- Peter begins working on canoe paddles on his shaving horse. He has brought out cedar logs in preparation for making ribs and sheeting for the birch bark canoe he is planning to build. He hangs a new lantern holder that he forged in the blacksmith shop. He discusses the history of stamped tin lanterns and white smithing/tin smithing.
Luke, the stone mason, finishes the inside of the rumford fireplace, laying the soldier bricks that will support the mantel. He introduces Fergie and gives a brief history of working dogs.
He then applies compost to the new plantings in the garden, weeds the potatoes and cuts the scapes on the garlic.

Thanks for our step back in time.
It is our pleasure Mark.
Peter, As I watch you portray this life in the 1700's one of the elements that really "sells" the experience is the traditional music. I did not realize what the importance of having music in the background could provide. You really have a great understanding of balance between story, content and imagery together with, the beautiful music that lends the sense of traditional values that really completes the picture. Thank you for your keen eye and ears in your production methods.
Thanks so much, Paul. The music is provided by two friends from Nova Scotia, Richard Fortier and Al MacDonald. Occasionally I get the privilege of jamming with them when we visit. Thanks for your interest.
@@TheWoodlandEscape I think many people, myself especially, would enjoy a you tube recording of you and your friends jamming together....just a thought!
The cabin was sooo clean... then came the cement for the fireplace work... uurrrggghhhhhhh !!!!
I see you had a little quill pig come visit you I see. My grandfather, who has since crossed the dark river, said the old time woodmen would never killed them cause if they were ever stranded and hungry they could find one for a meal and were to slow to run away. We call that maple "curly maple" but what was stellar was that cherry! Wow, that was nice.
Luke is awesome!
He is a talented young fellow!
You are a lucky man Peter too walk around your Beautiful Countryside l too like to walk around are countryside but we’re l Live we have no big water falls but l do have small woodlands at the bottom of my garden and Farmers Fields around me l love to watch the seasons go bye and see my garden grow l have had a good season with my pumpkins 🎃 I love pumpkin pies 🥧 great video thank you sir 👍
Glad you’re enjoying.
I have that variety of lantern (my family always called it a Revere lantern) which has been in the family since the 1700's. I've always had a place in my heart for the old patinated relic.
I liked this video as soon as I saw that beautiful waterfall. Everything after is a bonus.
thanks again Pete for bringing us along,take care will always enjoy your time
Was awesome to watch your friend do the brick laying. Good brick laying and masonry is almost a lost art nowadays.
Luke did an amazing job Charles, we are very pleased with how it turned out.
your cabin is very beautiful. you should post more videos. Love much.
OK thanks
Love that fire place. Have a great day
We are rather pleased with how it turned out as well Mark and you have yourself a great day as well.
First rate all around. Fireplace is really, nice!
I made one of those punched tin lanterns and always wondered about how little light it shone. This makes sense now.
Wow is that beautiful waterfall on your property. I do hope so
Afraid not John … don’t I wish. It is located on Manitoulin Island.
I'm so glad I found your channel! Your involvement represents where I am trying to be. You and I are nearly the same age and interests are synonymous . The soil in your gardens and raised beds appears to be premium. Please keep the educational and refreshing videos coming.They are salvation for the mind and soul in this runaway crazy world we live in today!
It has been a crazy time indeed John and we all need some distractions to keep ones sanity. I’m glad you’re enjoying.
Great video! I sincerely appreciate your effort and dedication.
I was mesmerized by that masonry work as I can't lay brick or stone to save my life.
Thank you ! Wisdom and knowledge! You have both !
I appreciate that, Terry, thanks for your interest.
Beautiful work wish I could live there
That opening scene looked like it could have been from Last of the Mohicans... beautiful waterfall. The way you described frontier life in the 1700's is still the way most of us live here in Alaska... winter is the "down time" (unless you trap fur) and summer is known as "construction season". Thanks for the great videos!
Your northern lifestyle sounds perfect. We have never been to Alaska, but we love the Yukon!
Peter, I so look forward to your videos. Another great video. Loved how your not in your hunting garb and now in your waist coat and tricorn hat….
I always learn something with your videos. Your mason friend is truly a master. It's been my experience after a lot of years that anyone that makes a job look easy is a master of their trade.
So true, a master tradesman makes it look like a child should be able to do it.
Great channel. Appreciate you sharing this. Subscribed.
Sincerely appreciated Jeff, glad you’re enjoying.
Really enjoying your videos!
I love the author Alan Eckhart and have read in his books somewhere where they used to use the hide from a cows knee to make a cover for their flintlock mechanism so it wouldn’t get wet in the rain, have you ever seen anything like that? The beginning of this video reminded me of it lol.
I have made numerous cow’s knees but not from cow’s knees. Here, all along, I simply thought it referred to the shape and not the actual knee of the cow.. I use brain tanned deer hide and wax it thoroughly . I’ve also read all of Eckhart’s books … great reads.
@@TheWoodlandEscape now maybe you’re right lol, maybe they weren’t actually made from cow knees, just what I was assuming as a young guy.
Huuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyiiii exelente video muy Ilustrativo
Thank you.
I watched again and counted 42
You may need a ceremony
They are all in the light
You are all very protected

Your channel is a new favorite of mine. Thank you for taking the time for, well, all of it! 🙏
Thanks Tiffany, I’m pleased you’re enjoying.
This is a awesome… you should have over a million viewers in no time!
Thanks for the compliment but, not so sure on that viewer number.
Well I am a fan regardless
Another great video and that waterfall was beautiful.
You remind me of what is possible when necessary. Inspiring me to do more. Blessings and Salutations. Huzzah!
Thanks Don.
The whole summers = time off thing actually comes directly from summers being time of hard manual labor. When it was decided that it was important to educate all children, they had to compromise with the farmers, who said that unless they had their children to help with the harvest, they might not be able to make it the whole year. So the officials in charge were like "well, alright, what if we educate the kids during the winter months when there's less work, and then you can have them in the summer time to help with the harvest?" and then we stuck to that schedule even after we moved away from being a primarily agricultural culture.
Anyway, with a waterfall like that around, I'm guessing you won't be needing to build yourself a shower. 😉
Thanks Karin and your comments make so much sense from an evaluation into public schooling the children.
Always intriguing, informative, resourceful, and entertaining Peter! Thank you and all that help producing videos like these. You have an interesting way of capturing your audience with your knowledge and your preciseness in this era of history! Thank you!
Excellent again thank you Peter, although being rather deaf I do miss subtitles sometimes, take care. John 🏴
They are supposed to be on it John, I’ll check into it.
Very nice cabin very nice Garden I have to make you around broom for your cabin I have to make it up they can use it and sweep your porch thank you for your very interesting Channel like watching it every night
Thanks Bobby, I was actually thinking of planting some broom straw this spring.
@@TheWoodlandEscape also I could give you some broom corn seeds I have a broom maker I think it's 1700 hand-drive broom maker
I thought it was all done by hand … shows what I know, lol.
@@TheWoodlandEscape hi yes I do make them by hand I have broom corn seed made for Ontario Canada I live in Ontario and the seeds is for the area I'll be gladly to give some to you to try out
We are in Ontario as well.
Красотища!А зачем такой длинющий ствол?
The cabin is coming along beautifully. Great job 👍
Thanks Eric, we are getting closer to completion.
Great video Peter. We just harvested our scapes, and I'll be adding them to an omelette or two soon . Hope to have a root cellar done by Fall. That fireplace looks like it will be a great comfort when the winter chill sets in.
Thanks guys, hope to see you in the near future. I’m sure that will be a fine omelette!
Another fine and informative video. Any concerns about drinking water from a surface water source? Giardia and other nasty critters are always a consideration where I live. But, excellent video and the fireplace is truly amazing.
I do not normally drink surface water but, this is remote in both a non agricultural and industrial area. Giardia is nasty , however , usually in non flowing water, such as beaver ponds.

I must say that I am officially addicted to this channel. I absolutely love it. I wish there were a few more like this. That fireplace is looking fantastic.
🏡😀
Sir, Huzzah on all your success and thank you for returning us to the days of yesteryear.
We recently discovered the Count Rumford Fireplace and it's brilliant design, however, masons are not easy to find therefore we are considering purchasing a prefabricated hearth.
The Renaissance Company offers a Rumford 1000 with 34"W x 37"H and a Rumford 1500 with 42 3/4"W x 42"H. What are the dimensions of your masonry built fireplace? Although, we still have not given up on finding a talented mason to build on site. Thank you again.
Very respectfully,
Marcel and Lisa
Arlington, Virginia
Hello Marcel and Lisa. Ours is 42 x 42. You might want to try Superior Clay. They carry a complete line of pre made Rumford throats and smoke chambers.
I'm surprised you didn't have a cow's knee over your lock when you were walking behind the waterfall. Keep your powder dry!
Another great episode, enjoy them all. How do you keep animals out of your garden, thanks for sharing.
Thank you. As to the animals, the way I see it, everything needs to eat so I simply plant extra.
after this is finished do you plan living here fulltime?
No but, we will be spending a lot of time in it and sharing it with fellow living historians.
U could run your auxiliary from the trickle at thee back.....
Thank you Peter, I thoroughly enjoy your programmes. Please tell me who plays the beautiful background music?........Ray in Dublin
Thanks Ray. Richard Fortier and Al MacDonald from the East Coast. I just returned from Nova Scotia and we all got together for a jam session.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Thank you again Peter, I will look them up. I’d love to play some of these tunes…….Ray in Dublin
They are kinda off the radar. Al likely has some released music but, both simply play for the love of it. They entertain at lots of pubs in Nova Scotia.
I just found your channel. I really like it. You have a beautiful spot. Where'd you get that fancy paddle wood?
😆 That stuff is highly sought after in a luthiers' world.
Anyone ever tell you you could have been David Carradine's stunt double?
I get the David Carradine thing a lot, lol. Found the wood in Northern Ontario from an old fellow that makes tool handles. Old but not stupid, he knew the value of the material. Having said that, I paid a fair price.
Peter just when you asked about the vertical bricks to Luc; the spirit light made themselves extremely known and flew right in front of the lens, perhaps do a search of this property is my suggestion, you have a soldier trying to be heard🧡🙏🙌
I'm sure they didn't have a mild steel lintel back in the day? everything seems very authentic except this( and the portland cement !)
👍🏴
@ 9:08 and out to the PRIVY!!!!!! LOL 🚽🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻👍
How did they cut grass in the 18th century? I always see lawns in paintings of the Era. How were they tended?
Most did not have lawn at all, in fact if it were not for the availability of free labour, no one would. The manicured lawns were kept hand clipped by slaves until the push mower was invented. Personally, I had lawns, lawn mowing, lawn watering, in fact, anything to do with them.
@@TheWoodlandEscape I hate grass as well. I'm actually allergic to the clippings and it activates my asthma. I live in NJ, and I'm looking to move far south. Hoping that southern grass varieties aren't as bad!
Just have to ask you what is the reaction of someone who stumbles upon you when hiking out in the bush? They must do a double take when they see you in those deerskins and carrying that musket.
You would not believe some of the crazy meetings I’ve had over the years. For the most part though, I trek in very remote areas and rarely cross anyone else’s path.
May I ask what you call the iron arm attached to the inside of the fireplace to hang pots, etc, from, and where might one be purchased, or would a blacksmith be needed?
Hi Cheryl, It is called a fireplace crane. I made the one in the video in my blacksmith shop. You would indeed need a black,smith but, they are pretty simple to make, so wouldn’t cost all that much.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Thank you so much!
fireplace is stunning, he has done a superb job
Hi! why no more videos? I love watching.
Hi Ursuline, we should have a new one out tomorrow. Glad your enjoying.
Where do you get your clothing? Does your "other half" make them for you? ⚒️⛏️🏔️👍
It was standard issue back then ...
Is the falls at the beginning not on Manitoulin Istand?
Yes, it is.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Are you located on the Island?
👍👍👍🇵🇭
You're past due for another installment.
I know, right! Hopefully this weekend .
@@TheWoodlandEscape Awesome. Can't wait!
Iam new to you. Do you ever hunt and kill game
We do hunt and for the most part , wild meat is our only protein source.
Where is your site location?
We are in Eastern Ontario Kent.
What is your country? I am Ursula from Fortaleza Ceara.
We live in Canada.
How come your puppy ain’t with ya walkin’ the stream ?
We were dog sitting the little guy for 2 weeks … he has been returned to his owners.
Off camera...she's still liking, aint she ?
Yup!
Oh my goodness, it seems a savage has scalped our friend or a bear has made a meal of him. He has vanished from the world wide web. 🙈😭😭
Nope, still alive here and should have a new one out tomorrow.
@@TheWoodlandEscape that is fantastic to hear. I am looking forward with great excitement to the new episode in the journey. Be blessed
Just wondering , why does he carry his firearm everywhere, even when he doesn’t need it ?
We make an effort to do everything the way it would have been done in 1750. A pioneer in that era, simply didn’t go anywhere with out it.
Either in hand or close at hand and always loaded. It was a requirement in he turbulent times of the 1700’s.
911 was not an option . Self rescue was the norm.
If you don't have CC then forget about a like. Your choice!
Hi Robert. Sorry there are no CC on this video. UA-cam automatically adds them - we don’t have any control if they show up or not
.I like your life style. Well done.Many kisses from Greece .........
