I'm 76, not going to make any events most likely, but I applaud what you are doing and enjoyed this video tremendously. I could almost smell the wood smoke. Beautiful countryside. Thanks.
I echo Deblee's thoughts here. Ethan, be happy that you are young and healthy enough to do this. I enjoyed this video experience.
Superb Ethan. I am older (71) and have not been to a gathering in a long time. This reminds me how dang good it feels to be part of something biger then all of us. Seeing families out there warms the heart. A tip of the tricorn hat sir. well done. well done.
Ah, but aren't we all a little weird? Historical re-enactment is a great way to learn history, campcraft, and have some real fun.
Your cinematography at the encampment was second to none. As to being weird, everyone is strange but me and thee!
Thank you so much!!
Great video Ethan! I love the early mornings, before it gets completely awake for the day, you can have a moment where you forget it s isn't 1760's or whenever you want it to be lol. Like the format of the video! Also a tip getting started, you don't need everything to enjoy the camp,get what your budget allows,1 or 2 pieces at rendezvous, so you have guidance.
I used to take my four kids on outings quite a bit, Friendship was the highlight of the year for them. They still talk about it. Oh and I did it as a single parent. It's doable.
It was great to finally meet you at Martin's. I always look forward to your videos. Well done and very informative.
Ethan, another great job. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I was nervous about how these family videos would be received but folks really seem to like em
I use to do CW reenacting. I miss it terribly. That looks like so much relaxing fun.
Ethan, thank you for your work. You do more for the sport hobby, whatever you call it. This is a way of life for some of us. And we do need to get the word out to the public. We welcome all and do share both history and the love country. Thank you for bringing the little one and your wife along. Keep up the good work 😊😊😊
I have no problem going out of camp dressed in period clothing, it is a chance to advertise what You are doing, most people who are right around the event do not know about it. It feels good to have people come up & introduce their family that they came with. Thank You Ethan for all You do. The student is becoming the teacher...
Wholeheartedly agree.
Welcome to the hobby. I've been reenacting a few periods for about 25 years now and I've recently gotten more serious about the 18th century and back country frontiersy things. Thanks for showing me how easy it is to put together a Kibler kit. I shot my first woods walk with it two weeks ago and I'm hooked.
I love to hear it!!
I've been waiting for this video since i saw your pictures earlier in yhe summer. I've gained a love for black powder over the past couple years, and ive always loved primitive camping and history. I can't imagine combining them would be anything but fun. I think I'd enjoy a trip like this, none of my girls would though unfortunately, i can't even get them to rough it in a cabin or car camping
Outstanding
Well done
Thanks for the share of information and experience
Thank you for this - loved it. I need to get my Kibler done and start getting more involved. Need to find a solution/source for "big guy" period correct clothing....
Don't know how I missed you. I was camped on "the Hill" just before the slope down to the settler/presenter area. You can see me in Anthony's (Deerskin Diaries) in the red hunting shirt. Hope to meet you at a future event. John Norkus
Like ships in the night! We'll have to connect next time John. Hopefully sooner.
@@ILoveMuzzleloading And who's the Badger in your video? Both my wife and I went to UW Madison (1983-1988).
This is so excellent. I live in central VA and it's still an 8 hr. drive. Got my gear together but not finding much besides Rev War events here. Wish there were some civilian events to attend.
This is a great one to get to. Well worth it
Great video!
I have got to get back into this. It’s been far too long and I’ve allowed to much to get in the way. Thanks for the video. +1 sub. Might see you in friendship Indiana
You really need an outside awning to keep your gear reasonably dry Ethan, thank you for your presentations I always look for them.
Yes! I have my diamond fly, need to test and see if it would work
Looks like a blast to me! Great video.
The answer is a resounding yes!
Ethan, this is such an awesome video. Your breakdown at the end was neat. Hopefully, for the 250th, I, my wife, then 2 years old daughter, will be able to go to Martins Station as well.fingers crossed! I feel you on the supermarket trip, kinda the same way 😅
I hope to see you there dude! Anytime I can help just let me know
A video on sourcing the clothing and camp gear would be nice.
I’m working on getting things lined up, trying to improve so I get the info right
My son and I get out on our property often and dress the part when we trek or camp out over the fire. Heck My stick made tripod still standing over my stone lined pit from 2 yrs. ago.
Man that’s great!!!
Ethan,
This was a nice video, however by the thumbnail I was hoping to see a video on what non reenactors thoughts on reenactors and reenactments are and whether they think they are weird. Maybe some interviews with visitors and interviews with reenactors on their experiences with the public on this topic and the comments they've heard. I think a lot of myths about this hobby could be dispelled with such a look. Thanks for the work.
Great thoughts Pierce, it’s definitely a topic myself and a few other video makers in this community have been talking about and will be covering more
Especially when city people ask if the ham is plastic and the fire is flaming in a 80 degree day
😭
I would one day like the read Mark Baker book sons of a trackless forest but of a used copy of it going for $600 plus dollars. I may never get the chance.
I heard they eliminated the battle and the burning of the cabin!
Where did you get that frock from looks awesome
Intrigued by your eyewear. Could you please tell us about it? I wear prescription glasses & I’ll to have to find a solution to be able to see while portraying a period correct character. Thanks!
You might try Historic Eyewear Company. I don’t think they sell prescription lenses, but they do have several choices of powers for reading glasses. If you check them out, please tell them that Peggy from Civil War News Magazine referred you.
I'm new here and I have to ask, are you related to the one gentleman on the Townsends channel?
I’m not, but I consider them friends!
What type of glasses are those? Cause I’m blind and can’t see without mine.
I always wear my outfit, F and I or Santa Fe Trail clothing to the store. I bet I’m on a people of Walmart video
Try some eighteenth century preserved food. You won’t have to have ice
I’m afraid it won’t be to many years left for our hobby, but I’ll be doing it till they toss me in a hole
Sorry dude but this was a little bit boring. Too much time in your car and not enough shooting. Martin's Station is an awesome place to visit , the trouble is that I've seen it in several videos. I'm sure your other viewers liked it though.
Check out my other Martins focused video. All shooting.
HEY!!! I'M THE 39th "LIKE"!!!
