I have a interest in filming, mostly the outdoors & hunts of family, friends, & myself. I also enjoy early American history, which led me into reenacting, trekking, and period style hunting, so I decided to create this channel specifically for such activities. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video and information. I always take to much with me but learning to cut down. Sometimes I have the grandson with me so I have to watch what I take and let him pack the load. Thank again.
Good video Josh! I've got a belt bag much like yours in size that I carry my fire makin's and have for years, it's heavily oiled and greased to keep contents drier. Can't trek anymore due to health issues but I like to go to camp to defend camp lol and still be a part of the rendezvous.
Finally getting around to watching this one. Wish I had seen it earlier but I was very busy six months back. I enjoyed your scout and the way you filmed it. I love it when you include the interesting things you notice in nature and pass them along to us. Covering up the broken branch the way you did was excellent to hide the freshness. Among the many things I have learned over my many years in the woods, is that I shouldn't hyper focus on one thing. We tend to watch the one moving deer, bird, squirrel, or a person intently and forget to look around to see what else is moving or has stopped to watch us. I saw two or three guys walking in the woods while I was hunting. I am still not sure what they are doing but they were laughing and conversing and I did not want to scare/surprise them and so did not speak out. I was less than 30 yards away, with an orange vest over top my 18th Century clothing and they walked by and never saw me. After they went by I headed in the direction they had come and away from them. Another time I was with the landowner's dog and was watching a tiny buck chase a doe right in front of me for several minutes. When Blackie barked the woods exploded in a fan of deer which I had not seen or heard in the brush, though in the case I was looking carefully because they were not just in one spot. The other thing I do when I hide behind a tree, I keep my rifle upright or straight down so that the barrel does not stick out and move around while I am observing things happening. After I stood up from sitting for a long period of time,I had a fox walk by at my feet. He did not know I was there and I could have kicked him into the creek. I love being in the woods with my flintlock. Currently catching up on my many to watch videos while designing, cutting out, and sewing a leather shot pouch for #2 Bismuth. Waterfowl season is just around the corner. Be safe! Thanks for filming and sharing these times.
Enjoyed your Platte River trip, by the way. Would love to do more of these kinds of activities. Need a dugout for a Susquehanna River or for the upper Potomac River trip to hunt and fish in the fall in Maryland. By the way, have you seen the video on Winter Trekking Gear by the Coalition of Historical Trekkers? This has some good and functional ideas. Don't think it right to put another link in a comment but that description will bring it up with a search.You have been out in the snow and cold so being warm is critical when camping and being prepared is essential. So glad I am not the only one who needs extra blankets.
Thanks, for me, I do research of the chosen period, then either buy patterns and make my own clothing, or have them made, or buy directly from a merchant, which are many, just do a google search. Thanks for watching.
That condensation you mentioned is a byproduct of the combustion process. One of the little-known byproducts of powder's ignition is actually water, due to the high hydrogen content in the charcoal used to make it.
Congratulations on your recipe joke. That was the dyest delivery of the dyest joke I've ever heard. Seriously. I'm now more parched than the Atacama. Impressive, sir.
I'm glad to be here, Josh. I'm a Native American from South Carolina most interested in 18th Century history and I'm considering making my own channel. No one else really focuses on the Colonial South, especially from the Native perspective. The thing is that perspective will not be popular because they are based on the Native American experience and not the flag waving storybook version of history. I also can be quite abrasive when I confront willful ignorance. If y'all think I should or shouldn't do it, please reply with what you think about the idea. I'm interested in what folks have to say.
@@PalmettoNDN good to hear from you, as far as a YT channel, go for it, my opinion/advice would be do a lot of research, and base your videos and opinions on documentation and not on narratives that are so slanted and based on emotions these days, remember that we are all human beings and as such, no matter the culture, have individuals that do things that are wrong and those that do right, many people are tired of others making everything about race instead of individuals, good luck to you, and you might check out Along The Wolf Trail channel, he is late 18th century, early 19th century colonial south.
