Thank you so much for sharing this, I find it hard to find stuff like this on Mark from what I know he seems to be a humble man giving his place in the reenactment community. Thanks friend

+Kenitzer Don Sure thing Mark is a very nice guy always willing to talk to you. Thanks for stopping in. Stop in again!

It's impossible for me to overstate my respect for and appreciation of Dr. Mark Baker. After following his column in Muzzleloader magazine for years, watching all of the American pioneer videos and reading his books, he seems like an old friend.

[@Snowalker13]

+Don Tripp He is a cool person to speak with for sure!

Thank You so much. I really enjoy this series about Prickett’s Fort. I would have loved to be there when he was empting out all the bags and rolls. There is just something humbling about looking at all of those things.

[@Snowalker13]

For me it was more a comparison of my gear to his what was the same what was different, it was a learning experience for sure along with several other conversations and jokes. Glad you liked it. Stay tuned for more stuff.

My family landed here in 1735 in Northern Virginia. This always sparks my interest to know how they lived. I've got a bit of history on my great grand fathers from my aunt who's into genealogy. This series makes me want to wade deeper. Any suggestions on available books for this era? Thanks for the history lesson, Brian!

[@Snowalker13]

Prickett Fort was named after my 6th Great Grandfather Jacob Prickett, David Morgan , the famous Indian Fighter of that area was also my 6th Great Grandfather, love to see Prickett's Fort restore like it has, enjoyed the videos.

[@jamesnevels5815]

I was wondering if it would be ok to add you to my yahoo messenger list, so that we can talk in private sometimes?

[@Snowalker13]

James Nevels James follow the link for the fabebook page it's easier that way. That's why I created it to have easier conversations. Thanks

[@jamesnevels5815]

o ok thanks

[@johnlord8337]

I find it interesting that the inventory here mentions a half round file, ... when I have mentioned a wood or metal rasp (rat tail) file, that could be used for metal filing, axe and hatchet sharpening, but also wood raspoing, and any forms of tinder making. And it is possible that this file could also be used for natural cordage processing.

[@kellyinterrante7745]

Keep at it Mark. I like the idea of filling in the blanks. I am your age too

[@Snowalker13]

Eat Carbs Thanks Mark!

[@MrDrissel56]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity, did anyone ask about a reprint of his book? Sons of a Trackless Forest.

[@Snowalker13]

Yes I did and he's working on it...

[@kan-zee]

wonderful video..thanks for uploading it...cheers ;-)) This speaker is correct, that there is not many documents back in the younge days. Much of the traditions were Oral Practices, back in the day...writing, document making was an education practice, which many woodsman didn't have..they were 'doers, men of action", imitators of what aided them in relevant daily survival. 5:30 There are different kinds of students...short term vs long term memory all in the body memory students. 8:24 I like this part = How he talks about how we are in debate of static history VS living history. What Does Static History mean : We are programmed to learn History using books, documents, journals, diaries, lists, letters, etc ?? Does Living History mean: We are in the daily process of development, hands on, walk the talk ? Plz help me understand this..thank you ;-)) What is that around his neck, it looks like a fire hearth board? lol

[@Snowalker13]

It's easy when you think about .Not all learning is equal. Covering the material does not mean understanding, finishing a textbook does not indicate mastery. No real learning takes place until it moves from surface knowledge to dynamic knowledge, to not only "know about" the information, but to be able to apply the skill or concept to real life accomplishment. He has a bullet board around his neck it holds patched balls ready to be loaded a 18th century speed loader. Glad you liked it more coming

[@kan-zee]
