I’m sure I’ve told you my joke with milkweed in it. It ends up with a reference to pussy willow.
Never mind. Wrong crowd.

Neat-I wonder who figured that out? Maybe PFD existed 100's of years ago? Probably not. I seen no Vikings or other groups wearing them.

I've read a few stories about Native Americans using milkweed as insulation as well. Clothing, etc.
