carry water so what do you use and what info do you have on it. I carry a
gourd canteen lined with beeswax.

Lotsa folks will say antler, but that is not nearly as documented as wooden buttons or horn buttons,even.

At the camps I have been to, I have seen a lot of copper canteens and
some that are not quite authentic but close with a cork and painted
metal. Since then, I have wondered if gourds would hold up to heavy
use, ie horse travel. What do you think Frank?
I have seen many referances that lead me to believe that canteens were
not common among the RMFT. For instance, Jed took a kettle not a
canteen of water back into the desert to save Gobel from where he had
laid down to die. But there is a referance to gourd canteens in Ruxtons
book. In the inventory for Rockies brought in by Fountenelle and
Fitzpatrick lists:
9 India Rubber Canteens
6 Pocket Compass
28 Iron Bound Canteen
Compasses appear a little more common. For example:
Townsend:
All these troubles are owing to our having lost the trail yesterday, and
we have been travelling to-day as nearly in the proper course as our
compass indicated, and hope soon to find it.
Zenas Lenard:
Men were despatched in every direction on search, but all returned
without any tidings with which to comfort our desponding company. The
compass told which direction we should go, but otherwise we were
completely bewildered.
I am a poor example if you want to know what I carry. I bought a small
cheap brass compass and the above meantioned questionable canteen.
Perhaps this information will be helpful
