    Nevada; Lakes Crossing Muzzleloaders

    Lakes Crossing Muzzleloaders are still around. FB is where to contact them. I need to pay my dues. Not sure how the club is doing though, as their main shooting range looks like it is in the history books, and they are looking for new shooting places. They usually sponsor 3 'rondyvoos' each...

    Buckskins.

    So, are you intending to use real sinew or artificial sinew? Research is the key. Be absolutely certain that is the persona you will do and what that story might be. Will these be worn to a primitive-only get together, trekking, or rondyvoos? Many start their research downloading from the...

    Bells across the Land 4-9-15

    "Tolling a bell for 4 minutes is a long time" In rural areas of Mexico in Gro and Mich the church tolls bells often. Every 15 minutes 24/7. When someone important dies, they toll the bells for 36 hours at 100 rings a minute. They have a machine that does it now. I call it torture. I have...

    where to find Afred J. Miller writing

    Hi, In the book about Etienne Provost, Tykal (SP?) quotes Alfred Jacob Miller. He quotes AJM as depicting Etienne Provost shouting in French to end the day and picket the animals. Where can I find this and other comments from AJM? Also, are there other writings from the artists of the time...

    First time Elk ML hunter

    Wow, what a great set of advice. So, I went and ordered the 'Elknuts' calling video and 4 different mouth diaphragm cow calls. I was successful calling coyote and fox as a kid, but the calling video's on YT for Elk look a little different. Some tell me that most of the Elk you hear are really...

    First time Elk ML hunter

    I drew a cow tag and a spike bull tag in Nevada for this year. I intend to use a 'late lancaster' 36" conned barrel, iron mounted .54 flintlock modern reproduction. This for the regular rifle season. How important is it to get the 'no smell' type stuff? A stand at a water hole, or glassing...

    AJM Breakfast image iron meat skewer

    Thanks for the responses. That will give me something to consider. So, it looks like there was not a specific skewer of iron for the ribs. To add another question, we see many cooking fire tripods, but I don't recall any historic paintings/sketches with the two upright Y's and a cross beam...

    AJM Breakfast image iron meat skewer

    Hi, I am wanting to make on the forge an accurate reproduction of the tool used to skewer the ribs or other meat so that it could be driven into the ground near the fire while the cooking is done. Or at least something that provides the same functionality and looks appropriate. There is a poor...

    brain tanning without brain?

    I used Ivory soap. One thing to watch out for is to be sure no meat or fat is still attached to the hide. I used the 'wet' preparation method for scrapping the hides, and if I ever do it again, I want to try putting the hide on a frame and dry scraping before beginning the tanning process...

    Tipi

    Hi, Last year I was bitten with the "I must have a tipi" disease. I did lots of research in books, the lodgeowners group on Yahoo, and a friend who has lived in them, and is on his second tipi. I went with a 16' Shoshone style from sweetwater tipi's. The advice I got said for 3 people the 16'...
