OUCH"

i'm heading out tommarow morning , and i did find BOO he has been camping there the past week and half .

why, Nigel thats your hammock without you in it . but why is the hammock empty??

Is there anyone of the florida crews attending ?its a pre 1840 rendezvous in lakeland, Fla with well over 1000 reenactors camping and selling there wares. a Great place to pick up blackpowder stuff ,cooking ,camping items and the 1000 different camps are incredible , its where i got many of my ideas for my camp. as i can't take the time now to camp i will try to go over for the public days january 26 . its more mountain man but its not to be missed if your in the area of fla. www.floridafrontiersmen.org/alafia . I'm trying to get in touch with BOO from PIP as he has been attending this event for many years . if anyone has a contact for BOO please pass it along .thanks willie wobble

Me too got home unloaded in the garage and there it still sits except the cannon cleaned it up and oiled it down ,clothing washed them and they're still hanging in the garage , real life and work got in the way

Did anyone happen to end up with an xtra blue camp coffee cup with a leather wraped handle maybe out in the camps

Aye Silkie, ye always lookin to hang sumfin around ya neck.

I've been doing pyro for the ymca indian guides with my son for the last 4 years and still have all my fingers. have been lighting the big ceremony fire by remote lighting from deep cycle battery by running wire out to where you want the charge to go off through a junction switch box it can be done , electric matches are becoming harder to find nicrom wire is what i've been using

as far as secondary hits from morter shots i did bring down some ninja smoke ,wrap it in a plastic bag insert a fuse , light and throw . at last minute i joined the cannon crew with my cannon and take the time to make up some smoke packs, they are smoke and glitter in different color but no explosion. next year i'll try to be ahead of the game.

Harry would go through camp in the morning calling out " BRING OUT YA DEAD " don't know why it just hit me as funny every time , he did it in 2005 also . I don't think if i can post about maddog and the rings of fire willie wobble

WOW!! it was worth the wait , the craftmanship is top notch ,it didn't get here by the time i left for PIP but i had enough other STUFFFF that was ok midnight and i do understand sometimes life gets in the way of our hobbys .thank you very much , willie wobble

i also sent payment to mr.midnight back on may26 and july 20 he posted that my box was next to be crafted , i have e- mailed twice since then as to an update with no responce back , i am still waiting to hear from him one way or another. captain if your still working on it can you let me know. i was hoping befor PIP.

I can't seem to find it now but , did i see that the fort will be supplying fire wood for cooking and camp fires for the different camps, hauling ALL my camp gear doesn't leave much room for packing fire wood .willie wobble

WOW!!! very nice, and a belt clip too

kass, i've been following your threads here and have made 4 shirts ,3 cotton ,1 linen from your patterns but maybe i missed somthing, when making a linen shirt or shift wouldn't you also use linen thread? i'm finding it difficult to find linen thread and then what size thread ?waxed or unwaxed the company that carrys linen materal doesn't handle thread. did i missthat part? thanks, willie the shirt maker

i'm having a hard time joining together two 2/4s for my dinning fly for a length of 12 foot for the center beam ,the pine i'm using keeps spliting. i have split two 8ft 2/4s down about two and 1/2 foot each to overlap and put 3 carrage bolts through them to join together . is there a better way to join together 2/4s for a tent or dinning fly? thanks willie

capt pogue , very nice lots of detail and a cartridge pouch to boot and rod holder, kewl

mad dogge, yep i'll have both the hot jamacian powder , jerk for the pork (dinner)and black ff for the" BACBOOM",willie wobble

with a cannon and lock and other blow-up stuff i WILL have powder and can bring more if needed ...

????? tent poles, i've already painted them primer gray for my wedge tent and dinning fly,or do they need, have to be natural . i'm in hurricanes crew, "buccaneer" but wouldn't a wedge tent be closer to the 1720 type camp?

they look nice , did you have a pattern or make from scratch , i would't mind trying my hand at making a pair me self
