<DIV>Hi Guys, I was looking at the newspaper today. It had a picture of our Special Forces guys on horseback. What a kick in the pants. Here are our highest trained warriors on horseback. I can't wait until they hit the river country...I want to see a pic of our boys in canoes. hardtack</DIV>

Wynn,
Last year I used the Red Devile lye to buck my braintan project. It worked like a charm, but I can tell you that one skin in a 5 gallon bucket will require a lot of stirring and "refolding". If you can, go get one of these 18 gallon rubbermaid totes with a lid at wal-mart (about 4 bucks last time I got one). The stirring space and the lid are worth it.
NOW, to answer your question...put in as much as you'd like...just know that it will irritate you a LOT if the mix is too rich. I did a little digging at the braintan.com site and came up with the answer...it is pretty high up the list under a bucking question category. I think I used half a bottle to 8 gallons of H20. HOWEVER, if you can get hardwood ashes (esp. hickory) then use those...I found that it colors the hide and makes it easier to see where you have already scraped the grain and where you miss...Red Devil Lye does not. And any little bit of grain you miss will not soften well. If you do not have any hardwood ashes, make some!!! What better excuse to have your friends over for a whole-hog bbq? <VBG>
Good luck with your skins!!!

After this they went and brought their women and children, who, like the
other Indians, we ad seen, were all stark naked. At first they were
excessively shy of us. This shyness wore off, and in the course of the day
changed to and eager curiosity, to examine us and admiration of our red
flannel shirts, and the white skin under them: for little show of whiteness
was to be seen in our faces

Unfortunately, why are we perpetuating a very non documented item? Too many
turtles have given their lives for this item. [Image] There have been turtle
shells used for cups and bowls, but have not seen a one in the museums that was
made into a bag in the 18th or 19th. cent. But, have I ever seen them at
Rendezoux. [Image] Make the shell into a cup she can drink out of and make sure
you bleach it out real good. Then make her a leather pouch to hang from her
belt that will be more to "period" and I also do not mean one out of the fur
skins either.

I have been on this darned thing all night updating and trying to get rid of three diff. viruses. I do not think it is just this site as it seems to be running all over the net.
Let us know how Norton works, I finally got the Mcafee to work and ended up with 110 files infected with one major file which means I have to use an email through the springmail site. Can not do much without an sicexe file.
Glad my muzzleloader is not this complicated.

missed the Badtrans virus and my computer forwarded the sumbitch to
everybody on my address file. That is a lot of folks.....including many
members of this list. It's too bad that some folks have nothing better to
do than try to mess with other people's stuff....and in this case, try to
steal from them.
We fired McAfee and hired Norton. Goodwife spent most of today installing
the new hired gun and cleaning up the computer. Norton rooted out several
little hidden beasties and either fixed them or quarantined them so,
HOPEFULLY, my email will be safe.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this caused. Maybe Norton will be a better
protector. That and I will be even more vigilant with my inbox. I
routinely see posts with what I sense is a virus infected attachment and
dump it asap, but I got this from a cousin whose email is nearly always odd
and I opened it. Dumbass.
Anybody who wants me to open an attachment needs to notify me in a separate
post (or phone call). Otherwise I ain't opening it. Pinkie swear.
