Hi there. I'm on digest edition so if I don't reply real quick that's the

a new job in West Plains way down south MO. I was reading on NMLRA web site
and there's a club down there. Hopefully their pretty active, and friendly
to know nothing like myself.
Thanks, Rick

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: [Fwd: trail bacon]
Hi Phyllis and Don,
I am a new member to the Mt.Man list, but right now I am too shy to announce
myself.
Besides, I am a Pilgrim and would not have anything to offer yet. I have
read and studied history since I learned how to read, but from the messages
that I have read, I would still be considered a novice!
Please tell me specifically what a Living History Consultant does. Does it
cover shoes for the frontier ladies of the 1700's up to 1840? I am
researching the clothing of that time for ladies and that is pretty clear
cut. But I don't want to be out in the woods at a Rendezvous without a
sturdy-and feminine-low or no heeled boot that I can run and play in!
Until recently, I thought I was the only throw back to the olden days. For
years I have grieved about the loss of those times. I am so excited to find
out that there are many who want to and have already resurrected the past.
Beings that I don't have a HE WHO MUST BE OBEYED, I will be able to make the
Rendezvous and all connected to it a lifestyle without causing an uproar. I
already wear frontier type dresses and long skirts as my everyday dress. My
friends pat me on the head and tell me I am sweet and that they accept me
even though they think I am eccentric because I want the olden days again.
Thanks for letting me go on,
Victoria Pate
Ft. Worth, Texas

Subject: MtMan-List: (no subject)
I hate to admit it, but there are only a hunnert and fifty seven holes
in the 'thousand eye' lantern. It is the cutest little thing, and the
two candlestick mold is like my other one, but shrunken a whole lot. It
is a mighty fine piece of work, and worth every penny Buck got for it..
The D-canteen with the pitch lining lives up to Peter's fine standards
as well.
His small French trade kittle is a pretty piece of work which I got on
Buck's say so, and no regrets...use it every day in the house right now,
and it has one fire under its belt, too. You gotta heat it after you
wash it to drive the moisture from under the iron rim, that's the only
thing I noted after the first washing.
I ordered his Hudson's Bay kettle, too. If you are addicted to fine
workmanship, or want to become addicted, Goose Bay Workshops will
provide your 'fix'. His touchmark on each piece is nice! So is the
scratched version....a collector's item I guess.

Hi, Victoria. ( you must follow wreck.woodworking after the feminine
version of the SWMBO comment, right?) =20
Grab your phone and call Don Kitlinger, aka 'Wooden Hawk', who is
almost your neighbor. Either he or his darlin' wife Jan will be on
the other end of the phone. They'll answer many of your questions,
and can probably supply you with anything you need.
Great folks, honest as the day is long. Don is AMM member from way
back, but don't hold that against him. I'd trust him and Jan with my
last dollar, my best horse, my lodge, and my private stash of the best
homebrew or wine I ever made, although I draw the line with leaving
him alone with Sundance (my SWMBO)...he's older, but not dead. =20
You also have Bunny Soldier, Ramrod and Lightfoot trompin' through the
area there too. Several other buckskinnin' derelects in the Dallas
area, but these are the ones engraved on MANY of my
memories...sometimes almost pleasantly (Hawk, with a broken leg,
leading a spear charge at the first Oklahoma doin's comes to mind -
Lightfoot finding that damn spring in Arkansas by cutting the towns
ONLY water supply with a single swing of a mattock in an area of some
600 acres ranks right up there too).

outstanding articles on how to get started along with a current list
of Texas area rendezvous. The fall T.A.B. (Texas Association of
Buckskinners) rendezvous will be held near North Zulch beginning the
Thursday of Halloween weekend. This is about midway between Dallas
and Houston. Drop me an email off-list if you want more info on the

started. =20

Linda,
Am glad the storm spared you and yours.
Some years ago, probably early 80's, I acquired a large painted rawhide box
from you which I have used all of these years as storage for my rendezvous
clothes. The damn rats discovered it this summer in my warehouse, ate the
braintained bindings and made it otherwise look like Swiss cheese.
Literally.
Do you still make such items? If so would you advise me as to what is
available?

Freeze or just keep cool. If it gets any mold, just wipe it off with
vinegar. How are you and yours doing. It has been a coons age since the

Subject: MtMan-List: bacon?
I didn't know there were that many porkeaters involved with AMM! With
all this talk of trail bacon, I am surprised noone has mentioned
country ham. This is a delicacy I was introduced to by my old paw,
Buffer Chip of Ky. when I went to his Thanksgiving doin's many years
ago. It needs no refrigeration either though it is too salty for some
tastes. I would imagine it is quite similar to trail bacon as it is
salt and sugar cured,then smoked for a length of time. Someone asked
the other day about what can be done about the salt taste, and the
solution is quite simple-just soak it in water for awhile before
cooking. My wife, Grace, did this to some country ham, and it works
real well. Dog, Gabe's Hole Brig.

of the list. I e-mailed
Mr. Rudy and asked for instructions on how to do an off list message. In

Subject: MtMan-List: Help with broken rifle
Hello the list!
I could use your help.
My husband, Brian, was given an 45 caliber, single trigger, percussion cap Markwell
Arms black powder rifle by a friend of his. It was built from a kit and about 23 years old.
His friend built it, used it one season and stuck it in the back of the closet and forgot
about it until Brian started talking about getting into black powder shooting. Howard dug
it out and gave it to him.
It was a mess and Brian worked like a dog to get it back into usable shape. We took it
to 2 events and then the leaf spring broke. We can't find anyone locally that can repair
the rifle. Brian really likes the thing, size and power, and would hate to lose it. He has
invested a lot of time and energy restoring it, not to mention the money spent to get all
the support gear that Howard had lost over the years.
Since we are very new to black powder shooting, it may be we are missing something
very simple or obvious. We contacted the only gunsmith we could find in our area, Iowa
City, Iowa, and he told us he couldn't help.
Are we just out of luck and need to start looking for a replacement rifle? Is it possible to
get or have made a new leaf spring? Any leads would be gratefully followed up.
If this is out of line for list discussion, please contact me by e-mail at home:

will send it to you if you can make it work---if you order from dixie you

It's nice to see Dixie is still a good supplier of parts. A few days
ago someone sort of put them down as an overpriced dealer, but in thge
old days Turner was one of very few sources for blackpowder stuff. It
has been many years since I dealt with them, but they always had a
goodly supply of repair parts. When Navy arms told me it was
impossible to convert my Harpers Ferry to caplock, Dixie had all the
parts I needed. Good luck with the repair. It is prety simple to
replace the spring, just don't compress it too tight. Dog, Gabe's Hole

We had such a ham at a rendezvous in the Bitterroots of Montana in 1996. =
The saltiness can be fixed by soaking as you say or cooking pieces of =
the ham in beans, etc that are not otherwise salted. Ham is even more =
likely to be flyblown than bacon. Double wrap the ham in fabric or =
cheesecloth, hanging it several feet up in a tree, where it is said that =
flies don't go. (I don't know how true that is, however). Check the ham =
closely before you hit the trail because ours had gone bad along the =
bone and much of it went to a yapping dog that didn't deserve the treat. =
If you can afford one (about $60), the country hams from the Cracker =
Barrell Resturant chain are very good and they will ship.

I no longer make the boxes. But glad to hear some are still out there, no
matter the condition.
There are a few good makers out there. The Brewers for one. But rawhide boxes
have gotten expensive. A few hundred for the good ones.
