The original 1838 Rendezvous site is very close to where I live, every July they hold a Rendezvous at the site. I don't actively participate, just visit. I do own a very high quality custom built 58cal Hawken flint lock, my goal is to kill an elk with it one of these days. I have also trapped...

Good topic I have a solid state hard drive with around 600 movies on it for such an occasion. I have a friend that bought a DVD burner and our friend group shared all of our DVD collections with him. He burned them all into digital and loaded them onto hard drives for us. I bought a 5TB hard...
