A Wannabe Hunter in Disguise! (Pics Added Page4)

Wannabe1 · January 07, 2011, 12:30:00 PM

I have a pair of olive drab wool WWII pants that I wear when it is really cold. As for darkening the bag, that will happen, plus with use over the summer it will tone down considerably.

My next item up for thought is some kind of mountain man hat. During the warmer early season, I dress a little more lightly.

hey bro how about a toque? its a heavy knit, wool hat that looks like a deflated football untill you stuff one end in to the other, most common were the red. i have a couple nice HEAVY ones, just say the word iffin ya want one!

Wannabe1 · January 07, 2011, 01:39:00 PM

Ken, before I am to old to hunt you and I will see a hunt together! To bad we live on opposite coasts!

Great looking capote! I want one in a green color.

I happen to have a hat fetish, so if you were offering one up to me, I accept.

If it wasn't me you were speaking to then all I can say... sorry!..lol

I'm not bashful enough not to ask!!

God bless,Mudd

Wannabe1, you could easily dye your haversack "as is" and without damage by throwing some black walnut hulls into a gallon of water and let it sit for a few days before tossing the haversack in. A little bit of heat to the natural "dye" and occasional stirring will produce a nicely browned color that is "period correct". Similarly, staghorn sumac berries and a few rusty nails produce a nice bark gray color.

i swear we must have been seperated at birth bro AWESOME frock and cold steel rifelmans hawk!

Wannabe1 · January 07, 2011, 05:02:00 PM

Thanks Ken. I had the frock made a couple of years ago. The plains quiver is from our own Jeremy here on the site. It is made of elk leather and is one of the softest quivers I've ever used.

I love reading this stuff.
I have learned three new words.
When you guys use words I am unfamiliar with I google them.

I wish you pleasant contrafibulations. As you no doubt know, we choose our words intrafrastically.
