    Trappers/Hunters Tent

    Thats the really bad thing. I bought it in the fall and kept it in storage till spring, set it up once just to see how well it would go up, took it down and put it back into storage. Then I found out I couldn't use it and it has never been out of the storage tub since. I really can not say how...

    Trappers/Hunters Tent

    My experience; Be sure that all the events you want to attend will allow a Hunter tent in. I have been flat out turned away because of the lack of documentation for any use of this style of tent earlier than 1820. Most of the events I attend have a 1790 cut off and disqualified me as a...

    A Brazier query

    Ron, I have one like you are describing and when I am camping I have a large cast iron skillet that will fit over the top. It lets enough air so the skillet does not get to hot and it really cooks eggs and potatoes real fine for a great breakfast.

    small hunting horn

    Yea ya' can. Put a coat of paste wax on the whole horn, let it dry and buff it a little, then do your scrimshaw. The wax will make the excess ink come off easier. Just use a clean cloth or paper towel. I does it all the time. Especially if I sell one at a show and the buyer wants me to add...

    TVM Late Lancaster Rifle

    I have 2 of Tennesee Valley Muzzleloading rifles (Matt and Toni Advance). One is a Lancaster and the other is a Virginian. Both are done very well in every aspect. They use siler or L&R locks, Longhammock barrels and the quality for the $$$ is terrific. I have nothing but good to say about Matt...

    Demonstration for students

    And God bless you for doing this. I do an event every spring through the Pa. Game Commission called Youth Field Day. It is very rewarding to see the kids get interested in this hobby and that things can actually be done without the assistance of department store, TV or some video game. If you...

    Progressive trouble firing

    If your rifle is new, drill out the touch hole to 5/64th inch. I had trouble with every flinter I own until I started drilling out the touch hole liner. Oh yeah, one more thing, get a touch hole liner with an allen wrench hole to take it out instead of a screwdriver slot and drill that one out.

    Homemade wedge tent

    Skunk, I really like your wedge tent, looks great. I don't want you to think I am stealing your post, I just wanted you to see mine also. I used 10 oz. canvas from Sherwin-Williams paint store and sealed it with 2 gallons of canvak from Cabela's. This is a 12 x 12 diamond with sewn on door flaps...

    American vs. English Walnut

    I would think that the way and length of time it was dried and the % of moisture it was taken to would have more impact on a piece of wood cracking and not the species.
