I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I did making it. This series has been on my mind for a long time and it took me a while to do the research and put together the gear. I have tried to make it as historically accurate as possible. For those of you who are more historically astute than I, please forgive the discrepancies. At any rate, thanks so much for watching! Please check out the links in the description box above and thank you in advance for all your kind comments!

For the most part it looked pretty accurate. From what I've read they typically only planned on walking no more than 10 miles a day. Probably because they had to carry heavier stuff. The only thing I question which is a common misconception. Is the use of char cloth. Material was pretty dear back then. From what I understand they typically used Char Punky wood or different types of lichen, or other materials. It's true that in big cities people who are well-off started using char cloth sometime during the 1800s. But I don't see normal people especially Travelers using it. I've made some Charwood and it's pretty darn easy to make and Light. You can even take a piece of charwood out of your old fire. Of course. Everything doesn't have to be historically correct as long as you're having a good time. But it looked pretty authentic to me.

@@captainfragger6295 I would have thought by 1885 char cloth would make some sense especially on the prairies and such. I don't know from a bushcraft standpoint as I am soooo very new to the ways. But from a historical clothing standpoint, cloth was much more readily available at that later time due to the more widespread industrialization of cloth manufacturing. (although ready-made clothes were still costly due to tailoring etc) And they would have been scraps, what was once a shirt, then used as a cleaning cloth or bandage or the like when said shirt was no longer repairable, until some point when it was just a few scraps which could be made over to char cloth. Even Vicose/Rayon had been invented by then. But this is just my 2 cents. Not arguing just speculating and indulging.

Also by then, a lot of folks just used matches which had been produced for over 50 years by this point, instead of flint and steel although I'm sure it was still being used.

Enjoy your videos. About 55 years ago when I was 10, I got the urge to go "camping". Living in a small rural town we didn't have access to proper equipment, but I found an old book by Col. Townsend Whelen and Bradford Angier. Their stories of "forage camping" with a boy's axe, jacknife, blanket, "tarpaulin" and a box of matches captivated my young mind. That book changed my life and my outlook on camping. Your videos remind me in many ways of that old book and I cannot pay a higher compliment to any man.

You can see the callous of a man who never backed away from something dirty, or stuck. Something broken or bogged down. No sir. Reminds me of my Grandfather.

@@WayPointSurvival absolutely love the content too. Really cool to see someone do it. That's camping out. Just you and the breeze. My dad was like that, Marine, so there was no amenity camping. Usually it was just us, a tarp, a few basics, a fishing pole, sleeping roll, and that's about it. But I loved it. Best times of my life. You don't need all that crap, big tents and the like. I mean that's fine if that's your prerogative, but your missing out on what nature has to offer and what you can offer yourself. They'll spend thousands of dollars on crap you could of spent a few hours crafting or that's just plain unnecessary. I'm just glad to see someone still teaching the old ways.

I know it was a hard life, but I bet anxiety, depression, and stress levels were nonexistent. I know a day or two under the canopy of mother earth's bosom I can feel the worries just drift away. Four simple concerns, food, water, shelter, and fire. OK maybe, ailments and raiders(critter or otherwise). There has been so much lost knowledge that wasn't recorded. I deal with it daily when it comes to medicinal herbs and their uses. Also, with foraging wild edible plants and fungi. Even trapping is about one to two generations from being gone. Nice vid, I do the harmonica thing as well. I prefer my tin whistle though.

I am truly amazed at how the older generations spent the night on the ground with only a gum blanket and a wool blanket. Even in July in PA I froze my buns off at night during the 125th Anniversary Reenactment at Gettysburg. Unexpected rain and snow showers not to mention wind, made the life in a dog tent almost unbearable for only a weekend, imagine how our ancestors did it. Unless there were follow on wagons with support supplies, I don't know how the light infantryman did it. Attempting to authentically replicate much of the historical stuff, you find out that the natural fibers don't insulate as well as the modern clothing we have now. I really took note of this in WA when we did a WWII battle in 3 feet of snow. It makes one consider spending the night in the truck....

AND thankful for modern kit, that I don't have to carry all that. But, simpler times... good for the soul. Good for the soul! Wish you'd ALSO, not only, make a book with lots of photos and line drawings, so I could read and wander mentally in the old man chair... Though the buck saw scares me: cut the back of my hand with a bow saw once and had to get glued together, since they couldn't sew it... after a several hour midnight drive! [I was stupid]

Yes, many of our ancestors would be very grateful to have the convenience and tools that we take for granted these days. As far as a book, I simply don't have the time to put one together but that would be really cool!

ROFLOL ... When you cut down the sapling and it shook the tree, that's the exact point that it cut to an ad that starts off with 'static' ... It took me a moment to realize that you hadn't taken out your camera. Talk about perfect timing ... Glad you didn't destroy your camera!!

A ridge pole! This is the first RU-vid video of a 1&2 man shelter that include a ridge pole. You will see all sorts of silly tents that stick a trekking pole upright in the center of the tent ruining the best space in the tent, but none that seek the value of a rigid horizontal support for really opening of the main usable space

Camping my favorite lifestyle you can't beat it always keep a handy fire starter but when it's wet and rainy and everything dampt up oh sometimes carry a cheating method the quick and easy for a fire and that is your common everyday alcohol products. Sometimes use body spray for fire
