[@chrisnewport7826]

We need these to keep it all alive. Have to know where you were before you know where you are going. Our past is being deliberately destroyed, it must not be allowed..

Mike does the blackpowder community a great service. Can’t wait to join some of these great events.

[@richstone2627]

Awesome ! I have to find a way to make it to this event before I die. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelpriest6242]

Thank you for the view of Prickett"s Fort and sharing your experiences at the Longhunter's School. You enticed me to attend.

[@jj-ve9wy]

Thanks for sharing Mike. It looks like a place where you can learn something as well as have a great time . The F&I war time period has always been my subject of study.

[@Rumblestrip]

Thank you for sharing Mike. Makes me wish I wasn't stuck in this semi for months on end. Minus the alcohol, we're carrying a lot of the same things. Mines just more modern and electrical. I do keep a couple candle lanterns in my cab though. The LEDs screw with my sleep occasionally. I find I can get to sleep easier with more natural forms of light. Florescent lights give me a headache... incandescent lights weren't bad, but now they're impossible to get a hold of. Just sucks. I could really get comfortable in an older style of living. I'm almost there as it is. Lol

What a pleasant surprise to see you at Prickett's Fort. I grew up and lived near there until the late 60s. I participated in muzzle loading shoots in the area until I moved away.Always enjoy your videos.

[@steveroush4147]

Mike, I want to thank you, I remember going to Prickets with my family back in the early 80’s and it is very satisfying to see that it still exists. If you get the chance go to Point Pleasant Wv and check out the park and fort that is there. I can’t remember the name of the fort but the park is called Tuwenduee... I know I didn’t spell it right.

[@drmachinewerke1]

I enjoy your videos.well done. Looking forward to next years update .

[@donaldcooper5891]

Awesome introduction! Now I have another fort event to attend. I have to borrow the dual event for the next Fort Lancaster rendezvous at the end of May here in Colorado. Thanks

[@TwentythreePER]

This looks like incredible fun. I love how that medal looks too. I'm curious, what book did you have on your table at 4:16?

[@duelist1954]

"Images of America - Prickett's Fort" by Greg Bray. I was doing research

[@thetraveler5798]

[@danielkaczynski9702]

[@duelist1954]

Daniel Kaczynski Yup

[@1murder99]

How much does all that camp gear weigh and how do you get it in your rucksack?

[@rickhahn8812]

Hey Mike. Is it just me. But when you started talking about tavern night. Your speech was starting to slur a bit. Must've been a good nite. Lol

[@wnchillbilly1]

looks like a good time : - )

[@steveroush4147]

Mike do you know anyone who makes wooden mugs period style that is ?

[@elky5987]

Jas. Townsends & sons. They specialize in 18th century gear. They also have an excellent KZbin channel

[@longstrider1490]

Mike, as always you put out a great video! I hope to meet you at this year's Builders Fair at the end of July. I do have a question: I am one of your patrons. It looks like I can only give you $1 per month. Am I missing something? I'd like to donate more.

[@duelist1954]

You should be able to do whatever amount you want to. See you at Dixon's!

[@stephen8433]

Interesting.

[@bgbeck55]

Did you win anything at the raffle?
