I know this comment is a bit old now, but I am always aggravated when people refer to people of the past as being akin to dumb neanderthals and I appreciate your comment recognizing their ingenuity. These people of the past knew what it took to live truly. If they didn’t have it they made it, traded for it, or went without. I’d say modern convenience has made us all “dumb” chasing after logos on a pair of sneakers rather than obtaining the skills to live in a natural way.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Small world, my grandfather was friends with a family who had a home and cabins on Sugar Island, a few miles and a border away, and we spent many summers there for the fishing. One of the most surprising meals I ever had, and the best, was a Northern Pike smoked by a neighbor, an old Finnish gentleman who had lived on Sugar Island his whole life. That whole region is special in some way that I cannot define.
That's a fine artifact collection you have there... I remember also walking my Grandfather's freshly plowed fields in Missouri and finding arrowheads, and all kind of stone treasures. Those were good times, and I have a big box of rocks to show for it. My kids think it's really neat. Thanks for sharing, Peter. Congrats on your deer.
Peter as always I enjoy your video's. Such a beautiful area and I feel like I'm with you during your history lessons and chores. Keep up the great work and you're the best!
Thanks again for a wonderful video. I, too loved history as a child, in life and in school. When I was around 9 or 10 yrs of age , a family member took me to a place in the high desert where they knew a native American camp use to be. It was know only by the locals. They showed me around and what the different areas were probably used for. One was a flat topped large rock where the natives sat and worked on their arrowheads. There were still chips of rock laying there. The person told me there were no arrowheads, just the chips. After they walked away (I couldn't pull myself away from that spot), I knelt down and ran my fingers down as deep in the sand, as I could, eventually bringing up a beautiful small arrowhead. I still have it to this day. Others knowing of my love of history have brought me artifacts through the years, but that one is special as it was my first find!
“Indigenous Americans introduced democracy to Europe,” *Every Ancient Greek from Athens sits up straight and cocks an eyebrow!* I LOVE the intro theme tune. Like Pavlov’s dogs, I salivate autonomically when I hear it! Thanks for another great video. Shout out to the camera person - skillz!
Guess I can't say anything about u not carrying a tomahawk anymore! , u do have a nice one, that was awesome. If u ever do recreate it I hope u video it all. Great video
Thank you for sharing your artifacts. I have always loved seeing them. I have a hatchet about half the size of the one you showed. It had a sharp edge but a few chips in it. A lady gave it to me and was found in my area here in Indiana. I made a handle for it with wood and leather so I could display it on my wall. First time to do something like that. Very nice collection you have.
Thank you two for sharing your artifacts with us and congratulations on your successful deer hunt, I hope the upcoming month will be as successful. I didn’t realize that having a pipe built into an ax or hatchet was a real thing. Thank you Teresa for your wonderful wildlife in landscape footage, I enjoy it very much. Again, thank you.
great collection! tools like that show people patients! Something we all need more of. Im an old geologist so the types of stone used and the old lost quarries are great to study and try and piece together! Back when I could walk anyway.
Hey Peter! I really enjoy your videos. My dad, grandfather, mom and uncle use to go arrowhead hunting here in Texas where we live. My dad, grandpa, uncle and mom found all sorts of native American artifacts. Arrowheads, tools, pieces of pottery, even a fish hook made from flint. My uncle found a ceremonial spear point in the side of a creek embankment. He was clearing away dirt, and uncovered it, and the more he cleared away the dirt, the more he uncovered. By the time he was finished, he found a fully entact ceremonial spear point. My grandpa found a stone that dad seems to think must have been around acorns. But when you look at it, it looks like an eyeball. It has the look, shape and everything, but its stone. My grandpa always joked and claimed it was Geronimo's eyeball. lol
Thank you for showing us part of your collection. I watch most of your videos with my 5yr old daughter and she asked me to ask you if you could talk about or if you can show us things made for children (games, tools, toys)of this time period. Again thank you so much for sharing your passion with us all.
What an amazing collection. I still remember learning about the indigenous peoples in my part of Ontario while visiting Crawford Lake here in Milton. Keep your collection, you're using it for good, to teach, not exploit. Also I hope that you film your blacksmithing work this winter, I'd love to see the process!
You better have lots of firewood stored up. They say this winter (2024-25) will be one for the record book, with an early cool fall to boot. Whatever amount of wood you set aside I would double it.
It looked cold harvesting the root vegetables!! You grow mighty big veges up there!! Another great & informative chin wag with you. I love the history of the area & stories about the indigenous people. We are now heading for our Aussie summer with temperatures reaching well into the mid 40s C. (115 F) occasionally. Enjoy the winter up there & good luck with the deer harvest.
Another great video! Thanks for the information about how the indigenous people inspired Thomas Jefferson. I never knew that. Your knowledge is amazing.
Once again you ”made my day” here on the other side of “The Pond”. I always start my day out in good mood after watching one more chapter of The Woodland Escape - Thank you !!!
Very nice question, & answer video of your goals, plans, & love for your pet’s! Wish you, & Steve a Happy Thanksgiving filled with great memories. Be safe, stay healthy, & God Bless everyone.
I have a stone mortar that I found the next spring after digging a ditch through farm land. It sat at the base of a big oak tree along the Little Luckiamutte river near Dallas Oregon. It was turned upside down, left for the next use so it would not fill with water and break from freezing. It was used to process acorns. A young lady riding a horse found another almost the same size laying in the bottom of the ditch. We found lots of pestle pieces in the fields. I have one that is 14" long. The mortar is 10" around 12" tall. i have 3-5 gallon buckets of arrow heads and other small pieces. Another interesting thing is the land was part of Camp Adair during WW2 and we find a lot of ordinance, quite a bit are still live rounds, even today. There are a few Indian burial mounds along the river right in that area too....James
Flint knapping: I had a flintlock rifle as a teenager in the 1960s. To get flints for it, I would have to send away to somewhere like DGW. Out of desperation, I would find "flinty" looking rocks, take a hammer, and knock flakes off them. When I got sharp-edged flakes, I would break the other edges to the right size for the rifle, and I was back in business.
I accidently ran across your channel a few days ago, and am hooked! Your knowledge, skill, and expertise is a tribute to your dedication to history! Keep up the good work, for those of us who enjoy your work.
Okay, NOW this makes sense to me. I soOOoo envisioned you Peter, as having the capabilities for teaching the young all the myriad and wonderful knowledge you have accrued and live by. How WONDERFUL! Children are being lost to technology, if we can 'revive' them with actual history and getting them to participate in such history...perhaps not all will be lost. You are doing your part and I find it very interesting to be able to learn from each vid you and your lovely wife provide. When I think about allllll the time it took/takes to make or replicate tools, I think; "Who in the world had the time to do this? Life being demanding enough on time, I can only imagine the old and the young. What an opportunity for a wonderful rapport between generations if such indeed is a feasible scenario. Thank-you most kindly for sharing your time/talents with us. Good luck with the hunt. God Bless you n' yours!
Just a suggestion from a Firefighter who worked off ladders for most of his life- when climbing, slid the hand that is free up the back of the ladder beam. Doing the grab and hope on the rungs will eventually give you the opportunity to fall backwards with the resulting interesting results.
Sound advice. Funny, I used to teach college students practical arboriculture and instructed them the way you suggest … bad habits can establish themselves. Thanks for your interest.
Beautiful collection! And wonderful history! I had never seen a pounding stone so huge, I am thinking definitely used for grain to make flour. I couldn't help but notice next to your garden is Queen Anne's Lace flower heads that have gone to seed. I found the most wonderful seasoning in the seeds and heads, I used my mortar and pestle grinding it up finely. I use it on all my meats, well except fish. But great for all others. :) I was told the Indians used to bury their hides a foot or so below a open fire to cure it and for the fur to in essence rot or rub off, for making pouches n such. (lenope sioux) peace chief told me of this in the early 90's.
Interesting Debra, I will most definitely give Queen Anne’s Lace a try. A common name for it up here is wild carrot. The hide idea sounds a bit odd, as one is always trying to keep bacteria at bay during the numerous processes. Having said that it may work, given it is in a anaerobic environment.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Yes it sounded odd to me too but that's what peace chief Grey Wolf said, lol we argued about a few things about hides back then. I know the Susquehannock Tribe used stone scrapers like those you have there to get the flesh off the hides, I know that must take a lot of time and work! Makes me appreciate my moccasins a whole lot more! But yep do try the Queen Anne's lace seeds, I was very surprised myself! it taste like bay and hmm basil combined a bit. But very worth it. I usually pick mine when still a touch green on them.
I to fletch my arrows with Turkey feathers from my front yard. The Native Americans understood arrow dynamics. Alot of people don't notice but if you hold the arrow head by the end that attaches to the shaft. Look down the leading from the tip. You will see that one side will roll one direction and the other in the opposite. Then they would match the fletching to the roll of the arrow head. Giving it a faster spin thus stabilizing and even lift. At least the ones I have found in California, Oregon and Washington.
As always appreciate your efforts and dedication. I too give educational programs on First Nation life ways and stone age technology. The artifacts really draw the audience in and allows for a deeper understanding in my experience. I try to replicate what I have read and see if the application is practical or just theory. Thanks again and keep your powder dry!
In Europe there was a people that were known as the beaker people, they lived about 10,000 years ago. I have seen many many of their artifacts including many arrow heads (often made of flint) and I have to say that the beaker people of 10,000 years ago were light years ahead in their work than that you are showing from 5 or 600 years ago which has surprised me because I thought that the Clovis people of the Americas who are of a similar age produced some fairly good works.
I’m down in So Texas, the Comanche were the dominant tribe here. We find a lot of flint arrowheads but the Comanche started trading for and taking on raids the steel barrel bands and cut arrowheads from that. I found a knife that is 3000 yrs old. That’s my prize find.
I think many of us forget how incredibly gifted and bright the people who came before us were. Thank you

You gotta love watching someone that loves what he does.
At 3:38 I do not know what that is, but it is adorable and I want to make sure it has a happy life.
Not sure but, perhaps your referring to the porcupine.
There is nothing better than crossing the bridge onto the island.
Indeed and a bridge soon to be replaced. Are you from Manitoulin?
@@TheWoodlandEscape No I'm in Sudbury and go to the Island every chance I get.

What a great quote. My favorite cup says” Everyone must believe in something, I believe I’ll go canoeing”!
Great content. You give us an escape we all wish we had to get away from the chaos.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
I greatly appreciated this video. Many think that History in North America started with the first European settlers.
Love the History lessons ... very interesting how people lived many years ago !
Love those artifacts. Things like that have always interestd me.

“Indigenous Americans introduced democracy to Europe,”

Thank you and you are right!
I didn't catch this but as a Greek, thank you for the proper answer 👍
Only thing to say......BRAVO!
I am amazed to learn from you that the First Nations People crafted gouges from stone!
Thanks again for sharing your journey, world and knowledge with us.
Music in this video is very calming ❤
The blue cloud coverage is beautiful! Enjoy these videos so much. Here it is after one am and my eyes are clued to what happens next!
Please keep these coming. They are are always an absolute joy to watch. Thank you for all of the effort.
Awesome presentation
Guess I can't say anything about u not carrying a tomahawk anymore! , u do have a nice one, that was awesome. If u ever do recreate it I hope u video it all. Great video
Hi Mr. Pete! Loved the lesson on artifacts. Your knowledge is always outstanding. Take care!
This was one of my favorite videos for information .
I find it a fascinating topic and honestly, I just scratched the surface in terms of information. We’re glad you found it informative.
Very interesting...Thank you!
Hi thank you for a wonderful history lesson we really enjoy the music Larry June and Laurie
Great lesson. Thank you!

Thank, TJ.
Very interesting you live quite a life I bet it’s a very nice life keep up the good work God bless

Thanks for sharing the history lesson on our native brothers and sisters blessings to all
Unfortunately, that's not actual history...
Some cool things you have there
Thank you!!

I have always wanted to hunt arrowheads!
that stone with two drilled holes in it looks like a ballast for a net or a wage for a cloth making

Peter I'd suggest the smaller pestle could be for medicine, but also for grinding ochre for face paint. The tiny one would fit in a small paint kit.
That’s brilliant. Thank you!
i love raw turnips, they have a chestnutty flavor
I too like raw turnip but, I’ve met few that share that taste.
Outstanding history lesson! Thank you.
I have a stone mortar that I found the next spring after digging a ditch through farm land. It sat at the base of a big oak tree along the Little Luckiamutte river near Dallas Oregon. It was turned upside down, left for the next use so it would not fill with water and break from freezing. It was used to process acorns. A young lady riding a horse found another almost the same size laying in the bottom of the ditch. We found lots of pestle pieces in the fields. I have one that is 14" long. The mortar is 10" around 12" tall. i have 3-5 gallon buckets of arrow heads and other small pieces. Another interesting thing is the land was part of Camp Adair during WW2 and we find a lot of ordinance, quite a bit are still live rounds, even today. There are a few Indian burial mounds along the river right in that area too....James
Wow, great finds!
Amazing how primitive ppl could make things through time and continuous effort
And that stuff is fascinating
Flint knapping: I had a flintlock rifle as a teenager in the 1960s. To get flints for it, I would have to send away to somewhere like DGW. Out of desperation, I would find "flinty" looking rocks, take a hammer, and knock flakes off them. When I got sharp-edged flakes, I would break the other edges to the right size for the rifle, and I was back in business.

Just a suggestion from a Firefighter who worked off ladders for most of his life- when climbing, slid the hand that is free up the back of the ladder beam. Doing the grab and hope on the rungs will eventually give you the opportunity to fall backwards with the resulting interesting results.

I believe they did. There are many pieces that extraordinary but, also many I think were simply functional.

That does sound like an amazing find. Mine is a spitting mail used by canoe builders that is about the same vintage.
I have looked and looked and can't find a single out of place object. Plastic, cell phones, etc. Congratulations!
