    On punk fire starting

    Good points and thank you all. I have used very thin pices of birch bark, after 2 days of rain, and used it as a tinder bundle that took to flame with the char cloth. I will keep trying. Britches

    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...

    Winter camp gang

    Yep, it were cold all right! Went to the woods mid-morning on Friday and returned afternoon on Sunday. Temps never above freezing, nights in the single numbers to the teens maybe. Snowed Friday night and continued off and on till we returned. Got about 8 inches on the ground during that...

    Using more than the meat?

    Rawhide is real easy. I soak the hide in a solution of slaked lime (hot) and water. After a few days the hair slips and can be scraped off with a dull knife. Turn hide over and scrap off and fat or meat. Clean both side as clean as you can get em. When done I just tack it flat to a wall...

    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...

    Monster NY Flinter buck!

    That looks like a fine young buck to me! You got a real nice rifle there too. Jack Patterson built her eh? He built mine as well and a better firelock cannot be found! We got a little something in common here, a Patterson flinter and venison harvested with it.

    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...

    what is everyone shooting

    Used to carry a Traditions 50 cal half stock percussion that I built from a kit. Switched to a 54 cal Lyman GPR. Switched again to my custom built 54 cal flintlock long rifle.

    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?

    wet load

    I have found that it takes a suprisingly small obstruction in the nipple to stop it from firing the rifle. From a stored rifle I always wiped the bore out with a clean dry patch. But the most important thing was to snap a cap before loading! I would step outside and do this while holding the...
