Interested to see where you go with that knife handle on the patch knife. God bless you buddy.

Found your channel this morning thanks to spirit of the outdoors, and subscribed, I've went through your play list from the beginning and have watched 28 videos so far, you have a great channel, thanks for sharing.

Hope you can continue with your channel. You bring up interesting content to all, new and old.

You have an interest in the history of these mountain rifles and have mentioned books on the subject, what book would you suggest I would like to read more about the styles of mountain rifles. I have two original rifles from the Ozark region which seem to be influenced by Mountain rifles and Hawken rifles. Both have blacksmith made barrels. I suspect the maker used what he had on hand, not caring about a "school."

What grade of Maple is this? Looks very nice by the way.

BEST SIDE BY SIDE EVER

Great looking knives hope you get feeling better!

dualist is one of my favorite channels. he does mostly black powder and to me he is a standup guy.

Sweet knives

Those are some beautiful knives

Makes me wonder why they would do this. Are they (who ever they are)worried that they have no control. What about the 2nd amendment. Watch out Jimmy. They'll be after the knives next. By the way, nice builds. Good job. Take care

Hay uncle Sasquatch. The slim patch knife is nice . It's definitely a trying time with all the evil working against our freedoms. Hope pray 🙏 you feel better and you get some 🌧️. Hay join us this evening on mikes channel ✝️👍🇺🇸🙏✝️

I do watch him as well. Soon, they will stop any 2A subjects.

Thanks Jimmy for the shout out

Howdy Unc. That news about Dualist's channel is just outrageous! It's bad enough with Hickok, since he shows all kinds of "scary" things on his channel, but these geniuses are cracking down on items that even somebody with a felon-iee can purchase through the US mail! There needs to be some Oversight on these draconian rules that change at the whim of whomever is sittin in the cat bird's seat at that particular time.... but if you're a dude who wants to teach "miners" (coal miners, YT) how TRANSMISSIONS can change your gears, then you are pushed to the forefront of the recommended list..... On the brighter side, that maple looks so good! Take it real easy, Unc

It’s disagreeably hot and dry here too. You made up some nice looking knives. Fall is coming soon.

Always good to learn about history!!! Thank you Sir!!

Hey from Plum Valley. I have one like it, .32 Flint. Is using a .32 with extra powder and balls where we get the phrase "Loaded for Bear"?

Good one.

Cappers wont fit inside the cap space on the cylinder with the pietta.

Bought one at a pawn shop in maryville for 90.00 in 44cal

great gun jimmy thanks a lot buddy

Thanks Jimmy that is very nice gun

Traditional or not it's a great looking rifle in a very practical caliber.

Never to early to start preparing. Thanks for posting Sir.

Always good to see you and Jake. You said something that brought up memories of an old saying. I haven't heard in a while, Lock Stock and Barrel. Just a plane rifle, a tool in the box. It's been very dry here in Northern Kentucky. I haven't shot for a few weeks with the risks of fire. That's being responsible.

The "Hog Rifle" was the basic farmers or settlers gun. He used it to do all of the chores a rifle might be called on to do around the farm. From slaughtering hogs to keeping varmits out of the henhouse to bagging small game. By the time the country was mostly settled the really big game like bison, elk and bear were long gone. Calibers shrank from 69 smoothbore or 54 rifles to mostly 45 caliber and under rifles. The

I have a 54 cal built by H.D. Dwight in Belchertown Mass 1847 sweet gun so they must of had a few larger cal

A worksman’s rifle suits me fine. Them southroner’s pieces sure have a charm. God bless.

We had 34 and 36 cal here in West Virginia

Common men using the resources that they had on hand to build the tools necessary to put food on the table for their family. Trading and bartering was a way of common way of doing business. Today, so many of these firearms are considered relics of the past. A way of life that was hard at times, but so rich in ways that we really can’t understand today. Thanks to Uncle Sasquatch for keeping this history alive through his video content. God bless you and yours. - Tennessee Smoky

Like you, the plain guns,are more my style, they are tools, not decorations

Lot more small game eaten than large game in those days too

Yes sir nothing fancy for the most part . Had to be affordable ,accurate and durable and dependable

I recently purchased a Hatfield 50 caliber long rifle made like the rifle you show in the video. It is in beautiful condition and has an excellent bore. Are you familiar with the Hatfield?

The early American BP muskets and rifles had various bores anything from .32 to the larger bores in.01 increments. That early Colonial period I find fascinating as well Uncle. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you sir.

Man, i love the simple Southern mountain rifle. I have seen a southern rifle all iron mounted 54 cal in a video at the museum of the fur trade.... i think that would be the bees' knees

I joked one on a side of a mountain I know why they had a curved but to dig in to climb up the mountain side

I have seen several biack bears carrying .50 cal. rifles .

I'll be watching! It's not just what you have mentioned. My channel has drastically dropped on views and subscribers. I am not sure what is going on and what we need to do to fix it. Take care, Uncle! Keep up the good work and the good fight.
