Dennis,
  I don't what all Lanney told you about "THE GEEZER RANGERS " , but here
are a couple to interesting notes.
  They have a motto, but they can't remember it.
  Their pledge or creed is, " Have prunes will travel ! ".
Just something for you to look forward to.  <GG>
Pendleton

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: leather

Dear Tony,
A possibles bag is not a shooting bag.  It carries your food, cooking an'
eatin' gear, fishing tackle, etc.  I made mine out of heavy linen not
leather.  If the linen is not heavy enough to pack all your gear without
tearing, line it with pillow ticking.  It is basically a haversack.
Rawhide makes good knife sheaths, simple, durable and molds itself to the
blade.  If you want something fancier, cover the rawhide with buck skin or
elk.  Brain tan if you want to mess with bead or quill work.  I carry my
small camp knife in a sheath made of poorly tanned squirrel hide.  Does the
job well but looks like hell.  Real rustic.  Shot the varmint while out deer
huntin' with my .54.  Killed and gutted the critter with one shot.  Didn't
make for a pretty fur though.  No ones tries to steal that sheath for sure.

Larry Huber

Subject: MtMan-List: Old guns

I just came into possession of two old rifles that belonged to my
grandfather. (Old Remington 30-06 and a Winchester 30-06).  They shoot
incredibly well and have modified stocks to fit him exactly.  They are rifles
I will always keep and pass on down to my son.  In contemplating this passing
of firearms I began to wonder if the same tradition existed in earlier times
(18th and 19th centuries).  While I am definitely a beginner in this
historical re-enactment field I have done some research into early guns but
have not found references to guns being passed down within families.  My
ponderings have led to several questions.

Were there guns made during the late 1700's (1760's to 1800) that showed up
in the mountains in the 1810's to 1830's?  Was it possible that some trappers
and mountain men went to the Rockies with guns that belonged to fathers and
grandfathers?
How long did an early muzzleloader last a man (barring being lost or stolen )?
Is it possible that the large caliber early rifles, (early Virginia of the
1760 period to late 18th century rifles) made there way into the rockies
during the rendezvous period?
I seem to recall having read that several early mountain men used late 18th
century Lancaster style rifles.  I would be very interested to know if anyone
on the list has found reference to these early guns which may lead to the
supposition that they could have been passed down within the family?

Most Respectfully
Steve
