JamminJim with new gear

[Red Badger]

Ok gang it has been several months now since I posted my first picture... it is time for some more criticism... (actually I just put up this tent I got and decided to get dressed up for the morning.... )

What do i need to work on?

[Dryball]

Your shooting! Looks good to me.

looks pretty good! cut the fringe off those moccs and it will look a lot better, also loose the teady bear, thats soooooo 1890

as you can see im wearing the same kind! without fringe.

[kit_carson]

p.s. i like the orange cat!

whats up with the satellite dish?

[heatherhistorian]

Prolly took the pic in his back yard silly...

I think you look good, but I would not use knee moccs for this area or for the NE.  Probably should dirty up your stuff too, but that is hard to do on new stuff...:)

You should have taken your bulldog out there if you were gonna have your cat around.  He probably got jealous. haha!

Looks good. As Heather said, get it kinda soiled. Wash it if you need to but just in plane water.

i would agree with crow killer,loose the fringe on the moccs but overall it looks pretty good . but what kind of mountain man lets a grizz sneak up that close,good thing he fell asleep in that second photo or he'd of had ya!,or did that cat attach him and save you

he was lunch.... 

Nope the pictures are my front yard... no place for the tent in the back yard other than a 75 foot vertical cliff overlookin the canyon...

The bulldog was by Di with the camera...

I'll loose the fringe on those moccs and have a new pair 1/2 completed from the pattern Micanopy posted on the site...

[voyageur1688]

The things I see that int right are the satlelite dish, plastic barrel, red thing in background behind canvas strap, modern chair in second pic. and like they said, the fringe jus ain right. Other than that ya done good. Git some dirt on the duds an ya will have it bout perfect.

Thanks guys!  Now to get a flinter and I'll be satisfied.

I'm portraying a Wisconsin area hunter/trapper in the 1800-1820 time frame, so the flinter is a must!  other than that I feel comfortable with the image I am presenting...

Now I just need to learn a few french words to be able to communicate wit the others in the area...

(wish they'd learn english like the indians have around here)

once you go flint its real hard to look back! a real good starter is the GPR, or contact some one like TVM or Tip Curtis for a gun "in the white" and finish it yourself! thats how you get a great gun at a fair price

[Red Badger]

Yes I know... but I have the new business just starting up and have to put all my spare change into it - at least until it starts to pay for itself....

Now if anyone has a poor unused orphan layin around.........  devel devel devel

OK,,,,,this is not going to be very satisfying for you, tip does not have a web site, tip does not have a catalog. all he has is a phone and this add in the NMLRA. but go a head and call him! he's a good ole boy to talk to!
