Just was NOT a good day to be a pig in northern Idaho. Too bad you don't
have that on video.
Folks talk about how smart hogs are....smarter than horses or dogs some
say...but I have my doubts. Next time you bite into a piece of bacon
remember that the hog was sure he had a future. Now how smart was that?
It has cooled off a little in north central Texas but not like your single
digits. We only got down to about 45 last night but we have had nearly a
month of constant rain/drizzle/mist. The mildew is starting to get moldy.

Subject: MtMan-List: Moccasin with wool insert source.
Frank and others
I am the sort of fellow who like to make his own mocs and such...just feels more PC that way. But I recently had need of a new pair and needed them quick.
Someone told me about 2bears (they have a website..think it is twobears.com) as a source of mocs. I was able to get Ernie to send me a pair of moccasins made of moose (dark) that had a double sole and a wool coating liner and for about $42 shipped. All I had to do was resew the heal seam to fit my foot specifically and trim the pucker seam a tad more. These have held up REALLY well, look really good (esp after I greased them with my bear grease-ochre mix) and you cannot buy the leather and wool for that price hardly!!!
I highly reccomend this as a source of wool-lined mocs.

I can second that, I bought a pair of mocs from this fellow. Same
thing-moose with double layer on bottom and wool blanket lining sewn up all
together. $40 & shipping. Very fast and friendly service to boot.

I cant remember what the source was but I too have read accounts of socks,
and I beleive they also referred them as stockings (again going from my
memory). Now the next is a shameless plug. I will have available hand
knitted socks, a English lady is teaching my mother how to make them. I
currently have two pair,(unfortunately they are made from wool from a craft
store part acrylic and part wool) if these sell I have will have a source of
100% wool in the near future. Also available handknitted touque's, liberty,
voyager caps (whatever you prefer to call them) I should have jpegs
available soon to anyone interested.
