Found your channel via a reference from Woodland Escape. Good content, I've subscribed. You mentioned Ft. Dobbs at the end, is that the one by Statesville NC? Are you in NC? Looking forward to seeing your other videos.

Hello 🙋‍♂️ my friend. 👍 skills 🔥

BTW, Merry Christmas, friend.

Me too. Please don't take my comment as too negative. You do great work. ...Just a point of discussion. Flintlocks have a longer history than cartridge guns. Tools that are unreliable are rarely so sucessful.

Great video as always.

Nobody intelligent really cares. 😂😂

Great video. Good information. Totally disagree with past expectation of 100% ignition. Modern factory locks and cut flints are a far cry from well made locks n flints of yester-year. I shoot a custom PA rifle and a custom Trade rifle. I get near 100% ignition, because I owe quality, buy properly sized hand knapped flints and am tedious about their alingment and care. We shoot mzzldrs for fun. They shot for life. They expected more.

JUPITER? It’s SATURN THAT HAS THE RINGS🤪😂

Glad to see you carry a large powder horn. I made mine from a Highland cow horn and it's a wee bit large

Anthony, what are your thoughts about using greased tow over the top of the ball to prevent it rolling forward. Some of the smoothbore barrels recovered in the Voices from the Rapids book were loaded with round ball and wadding in front of it. TY

What I really want to know is if you drink spa instead of brown ale

Another great video. Noticing your large powder horn . I think it warrants a video on powder horn size. Would a longhunt party carry avg size and refill at camp or would they carry large powder horns. Maybe a future video idea.

What a cool experiment! This was an excellent video. Merry christmas to you and yours.

Its about using equipment thats authentic: polycarb safety glasses on 🤓 😂 always gets me

They had molds and were capable of lapping them smooth.

Interesting study as always

Good, usable information and first class music! Thanks for both!

Fun video.

Hello from north Idaho! Enjoyed the video and Merry Christmas to you and your family!🎄

Good evening from Syracuse NY and MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone

Very enjoyable video. You are definitely living history and testing what has been historically recorded as technique. I very much enjoy what you are doing and admire your research prior to conducting your testing. Merry Christmas to you and your family, and may 2025 bring you success in all of your endeavors.

That was a fun video! Interesting and informative

Great video. Black powder is more reliable than most really think.

Are you gonna do any winter videos?

What a great video!!

Excellent video my friend!!

Very interesting, but I wish ya had put it on paper and used a bench to show the true accuracy. Reminds me of a bag mold i bought for my .40 . When I went to load, the ball wouldn't go down. Scratching my head i removed the patch and tried again... no go ! I mic the balls they were everything from 41 to 43 caliber 😢 It's really kool 😎 that ya made the mold and shot the balls!! Thanks 👍 😊

What is the name of the lively fife & drum tune you’re playing in the background?

If it's got wings .. leter fly 😅

Ouch! That had to have hurt your fingertips! 😉

You cheated! I don't know how , but ya must have cheated some how 😅 Or dam yer good 👍 lol Nice job 👏 👍

John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

How would they have washed and gone to the bathroom? If you don’t mind me asking. Thanks!

Part 2 ?????

Aste una prueba. Con el mueye del rastrillo . Aver si te tira chispa puede ser que falte un poco más de preción . Mi saludos amigo

This episode is just lathered in good information.

Can't be much different than the swan shot they used to make for small game, none of that was ever really round for the most part.

Bob Ross and Bluegrass, the perfect combination

Another great video. Very informative.

I’ve been wanting to make one as well and I thank you for an enlightening tutorial! Have you researched how they made them without the aid of modern tools?

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the fine content. Your clip from part #2 looked pretty good. Thanks again for taking the time to put this video together.

Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your adventures in history

John 3:16✝️❤️

Amazing job man ..more ppl should make their trail tarps..no archeological evidence exsist to prove lundseed oil was used on this scale. .because the fabric is organic and would if broke down ..but it's the only thing of the time that they would of had ..I am alllll about historical accuracy but sometimes u just have to go ..yeah that's what makes sense for the time ..other wise it's a 50 / 50 chance with untreated fabric ur not going to wake up wet or.. pay very close attention to the weather forecasted befor u decide to have an overnighter or attend an event .

Good for u for using hemp ..cotton canvas wouldn't of been found untill after 1800 ..linen also would been period correct for the time ..but both would if been expensive at the time in such a large size ..I have been a reeinactor for over 30 years and I always got a kick out of seeing the mountain man time period portrayed with huge tents beds the wife the kids ect.. they were in fur trapping bigades of men ..period...and most never bothered dragging a tent on a pack horse because most didn't spend the winters in the brush ...that's what the large scale fur houses or forts were for ..the hbc the nwfc ets .. even civil war reeinactors.. yes they had canvas dog tents ..but nothing at the time would of been water proff and still kept that canvass white ... portray a long hunter from the 18th century...and make sure ur outfit and firelock are as accurate as can be then camp over night in a chemical treated bright white machine sewn brass gromited tent big enough to house u the wife 4 kids and ur bed from home ...😂😂😂 I tottaly get the idea of making it a family affaire and encouraging kids to get into history ...and i am all for that .. but historical speaking . U wouldn't drag children or ur wife out into the dangerous world our ancestors faced ..js

was the pattern simple?

Totally ignorant here so my question is pure curiosity. Can you burn the hair off? Im wanting to tan hides this season.

I can fake a deer track reliably with my index and middle finger.

Looking very snazzy this episode. I don't have a lot of money, but I am starting to look at what I want for my costume. It will take a while.
