I'm sure most of us have a favorite tree limb in our favorite deer camp that we've used for the last 25 or so years. Has that limb gotten much higher in that time we've been using it? Possibly a few inches due to the larger diameter of that particular limb or maybe the soil has eroded a bit under the tree, and, granted, some of us have shrunk over the years, but that limb is basically the same height now as it was 25 years ago. Trees grow from the TOP, not the bottom, so how'd that skillet get that high in the tree. The tree didn't grow it up there.

I'd like to see the tree that grows from the bottom!  Think about it!  I'm sure most of us have a favorite tree limb in our favorite deer camp that we've used for the last 25 or so years.  Has that limb gotten much higher in that time we've been using it?  Possibly a few inches due to the larger diameter of that particular limb or maybe the soil has eroded a bit under the tree, and, granted, some of us have shrunk over the years, but that limb is basically the same height now as it was 25 years ago.  Trees grow from the TOP, not the bottom, so how'd that skillet get that high in the tree.  The tree didn't grow it up there.  Maybe there was a hell of a snow storm & the skillet was hung at snow level?

Michael, Figure on at least 3 hides, if they're pretty good sized. One for Fron of legs, one for back of legs, and the other for waistband and fringe. I'd line the inside of the waistband with cloth, so it doesn't keeeeeeeeeep stretching. I made a pair from the pattern in the Book of Buckskinning Vol 3 I think. Made a cloth pair to check out the pattern, then made a set out of brain tan. That was a few years ago and they've held up great to lots of camps and horseback rides. You'll find brain tan comfortable in most all kinds of weather. By the by, I sewed my with linen thread. Good luck!!!!

Michael, Lots of good tips reagrding making pantaloons are coming up. I'll throw in two more that I think are important. Allen mentioned using linen thread. I'm sure he would agree you should wax the thread as you go. Also, if you use braintan, I suggest inserting a thin piece of leather in all your seams. There's a name for that piece but it escapes me right now. Along the outside leg, the fringe will suffice. But on the inside and the inseam, stitching a thin piece of leather in will help reduce the stress on the leather. The leather is less likely to tear through where the needle holes have perforated the leather.

Trees grow from the top. If they grew from the bottom, there would be many high fences all over the country. If you drive a nail in a tree it stays at the same height. The tree will heal over it eventually. That's why a lot of saw mills don't want the bottom section of some trees. A nail can play havoc with a saw blade. New growth on a tree is from the tip of the branch. I'd like to see the pan too. It would be nice to have.
