    Whats Everybody Doing?

    Thanks for that. That sucks. Haven’t needed to buy a can of Goex in a couple years. I wonder how all the summer students working at historic sites around the country for Parks Canada are going to deal with this.

    MUST HAVE features on a possibles bag?

    Any pics of original bags with a buckle? I’ve not seen one. Probably 99% of the 18th and 19th century bags I’ve seen are of First Nations manufacture and are non adjustable.

    Bismuth shot questions

    I’ve found with bismuth you need to go a size up from lead to get the same performance Example I hunt rabbits and hares with #6 lead or #5 bismuth where non-toxic is required

    Best early "trade axe" commercially available?

    Are you looking for a trade axe or a tomahawk? The cold steel frontier is a great hawk, throw mine all the time. It’d fit the bill for a tomahawk but not a trade axe. My 2lb Biscayne trade axe by Jeff Miller complete with French regime stamps is a good representation of an 18th century trade...
