The Campfire

As I mentioned in my last post, The Campfire is our online discussion forum, or as we prefer to refer to it, our online black powder community. We're a little stricter than many online forums, apparently. Because we are trying to foster a helpful and family-oriented site, we don't allow "flaming" or bad language. We also prohibit "ads" from users trying to sell things. Sometimes this has resulted in misunderstandings, but, as I like to point out, we ourselves do not exploit The Campfire to try to build our own sales, so it's not too much to ask that other members refrain from doing so also.

All in all, we're just trying to keep things friendly and open. The members are really a bunch of helpful folks, particularly to newcomers to our sport. They are always willing to give advice and try to steer someone in the best direction based on their own experiences.

Today there's a pretty active discussion about the right leather to use for leggings and one member has posted some pictures of one of his guns. So if you're new to muzzleloading or historical reenacting, don't hesitate to come visit The Campfire. Chances are you'll find a discussion of interest to you!
