    Burrows if crafted right can fetch a pretty penny. The burrow he dragged would fetch an easy 200$ when finished. So it's an easy trade.

    • @BigThree4Ever
      @BigThree4Ever Před 8 lety +21

      Burls can be pretty hard to come by.... A burl about the same size as the one Mick found is work about $325 USD. Now I would imagine Carl (Mick's friend) didn't bag the elk, since he does a lot of leatherwork he probably gets leather in bulk. A good brain tanned elk hide can probably run you anywhere from $300 - $400 USD, then there is two day's labor into making the pants. Also, Mick didn't trade just the burl for the pants. Mick also traded him a large jar of jam... a very large jar [we're probably talking a 2+ liter jar]. So in the end, it probably was a fair trade since the burl covered the bulk of everything.
