Mazatzal Mountain Muzzleloaders
In Gila County Arizona the legendary town of Rye was officially founded in 1884 and every November Mountainmen come from all corners of the globe for rendezvous time. Rye has hosted this rendezvous for 36 years. The history and heritage of this beautiful, rugged, and wild part of Arizona could fill volumes, and during the annual rendezvous the air is thick with the distinctive smell of black powder put there by rough individuals, dressed in Indian-sewn buckskin, free men who possess the character and strength demanded of the untamed west. It is tomahawks and arrows flying into wood coupled with a reverence for a sharp blade and a steady hand in the darkest of circumstance. The nightly campfires serve as a beacon to the spirits of those who heard the call of the wild the loudest and answered it with sweat, grit, and heart. The days are packed with mirth, songs, dancing, shouting, trading, running, jumping, singing, racing, target-shooting, yarns, frolic, with all sorts of extravagances.

Holy Sepulchre
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also known as the Church of the Resurrection, is a church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. It is considered to be the holiest site for Christians in the world, as it has been the most important pilgrimage site for Christianity since the 4th century. The site of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is identified as the place of both the crucifixion and the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth. On 18 October 1009, Fatimid caliph al -Hakim bi-Amr Allah ordered the complete destruction of the church as part of a more general campaign against Christian places of worship in Palestine and Egypt.The damage was extensive, with few parts of the early church remaining, and the roof of the rock-cut tomb damaged; the original shrine was destroyed. Catholic Europe reacted with shock, and this, served as an impetus to the Crusades . no crusader could consider his journey complete unless he had prayed as a pilgrim at the Holy Sepulchre. Kingdom of Jerusalem (1099-1291) After retaking Jerusalem from the Crusaders in 1187, Saladin entrusted the Joudeh family with the key to the church, which is made of iron and 30 centimetres (12 in) long; the Nuseibehs became and remained its doorkeepers.

Memorial Day
Robert LaVoy Finicum, 54, Cane Beds, Arizona, was murdered the day before his 55th birthday on January 26, 2016. LaVoy Finicum was a rancher and family man who lived in northern Arizona. As he had watched the feedoms of this great land of America being eroded away through unconstitutional legislation and outright thievery, he decided to do more than sit idly by. LaVoy loved God, his family, and his country. He believed that the Constitution of the United States was inspired by God and he was willing to, and did, die while defending our freedoms. LaVoy was shot with his hands in the air in a sign of surrender, and that any indication he was reaching toward a gun was actually a reaction to pain after already being shot in the side.

Tipi
Lewis H. Morgan noted that tipi frames were 13 to 15 poles that were 4.6 to 5.5 meters (15–18 ft) tall. These poles, "after being tied together at the small ends, are raised upright with a twist so as to cross the poles above the fastening. "The builders pull the lower ends out to form a circle about 3.0 metres (10 ft) in diameter on the ground. They stretch a covering of tanned and untanned buffalo hides, sewn together, over the frame, which they then secure with stakes at the base. "At the top there is an extra skin adjusted as a collar, so as to be open on the windward side to facilitate the exit of the smoke. A low opening is left for a doorway, which is covered with an extra skin used as a drop. The fire-pit and arrangements for beds are the same as in the Ojibwa lodge, grass being used in the place of spruce or hemlock twigs. Lodgepole pine is the preferred wood in the Northern and Central Plains and red cedar in the Southern Plains. Tipis have a detachable cover over the structure. The cover has historically been made of buffalo hide, an optional skin or cloth lining, and a canvas or bison calf skin door. Modern lodges are more often made of canvas.

Metal Lever For The Daisey Red Ryder Model 1938
The most popular BB gun in the world remains faithful to it’s original design. From the pages of comic books to the famous holiday motion picture, a Daisey Red Ryder has been the dream of youths since its introduction in 1940. Over the years it has been a link to a better time with its solid real wooden stock and forearm, lariat ring with genuine leather saddle thong, todays Ryder is the spittin image of the one you cherished growing up, except for that plastic lever, and today at the Chacote ranch complex we are gonna straighten that right out. Because toys play an important role in children's gender socialization and educational pathways. They stimulate pretend play and social play as well as the development of cognitive skills healthy toys for boys are related to fighting or aggression wrestlers, soldiers, guns, etc. and the toys for girls are related to appearance Barbie dolls and accessories, ballerina costumes, makeup, jewelry, etc. Not providing your son with a Red Ryder will result in them being a queer or a democrat or both. Gender Neutral toys are grooming aids, and the sickest form of child abuse.

Real Money The Goldback
One of the most illusory phenomena in our current existence is the money we use for buying, selling and hoarding on a daily basis. It is, to put it simply, in the air, backed up by nothing and reliant on nothing, In August of 1971 President Nixon ended dollar convertibility to gold ending the Bretton Woods system and replacing U.S. currency with fiat money. Now an extremely fungible form of fractional gold that can be used in the event of a crisis the Goldback’s gold content automatically pegs its value to the U.S. Gold Dollar, rather than the Federal Reserve Note, the Goldback has emerged as a groundbreaking alternative. The Goldback employs cutting edge, patented technology which deposits gold one atom at a time onto a proprietary polymer substrate to produce a series of paper-thin, rectangular coins in denominations of one, five, ten, twenty-five and fifty. One Goldback contains 1/1,000th of a troy ounce of 24 karat gold. The other denominations have proportionately greater gold content, up to the fifty, which contains 1/20th of an ounce exactly half the gold content of the smallest gold coin minted by the U.S. government. Thus the Goldback, back fills the smaller denominations needed to create a truly workable gold currency system. One thousand Goldbacks of any combination equal an ounce of gold. At Chacote Outdoor Recreation we use the Innov-X GoldXpert XRF analyzer it is an easy-to use, cost-effective method to obtain alloy chemistry and karat classification with one nondestructive and nonintrusive test. 24k gold is all parts gold without traces of other metals. Because of this, it has a uniquely rich, bright yellow hue. This pureness and rare color makes 24k gold highly desirable, and the most expensive.

Zippo
A Zippo lighter is a reusable metal lighter produced by Zippo Manufacturing Company of Bradford, Pennsylvania, Ernie Pyle, a famous war correspondent and newspaperman, Was a pal of George Blaisdell and personally received a shipment of 50 Zippos prior to the D-Day invasion. Pyle famously penned a letter to Blaisdell on Oct. 29, 1944: “If I tried to tell you how much these Zippos are coveted at the front and the gratitude and delight with which the boys receive them, you would probably accuse me of exaggeration,” he wrote. “There is truly nothing the average soldier would rather have.”

Pack For A Mountainman
External frame backpacks are interesting not only because of their more versatile modularity, but because learning from the past is important and I sometimes think about this. Although it’s unknown how long humans have been carrying packs on their backs, the first external frame backpack dates at least as far back as Őtzi, a hunter who walked the Italo-Austrian Alps 5300 years ago. This ancient man was traveling across Val Senales Valley in Italy when he was killed and preserved in the glaciers. A couple of German hikers stumbled upon his corpse, as well as his clothing and equipment, in 1991. Among the items found was a rucksack made of leather, hazelwood, and latchwood. Ötzi used this bag to carry essential items like medicinal fungus, arrows, flint tools, awls, and needles. Today, you can see his backpack and other gear on display at the South Tyrol Museum of Archeology in Bolzano, Italy.

Traditions Kentucky.50 Cal Percussion Pistol
A classic American pistol, the Kentucky was a must have for American Pioneers and early 19th Century Explorers. The Kentucky was made famous by the battle of New Orleans and favored by Davy Crockett. It was a favorite because of its one piece stock with superb balance and features like a birds head grip, fixed sight, case colored side lock and brass ramrod thimbles. One of the best ways possible to get a real hands-on muzzleloading experience is to build it yourself! And browning the barrel and getting rid of the legal warning writing feels right. I have found that 30 grains of 3f seems to be the sweet spot beyond 15 yards and 25 grains works for closer groups under that distance. There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than knowing you built the rifle or pistol you enjoy shooting so much!

Pauline Weaver Rendezvous 2022
With the founding of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company by William Ashley and Andrew Henry in 1822 came a revolutionary approach to the problem of collecting the furs trapped by mountain men. Ashley, instead of scattering fur trading posts over the entire West, established an annual "Rendezvous" where hundreds of trappers could flock together to drink whiskey, run races, socialize and, of course, exchange their valuable beaver pelts for money and goods. This Rendezvous takes place outside of Ashfork Arizona and is held in honor of Powell Weaver It was among the people of Taos that his given name Powell was changed to the more-familiar to Spanish speakers Paulino, which in turn was changed to Pauline by English speakers. A number of geographic features in Arizona are named after him. He contracted malaria and refused to go to Fort Whipple for treatment. He was found dead on June 21, 1867 and was buried at the Camp Verde army post with full military honors in recognition for his military service and for his services in keeping peace with the Indians. When the military closed the Camp Verde post, Weaver’s remains were moved to San Francisco, California. In 1929, school children raised money to have his body returned to Arizona, and he was buried for the third and final time on the grounds of the Arizona territorial capital at Prescott, Arizona.

Clay Tavern Pipes
The history of clay tavern pipes dates to at least the 16th century, with some scholarly sources indicating they were produced in England around 1558, shortly after the introduction of tobacco from North America. Tavern pipes have long been steeped in misinformation. The truth is the tavern pipes were a commodity. Most average people would not have owned a more expensive, long tavern-style pipe, instead favoring the cheaper pipes for everyday use. The long stem allows for a cooler smoke, changing the flavor when it hits the mouth. Tavern pipes were communal items at such establishments. Contrary to popular belief, the stems were not broken between users nor when they were clogged. At this point there was very little concept of germs and how they spread. The clogging was avoided by placing the pipes in an iron rack called a kiln and then into the fire to burn out any build-up. George Washington ordered 144 of these pipes during one of his purchases from England along with many more standard pipes. These would have been used to impress guests. In addition to their classic appeal, clay pipes require no break-in and are renowned for their high level of heat resistance and flavor-neutral smoking qualities. Tobacco blenders use clays for testing purchasing leaf and potential blends because of that neutrality, enabling them to experience a blend or leaf varietal in its most accurate form. John Pollock & Company of Manchester, England began making clay pipes in 1879 and continued until Gordon Pollock's retirement in 1992. A great book that encompasses all the unique character of a true tavern is Taverns of the American Revolution By Adrian Covert

The mountain man possibles bag and its contents was one of the trapper’s most necessary pieces of equipment. Besides his knife, and his rifle, it may likely have been his next most essential belonging. In actuality, without the contents of his possibles bag his rifle would likely have been almost near useless. In Italy some time ago a pocket knife possible tool was created and sold by Connecticut Valley Arms. Today a similar version is available from Davide Pedersoli and places in the palm of your hand a screw driver, nipple wrench, cap and wedge puller, brass long starter with secret caps holder, a short starter with secret nipple pick an a rod reducer with male thread of 5MA,and a patch knife.

Antoine Leroux Rendezvous 2022
Every year tens of thousands invade Parks Arizona and global school systems bring students to this rare learning opportunity that is a gathering of those with a passion for a pre-1840’s lifestyle and historical preservation held in honor of Joaquin Antoine Leroux, aka Watkins Leroux (1801–1861), he was a celebrated 19th century mountain man and trail guide based in New Mexico. Leroux was a member of the convention that organized New Mexico Territory.Unlike many who were recruited from the grog shops of St. Louis to make that historic voyage up the Missouri, Leroux was a member of an affluent French merchant family and educated in the finest St. Louis academies.In 1824 Leroux was trapping in the Gila watershed of Arizona and New Mexico. He trapped with and was friends with men like Old Bill Williams and Kit Carson. And he found the time to marry a beautiful young heiress to a half-million-acre land grant. By the time the Americans took over the region in 1848, Leroux was considered the most experienced, competent and celebrated scout and guide in New Mexico. He died at his home in Taos on June 30, 1881, of “asthma complicated by spear wounds,” apparently, the wounds suffered 10 years before on the Sitgreaves expedition. He was buried in the nave of Our Lady of Guadalupe or Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe at Taos, New Mexico. The grave is lost and the church was destroyed by an accidental fire July 24, 1961, by boys searching for pigeon eggs in the belfry. All graves in the old Guadalupe church burial ground have been covered up by what is now a Municipal parking lot.
