I'm a working stiff, mechanic. I had it a while before I really gave it a COLD weather test. I first used it in the cold up near Donner Pass , in the Sierra Mtns, in mid November. It was snowy and about 0 degrees. I used it and a whitney blanket inside a canvas tent. My boots froze, everything froze...except...ME. I woke up in the morning and it took me a minute to realize where I was. I was warm and cozy, and in a very cold situation. At that moment I realized a brain tan buff robe was a good investment. I have since camped in the same area, similar conditions. The first night I got cold, because I pushed off the covers. The second night I put the blanket under me, buff robe over me...and slept like a baby. I take good care off my buff robe. I hang it on a clothes line after every use, and beat it with a tennis racket to clean. I have had it 5 years, or so, and it looks and acts just like it did when it was new. I realize that $600 -700 is a lot of money, but I am sure glad I made this investment. It also makes a difference in whether my wife will camp with me , or not. She's done several canoe trips, etc.. in summer. But, if it is cold she wants to stay home...UNLESS I have the buff robe. In my opinion, it is a good investment.

I would recommend you get blankets that are at least 60"x80". This is what most 3 1/2 point blankets measure out as. at this size, I recommend using a couple of blanket pins so when you roll over, you keep covered and tie off the bottom. for winter camp I used 4 3 1/2 point blankets. laid one out, the next was laid half over it and the original then had other half folded, then the seconded folded over that making an envelope with 2 layers under you and 2 over you, then enclosed that in 2 additional blankets.

There is already a line here in Montana kicking my butt. Randy, sounds like your brain tanned robe is a good bed. I'm curious about other robes. I have only a commercial tanned hide which I know is inferior to a brain tanned one. The worse thing I hate about it is when it gets wet or soaked. Certainly that happens to brain tanned ones. Is it as much a pain to dry out as mine? Speaking of brain tanned robes, I just got my Traditional Tanners catalog in the mail. This is Matt Richards company. I've never seen his catalog before and it is nice. I met him and his gang at Vipond Park at the Western National awhile ago. Nice bunch of free spirits. His prices however look a lot higher than Wes Housler's. $895 for Matt's and $600 for Wes's! I can buy a lot of wool blankets and Madeira wine with that much cash! bb > bb, It wasn't easy for me to give up over $600 for a 5' x 8' cow buff > robe, brain tanned by Wes Housler.

I have gutted and skinned and fleshed several and it is no easy chore I know. Without a good horse or a pickup to flip it over it is a real big job. It is no wonder why the buff was the King of the Plains! But what does that matter to you and me though? The women did all that work anyway? Perhaps the same reason the indian covets the white man's possesions a white man covets the indians? Sometimes I think the brain tanned buff hide is as much a statis symbol as it is functional. But of course, I could be wrong. bb > bb, > > Why? Good question. Have you run down many buffalo on horse back?

The rain came down hard and long. I was wet, yet still warm. I strung a rope between two trees the next day and hung the robe over it, and then left for the Alamo. When I came back to camp that late afternoon the robe was dry and fluffy. After I got home I did what I always do after using it out on the ground. I hung it on my clothesline and worked it over good with a tennis racket to knock out dust, chaf, etc.... The robe is as pretty as ever. I've never had a commercial tanned robe, but I understand that they are heavier and more expensive. Wes's robes seem to be the most reasonably priced ones available, but they are still an expensive luxary. I'm happy I took the plunge though. I expect that with good care it will last me a looong time. I used an elk robe before I got the buff. The problem with it is that the hairs break and you wake up in the morning feeling like you had a haircut (scratchy). I solved this by using a tight woven mexican blanket between me and the elk robe. It is still a poor substitute for a good buff robe. I know Matt's website ( braintan.com ) , but haven't seen his catalog. I learned a lot about braintanning from Matt's book and website. A few good blankets will be half the price of a nice robe. See you on the trail.

Pretty violent movie. I have to say, I still think "Shane" is the king of all "shoot up the bad guys in town" movies. It was much less violent too yet was able to convey the message with simple scripts and the looks on actors faces. Then in the end Shane left town as there is "no living with a killing". Yep, Hollywood just can't make them like they used too. They think more violence and special effects will somehow make it better. Rent both copies of Cape Fear and you'll see what I mean. The original was every bit as scary yet much less violent then the remake. And still it was scary. The remake is garbage in my opinion. I took one look at the scenery in Open Range and told my wife "That is Alberta!" I was right too, had to watch a list of credits five minutes long to see I was right. Pretty scenery in Open Range, I'll give him credit for that. But then Shane's backdrop ain't too shabby either. Sorry for the kind of off topic opinion.

I started out at 60 grains and went clear up to 110. 110 was blasting out un burned powder for the muzzle. ( I was shooting over snow so it was easy to see). My best advise is have them start out around 60 or 70 grains and move up in 10 grain increments until they find a load their rifle likes.

For a 50 cal ball weighing 188 grains the powder charge would be 47 gr. The thing to consider here is twist or rate of turn of the barrel. Old barrels varied greatly but averaged around 1:48" Barrels made today tend to be at a slower rate than old barrels. The 50 cal barrels today are commonly 1:70". They were made to shoot more powder to increase muzzle velocity. I recommend the range of 50 gr to 90 gr. Some 50s like .495 ball others .490. My custom guns with Green Mountain and Getz barrels perform best with .495 ball and 75 gr. of FFg. In shorter barrels 36' or less try 60 grs of FFFg. I agree with others on the list, more than 90 grs is probably a waste of powder but it DOES increase recoil and internal pressure in the barrel. Hope this helps.
