The Way To Native Chronicles

My wife spends a lot of time making native crafts the way she was taught by her mother. So much time, I sometimes consider myself as a crafting widower! But she enjoys it and she does make nice stuff that a lot of people keeping asking her to make for them, so it's all good! It's also a great way to avoid wasting the hides of moose we harvest every year; turning them into things worthwhile instead.

Hunting, trapping, saw milling, cabin building, hide tanning, there's a ton of things to do in the outdoors. It doesn't always feel worthwhile at the time, but it's a good idea to capture some of those moments, whether by camera or video, because it adds up and, later, you're always glad you did.

Winter, with its deep snow, comes and you want the best tire possible for traction. What type of tire do you get? For many people, the obvious answer is snow tires, right? Well, just wait a sec... Let's hear what Canadians have to say. If it's traction in snow you want, snow tires may not be your best bet! You may be far better off with tires rated as "all-weather." This video explores this topic, coming up with results that may surprise you. Is it possible you are wasting your money and getting less traction using dedicated snow tires than you can get with all-weathers?

Having a set of tire chains can be a game-changer when traveling on questionable roads - especially if the weather is severe and you are in a remote region. Be it snow or slipper clay and gravel, tire chains can increase your vehicle's grip on the road dramatically. Often, on wet clay especially, the danger of getting stuck comes more from sliding off the side of the road. Chains can help a lot with that too. In this video I demonstrate the basics of putting tire chains on. For anyone having chains, simply possessing them is not enough; you should try putting them on your vehicle before you actually need them, just to be sure there are no issues (in my case, I actually did find one of my new chains defective and had to bring it back to the store for exchange). It is also a good idea to put the chains on before you get stuck, not after. As someone once said, "If you ever ask yourself 'Should I put my chains on?' Then put your chains on!" The chains shown in this video are the "v-bar" variety, where spikes protrude outward and provide a good grip on the road. They cost a lot more than chains that do not have v-bars welded on, but are worth it. Quality matters when it comes to chains and there are many makes available. The ones shown in this video are known as, "Light Truck Lightweight Canadian Spec V-Bar Tire Chains." For my LT265/75 R16E tires I selected the V320LWQC size. Be sure to check sizes on tire chain charts before purchasing your set because it's vital you get the correct ones. The chains shown in this video can be seen on the Canadian Tire site here: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/light-truck-lightweight-canadian-spec-v-bar-tire-chain-0301203p.html#Questions Coupling up your tire chains with some sort of "Spider Chain Tensioner" (as shown in the video) is also a very good idea.

When you are in a remote area - with no cell access and nobody in reach to assist - the stakes for getting stuck are raised dramatically. A lot will depend on how you assess the terrain ahead; whether it is traversable or not with the vehicle you are using. As a rule, the more inaccessible the region is, the more conservative your judgement should be. But you also don't want to be turned away too easily. The decision on whether to proceed or not can be vexing. This video show what, for me, is about as much risk as I'm inclined to take on, given the location. Others might differ on that assessment. So check it out and see if I got stuck, whether I was correct or not!

Interested in seeing what 2 guys, 2 ladies, 3 quads and a portable, gas-powered winch can do? In this video we drag a 12' x 16' cabin one kilometer through mud and muskeg to get it from one trapline (someone else's) to the other (our own). Wet conditions not permitting the use of a truck, we overcome many hurdles along the way, but got the job done anyway. You will probably find this video quite enjoyable. If you spend time driving through remote areas or need to drag out things like logs or moose from the bush, you may want to consider getting the gas-powered winch shown in this video. It's product called the "PCW3000 Gas-Powered Pulling Winch."

This video - part 2 of a previous one showing how to make your own shooting table - takes things to the next level. Now that you have your shooting table made, how do you carry it around in disassembled form, doing things like loading it in and out of a vehicle? With the weight and pieces of different shapes sliding back and forth, that can be an arduous task. But there is a simple solution. By placing 4 bolts through all the pieces (held with wing nuts), the entire table (disassembled and compact) can be easily picked up and moved around. This video shows you how.

The techniques required for stopping animal attacks differ from the more common defensive shooting disciplines which focus on human threats. This is because, in the case of four-legged creatures, the target is low and moving very fast towards you. As a result, shooting from a standing position will tend to result in missing high, over the animal's back. This video will help prevent you from making that mistake by demonstrating a more effective shooting stance. The principles passed along take a page from the "Proof Of Proficiency" exam that Canadian law requires handgun users pass before obtaining an "Authorization To Carry" (ATC) permit. Such permits are issued only to persons legitimately employed in wilderness situations, who may need to protect themselves or others from attack by wild animals. The handguns typically used (as in this video) are .44 Magnum and up, which also make different demands on the shooter regarding stance.

This video takes a close look at an unusual Ruger No. 1 - chambered for the .45-120 cartridge - and shares some of the history behind its making and the method of reloading ammunition for it. The .45-120 was a cartridge developed near the end of the buffalo hunting era (the one in the "Quigley Down Under" movie was a .45-110 - classified as "experimental" at that time). In addition to the custom chambering, this rifle also has a hand-made stock and custom engraving with gold inlay. In spite of those visual enhancements, I use this rifle the most for hunting moose, deer and bear (it works very well). The smokeless load I developed gets the 535 grain cast bullet going to about 1,600 fps; facilitating a fairly flat trajectory (which is what I want when hunting). Due to the incredible strength of the Ruger No. 1 falling block action and the large case capacity (originally designed for black powder), I could easily make this load more powerful than a modern .458 Winchester Magnum, but that would be more punishing than is necessary for my purposes. The rifle weighing about 11 lbs, with a muzzle velocity of 1,600 fps applied to the 535 grain, the recoil comes in at about 33 ft-lbs, which is not too bad.

The compact Mares Leg rifles receive a bit of attention as possible solutions for protection in the bush, but there's doubts about whether you can hit anything with them, so here's a simple demonstration to give an idea. This one is chambered for .44 Mag using 245 grain cast bullets ahead of 24.0 grains of 4227 with muzzle velocity of 1,640 fps, so plenty of punch for a little rig.

This video examines a frustrating jamming problem rifles with top-loading magazines are prone to and how to avoid it. The rifle used in this example is a Winchester Model 670 chambered for .243. Caveat: Rifles that have claw extractors (like the pre-64 Winchester Model 70's and 98 Mausers) must feed the cartridges from their magazines. With those guns you cannot manually load a round in the chamber and then close the bolt over top. Instead, you have to feed the round in from the magazine.

In this video, an attempt is made to determine how much improvement one can expect from using some form of case filler. Keeping all other variables the same, 12 cartridges are loaded using filler and another 12 loaded without. The two sets are then tested in the field using a chronograph. A number of circumstances can require filling cases with powder taking up far less volume than the case has available. A concern arises from this however: Unless filler is used, partial filling may lead to erratic combustion since the powder is free to settle in different positions inside the case when the primer ignites. A long-used solution is adding some sort of filler to take up the extra space, so the powder is kept in position against the primer. In this video I examine some pros and cons of this method. The rifle used is a Ruger No. 1, custom-chambered for the buffalo-hunting-era .45-120 cartridge, firing 535 grain cast bullets. Having a large case capacity (due to originally being intended for black powder), if you decide to use smokeless instead, you are going to end up with a lot of unused space, since so much less of smokeless is required. There are conflicting reports about the advisability of using fillers. Some warn that it can result in ringed chambers due to over-pressure if the filler wads up inside. Although not covering every aspect of filler use, this video does look at some of the risks/benefits involved and whether the same concerns apply for all cartridge types and shooting needs. After the range test, an analysis of the test data is conducted.

A firearm with a tube magazine can fool you into thinking it has been unloaded when it's not. This is an important safety issue owners of such guns should be made aware of. Yet I don't recall ever seeing it addressed by anyone, so I'll do it. The rifle used in the video is a Rossi Ranch Hand, chambered for .44 Magnum.

Knowing how to cut up a moose doesn't just save on butchering costs; it also enables you - if the animal has to be hauled from deep bush - to carve it up on the spot first, so you can carry out lighter portions, instead of entire quarters at a time. This is a common skill among First Nations since they often process their game right in camp. This video features two "Dene Tha" women to show you how it's done. The video is quite long but, if you want to learn, this a good way to get yourself prepared. The butchering shown is processing the hind quarters, where most of the best meat resides.

Just a short, fun video, showing my grandchildren helping out. It's a good thing to get kids involved with simple reloading tasks. They seem to take a keen interest in machines and mechanically crunching stuff. Just be sure to keep them supervised as they do!

This video suggests leaving a thick sprue on top of the mould to make the casting process a bit smoother. Also shown is a simple foot-operated mechanism for controlling the pour and the 'tandem' method of using two moulds at once when casting, which leaves more time for sprues to cool without slowing down the casting rhythm.

If you have a pair of vice grips, you don't need to buy an expensive bullet-pulling tool (especially if you don't mind ruining the bullet, once removed). The hammer-style tools tend to break and are slow anyway. This video demonstrates pulling bullets quickly and simply, using just a pair of vice grips.

There's a great sense of satisfaction, resurrecting the old .45-120 cartridge (used for hunting buffalo in 1890's) for modern use in hunting - bringing down moose-size game well within its capabilities. What this video shows is how I manage, using smokeless powder and my own cast bullets. Every step in the reloading process is depicted - even the melting down of wheel weight metal and casting the bullets.

This video discusses the issue of fitting reloaded cartridges so that the front driving band of the bullet engages the rifling of the barrel. This is made more difficult in the case of falling block rifles, since a rising and falling block does not provide any camming force against the base of the bullet to seat it.
