Hope it opens fine for you. Best put the kids and the little missus to bed
before you open it if you ever expect them to go camping with you again.

00 steel wool. It will take the rust out and smooth the pit edges. It
works like a champ.

Subject: Re: MtMan-List:Bull boats
Mark,
I have seen a couple bull boats and they both have the hair out. The hair helps
protect the outside surface of the boat from rocks, etc. Also having the hair
inside would make for a continuously wet soggy mess as the hair will get wet
just from getting in and out. The boats I have seen are usually made of just
one large hide so the problem of sealing seams just isn't there. However, some
of the larger canoe like boats trappers were building certainly had to have
seams. I think you just did the best you could with pine pitch and tallow. My
thoughts on the matter.

My good Capt Lahti,
Thanks for the reply. I was reading it with mush interest when I finally got the sneaking suspicion that you were pulling my keg. I was picturing you there sitting on a rock explaining this all matter of factly with a straight face, and me being raised with proper manners was taught to listen to my elders.
Anyway, you weave a good and entertaining tale. Hope to hear more at the rendezvous!
Teton
