It must run to 100 pages by now, using 8-point, double column type. Much of it, of course, is personal stories and experiences, while some of it reports on research. I would be glad to help with our FAQ. Your idea of divvying up the topics makes sense. It will be an editing challenge to prune our FAQ for length and reliability. I must admit at this time that I have at least a year of recent postings to add to my archive; knowing that Dean's site keeps this up has taken some of the heat off. Just the other week I read that my hinged lidded tin cup which I bought in good faith from a trader is post-period (civil war) so you learn something new every day. I've been meaning to ask for clarification on tin styles but I have pretty much figured it out from ongoing traffic (tin experts feel free to comment however). I mention this as an example of a topic which would presumably have been in our FAQ, to give an example of its value.

Crazy Cyot replied: I did not know when I came on this list that I had to study the archives before I could try help someone with a question or study all the archives before asking a question. Gentlemen: It sounds to me like we could use a FAQ--a list of Frequently-Asked Questions, accompanied by links to their answers in the archives. New list members could receive the FAQ as soon as they sign up, or be politely referred to the FAQ if they ask a question that's on it. (I checked with Dean Rudy, our list owner, and compiling a FAQ is okay with him.) The FAQ wouldn't be the end of the discussion on the questions, but rather, would keep people like John Kramer (and me, come to think of it) from having to answer the same question over and over again. It won't happen, though, unless we get a number of people (8-10) to volunteer to be compilers. That way, each compiler would only have to take a piece of our rather large archives. John Kramer? Laura Rugel Glise? Crazy Cyot? Lee Newbill? This could be a chance to make a substantial contribution to the list. I'm willing to coordinate the whole thing, or pass it on to somebody with more time and/or experience.

Hello the list, I recently joined the list and have enjoyed the postings thus far. I just picked up a nice Sharon Hawken this weekend, and I thought I would try a more "period correct" approach in shooting her. With that in mind, what kind of experiences do you fine folks have using either bear grease or mink oil as a patch lube? Track of The Wolf says it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I haven't tried it. Since I have both mink oil and bear grease on the shelf, now would be a good time to try.

Don't know if it ever ended or if this is a new one. Some of the rest of you might be having the problem I had, so I am going to pass it on. A while back, I quit receiving messages from this list. I figgered it was just slow, so I didn't think much about it. I posted a test message and it didn't come back to me but several others responded to me off list. For some reason, the only messages I received from the list were Lee Newbill's. Now he was quoting other, so I figgered that there must be something going on, but couldn't figger out what. I contacted Dean, and he said I was subscribed. I tried resubscribing again, and the server said I was already subscribed. Yet I was receiving no mail from the list. Now, we used to be subscribed to hist_text@ xmission.com. Now we are subscribed to hist_text@lists.xmission.com. I think the list got put on a new server and most were transferred over. I seem to have been stuck on the old server for some reason. I resubscribed to the list with this email address and started receiving mail again. I used the form on the website to subscribe. In the process, I received two different Welcome messages. One said that this was a moderated list, and the other said it was unmoderated. I don't know which it is, but I just resubscribed again with my old email address and am now starting to get mail there. A couple of other guys told me offlist that they were having the same problems. The cure seems to be to unsubscribe and then resubscribe using the form on the website. The URL is found at the bottom of each email received from the list. Anyway, I will be popping back in again soon. I see that Angella is back and that John Kramer is still contributing valuable info to the list. His "search the archives" suggestion is one which I will have to do, because it seems that I have a few months of postings to catch up on. C'est la vie.

Date: Sun, Mar 12, 2000, 5:36 PM Hello the camp, Think about this, 1. most trappers had a horse they would ride along with 1,2 or 3 pack animals. The reason for the pack animals was not to pack in, it was to pack out (furs). There for a trapper in a party caries in equipment and provisions for the fall and spring trapping season and when he takes his furs to market, he cached all the unnesecary stuff where he can reclaim it for the next years season. 2. Unless a trapping party was in danger during the trapping season, they would prety much stay in the same area until in was spring. 3. The majority of trapping was done by Indians and hides were traded at forts owned by diferent concerns the bigest two were American fur and HBC. The statements I have just made will only be held dear to me until someone straightens me out.
