Steve,
I never saw anyone answer your questions. I'll give it a crack. Pecatonica
does NOT sell guns. They sell component kits. Their specialty is making
gunstocks. Their kits are beyond the scope of a new builder unless you have
considerable woodworking and metal skills. Their's is NOT the one to buy if
you are making your first gun.

Go the the homepage of the Muzzleloader Mailing list :
http://members.aol.com/illinewek
Others might want to bookmark the page.....this is it's new location.
Scroll down the the Sutlers and Craftsmen link. both Jackie Brown and
Tennessee Valley Muzzleloading make the kind of gun you are looking for.
There are also several other links to excellent gunmakers. The reason I
mention these two, is because they will build you a gun "in the white"
meaning it is all assembled. All you have to do is stain the stock, apply a
finish to the wood, and brown or blue the metal. This way you get a quality
built gun to which you can add your own personal touches.

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: moccasin liners
Lanney, I am not a reenactor. I do these things because I have for years
been on a quest to become the best survivalist I can be. Not because I fear
Armageddon or anything, or fear that the government is out to enslave us and
those who would be free will have to run to the mountains, but because I
like it. I shot my first deer with a flintlock rifle (an original) over 50
years ago. At the time I was wearing moccasins of braintanned moose that my
great grandfather (an immigrant) had made. I study the history of the U.S.,
especially the colonial and fur trade times, to gain insight into the skills
and techniques those people used so that I may become better with survival
skills also. My college minor was in history, and I taught history as well
as English. I have an abiding interest in history for history's sake. My
personal library is large enough that it is a bit embarrassing. At least a
third of it is of history books. So I feel that although I am not a
reenactor, history is important to me so that I can learn. But learning does
not mean that as a buckskinner ( a term I use inadvisably and very loosely)
I need be concerned about the types of stitches used in my shirt, or the
amount of carbon in the steel of my blade. I do the best I can historically
when I go out, but my main concern is survival skills. Although reenactors
positions are not, of themselves, important to me, I give them all the room
they need. But when I hear inconsiderate or exclusive comments from any
faction or interest, I just consider that the person making them is
extremely narrow in their outlook and social skills. That's fine. They are
welcome to their exclusivity or lack of compassion or understanding. Just
not in my camp.

Amen, Angela
Nothing loses the "essence" quite as much as having to stay home because
walking in moccasins is impossible without the modifications you need. You
continue to do what you need to do and let the others have their opinions.
It amazes me that people can't separate comfort from necessity.

Hello in the camp This warm weather sure does feel good don't it. Back on the
farm when I was a kid I'd kick off my shoes and be headin for the creek. My
feet were a lot tougher then from not warein shoes much. As were the feet of
our 18 and 19th century counter parts. If you go bare foot a lot or ware
light mocs a lot your feet will Calais up. I use to be able to get by with
one layer side seams but got tired of all the patchin and going threw three
pare in a season. Then the 90lb jackhammer danced across my foot and a couple
of years later I trys to fly, Cyots don't fly ya know. So I shattered my heel
on the landin. After some cuttin screwin pinnin and some fusein the Doc
called it good as new almost. Need less to say I have altered my side seem by
adding layers of light cow hide to the out side and inside and covering it
all with brain deer or elk the only one how know is my feet and all of you.
First and for most the Army always says take care of your feet. Going out
on a walk about in the mountains for a few days covering some ground you had
better take care of your feet or you will pay. Believe me I know.

Hey, Cyot, Got your envelope - thanks, but you overpaid. I'll settle up the
difference next time I see you.
Now I am going to 'fess up. I have a couple of pair of plains style mocs I
made. I've worn out a heap of them. But nowadays I usually stick a pair of
them in my pack for use around camp. While doing research over the years,
especially in the southwest, I came to believe that the southwest Dyer moc
(that's the one that laces up the front) is as close to what came out of
that area as most can get. There is more to it than that but I'm not listing
it - much to long - Anyway, that's what I wear on the trail, afoot or
horseback. They have never let me down, and that is one of my prime
requisites. I'm out there to survive using historical skills and equipment.
I believe that moc is of a historical style and is available today.
On another idea, what is the use of learning to use something historical to
survive on or with, if it ain't gonna be available in a survival situation?
But I digress. . . .

Bill,
Charley Hanson had a sketch of a French Marine moc in his office from a friend
that ran one of the Canadian museums (can't remember which one now), anyway the
moc can be duplicated using one of Dyers old style tie behind mocs (one's like
we have all had). If you want I can send you a copy of that sketch for the
Tomahawk & Long Rifle.
What is needed to change from the Dyer pattern is to cut down that wide strap
that goes around the foot into a narrow one inch band that ties with just a
couple of holes (leave your thong long enough to make a loop to hang them up),
this is a fast an easy modification to make a good pair of footwear more correct
for period use, not perfect but closer than in original form.
The best part, like you say Dyer's are hard to beat when traveling or just
working in and around camp, so why not make them fit the period. Showed Carl
Dyer at an event years ago - the sketch Hanson had and he went off the deep end
about f.... up his mocs.
Anymore on water trips (canoe, flat boat or bateau) I wear them in and out of
the water, too much tin, metal and glass to take a chance of getting cut -
aren't some camper's and boater's wonderful !

Thanks, Buck. Why not send that sketch along. I'm sure there are plenty
who'd be interested. I never owned a pair of those. The ones I get are the
ones that lace up the front and whose likeness can be found in old paintings
and even the occasional museum. Hanson's books have near copies as well.
They are brutes for taking punishment, are made by several companies besides
Dyers. And the truth is, I see many people wearing them - they just don't
talk about them. I had a pair made by Carl Dyer's dad back when they were
making them for LL Bean. But they finally wore out. Oh well. . .

Glad it got through to ya Bill put the extra in the kitty for the TLC. Jill
really likes her gift you sent. Really enjoyed this Issue keep up the good
work. I think a lot of people could benefit by reading and taking to heart
Spoons article. I have been involved in clean ups in national forest camp
grounds and after some big Rendezvous and even after a couple of AMM
nationals. So I have seen how people on a hole leave their camps. The general
public are pigs and don't have clue how to leave a camp. Rendezvous are lot
better and on the most part do good job but there are some who are really
lacking. The AMM camps wear by far the best on a hole but still there are
some Brothers out there that could gain by his article. I always leave my
camp as if Blackout are on my hide trail leave as little sign as possible.
Spoons I would die before I would do your laundry.
On mochas I like the feal of brain tan on my feet even if I have to beef up
the souls. The side seem fit my out fit and wear the most common out here in
my area. So that is what I use. But no matter what type of moc system you be
sure they work for you before going out on any long jaunts in the wilderness
for without a horse or feet your just gone beaver.
See ya on the trail
