New and here to LEARN!!

[phantommeadow]

Hi - I'm Cindy. I am interested in learning all I can about both mountainman and pirate tools and weapons. I have a .44 cal. flintlock pistol I built from a kit and customized. It's gorgeous but I am afraid to fire it!!! I'm very much into survival, hence the interest in mountainman/woman skills. But am also intrigued with the romance of the pirate era. Would LOVE to meet anyone local to me - Western Washington state, who could help me learn now skills as well as partake in re-enactments with. I have an awesome horse who would be incredible in civil war re-enactments!!

Hi Cindy! Welcome aboard. :hatsoff:

My interest in survival is what got me involved with learning primitive skills also. It sure makes muzzleloading a lot more fun!

Thanks for the warm welcome, folks! I'm already hooked on muzzleloaders and black powder but only the old-time, old-style stuff. I really think I was born in the wrong century cuz I'm so drawn to the past. My dream is to live off the land permanently but more as a nomad mountain-person than a cabin-dweller although that would be wonderful as well and alot more comfortable.
