Too many people have forgotten the old ways, myself included. It's a good thing to know because you never know when you may need the knowledge. Nice vid. brother.
Thanks for keeping the traditions alive. I've enjoyed these videos immensely. I've made many old world clothing from capotes to exactly the same footwear as you've done. It all works great including my muzzloarder which still shoots center. Thanks so much for sharing !
Love your videos! Between you and Critter you both are putting out some of the best long hunter videos to date! Very informative and instructive. Thank you and please keep them coming!
Brian-- GREAT video as always... I like the longer length with the additional content and the variety of subjects... I also like the way you look at the historical approach and test it to see if it still has value today... My only small criticism would be--- MORE videos!!! Thanks for your willingness to share the knowledge!
Followed you from Pathfinder TV where your presentations are great! I have been wanting to make something like these biscuits for years (really), so I anxiously made the first attempt today. I used half milk and half buttermilk. I used half corn meal and half whole wheat flour, and added 3 good pinches of salt. Cooked at 325 for something like 45 minutes and they are awesome! Exactly what I wanted. The wife likes them a lot and even better with a healthy smear of peanut butter. My third and final tray is in the oven now. I'm going to cook it longer just to see what they are like. Thank you so very much for this! I'll be following your channel forever.
'mornin 2 ya, Brian & Pup; Really Appreciate the time U spent making & sharing your skills with us. The Biscuit Recipe will B made within the next few days, "YUMMY ".I'm going 2 try & fashion a pair of the shoe packs,soon as I can drum up the materials.Great Collection Of Different Axes.Thanks Again 4 Sharing This. Happy Trails From The Maritimes In Canada
I am looking to go out on a camp trip this week for a week. lol. I hope. I have my pack ready and looking for good snacks to take with me. im going were there is fishing and small game so I would like to make my meals wild. these will go good on the trails. thank you for your time and keep the vids coming I watch all of them. thank you. cant wait for the day in the woods part 2. till next time.
Awesome stuff man. Think I'm gonna try out that biscuit recipe, they looked tasty. Those wool ankle wraps you did at the end are known to me as winingas and were used all the way back in the viking age(and probably earlier). It's fascinating sometimes the things that stay the same through the ages. Real glad I found out about you through Pathfinder TV! Give that fluffy grey ball of fur a pet for me!
I can't answer that only because I did not see it being forged, I will however be speaking with the person that produces them and will try to remember to ask.
Good job on the vids, I love all of the 18c info, as a kid I grew up in the woods. In two branch's of service, I was taught only military survival. The history is lost, in that they weren't going out to the woods for the weekend. It was the day to day life for them, No kit,. No hunt, No eat. NO Win Dixie or Lowe's down on the corner for them. I say again... Good job on your vids. I have a lot to learn on making vids myself. Thanks ONT
Thank you very much, however I don't believe the history is lost as long as there're persons like me which help keep it alive by experimental archeology it's there you gotta go some!!
Great job on the boots,..may want to make a second pair of liners. Can swap them out when they get clammy from sweat,..dry first pair safe distance from fire. I love removable liners in a winter boot. Again,..great job
amazing series so far, as I commented before I really am enjoying this series. Can I make one request, I'm not sure if you can but please bring back the Father, Son and Friends music from the first epesodes!! haha. I wouldn't mind getting hold of an album from them I love the music. Thanks Dan
great video, the length was perfect, and the content was awesome. I was surprised to see you in the kitchen, I had no idea you were so domesticated! ;) lol
Well, the biscuits just came out of the oven I only had 1 puck of maple sugar left so I crushed up a Piloncillo. I ended up increasing the temp to 350 for 35 minutes. They turned out great WAY better than ships biscuit. They are kind of like Lays potato chips, because I can’t just eat one. Thanks for the great recipe.
Good video! I usually carry the head of a Cold Steel Rifleman's Hawk in my emergency kit. While I prefer an axe to a hawk most of the time, the ability to carry just the head and then quickly make a handle whenever I need makes the tomahawk a very versatile survival tool! BTW, what kind of bird was that?
No matter the length of the video Brian both video's were excellent. Very educational. Those pack boots look great. So good I might just try them for the pair of aircraft carriers I got sitting at the bottom of both of my legs. same with the wool leggings...... The biscuits I think is something i'm going to try asap. The Shadows in the forest is an awesome series my friend, Keep em coming brother.
My thanks for stopping by and enjoying the video, more to follow of course yep try making a pair there is a learning curve but not that hard. Let me know if you do and tell how they work!
I most certainly will my Friend. I'm just hoping I can get my hands to work good enough to sew them together..... I might have to break it up over several days to get them sewn together, as I have arthritis in my hands and it is tough for for me....... 1 way or another.
I like the way you made the moc's and am wondering if the same can be done with thick soled boot moc's I need thick soles because of a pre existing condition in the nerves of my feet and am wondering about making some for hunting but they need to be at least 4-5 layers thick and thick leather also
Heh! Brother! Great video as usual! Two questions about your shoe packs: Does the fact that your toes will wear through the inner and therefore compromise inner sooner bother you? What is the percentage of tallow to bees wax that you use?
Yo Rick what up bro?! How you been on the other side of the border? Thanks man for watching again...My little toes will be just fine as I have made several pairs of liners to change them out often so there ha!. The % was something like 30- 35 wax to tallow I think I kinda did it by eye and feel I did not want it too stiff. Nice to see you back!
Awesome vid brother. I love those shoe packs they look a lot simpler to make than moccasins. I was waiting for Robin Hood to jump out somewhere. Have you ever made them up past the calf?
Thanks for the reply. I love going back on your video I catch a video to watch again all the time, I am also wondering if you went to the school of the longhunter this year I don't remember seeing the video.
Brian.. I am going to have to try those biscuits! That is an awesome shirt and hood combo you are wearing. Do you have a video on it? I just found your channel a few days ago and will be playing catch up for a little while. Really enjoying your videos. Shad
JUst found these and watched 6 of them so far. Great content, especially the longer ones. My only concern is that your audio is pretty sketchy. Some times I can barely hear you and then suddenly I have to turn it way down. Other than that, I love it.
It is like today we start with our provisions at home for what we wish to take out camping. I will try to bring recipes to use today as what was used then. Thanks
Nope that would be for bannock, if you want these to last you need these dry. Moisture will make them go bad. I've had these last 2 months in a cloth sack! Thanks for watching plenty more recipes to follow!
I was rewatching this video again I would like to make the simple biscuit I need to know how much milk and how long. I would love a copy of the original if possible either reply will be appreciated
great video . more recipes would be good P.S I'm looking for a belt axe for chopping and hammering .I am using a fiskars and like it a lot but it needs to be a little longer and better at hammering with I cutting edge about the same size. Got any suggestions ? thanks Ron P
Hey Brian, I was hoping to have made these biscuits yesterday before going hunting this morning, but that didn't work out so well. My first batch just came out of the oven a few minutes ago, and my wife an I both agree that they are pretty good. I couldn't fund Maple sugar in the stores down here (Tennessee). So I reduced the amount of table sugar a little and then added some maple syrup. Wife and I are going hiking inn Ga next weekend, hopefully they make it to take with us as a trail snack. Thanks again.
any idea on how long the biscuits will keep by just keeping them in something like a food saver vacuum sealed bag or jar? I havealways wondered how the Indians and frontiersmen keep their feet dry during winter. in sw ohio and northern ky we get mostly rain and mud then some wet snow and mud, then back to rain and mud all the way into june. i'm convinced that they had cold wet feet much of the time. also I think they slipped and fell a lot' thanks for the video .
you probably could do that to freeze them I put them in a cloth sack, keep them dry and have had them last for 2 months. they had troubles with feet for sure ice creepers would help them though. thanks for stopping by!
No breeding, had pups and took in rescues that no none wanted. Had a sled team alas he is the last I raised from a pup. When he leaves I have to change breeds, I don't get the weather I use too. Way too hot in summer and not much snow in the winter.
+Pagsc I think you're addressing the the Dark Tomahawk? I only showed one poled ax that was at the end. If it's the dark tomahawk the head weighs in at 10.5 oz. and is the one sold by self reliance outfitters
While you gave a good recipe and demo in the video I was wondering if anyone has made a cookbook with these older recipes for modern times. For example I know back then they had ovens but they were not temperature controlled like we have today so how you would cook them (temp and time) would be the type of thing that would be adjusted for modern times. Of course nothing would beat making such things in an old wood fired oven but today we don't have to. Kind of a blend between the old school how to using modern equipment.
No not a modern cookbook but you can find old old cookbooks and convert to this age I do this often to get away from processed foods. Google 18th century cookbooks several pop up, good luck! And thanks for watching.
Here's some links I've found helpful when looking for old recipes. digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/project.html www.foodtimeline.org/index.html Resources for finding other archives of books. onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/archives.html archive.org/details/texts www.librum.us/ For help using those old recipes with todays modern kitchens Google: Old Recipe Conversion. Turns up quite a few sites with helpful information. Plus, remember, too, that unless baking where strict adherence to quantities is often key to results, approximate amounts will work. For example, if making a stew, it isn't necessary to use the exact amount of potatoes called for in a 1700's or a 2014 one, to get good results. If you are an experienced cook, you can work with most of those old recipes. Regardless of how they designate a quantiy of butter, it's likely you'll understand approximately how much is needed. Based on cooking similar modern version recipes. Hope these links & thoughts are helpful.
Bryan, I have enjoyed all of your videos to date. If you check on UA-cam for Jas. Townsend and Sons they have 3 or 4 DVD concerning early American cooking, I have tried some of the receipes he shows on UA-cam with great success.
Snowalker13 do you have a video of that? Or what is that kind of coat called so I can look it up? Nice craftmanship man, I subscribed yesterday and am impressed with your level of competency!
james barr Thanks for your support however, no I don't and you won't see one I make those to sell from time to time.so I will not publicize my pattern sorry.
Have you ever seen Norse style leg wraps? You start at the top and finish by tucking them into your boots/shoes....just a thought, could be a way to loose the leather thongs if you want to.....by the way, great video, very well made.
I have, these were known as putties by the English, and the French had a name that escapes me. Thanks for stopping by and you informative comment stop by again!
Yeah actually I did you add enough until you get the right consistency of the dough, there is no one measurement for the amount. That's the hard part of 18th Century recipes sometimes you have to experiment with them.
Too many people have forgotten the old ways, myself included. It's a good thing to know because you never know when you may need the knowledge. Nice vid. brother.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to watch. Practicing the old methods definitely can be rewarding!
Thanks for keeping the traditions alive. I've enjoyed these videos immensely. I've made many old world clothing from capotes to exactly the same footwear as you've done. It all works great including my muzzloarder which still shoots center. Thanks so much for sharing !
Hey bro thanks for taking the time to watch and comment stop back soon!
Excellent format Brian. My shoe packs are soon to come. Thank you for doing such a great example. Loved the recipe too. Thanks again.

Hey thanks bro !
Fantastic vid, that is good knowledge to have.
Thanks man glad you liked it!
Awesome video, good teachings. Keep up the good work
My wife made the biscuits for me yesterday, they are great with a little honey on them. Thanks snowalker.
Ha! Why did you not make them yourself? LOL
oh erm the kitchen is off limits to me as i'm in bed with a cold
Makes sense feel better!!
That last axe you show, was made with the plow share method. I've had a hawk like that for 30 years. It was a way for smiths to save the best steel.
I can't answer that only because I did not see it being forged, I will however be speaking with the person that produces them and will try to remember to ask.
Good job on the vids, I love all of the 18c info, as a kid I grew up in the woods. In two branch's of service, I was taught only military survival.

Thank you very much, however I don't believe the history is lost as long as there're persons like me which help keep it alive by experimental archeology it's there you gotta go some!!
Awesome videos, bro. Keep them coming please.
Thank you I will!
Never thought of using a mason jar lid as a cookie cutter great idea.
Just a trick, thanks
Great job on the boots,..may want to make a second pair of liners. Can swap them out when they get clammy from sweat,..dry first pair safe distance from fire. I love removable liners in a winter boot. Again,..great job
absolutely several pair are in order bro!
amazing series so far, as I commented before I really am enjoying this series. Can I make one request, I'm not sure if you can but please bring back the Father, Son and Friends music from the first epesodes!! haha. I wouldn't mind getting hold of an album from them I love the music. Thanks Dan
Yeah that's not gonna happen I'm going to change this one soon too it needs to evolve. Nice try though LOL! Thanks for you interest in it!!
Perfect timing as I am about to make a wool hunting shirt and will have material left over. Thank you.
Excellent bro!
great series thanks for sharing some great knowledge
+Bushcraft Adventures France Thanks for taking the time to watch some
Very informative! Keep the recipes coming too!
Sure will!
Snowalker13
I just made a batch of the biscuits, delicious! The wife likes them too!
Well that's a home run.
Thanks Brian, very informative
You're welcome
great video, the length was perfect, and the content was awesome. I was surprised to see you in the kitchen, I had no idea you were so domesticated! ;) lol
Thanks bro! However I prefer self resilient thank you!!!
LoL ;)
Who made the first pole hawk? Nice looking piece.
Thanks, I can't remember lol
as always brian great stuff I like the recipe stuff ill be trying the biscuit soon
Awesome! Happy New Year!!
same to you
another excellent informative video. thanks for sharing. are the leggings just a cut up wool blanket?
Yep video to follow soon I hope! Thanks for watching!
Great video Brian, I am going to make those biscuits tomorrow. Love the shoe packs, Keep up the good work.
Thanks bro good luck let me know how you do!
Brian, about how long did you cook the biscuits?
15 -30 mins depending on your oven, altitude and thickness use the toothpick method insert it in when it comes out clean done usually "golden brown"
Well, the biscuits just came out of the oven I only had 1 puck of maple sugar left so I crushed up a Piloncillo. I ended up increasing the temp to 350 for 35 minutes. They turned out great WAY better than ships biscuit. They are kind of like Lays potato chips, because I can’t just eat one. Thanks for the great recipe.
Ha I'm making some now!
Thanks for the video. Tons of good info.
Wisdom Jason lol!
Apologies if I missed it on a previous video, but what's the tallow+beeswax mixture you used to treat the footwear? Just an equal 1:1 mixture?
Good video! I usually carry the head of a Cold Steel Rifleman's Hawk in my emergency kit. While I prefer an axe to a hawk most of the time, the ability to carry just the head and then quickly make a handle whenever I need makes the tomahawk a very versatile survival tool!
BTW, what kind of bird was that?
Yes valid points for sure it's a lovebird
Very cool, good stuff.
Thanks man
Beck Adventures in a cloth bag I've had them last for 2 months easy it can vary.
No matter the length of the video Brian both video's were excellent. Very educational. Those pack boots look great. So good I might just try them for the pair of aircraft carriers I got sitting at the bottom of both of my legs. same with the wool leggings...... The biscuits I think is something i'm going to try asap. The Shadows in the forest is an awesome series my friend, Keep em coming brother.
My thanks for stopping by and enjoying the video, more to follow of course yep try making a pair there is a learning curve but not that hard. Let me know if you do and tell how they work!
I most certainly will my Friend. I'm just hoping I can get my hands to work good enough to sew them together..... I might have to break it up over several days to get them sewn together, as I have arthritis in my hands and it is tough for for me....... 1 way or another.
galen long Take your time do what you can and above all have fun doing it why push yourself !!
I will bro, thanks.
I like the way you made the moc's and am wondering if the same can be done with thick soled boot moc's I need thick soles because of a pre existing condition in the nerves of my feet and am wondering about making some for hunting but they need to be at least 4-5 layers thick and thick leather also
Use an insole and add more layers, you just have to remember it will change the measurement of the sides
Heh! Brother!
Great video as usual!
Two questions about your shoe packs:
Does the fact that your toes will wear through the inner and therefore compromise inner sooner bother you?
What is the percentage of tallow to bees wax that you use?
Yo Rick what up bro?! How you been on the other side of the border? Thanks man for watching again...My little toes will be just fine as I have made several pairs of liners to change them out often so there ha!. The % was something like 30- 35 wax to tallow I think I kinda did it by eye and feel I did not want it too stiff. Nice to see you back!
That was awesome.
Awesome vid brother. I love those shoe packs they look a lot simpler to make than moccasins. I was waiting for Robin Hood to jump out somewhere. Have you ever made them up past the calf?
Hey bro! I have not made them past the calf as of yet but may this summer! Thanks for commenting as always. Nice to see you back
Thanks for the reply. I love going back on your video I catch a video to watch again all the time, I am also wondering if you went to the school of the longhunter this year I don't remember seeing the video.
Couldn't make it this year, next year is a go
begining is alot like 4pm in England tea n bikkies lol love the videos
Haha Thanks man
Brian.. I am going to have to try those biscuits! That is an awesome shirt and hood combo you are wearing. Do you have a video on it? I just found your channel a few days ago and will be playing catch up for a little while. Really enjoying your videos.
Shad
Thanks bro sorry no video on that blanket shirt I make them to sell. Glad you happened on the my channel thank you for watching and commenting!
JUst found these and watched 6 of them so far. Great content, especially the longer ones. My only concern is that your audio is pretty sketchy. Some times I can barely hear you and then suddenly I have to turn it way down. Other than that, I love it.
It happens I cant afford an expensive mic
awesome video
Thank you!
Do a video on knives tools etc of 18th century woodsman. Great video man:)
I have bro please check the playlist, thanks for watching!
wonderful biscuits, I can't help but want to add just a little cinnamon to the mix?
I will make some! let you know how I get on.
Go ahead and experiment I offer the original recipe. You think they didn't play with recipes back then?
love the videos like that your going to include cooking in them only one othe place that does.
It is like today we start with our provisions at home for what we wish to take out camping. I will try to bring recipes to use today as what was used then. Thanks
throw some raisins, walnuts, chocolate chips, or pecans in them bisquits..........also awesome kit sir.
top notch video. well produced.
Nope that would be for bannock, if you want these to last you need these dry. Moisture will make them go bad. I've had these last 2 months in a cloth sack! Thanks for watching plenty more recipes to follow!
Recently found your channel....great stuff
Thanks very much!
great vid how long do they last .like shelf life be before they go bad?
Put them in a cloth bag keep them dry. I have had them last for 2 months your results may vary
Great Video !!!!
Thanks for taking the time to watch it!
I was rewatching this video again I would like to make the simple biscuit I need to know how much milk and how long. I would love a copy of the original if possible either reply will be appreciated
It's all by eye and trial and error bro to find what works and tastes good to you
I bet those shoes are great for stalking & hunting, light wight & can feel the ground under your feet!
Yes they work well, shhhhh lol!
great video . more recipes would be good P.S I'm looking for a belt axe for chopping and hammering .I am using a fiskars and like it a lot but it needs to be a little longer and better at hammering with I cutting edge about the same size. Got any suggestions ? thanks Ron P
Thanks bro! More recipes are coming, as far as axe Wetterlings Hand axe, or Fine Forest Axe worth every penny.
Gonna have to try these biscuits. Thanks!
How long (ballpark) and what temp.?
250 -300 for 10 to 30 mins depending on your oven of course
Hey Brian, I was hoping to have made these biscuits yesterday before going hunting this morning, but that didn't work out so well.
My first batch just came out of the oven a few minutes ago, and my wife an I both agree that they are pretty good. I couldn't fund Maple sugar in the stores down here (Tennessee). So I reduced the amount of table sugar a little and then added some maple syrup.

Glad you did thanks
12:05 the guest appearance of your hound, he's a handsome one! What breed? Must be great company when out in creation.
Alaskan Malamute
Snowalker13 I thought so but he's a bigun
Ha! He's the smallest one I ever had in 25 years.
Snowalker13 you breed em big bub
No breeding, had pups and took in rescues that no none wanted. Had a sled team alas he is the last I raised from a pup. When he leaves I have to change breeds, I don't get the weather I use too. Way too hot in summer and not much snow in the winter.
nice vid. hope you faired the last winter storm ok
Thanks! Yep faired well cold though brrrrrrr! lol
what is the make of the first square polled axe you showed and what is the head weight? Thanks for the vid
+Pagsc I think you're addressing the the Dark Tomahawk? I only showed one poled ax that was at the end. If it's the dark tomahawk the head weighs in at 10.5 oz. and is the one sold by self reliance outfitters
Very Cool
Thasnks
Good video Snowwalker13.
Thank you for watching!
More, more, more!
There will be there's 20 other vids in the series lol!
Haha, that's great man. I've been watching them all.

If you are an experienced cook, you can work with most of those old recipes. Regardless of how they designate a quantiy of butter, it's likely you'll understand approximately how much is needed. Based on cooking similar modern version recipes.

Bryan, I have enjoyed all of your videos to date. If you check on UA-cam for Jas. Townsend and Sons they have 3 or 4 DVD concerning early American cooking, I have tried some of the receipes he shows on UA-cam with great success.

Have you ever seen Norse style leg wraps? You start at the top and finish by tucking them into your boots/shoes....just a thought, could be a way to loose the leather thongs if you want to.....by the way, great video, very well made.

You never said how much milk goes in them.
Yeah actually I did you add enough until you get the right consistency of the dough, there is no one measurement for the amount. That's the hard part of 18th Century recipes sometimes you have to experiment with them.
I made these but they came out a much lighter color than yours
