Peter enjoys the beauty of Northern Quebec but doesn't get a moose on his hunt. He returns to help his neighbour, Bob Miller, work on his log cabin. Bob has gifted Peter his swivel gun and Peter gifts his pipe tomahawk to Bob. The two compare their Jim Kibler, Woodsrunner flintlock rifles and finish their day touching off the swivel gun.

Decades ago in remote SE Alaska I experienced the most amazing sound which filled every corner of the dense forest. My friend and i were truly perplexed. He looked up and alerted me to the most incredible avian migration I have ever witnessed. At least two thousand sandhill cranes were headed north. The memory was instantly seared into my mind. The sound is still ringing in my thoughts.

@TheWoodlandEscape 8 месяцев назад

I can see how the memory would be forever etched in your mind.

Hi Peter and Bob; That sure looks like a small log cabin you are building. Nice to see you on the vid Bob. Hope all is well with you and yours. I have been enjoying the CD you gave me.

Helping out a neighbour in building their cabin is a perfect example of how things were done in the 18th Century. Each person helped each other, and no one really was forced to 'go it alone'. There was always a community nearby. Also, that swivel gun is a nice piece of kit and a perfect addition to Kelly's Station. The only swivel guns I've seen are larger units, like a beautiful example of a wall gun at Fort York in Toronto.

The Ferguson rifle (top breach load) was designed in 1770 and used by a group of British soldiers during the American Revolution in a few battles, Battle of Brandywine 1777 and the Siege of Charleston1780.

@TheWoodlandEscape 8 месяцев назад

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder why the concept didn’t catch on for many decades.

@ColtenHenderson 8 месяцев назад

The Ferguson rifle was significantly more complicated and more expensive to build, and Ferguson the man died before he had an opportunity to push the governments to adopt the design

@krockpotbroccoli65 8 месяцев назад

@ColtenHenderson The Ferguson rifle was also very fragile and prone to having the stock crack where it went around the screw breech mechanism. This was also a significant reason why it never went anywhere and why it wasn't until the muzzleloading Baker rifle came about that the British military adopted rifles in any significant numbers.

@martinmeltzer2696 8 месяцев назад

I suppose that the decision to use a swivel gun in defense would boil down to how much powder & stuff that can be used for shot was available. The swivels would "eat up" a lot of both... as opposed to rifle & musket fire... that may not be as loud... but was probably far more effective & deadly. (I suppose that winning through intimidation though... is STILL winning! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!) I am intrigued by using Bee Wax for a finish! WOW!

@TheWoodlandEscape 8 месяцев назад

The bees wax finish is a very nice alternative to stains and very water resistant.

Don't give up so easily Peter! I've been seeing plenty of moose in various places both in Canada and the U.S. And hunting with bows even; but certainly with firearms. You just have to get into contact with folks who know where to go. And with the internet that is easy. I suppose each province must have their own "tags" but some prep should not eliminate those places either. Are you quitting b/c you only had tags for Quebec?
