I posted the following a few days ago on another thread:





And Wissmiss responded with the following:

FYI: Those envelopes with the stamps are worth a few bucks to a collector.

Contact Hodgman waders co, they will or used to make waders for a custom fit. Get the kind with the canvas outer skin, they will hold up against beaver staubs or ? a lot better than the rubber. Make sure to allow plenty of room for extra laundry for warmth.

They always look so scraggly this time of year.

Tatiana, Just read your latest post ! Thank you for that !

Leave it to those women with their "fur babies" ...UGH.....to cause such mayhem on that forum. I'm sure glad that diseased mindset isn't on this trapper forum.

I'm sure the same reception would be for any other animals that a society would view as pets.

How fun it would have been if you and I could have been sitting together reading those comments and causing our own input of mayhem

At very least, exchanging some good laughs and jokes ! I bet they'd change their minds if they ever came into hard times and needed to feed themselves or their kids....

It's all in the mindset in preparing meat. As artists, you and I can find the beauty of the workings and anatomy of the animal fascinating in education.

Yep. Apart from the induans saying I stole their land life is pretty good. Get hungry a guy can go shoot a moose, deer or elk depending on the day from my kitchen window.

"America’s emergency oil reserve is dropping toward levels not seen since the 1980s, as the United States rapidly drains its supplies to stabilize global energy markets rattled by the war with Iran."

I thought we were filling this up?

I have both an otter coat and a beaver/sable coat. Both are very lightweight. The furriers who made them (they hadn't made any otter coats or beaver coats in a while) were surprised that the skins were so lightweight, the way tanneries process/sand the leather of otter and beaver pelts nowadays makes them very lightweight and versatile. Can't say that the otter coat is too warm. I like it more.


I've seen some older otter coats and they're often made like sealskin coats, vertical layouts, straight/sleek silhouettes, basically treated like heavy leather, design-wise. They look bulky and boring. Unlike seal fur, otter fur may be short but it has plenty of volume. Once this is taken into consideration in the layout of the coat, the fur really begins to shine.

And it's really a status issue. There are tons of identical-looking women with identical plastic surgery and identical sable coats in Moscow and at expensive skiing resorts. Everyone wants sable, those who can't afford sable buy marten or "Canadian sable" instead, it's just a standardized vanity item that parasitic women extort from rich men. Bobcat belly coats now, too.

Interesting TRAP SET^^^

I supervise a shop of maintenance mechanics. Got one guy really is a good mechanic but spends all day telling everybody else how to do their jobs and sprinkling it with how good he is at his job compared to everyone else. I've talked talked to him about his abrasive behavior a few times. He has no idea what I'm talking about. Completely oblivious that he's obnoxious.
