Just an old fat guy in Oklahoma trying to get out in the woods and maybe lose some weight and get in shape.
Not much talking, no background music, won't ever see detailed product reviews(enough of those channels already).
Will post videos of clearing woods around the house, hammocking, camping, hiking, who knows what else.
I earned the trail name of Great Pumpkin while hiking the AT since I love orange gear.

Current shelter of choice for my 2026 AT thru hike. Guy lines set long using a single pole offset to the front. I am a tall guy and being able to enter and exit shelter without crawling is a huge benefit for me. Using one of the extenders that come with the dual pole kit. Trekking pole set at 125cm at both points. High and tight. Still need to purchase the Solomid XL inner net to finish the kit.

Ghee making
มุมมอง 103 ปีที่แล้ว
Ghee is easy to make. Melt unsalted butter very slowly without stirring then pour butter fat from the top. The butter fat is Ghee, AKA clarified butter. Milk solid bits are fine spread on toast. Like a very soft bland cheese. Long shelf life without refigeration. I take it with me on backpacking trips.

DD 3x3 tarp tent. First attempt. Real time showing struggles with tangled lines and figuring stuff out. Came out alright. Hot in there when setup in the sun like this. Like a sauna. Raising up sides and end to allow more air flow is next expierement with it.
Shade tarp setup and take down.
มุมมอง 103 ปีที่แล้ว
Quick setup of a shade tarp to rest and have lunch under while hiking. DD 3m x 3m tarp. Inexpensive, durable, and heavy. 12' or so of cordage on the tie out spots. First time actually using it so had to cut and larks head the cords on the loops. Sticks for toggles secures the lines to the trees. Makes a good sun shade for sure. Will play around with actual shelters maybe in future, but I am a h...

Making cowboy style coffee using alcohol stove and coarse ground coffee. Cold water, add coarse ground coffee to taste. Will take trial and error for your tastes Put on heat and bring to boil. No stirring. Remove from heat and let sit a bit. Tap the pot sharply it will settle grounds from top to bottom. Splashes of cool water will do the same. Pour slowly and enjoy. If you do get any grounds in...

Good video
loose then beeswax. Ta-lo is all you need. ( lambs ta-lo is best)
I used to have this make and model of a one shot wonder and it was so accurate! I had the .56 caliber smoothbore barrel for it too that I used to fire birdshot from as a .28 gauge shotgun. I also used to have a .50 caliber T/C Hawken. I got me an Uberti 1858 new model army revolver during the summer of 2022 and at the same time I got me a Howell .45 Colt cylinder for it that I use to fire .45 Colt cowboy loads from my piece and I put up a video of me doing that recently
I had a Thompson-Center Renegade rifle in .54 caliber. It was a very nice shooting accurate rifle although not as 'pretty' as the Hawken, it was perfect for deer hunting as it didn't have all that shiny brass furniture. Unfortunately I sold it to finance purchase of a Lyman Great Plains rifle in .50 caliber..also an excellent rifle which I won some matches with. Wish I had that .54 caliber Renegade though especially since Thompson-Center got away from manufacturing 'traditional' sidelock muzzleloading rifles. They made some really high quality traditional style sidelock muzzleloaders back in the day.

I have a .54 Renegade I bought in the early 80's as a kit and worked it into a fine looking rifle that looks like a factory model. I only took it out 3-4 times and only killed 1 deer with it then into my gun safe it went for decades. I am getting the basic accessories together to use it again as a bit of a project. I will probably keep my moment of truth shot under 50 yards. This could be my Renegades last hurrah in that I have 9 muzzleloaders. Most are in- lines and 4 are absolute shooters. But this "project" will be fun and I hope of being successful. Most of my muzzleloader are T/C's but in the last few years CVA's have come on strong. But I am thrilled T/C is coming back. Can't wait to see what they offer. An Encore in .350 Legend would be a dandy to take a big buck with here in Ohio.
Great video! Curious why you don't pre-cut your patches before going out in the field.
Yea i my eyes inline are not muzzloders they should be ban from muzzloder season
I got one in 1984 it never let me down

Mazoloader still there
I've had a 54 Renegade for a long time. I actually built mine from a kit. It's a dang good shooter.
เด็กบ้านเราทำได้ลุย
Bought a .54 contender in a kit back in early 90s. I would love to find one these in great shape. They very accurate rifles. Shame they no longer make them.
A ripped patch can also merely indicate that your rifling is nice and sharp.
These are both junk and ugly. No wonder not made anymore. Lots of farcbetter makers.
What an ugly attitude.
Muzzleloader manufacterures? Like who
Pyrodex hangfires like crazy.
After removing the fired cap, blow through the barrel from the muzzle to make sure there’s no fouling.
I bought mine in 1984 , have taken three white tails with it “ one a 50 yard head shot” and still own it today and will till I die . The old TC was killed by in-line shit poles and S&W.
I have a. 54 T/C Hawken and it just will not group patched round ball however it will shoot the Hornady Great plains conical 425 gr through the same hole at 50 yrds with 110grs of fff pyrodex. Just a safety note, Do not leave the hammer resting on the cap , it can fire with no warning due to the pressure of the hammer . I have personally witnessed this on the range fortunately no one was injured as the line was hot and no one was down range. The rifle had been loaded and was just resting on bags .
I love these old smoke poles. They are painfully slow to load though. Just perfect for a world that needs to slow down anyway.
I have the same rifle, my wife bought it for me in 1990.
Around my parts, you'd be brush hogging a lot of dead grass and dirt
Have had lots of rain in southern Oklahoma this year. It is greener than normal everywhere around here.
I have the same rifle. It’s really accurate with minne bullets from a Lee mould. It’s a joy to shoot.
I'm surprised Thompson doesn't make traditional muzzleloaders anymore. I thought there would still be a market and demand for them.
Or you can shoot the cap off in a safe direction if you at the range and swab the bore for residue to confirm.
Just bought my Thompson 54 Cal and found your video thank you very much for the useful information. Excellent.!
Mountain Men did not plink, lead and powder were too hard to come by
It always sorta ruins a joke when someone feels like they need to explain it
But they did take bets on shooting. So some practice had to be involved.
