. Traditionally, it's done over a fire but you can set the chilis directly on the stove burner.You want to blister and fully blacken the skin of the chili. From there, it goes directly into a zip lock or Tupperware container. You leave it sealed for 30 seconds or about a minute or so. The steam coming from the chilis in the container is enough where the skins peal right off no microwave or extra steps needed. You can do the same thing for roasted red peppers as well.
