What a grand idea and you most certainly did a fantastic job organizing the event, not to mention capturing it all on film and I can relate a wee bit to that aspect. I’d love to participate next year if you’ll allow a Canadian!
Ethan, first off, thank you and everyone with the NMLRA for working in all the ways you do to preserve our history in its many forms. Without the NMLRA, who knows what knowledge may be lost. This was my first sort of shoot Iv'e been to, first time to friendship IN, and only the second time camping out. I have to say this was an absolute blast! Everyone was kind, knowledgeable, and helpful if needed. The woodswalk was fuper fun to shoot, the stories were great, and the memories are greater still. The trekking was super fun, I'll never forget it, and i can't wait for the next one! Keep up the amazing work buddy this was incredible!
Though my knees prevented me from walking much and I didn’t know what to expect it was a great time for me to get back into shooting and trying to fit into my clothes that I had made. Thank you so very much for hosting this event. I look forward to the next one and being better equipped and in shape. I learned so much just listening to all the stories and made some new friends that I hope will be around for next year. Till we see each other again, may the sun shine on your face and the wind be at your back my new friend.
Hey Ethan! Wow! OUTSTANDING! What a Great Time for everyone involved! I hope that this becomes an annual thing! The Candle Light Shoot was Inspired. But the things I enjoyed the most, were the gentle natured joshing, the stories told, and the great satisfaction of a shared experience! Well Done!
This was an incredible experience, thank you Ethan for providing us with this opportunity. Really did put our gear to the test, further more strengthen our gear for better use! We both learned a ton from it. Au cours du xviie siècle, ils entrèrent en contact avec les explorateurs, trappeurs et coureur des bois français et canadiens français qui arpentèrent leur territoire ainsi que celui du Pays des Illinois situé à l'ouest de leur territoire.
Thanks Ethan. Good to see folks enjoying the sport. Shinin' times. Ethan the big plus here is all the work you put into making this dynamite video is gonna draw someone into the sport.Thanks for that. Good job. Well done. And thanks again.
Good job. I myself set up a "few "in my time. They were enjoyable times with good memories. I would go again anytime. You see I love the muzzleloading too.
Ethan, it looks like I missed out on a great event. You did one heck of a good job & a great video to share with us. See you at Conner & Kazoo I hope...
Thanks for sharing Ethan a really awesome video. I purchased a woods runner flint lock, but I still have to site it in, so I've never shot it yet .where you all in friendship, Indiana?
Ethan, I love your work. What a weekend you folks had. I bet you could have used the Floop for warmth for sure. Are you a coach or instructor in ML? I been a coach for years. 1986 You do good work for sure. Keep the powder dry. Doc
I loved your video, and it reminds me of the time in my life when we had a lot commraderie (sp), and a common love of history while reenacting the American Civil War. Unfortunately we don't have anyone participating in similar 18th century living histories around me in here in Florida. Being in my mid-seventies, and in failing heath I doubt It will happen, but I enjoy all of your videos immensely.

Whoa that would be so cool. I’ve been watching TheWoodlandEscape for years! Please come next year and do a wee bit of history around the campfire
Yeah,, me too.
Ethan , you are a wonderful light of muzzleloading back in time . Our hobby needs more beacons of historical light like yourself. God bless you.

Great job and good on ya for taking this on, tremendous effort! Would be neat to see something similar for a primitive turkey season camp in PA.
Was a fun time. I’ll be back next year.i hope to see everyone I met. Thanks Ethan. It was perfect. Learned a lot.

Nicely done,Sir.
Very inspirational. Reminds me of the shoots out here in the West that have disappeared. Thank you Ethan for continuing the tradition!❤
What an awesome event I wish we had something like this in Arizona 💪🏽💪🏽🇺🇸
Great video. For catching a spark, I swear by charred punk wood. All you need is one little spark.

The first video of yours I watched 50 times. Seasoning barrels clearly 😊
Great video ! Great event! ….Should help to encourage lots of people.

Now ..... think about doing that every day for months. Fun trip, Thanks.
A very well filmed video.
Looked like fun but travel from NW PA to Friendship would be a journey in itself.
Was going to come to that, couldn't pull it off this time. Looked great.
Best part was hearing you got some more hooked and buying rifles ,great stuff 🤠
I’d be interested the next time !
Wow, that looks like an amazing time
What an awesome video. I really enjoyed this. Looks like so much fun. I think I am going to watch it again.
Thank you!! It was a lot of work but very worth it.
looked like everyone had a fun time.
Excellent! I will definitely try and make it next year if you do it again.

Great Video!
Wish I could have been there.
Really cool!
Great video
Thank you Gene!
Awesome weekend
Oh man that looks like it was a ton of fun. I wish I had made it.
If it looks like it will be the same time next year, I’ll block the dates out as I’d love to make the trip and make the trek.
This video reminds me of my younger days doing the same thing with my uncle
Huuuuyyyyyyyyyyyy huuuufffffffffffff que bien 👌👍 esos concursos de tiro deportivo con Armas tradicionales o Artesanales
I would like to go do that. Looks like a great time
Hey, how do I participate in one of those.
