    Cabela's Investarms .54 Caliber Wear Questions

    On a .54 caliber Cabela's Hawken, is there a way to tighten up the front wedge pin?

Not to the point of falling out but a ways to where it needs...

    Symbol on Canoe - any ideas??

    I picked up this little canoe from a lady here local. When I asked about the symbol on it, she shared that her dad painted that on there back in the mid 80's but unfortunately he had passed and she knew nothing about it. She shared that he was into muzzleloading/reenacting and sometimes he...

    Anyway to dye white canvas tan?

    For a few years now I've thought about trying to dye (or stain, I don't know..) my 12'x12' pyramid tent a tan or soft brown. I'm just wanting it to blend in a bit with surroundings instead of being stark white. Curious if anyone has done this type of thing or if it's just better left as is.

    Stove Location - 12x12 Pyramid

    I purchased a little cylinder stove (17"x10") to go in my 12x12 Pyramid tent. I'm leaning towards putting the stove hole in the middle back wall (still need to figure out how far up to put the stove jack)but I'm curious what others may have done and how much clearance you may have allowed...

    Squirrel Tail

    This weekend I ended up with a fresh squirrel (black)tail and I want to use it. Can I just hang it to dry or what's the best way to go about it? My concern with just hanging it to dry is the hair falling out over time.

    So what do you builders put on that blade??

    A fellow skinner and I were high up in the Rockies here a few weeks ago and I take out my knife to cook some elk steaks over an open fire. As we're sitting there, we noticed the "finish" on the tip of my blade starts to come off due to the heat of using it to turn the steaks. I thought I read...

    10x10 Pyramid - Big Enough??

    You fellas that own 10x10 pyramids, are they big enough for say two skinners and little bit of gear? I'm leaning towards a Panther with the tipi door, fly and floor. This would be for myself and my 9 year old son but plan to use this for many years to come and I'm concerned about outgrowing it...

    OK buckskinners, I'm in a slump and need your help please. For some reason this summer I am having a heck of a time getting my chared cloth to catch flame in my bird nest.

    Failed at Flint & Steel

    At a Mountain Man Walk this past weekend I failed :redface: at getting a fire started with flint and steel. We had to use material at hand for a birds nest and I tried to use what dry grass I could find (we've had a wet year for a change). After two tries of trying to get the lit char to burst...

    Trappers/Hunters Tent

    After several years of rendezvous in a diamond, I'm looking to go from a diamond to a Trapper's or Hunter's tent. Panther refer's to them as a Hunter's. I can't decide between a 7'x7' (seems small to me) or a 10'x10' which is the next size up. I know I want the tipi style door with a fly but...

    Tipi In The Wind

    A good friend of mine is putting plans together to "pack it in" and go live in a 14' tipi by himself for 2 years. It's been his plan for quite some time and he's looking to start later this year. He has a very detailed plan and knowing him he'll have no problems. The one thing we were...

    Things that make you think of hunting....

    I was visiting with another member of this forum in person about things you do thru out the year that make you think about hunting in the fall. For me it's when I make grilled sandwiches on the griddle because usually in camp that's what we have for lunch after the morning hunt. Or having...
