Subject: MtMan-List: Parafin oil
Hello the list:
We found, in my grandfathers garage, some parafin oil My grandfather
was born in 1903 and died about 5 years ago. I know he did many things
the old ways, because he was brought up that way, on the farm, in
Nebraska. I have never heard of parafin oil. Does anyone have info on
this? Was it used by old timers for waterproofing? I doubt this
material dates back to the fur trade days, but I believe it to be old.
I don't think parafin was around in the 1830's. Is this related to what
we know as parafin, today, or not?
Thanks - Carp

Wow! A question I can actually answer, as we just finished a discussion
of paraffin oil on another list I'm on. :-)
Paraffin oil is an early name for kerosene AKA lamp oil.

Not really. As I said, it's an early name for lamp oil or kerosene. Do
NOT attempt to use it for waterproofing as you would essentially make a
huge, solvent soaked torch just begging for a stray spark to come
visiting. I think the general consensus reached on the other list was
that this "paraffin oil" dates at the EARLIEST to the mid 1850's.
Hope this has been of some help.

Matt,
I don't know where to buy specific patterns for shooting bags, I have always
made my own.
There are two good sources, well actually one.
Book of Buckskinning #2, chapter 5
Book of Buckskinning #6, chapter 1
Both give excellent examples of period pouches and instructions for making
your own.
Good luck. Mail me offline for any specific help you may need. I've made
several for family and friends
