Nothing else in the local area - this is Mountain Man country. I run with a couple guys that do MM and another couple that do Colonial. Good bunch of guys with brains full of info and talented hands - I'm good... Unfortunately, I'm not as lucky. I will coming up this October/November if I can raise interest in a squirrel hunt/trek and see what happens. I know it will not be an authentic hunt but at this point I will take what I can get. How about a thread from those in the know about planning a trek?

We keep it pretty simple - we pick a place and people come, bringing whatever period gear might be needed for the trip. The discussions around the campfire are the most valuable and questions are addressed there. Sometimes questionable items are brought (one time, it was a modern folding diamond sharpener), and after these campfire discussions (and some good-natured mockery), said item is never seen again... As you are just starting this part of your journey, make it as easy as possible and keep the requirements as loose as you can tolerate. You might give a date, place and theme (squirrel hunt, 1700-1830 gear, boat/canoe, winter toboggan, other).
