Didnt the iriquoi style wooden armor have a "skirt" as apposed to leggings or pants? Could that be a simple explanation of the "one legged" cryptids described in the vinland saga? Could the european surcoats and maille shirts be the simple explanation of the iraquoi oral history of one legged beings?
You are to be commended for your fine work and restoring this beautiful home with integrity. Your passion for history and the art in your craftsmanship is incredible. Thank you for sharing this with us. It's a rare thing to be invited into historical houses.
The original section of Bethel CT home was built in 1766. It was great to see your renovation. It was also interesting to see so many elements of your home in mine like doors, beams and floors. It great to see history of your home honored in your beautiful renovation.
I have that same exact motor - does that red jet drive have a brand or model number on it ? I need to buy one and convert mine thanks ! Awesome video man !!!
I have a similar inflatable boat that is even smaller and can go down to inches of water. A Sea Eagle Paddleski. Sea Eagle is America's most popular inflatable kayak brand (their out of Long Island NY). I have their current model, Paddleski 437ps & the previous model the 435ps which I've had over a decade and used hundreds of times. Both versions fit int he trunk of a car. The tubes are smaller than Kaboat and you can very easily cart these on portages or even carry them with your hands a very short distance alone. The 437ps has larger tubes than the 435ps and can take up to a 6HP motor. The 435ps can take up to a 3HP motor, but also offers paddling performance comparable to the average inflatable kayak which I really like because I enjoy kayaking. Best of both worlds. The 437ps can be kayaked also, but only in calm conditions and it's more work. I'm pretty sure Kaboat would not be fun to kayak at all with tubes that large. But as your using a much more powerful motor, these boats won't handle that kind of speed, but are far more portable and no doubt easier to setup. So portable I've taken mine to more than 150 locations. I compared to Kaboat and met one person that has both. The Paddleski is similar, offers superior paddling and much more portable. But if you need a larger motor than 6HP, Kaboat offers that.
they kicked Ethan Allen out of Ville Road because it run his mouth in the bars. There’s only there five years they went back up to Vermont with the green mountain boys was politician. I know where his houses and there is a bar across the street where the Native Americans kept a white woman, but my buddy just rebuilt that farm into a house, you are shade is not real bad. Mines that is just a pile of crap that people digging again again and you finally know the truth.
Mike wonder have you visited Bats Den and especially Crowling Bear Cave in Egermont Massachusetts? Hate to say it I’m 65 and back when in 1977 78 time frame I was exploring caves in western Mass as part of the STCC Outdoors Club. I lead a few trips to it and truly wish I took pictures down the tube into the camber with the falls. Doing research I have found no internet information on the cave. Love your videos. Kevin
If you still have that jetdrive can you send me pics of how the shifter linkage is installed?

Uplifting and inspiring. Thinking man's restoration. Really great job on barn! As a kindred spirit, I've worked hard to embrace our old home's character.
I stumbled across this video while researching abandonded mine sites in Nevada (where I live now). I was born and raised in Simsbury and had no idea there was an abandonded copper mine in Simsbury. Thank you for sharing!
Didn't get a good look at the finished kitchen. Love what you did saving this home and property. Connecticut needs to get their act together and start saving what little is left of its past.
I'm going to do the four mineshafts on the SRT just outside of Otisville with a few friends in a couple weeks. The ones right before where your drone shot the high rock wall near what I think must have been a stamping mill and/or a staging areo for loading ore onto train cars. I've explored Shawangung Mine / Mamakating Mine many times before. I only got as far as the ore chute and the old hoover vacuum and I was more than waste deep in water in 2014. they've since barred it off. You're very lucky to have been able to explore while they drained the water for "reasons".
I grew up in Otisville and have been to and in the mines. Most are caved in but one youcan go in. It goes back a few hundred feet Y's off then stops. There is one tunnel going left and stopping. A tunnel to the right is blocked but you can see down it. The mines are down the old train bed with No tracks. You can access them just outside Otisville on route 211 and Otisville rd. The shawangunk ridge trail is right there. They are about 2 miles down on the left. If you take Main street all the way up to a horseshoe turn that turns into schobl street that drive way on the turn used to run to the mines. That is where the mines are that caved in.
When I moved into our house the only rooms that were drywall were the kitchen and bathroom which were an add on. One of my sons and I took all the plaster down and drywalled the rooms after putting insulation in it.
A similar copper mine tunnel exists in Manchester dug the side of a steep hill. I walked to its blind end, maybe 200 feet into the hillside when I was 11 or 12 years old. It was about 6 feet in diameter and I wore my father's hip boots against the 18 inches or so of water. The hillside has since slipped and covered the mouth of the tunnel. At the top of the hill is a deep conical depression which I think was an attempt to create a vertical shaft down to the tunnel. Although it's been decades, using the depression atop the hill, I'm pretty sure I can find the location of the tunnel mouth. Immediately below it is a stream where you can still find rocks with the green tinge of what I guess is the malachite ore. But the ore wasn't pure enough or in sufficient quantity and the mine was abandoned. The Manchester Historical Society has additional information, including some old photographs.
There is so much we don't know Imagine if our indigenous shared their knowledge we just came and EXPLORED what was already well known to the natives we think the only history is written Trust that cave is over a billion years old created in the separation of north and south America My guess is human have been seeking refuge there for much longer
