What type of willow did you use? I have a water willow in my front yard. Will that do to make willow char? I really like your videos--I always learn a lot by watching someone else do something, like you showed hitching the load on the mule. Keep 'em comin'. I got all my MM gear finally and now I need a rendezvous to go to. Not very many in Tennessee.

Hi Bryan, that saddle fits every hayburner I ever put it on. I was told by the man I bought it from about ten years ago that it was made by Bob Schmidt, he was in Montana . Sadly I will be selling it soon as my days in the saddle are about done.

Guys, regarding making char material, I've heard that you don't want any flame coming out of the tiny hole in the top of the can. Is that true?
@MikeKatona
5 жыл бұрын
That is correct, and there won't be. Keep the hole small and the punk will not have enough oxygen to make a flame. When the smoke quits give it another 30 min. and set out to cool. Don't open while still hot or it will burst into flame and...you lose.

I am happy for you. I grew up in NM on a ranch and have had horses and mules my whole life. I am 77 years old, still have two horses and one mule, live in a town of 350 people at the edge of the Eagle Cap Wilderness in Oregon and pack into the hills about 40 days and nights each year. I can also still get in my Navy uniform from when I was in Vietnam. What do you do? And incidentally, remember what Thumper's mother said?
