[MR] Camping Safety Warning

[Rowanwald Central]

I was tipped off about this Consumer Reports article about the flammability
of cotton fabrics treated with liquid fabric softeners. Given our
predilection for natural fibres, I think you may want to be aware of this:

iderid=262&uid=30021651

(If the link doesn't wrap in your copy of the message, please go to the
Consumer Reports online page, scroll to the bottom left corner and find
"Consumer Interest". Below that, select "Product Safety", then scroll down
the list of items until you see "fabric softeners and fires".)

   If an ex-chatelaine may make suggestions, this would be a good bit of
info to incorporate into our "welcome to the SCA" spiel.


In service,

Nobility depends not on parentage or place of birth,
but on breadth of compassion and depth of loving-kindness.
If we would be noble, let us be great-hearted.
