I have a big tin cup with a leather wrapped handle not for identification
so much as insulation when cooking in the cup. I tied a couple of unusual
beads to the handle for ID.

Subject: MtMan-List: Beginner needs help
Greetings,
A good friend of mine has introduced my son and I to the world of the
mountain men this past summer and we really enjoyed. In fact is has come to
be something special between my son and I along with helping him with his
reading problem as we read everything we can get our hands on...even started
our own collection of stories that really enjoy.
Anyway, he and I want to get starting in gear & clothing but with so much to
do and so many things to get, I don't know where to start. Money doesn't
grow on tress in our camp. I have wanted to start with some of the fun
items (rifles, hawks, knives, etc.) but I know that the clothing makes a
difference as well.
Where should we start?

With a name like that I bet you don't refuse a cup to often. ;-)
However, when you have three boys as well as yourself to keep track of stuff
it is nice to know which cup is missing. You know that "Your responcible
for your own stuff" type thing. On top of that when you think you have got
your lid and then find out you have got someone elses you now have no idea
where you even lost yours. Been there done that.

Dear Ed
You came to a good place to ask and I bet we will warm up some keyboards
answering your request. First of all it doesn't hurt to go where you
interests lie, so don't put off the fun stuff to long. Second, a good
mountaineer told me early on that there are few things in this game that can
not be made yourself if money is a problem. Indeed there is a money/time
and skill trade off.
So here is my advise for what its worth. Decide what you want to start
with. Like maybe an outfit, then refine and say I need pants. Then start
asking around and studying everything you can get your hands on and start
making some choices as to what you want to end up like. Maybe breach clout
and leggings will be your thing or maybe you will make drop front trousers
out of brain tanned leather you tanned yourself or maybe a pair of purchased
cloth trousers also well researched and documented.
If you go to a fair sized rendezvous you will see some sad looking feller
headed West with holes in his stuff, a filthy hat, dirty leggings over wore
out mocs. And walking the other direction you will see a feller that really
takes pride in his outfit he has a fine animal skin headress, neat bright
leathers and fancy factory mocs.
This can be really fun and your excitement can make you equal to some old
veterns although that may be hard for you to see. You will have to decide
which way you want to go. But keep in mind, most of what you will get here
will come from the feller headed West. You would be wise to heed his
advise.

Ed and All,
Sorry for that false reply.
Ed, didn't you say once you lived in Montana? If that is correct, there
are some fun rendezvous on both sides of the hill that you should go to
that will have everything you need or at least give you ideas.
Good luck,

Ed,
You picked a great time to get started. There are so many things to
choose from then when I started.
What period of time are you interested in?
You can get a nice pair of drop front pants and a drop sleved shirt
from Jas Townsend and Son. A tent from Track of the Wolf. or Tent
Smith. A hat from clear Water hat co.
Get a blanket to make a Capote from the Army Navy store or the Blanket
Brigade. Get a pair of Fugawne Brogans as well as sox from them. and
your off. Make sure your wife come a long There are also paterns fabric
suppliers Look at the links page for the AMM web site. There are so
many ways and other ideas and I am sure others will give you moors
choices.

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Beginner needs help
Ed,
I see that several others have posted on your question and given some good
advice. I like to recommend "The Book Of Buckskinning" series put out by the
publishers of Muzzle Loader magazine. I think it is up to about 8 volumes
now. A new volume came out every few years over the past couple decades with
the idea to answer questions such as yours. While they are not cheap in
their total, going for somewhere around $16 per volume give or take a couple
bucks, they are just jam packed with good useful info on virtually any topic
you might be interested in concerning this hobby.
I would also direct your attention to the work of Rex Allen Norman who has
added to the Mt. Man Sketch Book series (a less expensive series of magazine
sized books that deal with virtually every type of Persona from the
matchlock era to the Mt. Man era). Rex has come up with a fairly well
researched "sketch book" on specifically the Mt. Man, what his gear was
like, what he wore, what he shot, on and on. It's probably the cheapest bit
of info you could come up with right off.
Most of the suttlers that you would find at Rendezvous or on line will sell
such books and more. I'll add that one in your position might do some
reading before doing any buying or making. Though you can make most of your
gear, you can also make gear that is not correct to the period by copying
what you see at most rendezvous/shoots. A lot of new information has come
out in recent years on what it really was like way back but many already
have spent much time, effort and not a little money on their gear and are
loath to throw it out and make new. You won't hurt yourself by going slow.

You didn't say whether you have been to any rendezvous in your area.
Have your friend point you towards a good 'primitive' one and then take a
camera with you and not a lot $$$. Most folks that camp for the duration in
the primitive area of any good rendezvous will talk yer ear off if given
half a chance. Take the time to figure out what you want to wander into the
wilderness AS and that will help you decide on your overall outfit.
Don't jump in until you test the water. Just my two cents. John

is also a lot of it at rondezvous. Although this isn't merchandise, I

Ed,
Another good source is the Goodwill. A wool blanket is a wool blanket.
They generally sell fabric for $1 a yard. I have even picked up Dyer
moccasins there. Talk to the manager, tell them you will give a bounty for
any striped wool blanket. I have picked up 3 Hudson Bay and numerous no
name that way.I give the manager$5 and have never paid over $20 for a
blanket.
You can pick up tin plates, cups and even period silverware. Stay away
from the enamel ware. It screams pilgrim. If you are looking for guns run an
ad in the money saver or nickel ads. You'll be amazed how many guns were
bought during the bi-centennial and gathering dust.Buy them cheap. You can
always trade.
Good luck,
Rick

Subject: MtMan-List: Tobaccy saves trappers
Dear List,
Does anyone know where the I read about some trappers thinking that
smoking their pipe kept them alive during a blizzard?
The title heading read something like "Smoking pipe keeps trappers
alive". I can't find it. Any help out there?
Thanks for any help in advance,
bb
