Pine Tar is an old time remedy for doctoring horses feet. I used pine tar in hoof dressing and also when shoeing a horse with a leather pad under the shoe. Beneath the pad it is packed with pine tar and oakum. I bought pine tar in them there days -- which was probably close to thirty years ago -- at the local feed store, or where ever I purchased my horseshoeing supplies. Pine tar is actually resin from pine trees that has been distilled somehow.

It's made from the sap, I have found (the tar or 'pitch') avaliable in different forms for different uses. Pitch Pine split into small sticks (also called Georgia Fatwood) is GREAT for getting a fire going; I see it available in catalogs for camping and barbeque supplies and in some places that sell fireplace supplies. Brewers' Pitch, available in bulk, can be used for sealing kegs, barrels, tins, sacks, gourds, etc., and I have found it through both catalogs (you might check Tippecanoe) and also brewers supply places, whether for home or commercial. Also, Pine resin, in a powdered form is used for baseball bats, axe handles and stuff you swing. A sporting goods store would be good for that stuff. A good place to start for sources near you might be the internet. Hope this helps.

You can order Pyrodex via UPS from suppliers. My advice is to find some local BP shooters either Skinners or Target Shooters and find out their sources for the REAL powder! No self -respecting MM would be caught dead with Pyrodexi in his horn! Waugh! Kidding aside, the sales of "artificial" BP is very strong in demand since all of these modern BP hunting rifles came out, but the main reason that fewer and fewer dealers are carrying the real stuff is because the local city & county restrictions on BP are getting tougher all the time. In most areas a dealer is now required to show proof of a fire-proof safe or some other means to keep the BP locked up at their place of business and they are also limited to the amount they can have on their store premises. Their insurance companies will in some cases, drop them if they carry real BP, it is more dangerous than Pyrodex or other smokeless powders in most cases if their store should burn down. I know of several dealers that have found it un-practical to carry for the little profit made from it. The only way a dealer could make a decent profit from it, was by buying it in quantity. The average dealer can't do that now because of all the new restrictions and city ordinances limiting the amount they can stock in their store. They don't have that problem (as bad) with the other powders. I can remember years ago, when I was a member of "The Burbank Muzzleloaders" Our club ordered 2FF & 3FFF by the keg and we would all bring our empty 1lb. cans to the 126 acre club range and open the underground bunker the club kept the kegs in. We would all gather round the man measuring it out like a herd of thirsty buffalo gathered around a waterhole! Them was the good old days....it ran about $2.00 a pound as I remember. Right now, I think I have about seven pounds of BP and I feel almost naked with so little on hand. Never know when the "Bugs Boys" might turn up. This coon feels like cach'en.

If any person hastles you about using the real McCoy in your front stuffer, point out that real black powder ignites around 320 degrees and Pyrodex, (ugh!), ignites around 600 degrees. You can get a faster and better ignition with the real stuff. I think Goex will still ship but you have to pay hazmat fees. I have found Goex at a couple of small gun shops around here. (Of course, I live two miles out of a big city.) I would just get on the phone to some obscure places if you haven't. You never know. You might get lucky!

Dealers usually deal in 25 # qualifies, in 1# cans. They mix loads, which is good , because if you shoot flint, you can get 4or5 fg, which is nearly impossible to get at a store. You will pay shipping and a hazardous materials charge, which may be offset by the savings per pound. Get a few shooters together and split the cost. As for storage, unless preempted by local laws, Fire Code allows you to store 20# in a residence, in a wooden box with 1" thick walls( for an explosion, the wood doesn't become shrapnel ). Your local FD can show you the rules in a document called NFPA 495. Oh, by the way, all cartons of powder will come with a label that says "Flammable Solid ", not "Explosive" . If you are concerned about ignition of stored powder, it is safer than gasoline or propane, which leak vapors that can find an ignition source. Just take reasonable care with spilled powder.

I have found that this movie comes up on T.V. every now and then and you can tape it. That is how I got my copy, along with the Charlton Heston/Brian Keith movie "Mountain Men". They are both good entertainment movies. Movie subjects seem to go in cycles, and I think it's about time for another good "Mountain Man" movie to come along. I would also like to see a good quality documentary done on the fur trade era starting back in the 1600's with the Hudson Bay Company in Canada, the Northwest Company, Manual Lisa's first fort on to the end of the main beaver trade in the U.S. I think someone like Ken Burns would be the obvious choice for a project like this. I also feel it has crossed his mind a time or two. To do it right, it would take about five two hour episodes though. I'm sure we would all like to see a correct documentary done on this subject. There are a lot of historians that frequent this list who could offer material for a project of this magnatude. How 'bout it Dean? I would also like to see a fur trade movie made with a good storyline and attention to detail like that of Kevin Coster's "Dances with Wolves". Everytime I watch his movie, I see something new that I didn't spot before. His attention to detail was refreshing to see. A far cry from the days of "painted-up" white men playing as indians, etc. It showed that it is possible to include proper details (like speaking sioux, with subtitles and showing what it was really like "running buffalo". Too many movies seem to rush through a storyline to save production time. Dances with Wolves was a fresh break from the standard Hollywood garbage.
