To She Who Has Old Hands - It would seem that your husband already has two
skills (at least) that could be used well in this wonderful hobby of
'buckskinning'.  Both photography and astronomy have applications in the
'period'.  Astromony could be applied to navigation, charting, mapping, etc.
I have met an amateur astromomer who did some research and came up with
'period' surveying equipment and gives one of the most interesting living
history demonstrations that I've seen yet. The "touristas" that come through
camp are completely fascinated.  The possibilities with a primitive camera
coupled with the necessary knowledge are just about endless.  

Many participants in rendezvous do not shoot, hunt, trap, make bows or fire,
but are actively involved in enjoying the comraderie, learning and being able
to share their skills with others.     Hope this gives you, and your hubby
some insight.   PJ
