one of those days were the amenities so
hot that the air is sweating well it’s
about 20 degrees above room temperature
ever tell my glance at the river I’m
thinking I sure would like to go down
here to enjoy some of that cold water
there’s no rest for the weary
especially for frontiersman Colbert who
single-handedly building a cabin in the
middle of the Georgia swamps I think
that’ll work this is going to be the
handrail on the porch it’s a nice pretty
piece of driftwood weather the heartwood
of an old twisted cypress tree I’ve got
it started I’ve gotten foundation I’ve
got something to build on all of this is
a result of months of rebuilding I’ve
got to get the mainframe up in a few
weeks get the roof on and get the porch
started I like building where I take the
material that I find that I have an
interest in and try to figure out where
it best fits this is bent from about
right here on rather than straighten it
out I’m going to take advantage of that
curve right here at a fastening point
every tree in the forest is a little bit
bent a little bit crooked so if the
cabin is a little bit crooked a little
bit bent it’ll fit right in
I’ve got to gather a lot more materials
to finish my cabin part of what I’ll get
will be in the forest but I’ll still
have to buy some of the materials
with the need for building supplies on
his mind whoo that’s a really big beaver
frontiersman Colbert counts on
transforming a catch into currency the
last many weeks I’ve been doing a
combination of building and collecting a
lot of furs that’s not as easy as it
looks
he’s got a nice pelt that all add up to
bring a good price the money I get from
it will be invested in supplies to
rebuild my cabin it’s a challenge
rebuilding your life when some disaster
happens but it gives you an opportunity
to redo it again maybe a little better a
little different
the quest for beaver pelts another
animal fur helped fuel the North
American economy and furthered expansion
into the new world in the search for
untouched hunting grounds today some 80
percent of furs come from animals raised
on fur farms it’s a 40 billion dollar
industry worldwide
what I’ve done is cleaned off all the
meat and tissue so that the leather will
dry thoroughly it’s a really nice fur
but the next step so this doesn’t dry
all wrinkled up and stretch it on this
board this belt right here is worth
somewhere between 8 and 15 times the
price of a raccoon pelt so just from a
practical standpoint that makes them
really efficient catch so that’s a
finished hide it’ll dry out and look
like cardboard they should bring top
money for the fur industry
