    books on mountain men

    Is Johnston a reenactor? I am on my second book written by him and it reads like it's written by someone that is a reenactor. And yes it is fiction but I enjoy reading them, good entertainment.

    Accroutments found at thrift stores.

    I have found several very usauble items at thrift stores. In the past I have found a skinning knife, once I found a Hudson Bay blanket for three dollors. Recently I missed a pair of snowshoes that a woman picked up as I saw them and was headed for them.... You just know she was gonna hang them...

    Boot Knives At An Event.

    All I said was "things that make you go HMMMMM"..Apparently you know it is foolish to point firearms and pointy things at others. Otherwise you would not have gone off and written such a extensive reply. You can defend your foolish actions all you want, just as I can have an opinion. I've been...

    Boot Knives At An Event.

    :blah: :blah: :blah: Carrying weapons "unhistorically" or pointing weapons at each other. Anyone that lets another person point a weapon at them for fun is a moron. And I retract my statement about banning mock battles. My mistake, we need to cull the less bright from the herd...

    Boot Knives At An Event.

    First off, I don't carry a boot knife... AND I do not allow schmucks to point any kind of weapon at me. I do not do recreations of any battles, too many ********* out there...These reproduced historically correct firearms are capable of shooting projectile which makes them weapons. SO, Ya don't...

I have built a couple of guns and refinished several more..Just looking for sources that I may have overlooked and maybe open an interesting discussion. When researching these, I actually found interesting conversation about these being...

    European wall hangers

    Thanks for the correction always love to be corrected. That was my plan, to build a new pistol.. Got the stock, butt plate, trigger guard, "nose cap"... , so I need a barrel and a lock... Can't add pics as I can't figure out how and if I gotta go to photobucket or some nonsense it ain't worth...

    European wall hangers

    I got two "flintlock wall hangers" from my wifes father when he died. He retired from the navy and got these in Spain. They were made for the tourist trade and the barrels are cast or pop metal, they're crap and I am pretty sure the locks are pop metal. Only wall decoration. BUT I think I can...

    The Muzzleloading Forum is a great site with lots of knowledgeable people. DO I have a brazier and iron stuff, tripods, s hooks etc, yes, yes I do and I use them.

    LOTM

    While watching movies, such as Last of the Mohicans, the Patriot, the Mountainmen, do you pay attention to the "accuracy" of things. It drives Kat to tears when I point things out. The funny part of this, is that I do not look for these things, sometimes they just jump out. I watch these types...

    NMLRA Western Shoot

    I let my NMLRA membership lapse years ago. It appeared that it degenerated into a group of hard headed know-it-alls. I was a member of a local muzzloader club in Ohio. It was a good club, bought cases of powder and shared the savings, taught young new members. I moved to Colorado 5 years ago and...
