Tail is favourite for many of us but I can't think what to compare them with for taste more meat taste than say Ostrich I'd guess :) Cougar we don't get here, and Lynx occurs in the southern parts of our land. But we don't eat him.

I didn't think folk would be really interested in my canoeing stuff for such a journey. 1. 1st Nations? i never use it. Were just the people = Dene in Cree, sometimes Deneza if we want to emphasise it. I don't mind what you call me as an indian as long as its not rude or insulting. :) 2...

I can't remember, nor can I remember the first time in a canoe. Probably as a baby. When I was a young man I went with my cousin on long canoe trips to explore rivers and places I did not know existed and far beyond our hunting territories, maybe away for months at a time just paddling from...

Tegu. Many lives have been lost by not wearing life jackets. Mostly on fishing boats both here and in the UK - no fisherman I saw on big fishing boats in yorkshire used them either. And there are no motorbikes up here either - and only a few dirt roads. But no bother I don';t think I...

Ha Ha! & Bear no problem as long as you respect him. You all may enjoy this film by the National Film Board of Canada 'Cree hunters of the Mistassini'. 12 minutes in you'll see canoeing 14. the Axes we mostly use 16. minutes in canoeing in rapids 30 minutes in Beaver hunting. Its old and...

I liked the Yorkshire puddings I had when we stayed in yorkshire. The beef was Ok too. ...

Well lets see if I can answer some of your comments. 1. FAK If that means 1st aid then we don't bother generally. If we need things for cuts we can use what the forest provides. We have a root we mash up = I don't know English name which we use to stop bleeding. But we rarely get cut...

Following on from a previous post with the same title and some of you asked me if I would do the same. This would be a reasonable estimate of what myself and my partner would carry on a 16 day canoe trip to a hunting cabin and back on the Winagaiskikimi River which we do normally after...

Lucky us 1st nations are immune to the effects of most biting insects. So to are most folk who live up here for a while. Your body will get used to it and stop your itching after living outside for a while. Meanwhile...........try the 50/50 mix of tar and fat.

It makes no difference if you wear came clothing for hunting. Animals I've been told don't see colour anyhows. We rarely use came for hunting. In some places its darn right dangerous to wear came if you hunt cos there are folk whose skills at recognising what they are shooting at means folk...

I guess those Apaches who used the desert as their home would have known the location of every water hole, spring, or root/plant containing water or whatever, in much the same way as my English friend said australian aborigines did in his trips with them. Like us they'd know what and how to...

1st nations people don't live in hostile environments. Only in European culture was the west ever wild.

Janne Maybe your instructors were cruel or just enjoyed watching you guys suffer? None of our folk have problems with mosquitos and I'd not know any 1st nation people who live up here who get an itch after bite. It seems to be that the longer you are exposed to mosquito bites the less...

I was answering the first post. I don't think I was criticising what you took. Please do not criticise my comments which were meant for someone else. In our society it is not polite to answer for someone else because you may not represent his views unless you are hunting partners. However I...

So much equipment? Colchester in the UK maybe? Others have said what they've thought best but I aint trying to change your mind but just give you some thoughts from what we might take on a similar short hunting trip of that time:- Letherman Wave. = I don't know what this is. Head Torch...

Ha HA. We call those thread worms or sometimes 'sewing worms' but I've never seen one in a tree.

An axe will endure years of abuse but you are right and should always put it where you'll see it. My English friend is a hedge layer (?) and I saw he has hi-viz tape around some of his tools.

Just shy of Two handwidths length blade - maybe 7". Good all round for many jobs, killing game/gutting animals to cutting string/wood/poles/canvas & cutting food.

After long consideration of what passes for a day pack or survival kit in these parts I decided that my 'day pack' (a small pack on the sledge in winter) consists of:- One axe which gets used for lots of things on trap line setting One big knife for other things. Extra glove/mitt if gets cold...
