    American Mountain Men

    I began my buckskinning life some 27ish years ago. I spent a ton of money on tents, cots, cast iron and the like. Google wasn't a thing, and frankly, the good info just wasn't readily available easily. 5 years ago, I watched folks spend hours unloading from a trailer, to camp for 3 days. I began...

    wall tents

    Clyde nailed it! I been too many voos... never lost a thing. Thieves don't last long in a trappers camp. One skinner stays in camp if anyone wants to wander. Got hand signals for "strange flatlanders" that flash through camp. 10x10 diamond is a beautiful thing. Bullet

    Bee's wax and horns

    trust me, I'm no builder. Not even close. I was just thinkin... swish it around and let it seal. Then I wondered if the horn got to hot, would it melt, draw moisture, or make a big mess in the powder. I'm over thinkin. Brad

    Bee's wax and horns

    Ok, so I'm piddling with a horn. It's gutted and smoothed out. I'm preparing to do some scribe work to it. So as I ponder what I'm going to scrimshaw on it, I bee's waxed my canteen. OOPS, brain thought. If a horn had a weak spot or small holes, could it be filled with bee's wax? If...

    "The Revenant" DVD/Blu-Ray

    I had to see the movie since it's my era. Saw it twice AND added it to my collection of fur trade hollywood classics. BUT... the first flaw I saw, was ol Tom Hardy taking a piss and zipping up his buckskins??? oh well. Hugh Glass was a bad ass like all of them boys were back then...

    Natural dye for osnaburg shirt

    I can't quote chapter and verse, but black walnuts have been used for ages for dying. I have used them for canvas, linen and leather. Readily available here. I have also used mulberry and cone flowers for parfleche painting.

    oil tan leather

    Travis... they have full hides. The last one I bought was maybe 40 sq and I paid $90. There is a lesser oz hide, but I don't recall what it's called. Me personally, I won't buy leather I can't handle in person, unless someone I know is shopping for me.

    Natural dye for osnaburg shirt

    Me too. Plus the color naturally blends with the environment. Natures camo, if you will. And... the tannins on leather are a plus.

    oil tan leather

    Tandy often runs their Kodiak oil tanned leather 50% off. Great leather! I love it so much that it takes a few days for me to nerve up and cut it.

    Sasquatch shoots himself

    AMEN! there is so much more on TV to watch, instead of $$ initiated reality (which is scripted) shows. IMHO of course

    opinion's on .36 Pedersoli squirrelers?

    I will be in search of a .36 flinter, since every BP rifle I have has a twin in flint or percussion. I just happened to find the .36 percussion first. It's hard to pick between 2 purty wimmin at a dance...so to speak

    opinion's on .36 Pedersoli squirrelers?

    Sounds like the rifle I'm looking at. No patch box. I will "era" it up. I looked at the .32, and in all honesty, I have 3 skinners that have .36's and I plan on borrowing their ball molds. shhh. I know many aren't big on the imports, but I have an old Investarms Kentuckian that is rock solid...

    opinion's on .36 Pedersoli squirrelers?

    Hope this is the right forum spot. I have been shopping for .36 caliber squirrel rifles. There is no way I can afford a custom with a daughter in college so I have been looking hard at the Pedersoli. I looked at the Traditions version but it looked cheap (craftsmanship) Anyone have one that can...
