Used to be my favorite thing to get when I was growing up, they used to sell deer skin shooting mittens with white plush fur inside. You could grab a cold poker from an unlit fire with them and not feel a thing!!!
Good luck on your trip, hope you have a good one!! I love the deer skins too, especially while working with my axe and processing fire wood. They just have that feel to them!! Great subject Brother!!
Wow, that looks like really awesome gloves BrotherST!! As you say, the gloves is a very, very important thing to have with you!!! Thanks for sharing a great video, and have a great weekend!!
Because my hands are small, I go to a store on Circle Drive here in Saskatoon that sells work wear. I can buy Watson Deer Hide gloves size small. In Mark's I've haven't found size small in ages,mostly Medium to XXL
It's in the strip mall where OK Tire is, they have a RED WING Shoe sign above the main entrance. Northern Factory Workwear 3 602 Circle Drive East. 306 653 4800.
When I’m working with knifes wildling a stick or doing fine work I like to have bare hands but if I’m chopping down a tree with an axe or something I prefer to have gloves and I love deer skin
I did not realise how heat and flame resistant deer skin is until the day that I wore my gloves to pat the burning grass out around the camp fire. It certainly saved a few blisters from putting it out with my bare hands and I felt less heat than the day that I rubbed it out with the knee of my jeans. The gloves went slightly hard, but a quick rub with some Neatsfoot oil softened them up again. Have you found that your gloves survive heat and small flames fairly well.?
@@canadian_wolf8395 They are certainly useful when burning embers spit out onto the dry grass. It is better to return them to the fire than crush them with your boots and still risk leaving them smouldering. I still remember the day that the dry leaves started smouldering too far from the fire to have been caused by an ember. We concluded that when my friend had stomped an ember a few minutes earlier it had jammed in the tread of his boot and fallen out as he walked away. When we are walking in a dry area, my friend also pinches his cigarettes out when wearing his gloves. It has left them stained, but the Deer skin has never gone hard and cracked. It is surprising how much you just take good quality gloves for granted once you start wearing them.
