Ya know, I bet if Jim Bridger had of had a DOG in camp he would have fed
him out of a DUTCH OVEN, and I bet he would have had him on a leash made of
BRAIDED ARTIFICIAL SINEW, and his collar would have been sewn with DENTAL
FLOSS. How's that for a SNIDE SMART ASS remark ? Now before all you folks
light up my personal e-mail, let it be known that I am a rude, crude,
insensitive, politically incorrect, old fart. At least that is the rumor.
I do have a question though. What in the hell has gone wrong when the folks
on this list argue, so strongly, over such B.S. ?
Yeah Buddy, if'n they'd had it, they'd a used ! Yes sirree Bob !

Ho the list
I am with Allen Hall.....this sniping match about dental floss is over the
top. If Letterman were this funny I would watch him again. For what it's
worth, Noah Webster's 1828 definition follows:
FLOSS, n. [L. flos.] A downy or silky substance in the husks of certain
plants.
...nothing for "flos"
I am a little confused, though. Who is or is not the snide smart ass and
who is the dumb ass? I could guess but I might leave somebody out.

Now I know for sure they didn't have that in 1825! :o) Ha Ha!

Subject: MtMan-List: RE: Beaver Trapping
Taken From: Ruxtons WILD LIFE IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS
"When a lodge is discovered, the trap is set at the edge of the dam, at the
point where the animal passes from deep to shoal water, and always under
water. Early in the morning the hunter mounts his mule and examines the
traps. The captured animals are skinned, and the tails, which are a great
dainty, carefully packed into camp. The skin is then stretched over a hoop
or framework of osier-twigs, and is allowed to dry, the flesh and fatty
substance being carefully scraped (grained). When dry, it is folded into a
square sheet, the fur turned inwards, and the bundle, containing about ten
to twenty skins, tightly pressed and corded, and is ready for
transportation. "
Streched over a hoop...is he talking 'casing the beaver' rather than a flat
hide?

No-consider his comment "When dry, it is folded into a
square sheet, the fur turned inwards". This doesn't work with a cased skin.
Also, buyers wanted to examine each skin. A cased skin would have to be
turned, which would slow the inspection process. For speed and
convenience, a flat skin folded as described would be best.

How about real sinew, or linen thread.

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: RE: Beaver Trapping
I asked Rex Norman about this a year or two ago. His
reply was that the hides were folded in half (hair side in).
And then packed so the flat edges were on the outside.
When putting four of these hides together, it gave the
appearance of a square hide in the bale. Casing a hide
is great way to go when you can pull the hide from the
flesh, but never tried to do this with a beaver. In fact,
my Dad always just sold the beaver frozen and unfleshed
to the hide buyers. He always thought it was too much work
to skin them out. Having learned now how to do it, I would
agree for the first dozen you do. I've seen guys take a hour to
get a hide off the animal. But the good skinners can do it right quick!
