No Nails - Building A Frontiersman Survival Shelter ua-cam.com/video/HAx8sb0Uovk/v-deo.html&t
Modern "fashion" and stretch of plastic in modern clothing has greatly affected how we think of wearable fabrics and ruined the utility of most clothing. I would love a video that explained the thinking behind 18th-century clothing design. Pocket placement, layering, and materials.
Really like how they made they own shot and everything.
*their
Is that a way to make a birdshot or something bigger?
Always wondered
Guess the CCP had not invented Walmart yet - I know not funny - but true - yes, they had to make their own shot

This is so well done! It’s been so fun to watch how Townsends has grown and matured over the years. Your level of sophistication in producing videos has increased noticeably but not at the cost of your authenticity and ability to appeal to a society that is craving decency and sincerity as well as being able to learn “up close and personal” about the 18th century. I am so grateful for Townsends and your UA-cam channel.
I am so jealous! Remember, a bad day reenacting is still better than a good day at work.
Day 3. Raccoons broke into our stores of food, we have little else for the rest of the trip. Gary got kicked by his horse and his leg bone is showing. And we have all caught violent diarrhea.....
@@serronserron1320 still better than work

Hey I know some of those guys
A long time ago I was metal detecting in the Washington PA area and found a large silver spoon with a hole drilled in middle of the bottom. Thinking it useless I sold it for scrap. I later learned that may have been used to make swan shot.
This is unequivocally one of the top 5 videos Townsends has uploaded over the years.
The sounds if metal breaking , the sound of the rifle muzzle make, the wood splitting under the axe, the horses nickle and snort, the rain drizzling, the wind blowing through the branches, the fire popping and cracking. What an experience indeed. 👏
I was most immersed by this video! I could see myself there, sipping away at the broth of freshly cooked ramen noodles, hahaha! Jokes aside, I love this! Thank you so much for sharing a glimpse of the longhunter experience!
I love how Jim looks like a city folk brought into a hunt, even with period clothes
so true
Who is Jim? Jon Townsend is our host in these vids.
Jim was wearing his fancy duds 😂
Dang, just boys being boys, out in the woods as nature intended. Looks like a good time.
are you assuming their gender?
Fantastic!
Please keep these 18th Century Frontier survival and trekking videos a'comin.
🇸🇴
DEO VINDICE
I love this style of video. These journal entries were written an hour from home, it made this especially satisfying.
Really hope yous do more of this slice of life stuff. Just really soothing and relaxing!
6:39 ramen noodles?
haha those are totally ramen noodles!
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed Ye Olde Ramen. A frontier staple!
The way food prices are shooting up here in California I may just have to do some longhunting of my own 🙄
Or just do what they did and eat Ramen noodles.
Thanks for sharing your camp with us on this journey. Really enjoyed the time around the campfires. The food was awesome and plentiful. Stay safe my friends.
I used to be a skinner, its been meny years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. I miss it so much. It is a part of me, I will never forget .....
Thank you for making this video. The music is amazing John Denver would be proud.
Wonderful as usual. Such a joy and talk
about being transported. Thank you.
Long Hunting took place down south many years before Daniel Boone. Some of the
greatest were Elisha Wallen, Nathaniel Gist, and Robert Benge. These men were making forays into Kentucky 20 years before Boone in the 1750's. Most of them took wives
among the Cherokee and Shawnee Indians in order to trade and hunt in the traditional, sacred Indian hunting grounds. These men staged out of the border region of North
Carolina and Virginia along the Dan and New River were Boone would later move too
from Pennsylvania. The tales and success of these early Long Hunters went on to
inspire Boone
Hello from Detroit Michigan brother 👋 thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure through time
Another great and informative video. Really enjoyed it. The period commentary and great video shots worked so well together. Thanks for this look into the long hunter life!
I've read N Cresswell (3 times)... no better reference IMO for that time period.
Video suggestion for Townsends.... take an 18th century group into the woods, primitive camp for a week or two or three, no showers, no change of clothes... then document (video) the condition of the people, their equipment, and their camp.
This video is already one of my favourites. Really wish i was at least 5x longer, i could fall asleep watching this every night.
That type of UA-cam Channels make a cultural task! 👍👍👍
What an interesting way to make shot. This video is so soothing.
It's hard to describe the feelings and thoughts this video invokes in me. But I'm saving it on a playlist which is something I rarely do.
I wish I would accompany You in and the band of sameminded folks around. Alas I'm living in the Europe, there is lack of companies who are making these trips. I love nature, and would like to enjoy it, but a modern life just dissallows me this. You ... work, , work... and two days in a week for rest... :D
This video content is wonderful to watch and to get a feel for the life of our American ancestors. Much more interring than the past content, for me.
Thanks!
Great video, and i'm glad to see that you've included Keith from Ramshackle Homestead!
I like when you talk about shooting at deer while aiming at the top of the trees. Most people don't know they were such good climbers back then. They had to stop doing it shortly after that because those huge nests were too easy for hunters to find.
They were actually hunting squirrels. The period quotes were for ambience. They weren't narrating the task at hand.
I weep for how far from common sense folks these days have gotten. Humanity is going to die out soon, crushed under the weight of countless fools.
I enjoy most heartedly the vision of this most difficult journey in good time reminiscent of centuries past, in my cotton linen laden cherry wood four poster bed… on my iPad. Love your fine work.
Thank you for this channel
Thank you for all your hard work
I think that's really neat to have friends that are interested in something like that and are willing to participate in reenacting it with you
The saturation on the thumbnail is so high the blue healer is actually blue
Such an excellent video. Amazing and beautiful work guys!
As a woman I can appreciate how men like these strong self sufficient dudes would be very much sought after for a possible husband if one lived in the frontier! Good looks and straight teeth...optional! Lol
John this is one of the best reacting senes!verry nice senery!I would like reenact this way!I like the way the shot was made!Learned something new. Keep up the good work! God bless you and Townsends!David Back
Glamping. Wow, you guys go all out with the creature comforts. Must be nice. I'll have to try it one day.
It was great seeing the feist and the cur treeing.
Absolutely love this! Thank you for the video.
Wow I am the first one on here hi everyone! Love your videos btw
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeer
I like this format very much. I don't think you should eliminate the other ways that you present information. This production brings them together. I'm guessing you like the living reenactment part of it. I do too.
Excellent job on the video. 👍
To see more of the people featured in this video check out Keith Syers/Ramshackle Homestead with Keith and Jen.
Gotta credit the incredible men and women keeping these practices alive!
Good morning x I love watching this channel. Its so very informative, love American history, especially love cabin life. Thank! You been enjoying these beautiful film episodes, for a very long time. Never dissatisfied or dissapointed. ❤️💕💖. I very much like the ethnicity, Asian, I know much less about. 👀
The dog broke character and winked at the camera!
Great idea, to chop something with the other hand so close
Nicely done . Thank you.
Longhunters should show some hunting. Venison , elk , turkey and rabbit campfire cooking please? Thanks
Awesome. Keep up the good work and God bless.
excellent, thanks for sharing, i must read more about theses times..
Love this video, guys! Just curious..how'd ya get Simeon to wear shoes? Lol..👀
Loved it!
What a handsome pack of curr dogs ❤️
This is what i hate about australia, we have none of this. America has such deep history and people who are determined to not let it be forgotten. These videos are such a gift.
great video but that is one beautiful blue tick just wow the markings on it
I like all your videos I have to say this has to be one I especially like.
I want to see that meal when its done!
So ya gona host a rendezvous in the Laurel Highlands ? Would be fun at Fort Ligonier
Great video
You have the absolute best life.
Where do I sign up for that? That seriously looks lime more fun than a vacation to Cancun!
Next time I’ll let y’all borrow my mountain curr squirrel dog for authenticity
Outstanding 👌
That was very awesome
More videos like this please
hunting like that I'm surprised they didn't starve 😮..thank you
i've always wanted to do something like this! would be a great time i think
So cool!!
If Daniel Boone wrote that, he also wrote "Hamlet".
Good vibe video
Well done
LibriVox upload one of Cresswell's journals 1774 through 1777. While not as enjoyable as Jon's readings it is very informative.
I’ve always been interested in Longhunters. I’m actually reading a book right now called hunting pioneers fantastic bug any suggestions on more books on Longhunters would be appreciated thank you for the video.
very entertaining, like being back there except for the modern accents lol
Damn, I’m a hunter from Indonesia.. I envy to u guys .. hunt with rifle and good supplies while me only use pump action air rifle
That dog looks like a blue heeler mix, what other breed is it mixed with?
Good on the re-enactors for using authentic looking horses rather than going for an over refined looking modern bred and using authentic squirrel hunting technique with a feist dog.
I'm drawn more and more to videos like these than stupid entertainment or politics videos, and boy these are much more enjoyable to watch!
this is just cool
What happened to that horse's poor tail?
so cool!:D
July 1st 1776 one of my company shot a wild turkey. While we sat down to eat we were disturbed by the game warden who wrote us all tickets for hunting out of season and confiscated our rifles. We will surely starve.
They really out in the woods LARPing
вот это настоящяя охота👍👍👍
They lived like that because that’s all there was
Beautiful video guys. You know, I don't know what you guys season that game with, but the wild garlic is growing everywhere right now. That in the meat pan with a little deadnettle tea or dandelion root coffee and you've got a good meal with that meat you got.
was that a little plot hound I seen ?
what happened to the horse's tail? looks rather ratty or has others been chewing at it
I watched live where the heck this come from lol
Why the lead pellets?
I've never seen a horse with a tail with hardly any hair on it
This video could have been forty minutes and I would have been fine with that.
I thought muskets too inaccurate to hunt with.
Someone who is good with a smoothbore musket should be able to hit a target at 70 meters or so. And at this time they probably have early rifled muskets which would allow them to take game at longer ranges.
Where are the lady hunters?
Epic
Is that......top ramen ?
This was utterly transporting. What a treasure. It was like seeing scenes from my novels come to life. Love this slice of wilderness/frontier life. Please do more of these.
I agree hope to see more
Yes. This. ☝🏻
@Chief Wildhorse can't have that, to much fact would destroy their narrative. the truth would ruin their "story"
@Chief Wildhorse I agree. Show what the Comanche are really like.-APACHEE NATION
The leather stocking tales
Man I love this video. It’s wild to see what life could have been like for those who chose to live it this way. I know I would have chosen this life.
I understand that life like this could be very dangerous, but man, I envy the absolute freedom and experiences that these guys must have had. It must have made their trials and tribulations seem all worth it in the end.
The grass is always greener on the other side… but they certainly had some advantages and elements to life that we lack in our modern luxuries and societally made complexities.
