    Looking for powder horn strap

    That might be a horn strap made by the Leatherman. He has a web site and sells from Dixon's and I believe TOW and a couple other places.

    Lyman GPR and pistol good starter kits?

    Nope, no Dremel stuff for this child. Years ago I worked with the local restoration group and learned some about traditional wood working with the original tools. My collection went the way of the divorce so it will be a re-building experience there too. I do need some info on what to include...

    Fish

    I fly fish for trout and keep a couple now and then. Just a basic pan fry in butter and olive oil. A friend gave me a load of blue fish and I've been baking that, wrapped in bacon with a lemon and onion sliced over top and some Hemmingway's kiwi champagne marinade. I wrap th whole mess up in...

    Venison Stew.

    I grow a huge garden each year, 100 ft by 100 ft and do all my own canning too. I have a couple pickling crocks going with sauerkraut in them. Each one is one of those newer German fermenting jobs and hold three gallons each. This coming season I'm going to try making parched and dried corn...

    Venison Stew.

    I've heard the milk soak method to remove the gaminess. I tenderize with a flat mallet or a jaquard, multiple tiny razor blades in a push handle. I coat my venison in a bag of flour, salt, pepper, parsley, sage, thyme, tarragon, and marjoram. I then saute it in a mix of butter and olive oil...

    Toothpick in vent when loading

    Aw, porcupines ain't that bad. Me and a bunch of guys went cross mountain in search of food and drink a couple of month ago and say about 20 or thirty on the "road". We stopped and jumped out for one and I hit him over the back with my hat harvesting a whole lot of quills. Almost convinced...

    Whiskey or Rum cask question..

    I dunno, looks like an end band is missing from the pics. That may make the "swelling with water" thing not work too well. My old neighbor was a cooper at a distillery around here and just passed on at 99. I have all his old coopers tools, planes and stuff. If it were mine, I'd pop the one...

    Gettysburg, PA area

    The ride's worth it if for no other reason than to chew the fat with Chuck. Also, you could stop at Cabellas and see a store that is too big. Every time I go there I need to ask for map and compass coordinates to find what I'm looking for.
