Today was Caleb's Rendezvous where they get to dress up like Mountain Men, and gather to trade goods. They had to be smart in their bartering and try to get a variety of items- enough things to see them through the winter. Caleb's brought fish, fishing poles and rope to trade. He did really well...
Here's the photos:
Here's the fish and poles Caleb brought to trade.
He had some tough negotiating to do... his friend Steven in particular was a shrewd trader. Caleb ended up having to trade a pole 2 fish and a rope just for one pelt.
This is his good friend Ethan.
This is another good friend, Joren.
