I can only think of that scene from the Naked Gun.
“Nice Beaver”
“Thanks, I just had it stuffed”

Warm, comfortable and waterproof.
But sure... it was all about status.
Honestly I have to wonder if these people have ever been outside.

The pelts were highly sought after. One of the worst, maybe THE worst war, ever in North America was over access to beaver pelts.
Native Americans, and since they didn’t have written language we don’t really know how many people were slaughtered over this little rodent.

No mention in the excerpt that the Vikings may have procured the beaver pelts from Greenland during their travels/settlements.
The beaver pelts would have been rare if only the Vikings had them.
Unless the Vikings raided Eurasia to get the pelts.

All it takes on FR is the word "Beaver"!
That's all it takes...:) Most men are only seconds away from being 11 year old boys...
