Would be cool to see someone talk about "tacticool" gun devices of 18th century: self priming pans, captive ramrods, roller assisted frizzens, flash guards (like one on austrian m1784 musket) etc. But i guess its more of a gun nut historian channel channel thing. Non the less I enjoy your content, always love to see your videos, keep it up :)
Excellent depiction!! I enjoyed very much that you built a fire using your firelock and then took the opportunity to replace the charred punk wood with more from your surroundings. WELL DONE!!!
Amazing!! I'm gonna do some historical camping myself this week end! Thank you for the inspiration!! But you should stop punching holes in your tarp... next time find four small round stones, wrapp them near the corners of your tarp and tie up the stone with a cord or a rope, and use that to secure the tarp on the ground!!
Good evening from olde Boston town.. I'm a rev war living historian. Have done the camping out thing, so this is all too familiar. Good job, you portray the frontiersman well. I am an 18th century schoolmaster.
I’ve been following your videos for sometime. Really well done Sir! I’m going to be taking a scout tracking class with Craig Caudill of the Nature Reliance School in Kentucky later this month. I do much the same thing, but as a French Canadian frontiersman in Missouri and Nebraska. I hardily recommend you check out the “School Of The Longhunter“ held at Prickett’s Fort West Virginia every Spring. Would love to meet you sometime. Keep up the awesome videos.
@@claudeoverstreet8791 Thank you so much for your continued viewership and encouragement! That sounds like an awesome course to take. Hopefully we can meet up someday at the School of the Longhunter! I've been wanting to go for some years!
My great ,great, great grandfather told me to use flint and steel,because once u flashed the pan there was the task of cleaning the corrosive b.p off...and usually folks didnt carry a uncharged gun to use just for ignition of char. Liked the vid awesome!! despite the myth.
Yeah I got that pair from Track of the Wolf years ago right before they got scarce. I plan on ordering one from Callahan bag molds when I get a Kibler colonial in .58 caliber.
Wonderful video! Careful with those lock screws!! Really enjoyed the video! You must not have the ticks, chiggers, mosquitos, spiders, snakes, coyotes, and wild hogs that we have. I always sleep with a loaded rifle by my side, and I'll scratch for the next several days! Thanks for posting.
I'm always worried about losing lock screws! I usually put them in a safe place, like back in the stock, my hat, or my rifle tool bag. As far as small wood pests go, I use permethrin on my clothing and wool blanket so I rarely have problems with them. No hogs in central Kentucky, and not worried about coyotes, but I do keep an eye out for snakes. Thanks for watching!

It’s like woodsman ASMR.

Lotta information in this video! And there’s no talking!!! Very cool

Very efficient camo setup!
Thank you!
Great video that's the life 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Peace, quiet, nature, a task to keep your mind occupied. I see the appeal.
Great video! Love that tarp setup!
Thank you!

Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your adventures and information videos
Thank you so much!
Real good stuff. keep it up
Your awesome and awesome video be safe out there
Great video!! I'm definitely working in this direction. 🤠👍
Love the videos that you produce each week!!!!! Question where did you get the mold for melting lead?
Thank you! I got it from Track of the Wolf some years ago, but they're hard to find now. Check out Callahan bag molds for them now!
Awesome! Those scissor molds seem to be damn near impossible to find nowadays, unfortunately.
Look up Larry Callahan bag molds. I haven't dealt with him for a few years, but he's the best. Especially, if you want an oddball diameter ball.

Groovy
New fire lock? I’m used to seeing you with your musket…
It's a Pedersoli that hasn't been featured much on the channel. Thanks for noticing!
Love the content, Keep it up! Looking to learn bushcraft soon as a hobby and potential addition to mu hunting skill portfolio :D
Thank you so much! I highly recommend watching Dave Canterbury's videos for bushcraft skills!
If you are looking for different stuff for Re-enactment - Jas Townsend and sons and Dixie Gun works and Crazy Crow trading posts and Track of the Wolf
Definitely! I've been buying from them for years. Samson Historical and South Union Mills are great resources too.
Thank you for sharing my friend
