Planning for Immersive History Journeys
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- Immersing yourself into a living history is a unique blend of gifting and receiving-if you prepare correctly. Join me as I describe how I prepare for a weekend of living off of only the things that I carry on my back. From mindset and clothing to food and weapons. This is how I prepare for, as Mark Baker once put it, Experiential Archeology.

You never come off condescending, but there certainly are many others that need to adopt the "How I" approach.
Thank you for that feedback. It is what I hope to do.
Excellent research and presentation. Your humility is refreshing.
Thank you sir
This video actually helped me a lot. Thank you!
Awesome! See you on the next one.
My event this weekend was canceled, so planning on heading out into the woods for my own one person immersion event.
How was it?
Perhaps you can make it to Friendship, Indiana for the National Muzzleloading Rifle Associations Spring or Fall shoot. Would love to have you join us over on the traditional side of things. Thanks and stay safe! Robin
Thank you. Maybe one day for sure!
I'm so glad i found this channel. I love it. Can see myself being a long-term subscriber :)
Welcome! And thank you for the support.
What a wonderful video! Informative inspiring! Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge for us to gain authenticity in our personas.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to say it.
Another great video
Thank you for detail to the small items
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff, keep up the good work.
As always I appreciate your help and support my friend.
Another great job, keep them coming.
Thank you
awesome!!!!
Dave McClanahan
Thanks man.
Awesome!
Thanks!
great video I remember when people did a lot of videos like this for civil war reenacting.
I also got my start in that time period. I even did a video for someone else called Mastering Reenacting if it’s still around anywhere. I think I was 17 or so then.
Excellent video! I really like the how I approach. Would you mind sharing a link to the butcher shop? Thanks, kerp up the videos.
Thank you. Here is the link. www.georgesbrandmeats.com/product/smoked-and-dried-bacon/
Another enjoyable visit! I will say that well done hand sewing is very sturdy…usually it’s the fabric that wears out, not the stitches. Sewing machines were FASTER. Cheers
Very valid point!
Excellent presentation, as always
Thank you sir
Join us in Missouri sometime. Lots of places around here
Outstanding video brother and I shared this video with my friends
Awesome!
Yes my friend
I'm enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing them with us! I think most people familiar with 18th century sewing would strongly disagree with you on handsewing being inferior to machine sewing. Learning traditional stitching might prove the opposite. But a great video!
I actually think you are correct and I was wrong in the video. Someone else commented the hand stitching is actually stronger and now that I took a deeper dive into it-I was wrong. Thanks for taking the time to write.
No worries! tremendous work on your videos. I love them.

You going to Toulouse? I've got a bit of Bentons Bacon with me going to the global tempest event this weekend. I really like their work, it's heavily smoked and shelf stable until opened, they also sell whole smoked hams, etc. Very old world style. Thanks for the video, good as always
No I will not be able to make it unfortunately.
Pretty Good. Better Than Most. I did 18th century French in louisiana many years ago. Research and mindset is where it's at. Thank you.
I appreciate your kind words and support!
Excellent presentation !
Thank you!
As always, your videos are informative and easy to understand. Thank you for being a great scout and also a therapist. You're a blessing to us all.
As everyone already stated, Great job! Great information and well presented!! It looks like your blanket(s) are in your knapsack? I don’t see a tumpline.
Thank you! There is indeed a tumpline there.
Ah! Alrighty then!!! Our kit has similarities.
Great informative video. I was wondering where you got your hunting shirt from? Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I have made all of my hunting shirts. If you didn’t want to try that I would look at South Union Mills.
@@thedeerskindiary Thanks very much for the reply. I’m a little embarrassed as after I sent the request I saw the series you did on making your own hunting shirt. I don’t have the greatest sewing skills so I appreciate the recommendation of South Union Mills.
Excellent video... I have to rework and make some new gear as I will be falling in with a Light Infantry co. in November so my uniform will need tweaking...
That’s half the fun (when it works out well lol)
@@thedeerskindiary True... but its going to be fun no matter what...
Truly looking great!!
Thank you
If your impression is as a scout you will be or will have a very good knowledge of native foods and what is ready too harvest in the area you know at any time of the year and it you were a good scout you would of eaten native because it meant your smell wouldn't stand out and give you away to native scouts im English and know this im not criticising just saying all the best
Thanks for the perspective. I have read about that being prevalent in Vietnam but haven’t seen it yet in 18th century America. I will have to keep digging!
I would love to know where you obtained your ball mold. I have been looking for a proper .54 calibre mold for several years.
Forgot to add- subbed. I'll checking out your previous vids.
Awesome! Thank you.
It’s a Callahan bag mold. callahanbagmolds.com
Thanks!
I would like to ask I can no longer walk with out a modern walker but still love. The woods so how can I do a event thank you. .mike
I’m sorry for your health issues Mike. I think the easiest answer is to find an event you would like to attend and then speak with the host. There are plenty of good folks in this hobby who would find a way to help once your attendance was arranged.
@@thedeerskindiary thank your
Have you made your own salt pork?
Not yet but it is on the agenda at some point. Maybe this winter. If you have any suggestions or hints I am all ears.
@@thedeerskindiary Townsend’s has a good video on it. It’s simple. Put a layer of salt in a glass container, lay raw pork on the salt, cover with salt and repeat several layers.
Then mix up a brine solution with enough salt in the water to float a raw egg.
Pour that over the meat. Put a weight on the meat to keep it from floating.
I use a two gallon jar, and a water filled flat bottom rum bottle to keep it submerged.
To carry the meat it can be placed in a bag of salt. To use it needs to be fresher with an hour or two in changes of fresh water.
Used with peas or rice or beans you don’t have to salt it, or made in to a stew you don’t have to add any salt.
Slice thin it can be Fried like bacon.
I like the taste
Who made your rifle
I put it together from a Kibler Colonial kit. I did the whole thing although I may have someone carve my next one for me. I put my initials in this rifle but that’s about my carving skills.
Ok thanks
