    On punk fire starting

    Some friends and I have been experimenting with fire starting useing material other than char cloth. Much has been said about punk, puffballs, tinder fungus etc, and we have yet to get anything to work like the char cloth. The problem doesn't seem to be catching the spark but transfering that...

    Using more than the meat?

    I was wondering how many of us use more than the meat from our hunting successes, and what those uses are. I will start with myself and you can add to the list of stuff. Please only what you personally have done. Tanned one deer hide, chrome tanned used into a farriers apron. Turned several...

    This years deer tale

    12/8/06 The final weekend to the deer season was about to begin and I had yet to provide venison for the family larder. The early portion of the season had been very rainy with slate gray sky for days on end. Even with the adverse weather, I hunted with my flintlock long rifle. Being just...

    wasp nest

    I have heard of guys using a piece of paper wasp nest over their powder to prevent burning patches. I just pulled a big nest off the side of the house and got to wondering. Any thoughts?

    Got one

    Took me all season long but I finally made meat yesterday. My .54 cal flintlock, that I have been using exclusively since day one, harvested a plump doe with just 2 days left of the season. Britches

    Time period for rifle?

    Ok, I know I've seen this question before but can't search well enough to get the answer. A friend is looking at a Dixie mountain rifle in flintlock. What time period would this rifle fit into? No ramrod thimble or nose cap and just a grease hole. I think it could past for Rev war era give...

    Looking for another flintlock help?

    I have a friend who is looking for a rifle. He is trying to get into reenacting and realized too late that his .54 GPR flint rifle wasn't what he really wanted. His primary interest is in the colonial era between the F and I war and 1800. Being a man of very limited means, he needs to move...

    Hunting method / Still hunting

    How many of you use this method of hunting? When the woods are quiet, with snow on the ground or wet or rainy conditions, still hunting is what I enjoy the most. It can be difficult but very rewarding when everything comes together. My latest buck was taken this way. How about it? What do...

    2nd buck with a flinter

    I got lucky again and found this guy while still hunting the edge of a small hemlock swamp. Shot at 30 yards, the .54 ball pushed by 70 grs of fffg hit him high in the shoulder and ruined the lungs. He still went about 75 yards before giving up the ghost. One buck tag filled in...

    Yesterday was the last day of the early muzzleloader season here in New Yorks northern zone and the first opportunity for me to hunt. This was to be my first outing with the new .54 Lancaster flintlock. I replaced the rock with a fresh piece of English flint and tested a few times to...

    Organizations

    punk

    When talking about fire starting, the subject of "punk" came up. Many use char cloth for their fire starting but there is some reference to punk and I don't know what that is or how it was used. Anybody know the low down on this stuff, how used, was it charred etc. Britches

    Patchbox contents
