[Sca-cooks] OT Air Mattress (was Pennsic Pity Party)

[Micheal]

 You would have to go to a furrier and ask from here Caribou live some 1500

 I have seen Caribou hides running at 200 and up on line. As for getting 
friendly with Caribou hunters well I sorry I don`t know any Inuit here in 
Nova Scotia.
