russ;  and to all who shall read this Greetings;


In a prior post I made mention of "The Library". One of our members, russ, was offended by it. Also a few other comments were not so well chosen on my behalf.

To this end I do appologize to you russ, specifically, and to any others that may have felt that I may have been referring to them at that time.


So, that said, Shall we all go back ta havin some fun an sharein knowledge

Hankeye.......... I love reading what you write too.   You keep us entertained.  And Dryball, good choice on the jerky chew.  I kinda like it myself.

Takes a big man to admit when he might be wrong...

takes a bigger man to publicly apologize...
hank is a big man!


Russ keep the historical research coming - I enjoy it also and keeps me outta the library..  I know it is hard but we are a light hearted group and like our education in very small spoonfuls...

   I like a good discussion with both sides being stated. My problem is that some times I do not know how to put my thoughts on paper and say what I want to say or how to put my feelings in what I am trying to say. That being said I understand that here and in other topics there may be a misunderstanding on how some of the information being given is being received.
   Sometimes I have to go back and edit a post 2-3 time before
I will post it. Sometimes I edit to death and don't post it all.
   I would like to suggest that each one go back and look at what you are about to post, and see if it is really saying what you want it to say.

Dry some Mullein ,coltsfoot, both good for your lungs. I have smoked the mullein, not bad. Just got some coltsfoot that I have drying. Put up  The Hikers Notebook to see them. Dilly

Thanks Dilly. Where do you find these herbs?

[aka-kesler]

I too try to edit and proofread all of my posts ,good advice to all.  Now on to the subject at hand, These herbs should be able to be found at a Herbologist, or at some health food stores ,if they dont have it ,ask someone who works there and see if they know a good practical healer.  Hope this helps. Also there might be listings on the yellow pages on the internet for your area Dennis??  But I will have to agree that some probably did not partake. And from what I understand, a herbal mix would be more PC because Tobacco was at Rendezvous ,but you didn't always have it year around .  The Native peoples almost always had some kind of herbal concoction ,not tobacco.

sumac I always hears it was poison

[graybear]

There is a poison sumac that will affect you like poison ivy, but regular Sumac isn't poisonous. In fact, if you take the red fruits and brew them up, you can make "pink lemon-ade" or tea with them. Did it in scouts. Gotta have a sweetner for it though.
