I go every year to but i missed since 2020 because of the pandemic hope I’ll be back soon

[@jamesvatter5729]

Ok, Clay. I'll be the guy. What is that headgear you are wearing?

[@Clayonthetrail]

It’s called a wolf eared cap. It’s a copy of the original style worn by trappers of the fur trade. Allowed the trappers to get close to buffalo while hunting. The fur caps with the animals face’s on them sold at modern rendezvous are a “Hollywood” version taken from old sketches and paintings. These are simple rectangles sewn together made of wool, or leather, that look like ears when worn.

[@jaynewayne7012]

I'm in love

[@Clayonthetrail]

It is a cool event

[@keithmarks4359]

What is the style of hat you’re wearing any open

[@Clayonthetrail]

It’s called a wolf eared cap. It was shown in a few Alfred Jacob Miller paintings. It is actually rectangular, but when worn it resembles ears. The trappers could get closer to the buffalo while hunting, plus they are easy to make, out of scraps of whatever material is on hand. A lot of modern mountain men wear a fur hat with the animals face, and claws on it, but the simple cloth one is the correct pattern and style.

Where is fort Bridger? And where do you live in relationship to that event?

[@Clayonthetrail]

Fort Bridger is in the town of Fort Bridger, in Uinta County Wyoming, in the South West corner of the state. I live in Evanston, about 30 or so miles away
