Hey my Friends i have been trying to learn leather craft one so i can make my own gear, but also want to get into some American Indian, and Long hunter, and 17 and 18 century trapping reenactment.
Really thinking of doing this with maybe a friend or family member, I seen years ago on the box that everyone stares at every day, a show about a group of friends that did this every hunting season, they carried with them coffee beans, Bacon, and i think some dried beans of some kind.
For firearms they had black powder rifles some were flintlock smooth bore and some percussion cap, ether way would be fun.
Some had long bows and recurves bows but i was thinking about a atlatl and some darts, plus my black powder rifle.
Now this hunting season about December i want to go out and do like a modern long hunter, trapping outing. By Georgia law i have to carry a 22 Cal. weapon with me to dispatch my catch, so really on this trip i will have no other choice but go modern, but i will get as close to the time period as i can.
Also thinking of getting me some canvas to make a tarp out of for my shelter most likely lean to form, I think the tomahawk was the choice of chopping tool so i will carry it, and my Old Hickory butcher Knife.
Now if anyone would like to join me you are welcome to do so plus if you have any thoughts on what i have been talking about please comment and let me know what you think i am open to new ideas.
So God Bless you all and keep your powder dry till next time. The Georgia Woodsmen.

I would love for you to learn how to make moccasins. I would surely become a customer. They are about all I wear.
