    The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger

    Just ran across this new show on Roku. Just one season so far dated 2024. The show is alot like Into The Wild Frontier but the episodes are really short and only about Bridger. Just watched the first episode. Seems like it might be a good one. When I first started watching it I thought it was...

    Buckskin shirt needed

    A friendly gentleman left me a message today. He has seen an add for my shop in Backwoodsman magazine and said he needs a buckskin shirt and wondered if that was one of the things I do. Also asked if I could point him in the right direction. Didn't get a chance to call him back today but I will...

    A Taste of History

    This is a show I found on our ROKU streaming service last year. If you're into 18th century lifestyle and cooking this is a good one. It is a chef, don't remember where he is from. Germany maybe... He goes to historic locations and cooks traditional food in HC ways. Right now I'm watching him...

    KY Pistol Ramrod Question

    I bought this little Jukar pistol off GB back in 2017. It's in good shape, very accurate, and reliable. Fired it many times with nary a misfire. There are two small holes drilled into the ramrod. It has baffled me the whole time wondering why. Anybody got an idea of the purpose of these two holes?

    FOR SALE CVA .32 Squirrel Rifle Barrel For Sale

    Howdy. I've got an in the white squirrel barrel for sale. I bought this about ten years ago and have never gotten around to building a rifle around it. It allegedly came from the Log Cabin Shop. It is new and ready to be finished. It's been sitting around my tack shop for a decade so there are...

    TC .56 Smoothbore Deal

    I know a few of you folks were expressing interest in a .56 SB recently. Just found one on GunBroker starting at, I think, $429 with no bids. Seller has it listed wrong. He put it up as a New Englander. Would have pasted the link here but I'm on my phone and don't know how. So go to GunBroker to...

    Barrel Rebore Question

    So I've got a junkyard Hawken I finished last year. Mostly built with CVA parts. Got the look I wanted and got it done for less than $150. Was looking at it today and decided two things. One, since I don't have much in it and, for my collection, it's a keeper, so I think I'm gonna put a new L&R...

    Two More Movies

    Here are a couple other good ones I found over the last year or so: Follow the River Alone Yet Not Alone There aren't tons of movies reflecting our hobby, and a guy can only watch Jeremiah Johnson so many times, so I scan the Roku late at night sometimes just looking for movies and shows...

    Song of Hiawatha

    Just stumbled across this movie on the Roku. A little far fetched and odd but still a pretty good flick. If you are hung up on total historical correctness, it may not be for you. For instance, pay no attention to how low Michael Rooker's haversack hangs. Just for kinda cheesy but scenic...

    .40 Cherokee

    Howdy fellers. Thinking about posting me beloved TC 40 with the Douglas barrel in the classified section. Found another I would rather have. Thought I would ask if there might be any interest before going to the trouble of taking pics and listing. Probably will be listed for 700.00ish shipped...

    Washington's Armor movie

    Stumbled across this 2022 movie on Roku the other night while the wife was snoozing. Excellent film including quite a bit of his exploits with Christopher Gist. If you saw the Gist episode of into the wild frontier, the same actor, Tim Perez Ross, played Gist in this movie. Very well worth watching.

    Pair of .54 Rifles

    Howdy all. I've always hunted deer with .50 and occasionally .45. I decided this year to go to .54 and try my luck with that. I've never had a problem with the other calibers, just wanted to bump up a notch. So I got on the dreaded gunbroker and scored a TC New Englander and an Investarms plains...

    Quick and Dirty Shrimp Soup

    Last night I got to the house too late to fix a real supper. Wife wasn’t feeling good so she just wanted a can of chicken noodle soup so I was left to my own desires for a meal. This is the easiest thing in the world to make if you want a quick, cheap, hardy dish that is packed with flavor. I...

    Kibler Colonial Lock Question

    Howdy. Would the lock on a colonial be considered small, medium, or large?

    New Sheath For An Old Knife

    A guy brought me an old classic hunting knife he found in a thrift store with no sheath. This guy always visits me at the farmer's market and wants me to make knives, sheaths, pouches, and whatever else he can think of. He handed me a piece of paper with a drawing on it in pencil and said to...

    WANTED CVA Squirrel Rifle in .45 (or other .45 half stock)

    Howdy folks. I might be in the market for a CVA Squirrel Rifle in .45 if anybody has one they might want to sell or trade. I didn't know they made those in .45 and .50 until recently when I saw one of each listed online for sale. At the time I didn't know I wanted one. If you have one you would...

    A few pics of some of my handmade stuff

    Howdy fellers. I've never posted any pictures of the stuff I make on here so thought I would share. Oddly enough, I'm not one to take a lot of pictures but I ran across a few on my laptop while looking for something else and thought I would put up a few. These are all old, and most of what I do...

    FOR SALE 12 Inch Pietta .44 Revolver For Sale

    Howdy. Here is another revolver I've owned for years and never shot. Don't know if it had been fired before I owned it but it is in fantastic shape. Looked freshly new when I purchased it. And I've never loaded or fired it. The brass got a little tarnished when I left it covered with some dyed...

    CVA Stock Question

    Howdy folks. Got a dumb question about CVA Bobcat stocks. I've got one my wife gave me way back in the 90's for Christmas. Got my first BP deer with it. I am going to upgrade it shortly to a CVA Plainsman wood stock. All the parts swap right over so, after a wood refinish, fake striping job, and...

    I bought this pistol in 2017 online, allegedly, never fired but out of the box. I don't know if that is true or not, but I haven't ever loaded or fired it. Been in the safe ever since except for those times I get it out and contemplate shooting it. I've handled it alot but never shot it. It...
