thIS may be stupid to ask, but it won't be the first time I've been accused of
that. What did they do with their powder? Carry several horns, and fill up
any empties with water? I know it has been discussed before here that the
trappers scorned more or less canteens, but this just caught my attention and
got me to wondering. WOuld it have been difficult to get the horn dried out
before putting powder back?

Yo the camp!
Thought I'd get in on the discussion. I shoot a T/C renegade in .50, which I have de-modernized, and now shoots and looks good. Also have a .50 Kentucky pistol that also shoots good. On the percussion/flint survey, I would like to go to flint, but being left-handed and of limited funds, the percussion works well for me. Don't want all that fire going off in my face! Maybeso later I can sell a few more plews and get me a lefty flint.

If you still have some of last year's crop save IT for seed. The "Indian"
corns are straight breeds & will seed themselves, unlike modern hybred corns.
The modern hybreds are like mules.
