I could watch videos like this all day. I had planned the same setting up my canvas tarp today but the battery died and planned to film. Still a nice outing. Great video.
Thanks bro I appreciate it! That sucks big time, I had a similar problem on this outing, only had my small memory card which ran out of space, otherwise the video would have been longer! Bill
I like these 18c-themed videos. Keep 'em coming! One channel you would probably find very interesting is the "Townsend and Son" channel which deals principally with 18c food and cooking. Some great techniques and recipes on there ...
It's funny seeing this comment 6 years later! Townsends is still around, and now they're definitely the biggest in the game! They've had fans like you and me since day one.
I am an American. I have re-enacted Canadian 1750s Milice for two decades. I know in most areas we are not allowed to make a natural shelter but when you can it’s more correct. A wool Capote a fitted overcoat with hood was used year round. A blanket was actually used sometimes instead of your canvas or as bedding down to 40. Two blankets for lower temps to the teens. Below the teens oil cloth was carried to help inclose in a conical shelter for a group. I liked your vid.
Loving it Bill. I really like and appreciate the old school way in which the frontiersmen did things. Great to see that kit. And i really liked that kephart knife as well! Cheers, Jack
Thanks David, yes it is a great shame how my generation has lost the interest and respect of skills such as these! I guess its up to us to keep the knowledge going! Bill
It can be a bugger to get a tinder bundle to burst into flame, can get light headed lol. Good video and the 18th century has some neat tools and gear. good video.
Thanks mate! Yeah this tinder bundle wasn't playing ball at first, took a while to win it over! Material was damp but not sodden so I was surprised at how long it took to flame up. Its a good thing though to have your fire making skills challenged once in a while, teaches you not to get cocky with it! Cheers for watching Bill
Was great, mate. Love that era and look forward to seeing more of the same. It's why I followed Dave Canterbury mostly because of his connection and demonstration of 18th century skills and whatnot. I think it would be interesting to see how such a kit would change from season to season as the temperature rises and lowers.
I found this video on my feed, always been interested an doing camping. Only recently though I've been looking for a new way of doing camping. I wanted to really cut back on all the unnecessary stuff an have like a 2day or bug out bag, so have been looking at the old frontier rigs, English civil war and American civil war rings. Looked at swag man an hobo rigs from the 30s, the haversack rig has my attention
Thoroughly enjoyed this Bill, only just found your channel (subscribed). Found my way here via OutdoorLifeOfBrian and his videos of your Sweden Canoe Trip. Looking forward to watching more of your vids. All the best. Dean
Haha :-) I'd love to do a trip like that, will have to get GoonieBushcraft to watch OutdoorLifeOfBrian's video and convince him to do something similar. Like the look of the Polish Lavu, my mate has one and pitches it with walking poles as support. What was the ignition device that you struck into the tinder? was it just a flint?
That was so important to I learned a lot would love to watch more your videos and I will subscribe thank you very much y'all young people still got it upstairs I tell you I'm still learning and I'm 60 years old
What an epic epic video Bill, why you dont do more of these types of videos i'll never know. Absolutely loved the idea of a natural brew kit and I got gifted some chaga recently so may try the method you used to make it. Thanks for sharing bro and please make some more videos like this ...and with better aspect ratio :) ~Peace~
Thanks my man! I really wanna focus more on this period of bushcraft so I'm hoping if I find the time to be able to do a lot more videos styled like this one, just with better ratio lol! I thought of the natural brew kit the other day, a very fitting thing to have in a traditional kit setup I think! I wanna see a traditional kit/skills video from you before the years out bro, don't care what it is, just get her done! ;) Bill
Nice video. Good to see someone focussing on what is needed as opposed to what is wanted. Gadgeteers beware - you are under threat! Just one question though. How do you stretch out to go to sleep? There didn't appear to be much room if you sleep across the shelter!
Thanks man, I'm very passionate about the traditional ways of doing things, our ancestors who did these skills for real on a daily basis managed to get by despite not having the latest hammock or stove cook kit.. So these fancy bits of kit, although are very nice and can be handy, are not at all needed to be comfortable out in the sticks. I was not staying out for the night so this shelter set up was just something that had enough room for me to sit up in. If I were sleeping in it I would just peg the tarp out further to create more room so I could stretch out. Bill
Really good clip, thanks for sharing! Quite a few similar ones on UA-cam but this is very well put together with good clear explanations and editing. Subbed your channel
Really nice , definitely more of the same are needed!!. Loving the primitive , you make me want to drop half of my backpack load and run with the essentials. If you could , a little more understanding and maybe some more shots of how you hold your fire gear while striking. Thanks for sticking with it!!. Can't wait for more. Peace
paul E Thanks for the kind words bro! I may well do some more in-depth videos covering the use of this gear and this style of fire making in the near future. Hope you continue to enjoy my videos dude! Bill
This is really a very good video. I enjoyed every moment of it, it was like I went back in time. Maybe it's an idea to look around for a re-enactment group to share more more things together? atb Mahdi
Thanks for watching Mahdi, I hope your well and recovering bud! I don't think the long hunter re-enactment thing is big over here like it is in the states which is a shame! Bill
WanderingThe Wild Thanks mate. I'm doing fine and I'll start working again this weekend (just 50%). I understand why you find much more re-enactment over that period in the States. Most Americans descend from the first pioneers. We, Europeans, descend from the people that stayed behind... not so interesting.. But if you would just find a few people interested, it would great. Especially if everyone has his own specialism. Anyway, I saw that a few items you have could be replaced. I would send you my water kettle if it wasn't too big. It looks like 18th century. But I'll keep my eyes open and in case I find something useful that looks 18th century style, I'll send it to you. atb Mahdi
Mahdi's Bushcraft & Self-Reliance Thanks awesome Mahdi thanks man! Yeah a little re-enactment group sharing skills would be sweet! Get better soon mate Bill
Nice video. You are definitely helping in my understanding of the 18th century. I am a more modern bushcrafter but like to understand what it took. Do you know if one would set up a camp, explore a little, then move to a new area? Did they set up everyday like you just did?
Thanks bro glad to hear it! Regarding your question it really depended on the situation and the type of person that would have been doing this sort of thing. My setup is a configuration that may have been a common setup, especially for a single person or small party. Native war parties when sleeping out would do nothing more than lay in a circle facing outwards so that it would be difficult for others to sneak up and ambush them. Frontiersmen/hunters would have also avoided having fires at some of their camp locations to avoid detection by whomever may be in the area. All depended on the situation dude! Bill
WanderingThe Wild Thanks Bill. I recently did a wool blanket overnight and it brought about lots of questions. How cold would someone go out in the woods with one blanket? If they had more equipment for the colder times, where would they store it during the warmer months? Especially if not near a town, or were there hobbyists then and no one went out on winter outings unless they were part of a hunting group? What food would an individual take? I read John Muir took some bread and some jerky style, but was on the starve most of the time. Thanks, I am having trouble finding info in these areas. Most is groups of trappers with access to trapper camps and horses or mules. Not too many references to what us bushcrafters of today to look to for info. Or maybe it really rarely happened?
Nature Calls I think people back then were a lot more hardy to adverse weather conditions because all they had was wool and furs to keep them warm. Obviously like you said a lot of frontiersmen would of had a pack horse to carry a lot of their equipment so if they had the resources of course they would have taken more layers of insulation. Trail food in this period consisted a lot of flour for bread, sun dried and smoke dried jerky, nuts and berries that could be foraged and also Pemmican which was a Native Indian staple food when travelling the frontier. Pemmican was the high calorie energy bar of the time, made up of ground dried meat, lard/fat, nuts and berries which would be mixed into a patty like form and dried. Bill
WanderingThe Wild Thanks Bill. I like to get out for at least 2 days because I need to drive at least a have hour then hike for a couple hours to get anywhere. I will try and practice the bread making more. I truly enjoy your videos and appreciate the angle.
Nature Calls Backpacking If your still interested the 18th century long hunters would have carried salt pork and hard tack to supplement what they hunted Dave Canterbury has done an excellent series on the subject
I'm a UK Bushcraft/Prepper myself, just wanted to know if you know any other survival TV guys besides... Ray Mears Les Stroud Bear Grylls Dave Canterbury Cody Ludin Joe Tedi Lofty Wiseman Mykel Hawke Chris Caine
@@WanderingTheWild You still making videos? Would love to talk about your gear and get you hooked up with some good resources. I've been able to build my kit over a few years for very little money.
Chaga tea is peng mate! Only tried it as a tinder when I was with you, not tried it with this stuff yet, think ill char some for the flint/steel tin! God knows what happened with the video, need your expertise! ;) Bill
On The Balcony With Kat It tastes just like normal tea but without milk/sugar. Its a really nice flavor for saying all it is is a fungus. If you do a bit of research on Chaga you'll find it has a lot of health beneficial properties in it. Bill
bikenutter1 haha! It was given to me by a friend, it doesn't grow in the UK apart from some areas of Scotland I believe. We do not have the right conditions here Bill
A little wind and rain and you would be wetter than a get out. I never understand why you guys make a shelter with a straight, vertical front. I want to be cover with as much over as is possible.
Enjoy the video, I am not certain about how authentic you are trying to get in these videos. If it more skills based and knowledge based you doing a really great job of passing the information on. Keep it up. If your looking to be fully authentic please consider utilizing some more period materials. Tent tarp and some of the clothing worn though can pass for period are not authentic. Pockets on the pants is a good example.
Historical accuracy is hard without a proper reenacting community in place. I doubt that he has access to great resources. That assumed, I would say this is a decent attempt at demonstrating self-taught skills. I just like seeing historical content that isn't being dominated and choked out by the bigger accounts.
Yeah I got one of them tents myself who's used in the army each person was issued one and you buddy up with someone and you can put them together toto make a A-Frame tent but you're better off just having a canvas tarp and a hammock that will keep you off the ground where you ain't on the cold I see ground and water running under your ass and you can make a nice tent out of the tarp have you a rope to make a ridge Pole to put above your hammock in those many different ways you can set up to stay dry on wherever you're at
Instead of a market wallet, get a knapsck or learn how to tie a tumpline. Tumplines are very aandy because almost everything you have get rolled into it
Hope life’s treating you well Bill. Used to watch your vids back in the day and had a rewatch.
I could watch videos like this all day. I had planned the same setting up my canvas tarp today but the battery died and planned to film. Still a nice outing. Great video.
Thanks bro I appreciate it! That sucks big time, I had a similar problem on this outing, only had my small memory card which ran out of space, otherwise the video would have been longer!
Bill
Yeah, I'm uploading what I have on it right now, but the end got cut short.
Cool to see young guys doing this too, great video and very informative. Thanks
Great video Bill. I enjoyed seeing your 18th century camp and various kits. Your video gave me some ideas to test out on my next campout. ATB, Ken
Glad you enjoyed and got something from it Ken! Good to hear from you buddy, I look forward to seeing what you get up to on your next campout.
Bill
I like these 18c-themed videos. Keep 'em coming! One channel you would probably find very interesting is the "Townsend and Son" channel which deals principally with 18c food and cooking. Some great techniques and recipes on there ...
It's funny seeing this comment 6 years later! Townsends is still around, and now they're definitely the biggest in the game! They've had fans like you and me since day one.
I am an American. I have re-enacted Canadian 1750s Milice for two decades. I know in most areas we are not allowed to make a natural shelter but when you can it’s more correct.

Very enjoyable! I like the linen T-bag idea, it'll save picking bits of pine needles and rose hips from my teeth.
All the best, Al.
Yeah thats always fun lol, the linen bag works a treat!
Bill
Loving it Bill. I really like and appreciate the old school way in which the frontiersmen did things. Great to see that kit. And i really liked that kephart knife as well! Cheers, Jack
Thanks Jack, yeah you gotta love the old boys that did all this stuff for real! The kephart knife was a gift from a friend, its a real workhorse!
Bill
Lovely simple set-up. And that chaga tea will keep you healthy all winter long.
The simple ways are usually the best my friend, I have heard about the health benefits so Im deffo gonna keep drinking it!
Bill
Awesome stuff. We are teaching our students some of this out on the land
Awesome video!!! I love your 18th century videos. Hope to see more.

Dean Read Yeah man deffo go for it, you'd love it! For the ignition I just used some char cloth on a piece of quartz with my steel striker

1st video of 2023
Great video my man. Have you been doing much pipe smoking recently
How did u do the tent
Nice bro chaga tea is pretty nice tbf nicer than nettle. Tried it as a ember extender yet? An Wtf happened to the aspect ratio lmao
Brian.
Chaga tea is peng mate! Only tried it as a tinder when I was with you, not tried it with this stuff yet, think ill char some for the flint/steel tin! God knows what happened with the video, need your expertise! ;)
Bill
Bro no need to char it it catches easy as anything as is so hard to put out lmao
don't put up tents ect under trees in Australia the eucalypts drop branches without warning
What was that thing that you scraped for your tea? It looked like a chunk of wood or something.
It was a piece of Chaga fungus dude
Bill
Huh... never heard of it. What does it taste like, where do you get it? Does it make a good tea?
WanderingThe Wild Huh... never heard of it. What does it taste like, where do you get it? Does it make a good tea?

Old video and don't know if you still do the 18th century frontier videos but you interested in a knife of that time period willing to send you one
+Daniel Isabelle That would be awesome dude! Im still practising the techniques of that period
what happened to you dude? hope you are still getting out doors?
There is no historical reference to a plow point shelter. Canvas was not common. Like most people there is no historical referance to your kit.
What does Chaga tea taste like? :)
Tastes very similar to normal tea without milk and sugar, very pleasant!
Bill
No sugar for me hehe, I'm sweet enough lol. Can it be found in the UK or were you sent some?
bikenutter1 haha! It was given to me by a friend, it doesn't grow in the UK apart from some areas of Scotland I believe. We do not have the right conditions here
Bill
please use your Hawk to harvest wood. Save your nice blade unless you have no choice.
A little wind and rain and you would be wetter than a get out. I never understand why you guys make a shelter with a straight, vertical front. I want to be cover with as much over as is possible.
Who’s Horace Keffart? I think you mean Kephart yes
18th century polish lavvu Hahaha
Enjoy the video, I am not certain about how authentic you are trying to get in these videos. If it more skills based and knowledge based you doing a really great job of passing the information on.

are you Frontier in England? your tent, if its rain you would all over covered in water. I love your passion but please learn a bit more
Yeah I got one of them tents myself who's used in the army each person was issued one and you buddy up with someone and you can put them together toto make a A-Frame tent but you're better off just having a canvas tarp and a hammock that will keep you off the ground where you ain't on the cold I see ground and water running under your ass and you can make a nice tent out of the tarp have you a rope to make a ridge Pole to put above your hammock in those many different ways you can set up to stay dry on wherever you're at
