Thanks there is some great stuff there. I am reading a book recommended on here a while back, the Boy Mechanic, which has lots of similar great information in it about the ways of the old campers, fur traders etc... There is a lot to be learned form these early american sites & books.

I am a gear ***** yes I admit it. But I think there is much to be learned from old books and sometimes you have to read between the lines to get the idea and then practice.

The Dump site is worth a look. Almost all of the scouting stuff of the past.
