Mark Baker put his whole life into educating people about life on the frontier in the mid to late 1700's. I was lucky enough to see him a few times at Pricketts Fort, School of the Longhunter over the years when i first became involved in re-enacting. What a wealth of accurate information he shared with myself and others who had a thirst for this hobby but didn't know where to begin. His friend Mike Alden and James Moore really did a great presentation on how you could start out and build your own persona from the basics. I bought all his videos, built and made all my own accoutrements, lived it, loved it, thanks to Mark Baker and a bunch of other AWESOME people I met along the way. Now at 57 years old, THE REST IS HISTORY.
Thanks for putting these Mark Baker clips up! I have several APV DVDs, but none of the Longhunter series. I intend to correct that in the future. Thanks again. TC
You can use walnut hulls to make a dye to dye your shirt. Walnut dying is covered in Volume 1 of the Longhunter series and is available for purchase from our website www.muzzleloadermagazine.com
The exigency is very strong with this one

Mark Baker was my high school English teacher and the best teacher I’ve ever had!
Excellent video! Thanks!
This guy is the best. His research and writings are unequaled to this day.

You will be glad you did!
I don’t know when this DVD was made but it’s more informative than anything I’ve seen on RUclips regarding long hunter clothing. Thanks for uploading!
The first series was produced in the 1990's, still available today.
Great information !
Thank you for sharing these
Thank you !
In my reading about the over mountain men they mentioned lots of rain and oil cloth. I am starting to believe that the hunting froc was waxed or oiled
letting Mark talk without the overly loud background music would greatly improve this video
While we don't disagree with you, it is worth keeping in mind that this video was filmed and edited about 30 years ago.
Did they wear buck skins over the clothes
I wish the music was a little louder :-(
Where can i get that color shirt hes wearing?

I wonder why Native Americans took offense to the hunter's smock?
Curious.
Inquiring minds demand to know... ☆
In the western frontier of Ohio and Kentucky, there were areas off limit to White hunters by tribes protecting a hunting ground… mostly Kentucky
@@bobbysnow5478 Yeah, I figured that. I thought maybe there was something more or deeper to it? 🤷♂️
Good job where can I get me a rifleman’s shirt?
There are several merchants and traders that offer hunting shirts, but we can't recommend one over another.
"...9 men and 7 dogs..."
Good for security, Especially at night !
I won't camp w/o a dog. . . ☆
If you're going to use music in the background please turn it down! I find it very hard to follow or understand you with the distraction of the music.

What? I didn’t know Trudeau did reenacting when he was young… 😮
I have a 47, that I built from a title and a frame..pre internet…good luck with your project…don’t ever sell it!
