More than likely a smooth bore muskett and some sort of knife/hatchett

6'4"-6'5"This answer is wrong.The song says "Daniel Boone was a man, yes a big man." And yes, for his day, he was a big man, towering over most of his contemporaries at 5'10″ in an age when a man averaged 5'5″ to 5'7″. But he was far from the tallest of the Colonials-George Washington and Gouverneur Morris both hit 6'4″-and he certainly fell far short of the height of the actor who brought him to life for children in the 1960s and '70s, Fess Parker, who was (and presumably still is) 6'6″ even without the coonskin cap.
The first recording of the song was made by Fess Parker, quickly followed by versions by Bill Hayes and Tennessee Ernie Ford.
