Re: OT: Deadwood HBO Series
Wife bought me all three seasons on DVD. Think I'll keep her. One of the best westerns ever made. Heard an interview some time ago on the radio with one of producers. Said that the show was too expensive to make and there was no chance of HBO doing more seasons.

No Thanks!!!!
Without a knife or to you can't butcher the game you kill, and without an ace you can't build a Winter shelter, and ood cutting would be a eal pain.
A pack horse would be mighty useful as well.
My first thoughts exactly. Is a knife and axe equipment or weapon?
