Kaptein L , I need to build one extra tent for the American hunter who will be joining us on this hunt. Two 1880 era stretchers/camping chairs need to be constructed as well. An extra Oregon "wa kis " needs to be build to serve as extra storage space. A few forged hunting knives for the camp "trommel " needs to be forged as well..yes, as you can see a few items coming up shortly..

Thank you members. Positive replies are appreciated as always. Next year will be the first year an American hunter will be joining us on this hunt.
I am commencing with my preparations by starting with something small...
I will make my first batch of 1880 era washing pegs.

Those styled pegs were still in use by my mother right through to the late 60's before the modern type took over. When making them the lay of the grain is the thing to watch out for when making the line cut so they dont split in use.
Be watching for all the goodies that arise out of various forges and from workshop benches for this next hunt.
