I really enjoyed your video I'm a mountain man at heart myself and it's great to see people still interested in the old American way of life thank you

[@charlie1571]

I wished we had events like this in Louisiana. It's hard to get any muzzleloading supplies without going online. Ya'll are very fortunate.

[@steveg8322]

Tonic for the soul.

[@jmuraidajr]

I hear you say you pick up a number of things from Flintlocks LLC in your videos. I used to go down to my friend Jerry Eder's down in Nineveh every week and work on guns with him and other guys back in the 70s. He helped me build a 58 cal. southern mountain rifle along with help from Merrill Deer. Merrill Deer had an original one that we used to make mine. Merrill Deer was one of the past presidents of the NMLA. I have long since moved from Indiana to Arizona. I used to see Jerry when the NMLA had the winter shoot in Arizona. I was sad to hear he passed away he was a great guy! He was a Pharmacist like my Dad and they both went to Purdue! I miss those days so very much making guns with him down at his place and the shoots he would have down there! Keep up the great videos!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

That's incredible! You are spot on. The business is now run by Mike, Jerry's son. I am old enough to remember Jerry and I'm thankful everyday for it. He was an incredble icon for the sport. Thanks for the kind words! Hope you continue to enjoy muzzleloading out there in Arizona!

[@kesleycottrell1416]

I do love shows like this. Muzzleloader's are huge here in PA. Flintlock Muzzleloader's are very huge because of our flintlock only deer season. It's getting more popular because we don't have to deal with city slickers in the woods.

[@ol1guy994]

Ed Mosher is an incredibly kind and talented Flintknapper. He used to have a knapp in every year. His knapp in was the first one I attended.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@StevenMMan]

Well the other brother Ethan I always appreciate your content. I have commented a few times in the past, mostly with a simple thought of a reminder that kit is a blank waiting for your personality, and touch. Been a subscriber for sometime. In a bit of side the bang bang gave a brief introduction on ye old mountain man. It a build that's in my head that is titled WHAT WOULD ASHLEY DO. I'm trying to put together my own take of my experiences within with a no nonsense approach of content with a no apology attitude. My next video in plan is a detailed visual/ verbal explanation of the WWAD build dancing around in an old half blind mountain man's head. Mountain man

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Mountain Man, it was great to catch up last weekend. I'm super looking forward to your WWAD build!

[@MegaTroutbum]

Thx for sharing Ethan your an asset to the sport! I truly enjoy your videos!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

I appreciate that! Thanks MegaTroutbum!!

[@h-minus2212]

That is a beautiful camera - you made out like a bandit at the show. Thank you for putting this video together.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thanks for watching.

[@davefellhoelter1343]

WHAT Art! What a Bunch of ARTISTS! What Great Tools! I'm IN! sorry it will be Next Year? or Next show Location?

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Yes Dave, the show should be back next year. The location will be the same for this show next year. The next show close to Indiana I think is the Kalamazoo Living History Show March 18-19 in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

[@terryqueen3233]

I was absolutely drooling at some of the stuff on those displays. There are some beautiful rifles, knives, powder horns, accoutrement bags, I just can't name them all. Just drooling. Y'all keep ye powder dry!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thanks Terry!

[@richardmeyers8781]

Ethan enjoyed meeting you at this show. Thanks for taking the time to talk with me. You had mentioned that Mark and you may had talked about maybe organize a shoot at Friendship sometime. I hope I didn't miss understand that conversation if I did my apology. But if I didn't I would like to come to it if open to members. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thanks Richard, it was great to talk with you as well. I hope to coordinate with Mark in the future. Right now, my day job keeps me too busy to do something right. I will be sure to keep you posted.

On another note, do you happen to know where I can get blue prints for a Vincent rifle? I have all the brass furniture for one, just need the lock type and blueprint for the stock

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Have you tried Dixie Gun Works or the Log Cabin shop?

[@Texican-1836]

This is a little off-topic, but I can't find flints for my 66 Charleville anywhere. I'm in Texas. Any suggestions?

Have you checked online, track of the wolf, dixie gun works, Log cabin shop?

[@lundysden6781]

Hi, I just recently built my first flintlock and have been buying handmade items to go along. I'm disabled but can get travel short distances. I'm wondering if you know of any long gun or living history events with vendors in NYS , VT, or Eastern Penn this year? I'm from upstate NY. Thanks for any help.

[@indysandmanas]

Plenty in Pennsylvania Quick on search, Black powder historical gun show, or something close. They are all their, season just getting started.
