    It was this, or the "wet nipples" thread.

    I heard that Lock 'n load in Edmonton carries it, but I have not checked it out yet.

    Primitive Rear Sight Photos

    I can verify this. A friend of mine has the cut down barrel from an old trade gun that they found in a field in southwestern Saskatchewan. It had a crude rear sight that was raised from the barrel with a chisel. The front sight was made in a similar fashion, presumably after the barrel was cut...

    clay pipes

    Okay, so not long ago there was a thread about clay pipes, where a member posted pics of hand rolled clay pipes that he had for sale. And for the life of me, I cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone know who that member might be? Thanks

    Mule Skin Leather

    It is very tough. Farriers aprons are often made from it. And saddle horn wraps.

    A salvaged blade

    It does not look like a military k-bar to me. The fuller is too long, the ricasso is indented in relation to the blade, it lacks the false edge on the clip point, and it has no military markings on the flat of the ricasso. It is similar to the k-bar in some ways. But then, the k-bar was similar...

    What gun would you.....

    Assuming the Canadian forests I know, probably a trade gun. Big enough, but not too big. And you could use shot or ball. And in addition to bringing snare wire, I would set up somewhere near a good big cattail patch. It would be important to find a supply of carbs which could be put up and...

    LMF Permalyn Finish, and Permalyn Sealer

    I tried a touch of LMF Permalyn Gun Stock Finish in the barrel channel of my GPR stock. It seems to darken the walnut up nicely. Can anyone tell me what this finish is made of, and how many coats one should use? I also have a can of Permalyn Sealer. Am I right in assuming that the finish goes...

    seasoning cast iron

    The best cast iron pans are usually old ones. And I'm sure they used mostly animal fats back in the old days.

    Lyman GPR Kit

    My GPR .54 flinter kit is laying dormant at the moment (stupid job :wink: ), but mine also has the problem of the tang inlet being too far back. I will probably try to glue in a sliver of scrap from the stock to fill it in. Unless someone has a better idea??

    Bannock / fry bread / voyageur bread...

    Actually, apparently it is. My wife was at Fort Edmonton Park on a field trip not long ago (she drives a school bus) and there was a native woman there making deep fried raisin bannock. She had some and said that it was amazing.

    Bannock / fry bread / voyageur bread...

    I bet it would also be good if instead of an 8th of an inch of grease, you put it in 8 INCHES of grease. :thumbsup:

    pemmican?

    Blueberries would probably be a good substitute for saskatoons as they taste quite a bit alike. But I'm just guessing here.

    pemmican?

    A lot of "trade pemmican" did not have berries in it, but the stuff that did commanded the highest price because it tasted better, and fended off scurvy.

    Bannock / fry bread / voyageur bread...

    Well, I ain't done yet. :grin: Another kind of unleavened flatbread used especially in the southwest was the humble tortilla, and nothing could be easier. Go and buy some masa harina (the brand name we find up here is called maseca). Mix with a pinch of salt, and water, press or pat them in...
