buckskin and Wool

[huntertrapper]

for those who hunt without modern gear. Is the best clothing bucskin or wool? i prefer wool sometimes if its rainy. but bucskin is good at keeping out wind and its quiet. wool is too. but, what do you guys prefer? i am into the mountain man ways and wear only wool and leather but was wondering what you guys view was, thanks

i hunt in wool. most of my buckskin is givin away. only thing i dont like about wool are the damn ticks. seems like its the perfect surface for the little suckers to grab onto.

                          Bein' in southeast dont need wool. Hunt mostly in hawgskin er buckskin...............bob

[huntertrapper]

yeah it seems anything can grab wool. the jaggers seem to get a good hold. and i would imagine no need for wool in southeast though buckskin can be warm too, it doesnt breath well

  If I went all primitive down here,my choice would be loose cotton.It's too hot in Fl.

I like the wool, especially for leggins.  But I do keep the leather leggins to wear over the wool when it gets really cold.

I hear that, I think I would die if I tried wool.  Justin

I prefer cotton

mullet, here in florida i think we would be more inclined to wear a buckskin loin cloth and cover ourselves in mud to keep the mosquitoes off.  wouldnt you agree?

[jackcrafty]

Always hunted wearing cotton....didn't much think about it until now.
If I had a choice...hmmmm.....braintanned buckskin sounds better than wool.  If I got hungry (because I didn't kill anything) I could always eat my shirt.

the trappers in the fur trade era ate moccasins if they had no food.

Thats a good idea twisted. Im in florida as well . You might get mistaken for bigfoot that way.

  I don't know twisted, A little too much hanging out I don't want the skitters nibblin' on
