- It's a perfect sunny spring day! Sit down with me and have a talk about some of the most commonly carried items on the frontier. We cover basics of firearms, knives, tomahawks, kettles, blankets, fire kits and cordage!
That was an excellent overview for equipping an 18th Century American Frontiersman! Thanks for sharing it with us! Well Done!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Love this !!
Thank you for watching!
I heard ot read onfe that tomohawk blades would be removed from the handle to be used as a hide scrape.
Great job detailing the kit used by frontiersmen. I worry about betting my life on a smoothbore. I have both a rifle and smoothbore on order, so I may soften on the idea of the smoothbore, based on its performance. Thank you for putting together such fine content.
I've found that my smoothbore is entirely adequate for man sized targets within 100 yards if I do my part.
@@FlintlockOperator Thank you. Your experience gives me some confidence. Great content on your channel.
Easy solution. Load buck and ball and shoot only when you can see the white of your foes eyes.
@@ryanyoder2694 Excellent advice.
I realize that the historical documentation for folks carrying an oil cloth are rare, however there are many any accounts of them stripping the bark off of trees to build a bark shanty. Using the natural resources to their advantage is not something we are always able to do today [ or would advocate doing , unless in a survival situation ] , so I think carrying an oil cloth is a reasonable acc0modation to today's reality.
Excellent!
Great video, well done. Thank you.
Thank you!
Actually the mountain men did carry oil cloth tarps for not only ground cover, but for their shelters and for protecting/covering their hide caches. Not all of them had pack animals either.
Great video, thanks for putting this out here
Thank you for watching!
If you don't shoot a flintlock do you even operate? Flintlocks are more tacti-cool than Matt Best! LOL Keep the videos coming.
They certainly force the user to practice the fundamentals of marksmanship!
If I may ask !! I’m looking for clothing for period correct events particularly long hunters garb !! It would be greatly appreciated!!
That is a large and debated topic and it's good to do your own research to determine what would be proper for your persona to wear. Most hunters would have just worn their normal clothing. Nathaniel Killbuck and his "buffalo trace" blog is a fantastic starting point for research and can point you in the right directions. As far as clothing goes i'd recommend Samson historical, South Union Mills, and Townsends as good resources to get you initially outfitted. Thank you!
Did you buy the oil cloth or did you make it and if you made it how did you make it??
I made it. it's a thick canvas drop cloth from Home Depot that is washed and dried to shrink the weave, and then treated with a paint made from powdered Iron Oxide, linseed oil, and mineral spirits.
Isnt the corn boiler a 19th c thing?
I believe your right. Should have used the term, "kettle".
"We're not doing this to survive." Speak for yourself pal.
Oh I definitely do this to "survive". aka: retain some mental sanity.
I have a nice nugget of Pyrite for firemaking and Im thinking all the time if I really need a firesteel for an authentic set of equipment.
Was Pyrite ever mentioned in the sources?
I haven't seen pyrite mentioned in the sources I've looked at but i see no reason why you shouldn't keep it in your kit! If it works it works.
