Kilt Him a B’ar When He Was Only Three
he was born on a mountaintop
in tennessee 224 years ago on
the 1
7
th of this month. he died
in the alamo on march 6, 1836.
he was davy
crockett.
He was, it was later said in song,
“the rip-roarinest fightinest man,
the frontier ever knew.”
a lot about davy crockett is legend
that may stretch the truth a mite.
however, one thing we know for sure
was he did preventive maintenance on
his rifle. how do we know?
davy’s favorite rifle was a
.40 caliber flintlock he called
betsy.
davy said that from
1825-1834, he killed 125 bears
with old betsy.
davy toted his
rifle. you carry
yours. davy had
no maintenance
support. You have
plenty. but there
is one thing you
have in common.
when you
point, sight
and fire, your
life depends
on your rifle
being in the
best shape pm
can provide.
There is no
substitute
for pm. there
wasn’t on the
wild frontier
and there
isn’t in wild
afghanistan.
we know because he would not have
survived the “wild frontier” unless
he did pm. there was no support
team to run to for rifle repairs or
replacements where davy bivouacked.
although the record is
not clear, we can be sure
that betsy got him out of
plenty of scrapes with
villains as well as bears.
