Capt.,
Excellent idea about the wool sock/cows knee. Mind if I steal it?? =
The wife knits wool socks from scratch and I can grab a reject before =
she takes it apart and re-does it. If I talk REAL nice, maybe I can talk =
her into a single for Christmas.=20
Thanks, John

What I use is an old wool sock with about half the foot cut off. =
Works great. Keeps the snow off the lock, keeps the rain off it too for =
a while, quite a while actually. And when you need to shoot you just =
pull it back past the wrist a short ways and that exposes the lock and =
trigger for your use.

Dennis,
I figured that's exactly what my cows knee would look like when I got
done greasing it "adequately." But I used to work in the woods on the
Oregon Coast year-round (120 inches precip annually), and before that I
worked in the woods up by Quinault, WA on the Olympic Peninsula (300
inches annually, but I didn't work during the "rainy season"...just the
other nine months of the year).
Somewhere along the line I began to interpret "waterproof" as being
"submersible to 300-feet."

John,
Have her knit two. And while she's at it make a thumb hole on each
one. You'll then have an open end pair of mitts to warm both hands when
one doesn't need to protect the lock.

John,
Mrs. Stone knitted me a pair of those mitts. The thumb comes up past
the knuckle on each, and the finger part comes up to the furthest out
knuckle of the fingers. Work great, and is period correct all the way
back to the early 1700s and maybe even earlier.. She is making me an
even thicker pair so I can hold a cold steering wheel with them on.

Dennis,
Never carried a flintlock then, but I did use "write in the rain" paper
while taking survey notes. And I had some Magnum raingear. Those
"norwester" hats like the N.E. coastal fisherman are pictured with is
just the ticket in that kind of rain, but only if the rear brim is wide
enough to keep the rain from running down your back. I used warp drive
windshield wipers...and I should have had them powered by the wind so
they could operate at a necessary speed.
I could go on forever with these truths and yarns but it's off topic!
I'll keep the idea of waxing the frizzen closed on the primer if I ever
end up in a similar situation...quite unlikely in Utah.

I figured that's exactly what my cows knee would look like when I got
done greasing it "adequately." But I used to work in the woods on the
Oregon Coast year-round (120 inches precip annually), and before that
I worked in the woods up by Quinault, WA on the Olympic Peninsula (300
inches annually, but I didn't work during the "rainy season"...just the
other nine months of the year).<br>
<br>
Somewhere along the line I began to interpret "waterproof" as being "submersible
to 300-feet."<br>

Thanks, Dennis.<br>
Do I waterproof the inside as well as the outside of the cows knee?
Just wondering. I ordered a couple pounds of beeswax. I'm sure
I'll have enough left for the rest of the cow after I finish with
the knee! <span class="moz-smiley-s3"><span>;-) </span></span><br>
