School of the Longhunter, time in the blacksmith shop

Added: 2026-05-13

[00:00:01]I shot this footage at 2026 School of the Long Hunter at Prickets Fort in West Virginia. You're going to see a lot of footage here of us u heat treating tomahawks and each person got to heat treat their own tomahawk and uh under my watchful eye. So, lots of neat, you know, we demystified the process. Watch as you see the ages uh and the the levels of or not the levels but the the different um depth of living history that some of these folks are in. Um there's people that have lots of kit.

[00:00:38]There's people that don't and it's a school. They're coming to learn. So, it's a great place to jump in. If you don't have anything you want to come learn, this is the place to do it.

[00:00:52]Peter Kelly of the Woodland Escape was gracious enough to film uh part of the process of heat treating a tomahawk and he sent that to me, allowed me to release that on that on my channel. If you want to see that, you can go back and look. But I filmed all of this and I thought it was just too neat, especially for those who were there to see all of the activity and things going on. So, um maybe more so for them, but uh maybe you can enjoy and see the hustle and bustle of an 18th century blacksmith shop at Prickets Fort. Enjoy.
