Hunting Gear for the Most Distinguished Gentlemen Hunter

Featuring The American Heritage Series at CCW Hunting and Game Calls

By Paul Stevens CCW

For those of us who grew up in the 60s, when the Internet was not around and very few hunting magazines were even being published, the main source of information on anything related to hunting was awaiting the next issue of Outdoor Life, or perhaps Popular Mechanics.   Pictures and legendary hunting scene paintings always caught my interest; it was not as much about what was being hunted but the hunting gear being used.  It was the combination of beautiful custom leathers, shotgun shells, game calls and some type of high end custom shot gun, with a hand carved gun stock that enhanced the appetite to someday be able to find and afford that type of gear for my own hunts. 

In looking at some of the famous hunting scene paintings by those like Norman Rockwell I could actually feel like I was a part of the hunt-- watching the hunting dog flush the birds, the shot gun and the smell of fresh gun powder.  Probably the most interesting were pictures of wealthy British or American hunters, who dressed from the hunting hat down to the fancy leather knee high boots. The attention to detail of the rich leathers, the warmth of a hunting gear coat, the feathers showing from a filled game bag, and highlights of the personalized initials, is what I would dream of actually reaching out and touching someday.

Today I actually have this legendary, yet affordable gear for every hunter.  As I developed Cottage Craft Works and CCW Hunting and Game Calls I knew, clearly, that I wanted to recapture the nostalgia and memories of those famous legendary hunting scenes.  I was not interested in the mass marketing of imported low quality gear, but only the very best gun accessories, outer wear, hunting calls and hunting gear.

Our hand carved gun stocks were featured in the 2011 Outdoor Life magazine, to be featured in such a prestigious magazine that I grew up with was a dream come true.  Imagine exquisitely detailed images of your favorite hunting scenes—right on your gun stock! This talented Amish artisan can detail fabulous hunting scenes into your favorite gun stock, or one of our custom replacement gun stocks.

Our Coyote Leather Company hunting gear is the type shown in legendary hunting photos.  Coyote Leather products are handcrafted the old-fashioned way using the finest American tanned premium leathers and hand-stitched materials. Coyote Leather designs unique handmade leather hunting accessories with the outdoors-man in mind.  Coyote equipment delivers excellence, distinction, and workmanship for the discriminating hunter and, more importantly, enhances performance in the fields. 

Our beautiful hand crafted hunting and game calls like all of our gear are of heirloom quality. Our turkey box calls are made from premium quality hardwoods, crafted with fine joinery to show contrasting woods, then engraved hunting scenes followed by a high quality finish.  Duck and goose calls are hand turned on a lathe then engraved and finished.   

 

Take a look at all of our CCW Hunting products; personalized engraving and custom made items are available.  Purchase our American Heritage Series gear at http://www.cottagecraftworks.comhttp://www.cottagecraftworks.com/hunting-outdoors-c-31.html   Cottage Craft Works and  CCW Hunting and Game Calls provides a source for old fashioned handcrafted gear that is still made today using rich American tanned leather and craftsmanship knowledge handed down from generations.

It has been specifically designed as an all-purpose fruit press which is capable of grinding and efficiently squeezing apples, grapes and other fruits and vegetables.

The "Apple Eater" grinding attachment (included)  is conveniently mounted on the back of the press - allowing the "pulped" fruit to fall directly into the tub for squeezing (however, this attachment can be mounted independent of the press, allowing both press and grinding operations to take place at the same time!)

 *** The Best Buy****The Complete Apple CiderPress. $720  This unit has an attached apple grinder and Heavy duty 1" diam. pressing screw with Acme thread to exert a powerhouse of pressure with a minimum effort.

The optional Wooden Hopper holds 35 pounds of apples and makes grinding easier and faster.

 For the large scale to commercial processor- Double-Tub Cider Mill & Wine Press $840

The American Harvester Cider Mill and Wine Press is a combination of the best features found in different mills and presses manufactured around the turn of the 20th century. By the early 1900s, the double-tub model cider mill was by far the most popular. The rugged 4-leg construction utilizing good hard wood and large amounts of cast iron make this unit appealing to farmers and orchard growers.

The American Harvester mill has an advantage in design that allows both the grinding and squeezing to take place at the same time. Also, the grinding unit on the American Harvester reduces apples to a "pulp like" consistency which allows a more efficient "press".

In short, the American Harvester will produce the most cider from the least amount of apples in the shortest amount of time... better than any hand operated unit on the market!

The Christian Back-to-Basic Movement

In today’s economy it is difficult to find a sector of the population that has not been negatively affected financially.  People of all ages and faiths are trying to find a balance in life and looking for ways to trim the household budgets and live a more frugal self-sufficient lifestyle. The freeze in Social Security cost of living increases and indications of an increase in the age requirements before Social Security Benefits can even begin; only seem to be adding to the stress and uncertainty to those in or reaching retirement ages.  More concerning is the fact that this no longer makes front-page news, and many seniors are even unaware of these types of discussions.  It often feels as if the country is slipping into a feeling of apathy – and depression, loneliness.

The younger generations are finding it more difficult to find jobs, start a family, and live the American dream.  In many ways, the lessons learned of coping and surviving such historical times as the Great Depression are only held in the minds of those seniors now reaching into their 80s and beyond.  Lessons can be brought forward today and shared with the younger generations on how to live credit free, make things at home, bond as a community, and work together to stretch the dollar. 

At Cottage Craft Works we believe our mission should be more than just a mail order supply house, we believe in supporting those looking for a balance in life and want to help support those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle.  You will find throughout our site and our blog free information on ideas, on how to make things, recipes, and even kits and hardware to make your own products.  We also offer over 200 books dedicated to every aspect of self-reliant and self-sufficient living.

Religion and worship are very personal matters; therefore we do not openly promote any particular faith on our site or try to draw people into any particular way thinking about religious beliefs. You will note an intentional Christian based welcome feeling across our site though, as many of our products are made by strong Christian followers, who still close up shop on Sundays in order to worship.  We also believe, there exists a strong correlation in spiritual needs and support for each other, and our neighbors at all times but even more during trouble times, as many are encountering very stressful domestic issues. Studies suggest people are seeking and turning to faith and worship to experience comfort and hope in a very troubled world. 

Cottage Craft Works offers products and support under our Personal Needs tab.  Under this tab you will find Faith-Hope-Family with products for Christian based needs.  You can even subscribe to the popular Keepers at Home Magazine.  Many of our Amish cookbooks have been developed from recipes from readers of the Keepers at Home Magazine.  When you are in this section be sure to check out the beautiful Bible on a scroll including the handcrafted wood support stand.

The Frugal American Family and American Made Products

If you are looking to find old fashioned American made products you are not alone.  People want to turn back time--they are tired of the cheaply made copycat items that look like the originals but never work like the originals they remember from their childhood.  American people are frustrated over the loss of jobs, after American based factories faded away to foreign soils to make these products cheaper.  

Mixed within the overall decline of quality came the theory of planned obsolescence, where if you built a quality product that would last a lifetime, you would at some point be out of business because no one would need to purchase again.  Then  came corporate greed, with less regulations companies found they could take short cuts in the manufacturing process to make even higher profits, some used recycled items containing toxic chemicals, and heavy metals, others did not invest the time into the expensive research and testing to be sure their products were safe and made to last.

There are several other movements occurring across America. Some believe in the potential collapse of the economic system and are scrambling to find back-to-basics self survival gear and non-electric products.  Others are looking for self defense because of the increasing crime and uncertain times we are living in, others are turning back to living off the earth to rid the potential of toxic chemicals and contaminants being found in the food supply chain, or are looking to go “Green” with energy savings and reducing their carbon foot print.  Others are simply unemployed over extended periods are looking how to transform their back yards into a food producing and income producing ventures.

One thing is for sure-- old fashioned American made quality products built to last, that are used to produce homegrown and homemade items are becoming the “New in Thing” for the American family. Frugal back-to-basics living is no longer being viewed as being poor but a necessity of daily living.

Cottage Craft Works located at http://www.cottagecraftworks.com  has assembled a full line of old time American made products still being made within the cottage based businesses and small shops from across the country.  The majority of the products are Amish made and used daily in the Amish back-to-basics way of life, while other products have been found in the back roads and small towns of America from trades and craftsmanship passed down from generations.  This is not “Fu Fu” stuff but real products used daily in the home, garden, farm, ranch, hunting and building construction for those seeking to live a more self-sufficient lifestyle.  Corporate greed and planned obsolescence has never crossed these people’s minds, in fact it’s quite the contrary, as they have built their business and livelihoods on providing quality products to their closest neighbors and small communities.

During the Y2K scare people overwhelmed the Amish communities for non-electric back-to-basic items, in fear that the country would be without electricity or an infrastructure.  This level of uncertainty is beginning to climax again for those same back-to-basic products.   It is not being hyped on the front pages of newspapers as a single issue like it was back then, but the demand to find these products is increasing just as much now.

Across America people in some form have assembled emergency supply kits to survive several days without electricity or infrastructure if no more than to survive from earthquake, storm, or other natural or man made disaster, others are making the move to total off- the- grid in-dependency.

Cottage Craft Works offers over 200 books on self-sufficient living topics.  From building solar/wind efficient housing, raising livestock, organic gardening, to homemade products and cooking from scratch recipes you will find a book on every topic of self-sufficient living, including making an income from self-sufficient products.

If you need long lasting patio furniture you will find poly plastic recycled furniture under the Patio tab along with Amish Wind Chimes.  The Poly lumber is UV and rot resistant assembled with Stainless Steel screws and hardware.  The furniture is ideal for coastal areas subject to saltwater spray.  The 401 Freezeless Water Hydrant is also made of Stainless Steel ideal for coastal areas as well.  Cottage Craft Works carries a small Amish made manure spreader and will be adding other small hobby farm implements.  Small Express wagons are also located under the Farm and Garden tab.

Entering the Hunting and Outdoors Sports tab is like walking into a full line sporting goods store, except the quality and the craftsmanship of the items will rival anything on the market.  The hand carved gun stocks were featured in the March 2011 issue of Outdoor Life magazine.  The hand tooling detail on the custom leather products from the holsters, ammo belts to the gear belts are all top notch heirloom quality.  High end game and hunting calls perform as well as they look but the prices are as reasonable as the big gigantic sports and hunting stores.  This the type of gear that made legendary hunters, hunting gear that will pass from generation to generation. 

Cottage Craft Works strives to bring unique items that just can’t be found elsewhere.  They carry a  4-1 combo turkey call that has all the turkey locator calls built into one handsome handcrafted unit.  American made briar proof coats, vest, bibs, and chaps are also available in this section along with gun accessories, blinds, and outdoor sports items.  This is where you can still purchase the red metal runner and wood snow sled, croquet set, and an easy up volley ball set.  This is the section where you can find two sizes of a very handy all aluminum bicycle cargo trailer.  It is a light weight trailer that easily attaches to any bicycle without using an additional hitch.  You can carry groceries and supplies, camping gear, or use it at work to transport gear around large factories.  The cart is ideal for island living or where traditional automobile traffic is limited.  Bike mounted police and emergency workers can also use it to carry gear and emergency equipment in and around crowded events.  Best of all with its convenient handle you can roll it around the yard as a yard cart.

Under the Building Products tab you will find the Natures Head a self contained composting toilet.  It uses no running water or sewer plumbing.  It is odorless and even approved by the US Coast Guard for on board toilet facilities.  You will find complete restoration services, for duplicated spindles and house trim, as well as cupolas and copper weathervanes.  Solar and wind power kits will be added to this section in the near future.
