So the answer is yes probably, but I would like to see some documentation.<br />Keith.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562001301604097606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-51855143495715321612013-09-16T17:24:47.032-07:002013-09-16T17:24:47.032-07:00Keith, did trade kettles also come in copper?Keith, did trade kettles also come in copper?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05876804000652701777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-55205516909891962602011-06-11T23:11:05.013-07:002011-06-11T23:11:05.013-07:00No Jenny, I have no idea why the change.

Many different types of water bottles existed at the same time, pottery, leather & wood, plus of course glass wine bottles were reused for water & cooking oil. I have found nothing between the leather water bottles & the common wooden canteens.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562001301604097606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093666650139166859.post-57425956695259623022011-06-11T09:29:30.071-07:002011-06-11T09:29:30.071-07:00Neat!

The bladder allows me to hold 3 litres of fliud (not cider though :o) ) whilst on the longer trials whilst I find the knapsack far more easier to use than a modern rucksack as it gives me much better access to items without the need to stop and unload a pack from my back. Together they've proved an excellent combination of old and new.<br />Regards,<br />Johnmurphyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382223977388631947noreply@blogger.com
