It seems that the 'false seam' would add some structural support to the panels.

Another great video!!! Perfect timing too, deer season is rapidly approaching the Sierras. It’s my seven year olds third year hunting with me but it’s his first blackpowder traditional hunt. Your approach is very similar to what I’m doing. His tumpline is made of hemp rope and a piece of old mainstream civil war reenactors belt. For his clothing I’m shopping at thrift stores, and doing alterations. His hunting shirt is being made of an old hospital blanket, lol. For a hat, his mom’s old kid’s cowboy hat with modifications! I’m debating on moccasins, he’s growing fast! I’m buying and making large so that hopefully get a couple of years worth of use. Wooden bowls, wooden spoons, tin cups, pretty much like yours. Homemade salt pork and homemade jerked meat, potatoes, onion, carrots. Now, on my packing list for a militia scout patrol, I have pecans and walnuts with a side note “common in 1700’s”… lol I don’t recall where I found that!🤣🤣🤣 I’m not sure who’s more excited!

Fine information and reproduction equipment!

You managed the heat from the wood fire very well! I suppose you salted the meat?

In a place of relative abundance, hunting could be seen as harvesting animals. Perhaps Sayers was not always the worse for drink during his life. Twenty-two deer are not a lot to take over a period of years. Of course, one adult beeve could be salted and provide for a family for a year.

We had a yaupon holly understory in our woodland. I wish I had known about its use in early American teas.

Great information. Another food to take along is pop corn and pop it in the kettle.

Not being nit-picky, just trying to help. I've never seen the folding candel lantern before the civil war ..no drawing artifact finds nothing before the 1860.but i get the comfort factor for the kids was js ... I like ur channel keep up the good work .

Rather than make a dedicated tumpline for the kids, you could thread a piece of thick leather over the hemp rope to act as padding over the shoulder.

My parents were never interest is Historical trekking or Reenacting. As a kid I would do my own trekking/camping in the back woods of my house in my Farby historical clothes.

"Moccasins are a civilized way of going barefoot."- sage advice from one of my reenacting friends when I was new to the hobby.

Am amazing video as always, where do you get your blankets from they look very high quality

Well done. The smiles on the faces of those two tell me Dad did it right!

As a living history performer for the National Park Service.. I was a crew member on a 12-pounder Napoleon Field Gun... The Napoleon used a 2.5-pound charge of black powder, had a range of 1,700 yards and 1,440 feet per second, and weighed over 1,220 pounds... Yes.. it could cast a 12 pound solid shot up to about 1,700 yards..! I have been within a few feet of one of these cannons when it was fired... It shook the ground we were standing on... With an actual projectile (which I have shot) it can send that 1,200 pound plus gun rolling backward several feet... I have done that (blank and real) no less than a hundred times... The bronze barrel of a Napoleon is several inches thick... Bronze is very well suited for such a task... Cow horn is not... 1.5 pounds of black powder exploding in a period container would rip a man in half... Anyone within several yards of him would be killed or severely injured... Especially someone so small that they are face level with the horn... I love authenticity... At some point it must be compromised for health and life... I felt compelled to write this...

They will remember this for the rest of their lives. Very good

Your trip reminds me when I went on a backpacking trip for 7 days with my children. They were the same age as your boys. My son and daughter both carried the own packs with their clothes. The trip was about 40 miles in the high Sierras. That was back in 1970. Enjoy your videos. I too enjoy flintlocks. I just finished my TVM Early Virginian in .54 caliber left handed.

As I’ve said before, you’re a fine dad indeed! A whole new ballgame when planning for the safety, comfort and enjoyment for wee ones … well done!

Fantastic video and opportunity for your kids. I bet that will stick with them forever. I'm looking forward to more.

New deerskin diary video heck yea!!!

As a Historian/Trekker we want to pass this great hobby/experience onto the next generation... but the "next generation" MUST not feel that they are being forced to participate and they enjoy being in the outdoors with their companions. Good Job and thanks for sharing your lists, thoughts, and adventure with us all! Well Done!

Great video! As I said before, really enjoyed watching the boys and all interaction with the adults. Great trip. Look forward to another one with them.

Another great video. Your boys did excellent on this trip and added a bit of "comic relief" (that's meant in a positive way) for us "older children" (let's face it, you were the only real "adult" on the trip). I know Sam was glad to have them along as well. We look forward to more trips like this with you and your boys.

Good evening from Syracuse NY brother

Hey, I'm here from the Nutmeg Tavern and I appreciate your knowledge about frontier living especially as I prepare for my first reenactment opportunity!

Came over from the nutmeg...

Watching this after Townsend's livestream where you were the guest.

This video is the truth! The difference between merely a sun tan and a very productive day is paying attention. Noticing details then learning which ones mattered today and why. That way the next time it is different you learn why. And soon you’re able to “see” three steps ahead and understand your best, next move.

Living in Texas, and knowing what flint looks like, I made my own from rocks I find. Use a wet saw , cut them to the right size and knap the striking end. Look for bull gravel, it had flint in it. I get about 50 shots before I, either change it,or resharpen it.

Thank you. Now I need to go take a look.

This is a fantastic video I’m hitting the subscribe button!

As usual an outstanding top notch video!

Kentucky horn stone makes good ones

Great video approximately what did the materials cost you to make the tent and man hours to sew it up

A leather version of a haversack made from soft buckskin or heavier. Piece of cake.

I enjoyed that video. Well explained. Love the get a flintlock. Not much comes my way.

Heineken glass never works. Should have used Corona.... .

Awesome educational material. It's very commendable that you make and fabricate the things you demonstrate in your videos the way they were constructed, and/or fabricated, during the time period from which they were used. Two thumbs up!

I guarantee you that CCPD would hire you in a heartbeat to teach recruit firearms training after seeing this awesome demonstration, your shooting ability, and your ACCURACY here, with a dang muzzle loader; especially with the smaller ball ammo and no patches!! Great vid brother! (P.S.- If Delk reads this....... please excuse my grammatical errors.... LOL.). Take care.

I thought it was interesting that Arlfred Miller's paintings from the 1830s show simple bags, often with fringe and narrow straps. Some might have been decorated with quills. It didn't seem like trappers wanted to fancy of gear. Could be they had to replace it often and it was disposable or they didn't want to call attention to thieves much the way we think today.

I love your videos please keep it up

Another great video!! Yes, shotpouches….especially when you make your own!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I like what you carry, light, simple.

I's this the same Danie a colonel in the rev war whose son was a victim of the harpe brothers ? .

Great video! Do you need a lead ladle to run round ball?

Excellent as always.

Great video. Love the powder horn!

You mean to tell me that short starters weren't a thing?

Thank you for another great video. Is there any historic references to belt shot pouches?

I have enjoyed every one of your videos. You have taught me a lot. I started watching you because you seemed familiar and I realized I have talked to you at Martin's Station.

Is it the one ring? Is that what it keeps in its pocket pouch?

always enjoy your content.
