Ron,
No hard feelings. The answer to question #3 as best that I can glean
from researching is: Most latex paints today are made from an
artificial or "reconstructed" latex. There is the old style
available (100% real latex), but you have to look hard to find it.
As to question #4, I've not run in to anything that could be for
certain fact. I seem to remember mention of rubberized sheeting used
by the traders, but couldn't tell you where I read it over the years.
Good luck in your search and if I run into any more facts, I'll
pass them to you.
Your most humble servant,

My trekking is a bit before the Mountainman era... early part of the 1700s
with Oglethorpes Independent Rangers for GA and SC... but everything we use
we carry on our backs. GADS!!! I had forgotten how it was to carry a pack
(retired military). As you said... you find the softest rock available and
curl up. I use a 10x10 tarp to make a shelter out of just in case it
decides to rain (have you ever been on one where it didn't??)<chuckles>...
Bed roll, cup, bean pot, etc... We don't have the temperatures that David
does in the forzen country, but when it gets into the 40s here in the South,
that be a mite chilly for us. I take my longhandles (for at night) and 2
blankets then... But it is a lot of fun to step back like that, and rely on
just what you carry. I agree... the Ronnys are alotof fun, but it can't
compare to treking. We also have 2 long boats, and will take a run down the
various rivers and pull ashore to camp.

Subject: RE: MtMan-List: Finishing wood bowls
This may not be totally period correct, but I used a product called salad bowl finish to seal the inside of a turtle shell that I use for a eating bowl. I purchased salad bowl finish from a wood working shop. It had the consistancy of water and my first coating was too thick and accumulated in areas of depression as a gummy gel. This required sanding the inside of the shell again and the next application was applied very sparingly. This product is used to finish wooden salad bowls and I'm told is not harmful.

Hello everyone,
Finally got around to looking for the Mohawks' Mohawk Valley address.
Let them know I gave out their address. They are trying to keep their
new land and be able to work it and all. They do fund rasing and such.
It's perfectly ridiculous that they had to buy it when it was originally
theirs in the first place!
Anyways here goes:
