love an atlatl, one combo i once saw was this 80 year old hunter, he used an atlatl with a rungu war club, hunt with the atlatl then finish the animal with a swift blow from the club edit: he also used to tally his atlatl for each kill, he had taken out 160-ish deers with it, and had 10 cross marks for bears and 4 circles for mountain lions

We went to the fare today in 2024. It's a shadow of what it used to be, somewhere to look forward to going to. Not now. There were a few knight's battling it out with each other, some archers having a competition between themselves. We didn't get to see one of my favourite things, the falconry display. There weren't the usual musicians and dancers, or the story tellers. There isn't a programme now, to tell you what is happening and when, and a lot of the stalls are selling absolute tat. It's also developed into a "Tarts night Out" , along with people dressed as fairies and girls with pointy ears. We won't be going again.

@theoutdoortraditionalist3 ай бұрын
@@jasonlowery1369 Ah I misread what you put. The egg or brain softens it and the veg tanning helps to actually turn it into leather (not sure of the egg head science though). the veg tan solution, such as Oak or Willlow bark, needs to be a weak solution first which can then get progressively stronger to prevent case hardening which means a strong solution first off forms a layer that prevents penetration.
