The part where you guys toasted to the cabin and made small talk while eating was my favorite part. It was so simple but very moving. It was the exact scenario that took place thousands of times on the frontier. The feeling of we built this with our bare hands and know we have a life here. And then you talked about the need to get some meat. It was the most heartfelt historically accurate conversation Ive ever heard. Congratulations!!
Those are kind words, Caleb. I do enjoy staying in a first person role… somehow talking about the Superbowl or current politics wrecks the ambience.
Omg your Irish 🇮🇪.I knew I liked you 🤣.Best wishes from your ancestral homeland 🙏blessings to you both .and all who read this
love it so much! just beautiful.💯
Congratulations Peter on completing the cabin and having your first meal with your wife. I have watched from the beginning when you started the construction. I'm a history buff and enjoyed every week you shared your journey of this exciting educational lesson of how a real log cabin was built in the early 1700's with the the tools and skills it took to build a master piece with authenticity. Peter, you are a true craftsman, which is rare these days. Excited to see what you do next, God willing, on your educational journey of sharing what simple life was like back then. God bless you and your family.
Thanks Wayne for your flattering comments. We are glad you’re enjoying.
I think it’s just wonderful how the universe has put two lovely people together who are at peace and walk the same path. What a fabulous story that is unfolding. 🙏👍🌈🍷
Wow, now that is a flattering compliment, thank you from both of us.
It truly does shine from both of you....God bless my new brother and sistrr
A man who enjoys his life and all his accomplishments. Blessed with a lovely wife. Life does not get any better
He has many accomplishments of which to be proud. What a talented guy.
Simply beautiful. What a beautiful life to live in a simpler time.
Totally agree, Beverly. A slower, all be it a tad more vigorous lifestyle .
I hope you two enjoy many more great years in your beautiful cabin.
We thank you for the well wishes.
Just today 2024 came across your channel , absolutely blown away what an education and skill you both radiate . Love to you both all the best for 2024
Well, we’re glad you found us and a Happy 2024 to you and your clan.
I stayed at the original Woodland Escape cabin as this new cabin was but a shell! I had the biggest smile on my face watching this video. I hope to come visit again and see the new cabin in person!
I like making people smile. Thanks Ryan and you are welcome back anytime.
What a Lovely Family Feast! Kind Thanks and Many Blessings with Abundance from Mother Earth! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
You and your wife should be very proud and satisfied. Your hard work has paid off. Here’s to a successful fall hunt.
I just stumbled across this channel. You got me hook line and sinker. I'm 61 and this helps me go back to a simpler time in life.
Hi Donald, we are glad you are enjoying our step back in time endeavor.
He reminds me of David Carradine. Great video looks like heaven.
Many meals and memories in 10 months. Congratulations
Indeed there has been, Linda.
He looks like the 1800 men. His clothing & shoes are rare to say the least. The cabin is beautiful !
Thanks Donna.
This is the proof that you can have more with less.
greetings from Germany
May GOD continue to richly and abundantly bless your union and your lives. I just noticed this YT feed to my channel. I retired from city to rural life about 3 yrs ago. I'm close to the James River in the Blue Ridge of Appalachia. BYW - the best meat I have ever tasted was a moose steak on the outside grill, 49 years go in Warren, Manitoba...20ish miles north-west of Winnipeg. I was a 23 yr old newlywed to a Canadian man.
Thanks for your kind words. I totally agree, there is no finer meat on this planet than moose. We are off September 12 for 3 weeks on our annua l moose hunt.
@@TheWoodlandEscape
Stay safe & good hunting.
Sit down to a first lovely meal, fresh game & fresh vegetables ! But sir in the house a gentleman clears his cover when entering a home & never worn at the meal table!.....ATB
Indeed, I must work on my manners.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Ment no disrespect to you or your channel, I will just refrain from making any comments on your videos....ATB
I just discovered your channel… and how I feel I was born two centuries too late! I’ve subscribed, and look forward to a binge into the past!
Thanks for your interest and support Randall.
Chopping wood in a light rain……… doesn’t get much better knowing a warm fire and meal are coming soon. Well done sir!
Oh, Kathy, I have waited to see you for so long! You are beautiful and hope that you will be visual in more of your videos. Peter you are so blooming lucky! My best wishes to you two!
I am feeling the love.
Thank you Both, from the bottom of my heart. I am so glad i found you. Finally a channel i enjoy, and i am learning from. Merry Christmas.
Those are very flattering words, Mike and we certainly appreciate your interest. Wishing you and your clan a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Oh man what a great episode. I could feel the heat, smell the smoke, taste the venison, crunch the beans and taste the wine? All in all I was there with you. Thank you both. John Scotland 🏴
You know John, for a moment I believe I sensed your presence. Glad you liked this one.
Oh yes! Right?
Congratulations on the completion, and your first meal in Cedar Hollow. I’m envious of your hard work and what you’ve created for the rest of us to see, and enjoy through your eyes. Can’t wait to see what’s next for the channel. Thanks Peter for brining early 18th century back to life and sharing with us.
It has been our pleasure Doug. We have a lot of fun creating these peeks into the past.
Outstanding!
My gr-gr-gr grandfather made clay pipes in volume as well as Whiskey.
After coming here from Ireland, his first land purchase was made with clay pipes, taxed Whiskey, four fitted hogs and one hundred dollars.
I can imagine him telling the story to his grandchildren with them asking "Where did you get a hundred dollars?" with him replying in his Irish brogue "Untaxed Whiskey."
That is a mighty fine looking meal.
What a wonderful story.
I love your videos, I try to watch one or two a day, and my I say this is the first time I've seen your wife or I hope I'm right, but you're a lucky man, she is Beautiful. I mean now offence if she isn't. But I love your work and your way of life. I'm 65 years old with many heart problems now and disabled, but had I the chance to do it all over again I do think that I would try to live somewhat like you. We live in Rincon Georgia just 30 miles from Savannah Georgia, we were born here but it's gets so hot and the mosquitoes are unbearable. We would live much farther north in the mountains somewhere. I'm dreaming and typing again, bad habits. Ya'll have a wonderful life and I'll continue to enjoy your videos, thanks David
Sorry David about your health issues. I can live with a whole lot of cold before I could not live with the humidity you get down there. That is indeed my wife Cathy and the peso who works her magic on the smart end of the camera. We appreciate your interest and support.
Beautiful job on that fireplace and most everything else. Bravo folks
I have a huge smile while I'm watching you and your very lovely wife christening the cabin with your first meal. It's been wonderful watching you complete and enjoy the fruits of your art. I am excited to see what comes next!
It has us smiling a wee bit too!
Peter and Cathy I truly am happy for you both on such a wonderful place to share an amazing meal. I hope that the grandchildren soak up all of your knowledge so that they can pass it on. Peter reminds me so much of my father and his love for history. Your knowledge and skills are amazing thank you both for sharing.
Such flattering comments Rathaven, thank you.
Peter you and cathy are true pioneers love yall
That is a fine compliment, Darrell, thank you.

The Hat at the table is the Best!
No silly Rules in your Gorgeous Home.
Love and Hugs to you both👨🌾👩🌾🌹
This warms my heart. Thank you.
The real Life! Lovely people!
Beautiful cabin & beautiful people ... enjoy your home.
Thanks Michael.
Great visual after talking about the history of tobacco , the buzzards swiling around !!
Just came across this channel, and wanted to let the YT algorithms know that I enjoy this content ;) How lovely and wholesome is this!? ♥
Thanks so much for your support and we are glad you’re enjoying.
I am so glad I found y'all and I look forward to all of the wonderful videos ahead. :)
I'm thankful Cathy and Peter make one concession to the modern world and video their experiences.
Squire you and your wife must be super proud of your achievement , God bless you both
You mentioned your garden. I hope that you will consider doing a series of videos on vegetable gardening from this time period. I would love to learn more about what was grown in the home garden then and the techniques used, tools, trellising, etc. : )
True happiness ... thank you for sharing, all of it, needed to see some good in the world.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job. Nothing better then living and being in touch with nature.
You guys have one an incredible thing. I love that you made this as if you stepped back in time. Appreciate your passion for history.
Sounds like you too share the passion.
I can but only imagine,
A very fine feeling sitting in front of your own built fireplace lit for the first time.
Top shelf all the way!
You guys should do an episode with "Towsend and sons" (aka Towsends)
you both share your passion for the historically accurate old-days lifestyle revival
it would be amazing!
That is a fine compliment Marc, thank you.
This channel is just to cool. Love it.
Enjoyed this video! You are ahead of the curve my friend. I have a feeling we may all be living this way soon.
You may very well be right but, I hope not, as it is a tough way to survive.
@@TheWoodlandEscape 100% agree
Your living my dream🙏
Peter, Try some longer logs that fit the fireplace and see the difference. We would like to see the Miss's reaction to her new cabin! Regards, Mary & Rick
All cut but, I need to use up last years wood first.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Figured as much, seems to draw nicely. Do you damper it back once the fire is roaring? Did you see my directions for forging a chicken catcher?
Great show. Good luck. ✌️👊
That gets into the story of the Wonk, the Twok and the Threek Which came before the common FORK!! Long story! BUT, they ALL work in one way or another! As a Blacksmith, although retired because I have become disabled, I have made each of them!
Lovely Cabin build! Wish I was still in shape to build a cabin! I think I'd have a very hard tome to do it by myself, now!
Best wishes to the two of you!
A good pioneer wouldn't wear his hat at the table! haha Nice job!
Beautiful!
Watching you hammer in that hook you forged made me think that my daughter (age 5) could really use a hook in her tree house to hang up her basket of drawing chalks, to keep them out of the rain, so I paused the video and went and did it. When she found her chalks hanging on her new hook, she was overjoyed! She ran around the garden cheering and then announced that I was the ‘Bestest daddy in all the galaxies’. So, thanks for that! 🤗 cheers for inspiring me to be a better dad! It must be nice to know you’re having a positive impact on people’s lives, thousands of miles away!
I,m flattered with your comments Rob and truly appreciate your interest in our channel.
My grandparents immigrated from England in late 1800's. We were taught to hold our fork in our right hand and knife in our left, I noticed you were holding your eating utensils like that. I believe it's called continental style. Great video!!!
Thank you. I didn’t know that.
You two remind me so much of my uncle Bill and aunt Mary. Bill literally found a spot in the woods of middle Michigan, squared on it and build a one room cabin out of scrap wood he scrounge for town. They had a great garden a pump well he dug and an outhouse. Very seldom did he go into town, just to buy Flour, sugar, salt, rolling papers and tobacco. He used to say " if I can't hunt for it, fish for it or grow it, I don't need it.
I wished he would have lived long enough for me to get some years on and learn stuff from him.
Bless you, your home and all that live there....
Thank you so much for the kind words. Your aunt and uncle sound like my kinda people.
What a romantic picture - sitting by the fireplace, cooking the meal - I love it!
Just wonderful. Thank you.
Next to a good man, is a good woman. You Peter, are a great provider and craftsman, and Catherine is a great supporter of what you do. You compliment each other, and have achieved more than most could only dream of. I've followed this build from day one, and I do not think you could have done what you have done without the support of your lovely wife and the persistence of Shane behind the scenes. I congratulate all of you! You deserve a celebratory meal for your hard work!
Thank you for sharing this awesome adventure, and I can not wait for the next one! Cheers my friend!
Thank you. Not only is Catherine supportive but, she is the artist on the smart side of the camera.
Hello you bring a lot of joy to a family member of mine, recently got out of the hospital for two surgeries one was a major artery, he finds you interesting and loves watching your cabin videos.
Blessings 🙏🏼
That is so nice to hear! I hope your love one has a speedy and full recovery.
Love your videos, you are very gifted
Thanks for your kind compliment.
as I get older I an starting to think this is the real way to live. respect and regards from the UK :)
Thanks Darren.
You were great in Kill Bill. Love your new stuff.
your opening, sitting by the fire and your dinner at the table makes it all worth it,thanks Pete,Cathy and company ,take care all
Thank you Bob.
@@TheWoodlandEscapeHi Pete Bob here, back in time were the old kentucky rifles blued or did the guys just oil the barrel, thanks for the help. Im going to order a put together kit and really didnt want to blue the barrel, take care be safe and thanks
A quote my late aunt often used: "I eat my peas with honey, I've done it all my life. It makes my peas taste funny, but it keeps them on my knife."
Too funny … hanks for sharing!
I love that!
Grandmas are great for quotes like that. LOL.
I absolutely LOVE that cabinet with the wooden hinges! OMG. I'd love to learn how to make one.
Sitting here smoking a pipe with a bowl of tobacco right now. Enjoying an english style with some smokey latakia in it.
A nice peaceful pipe smoke is pretty hard t beat!
Thank you for the vacation back to 1760. It was a great vacation.
Lovely to see Cathy. You're a lucky man😁
I am indeed Al.
That’s the life I wanted❤️😎
Love your cabin and fireplace .
Thank you, Jacqueline.
Love your cabin. Leif Erikson discovered North America in 1000 AD. So Christopher Columbus was about 500 years late. But I suppose he did establish trade with the indigenous people. My family were here in the 1600s. Richard Bell was at the Jamestown Colony. We are English, Irish, and Scottish plus,we have a few Cherokee and Choctaw members of our family as well.
It is wonderful when you can trace your roots back that far. Thanks for sharing your story.
Love the milk paint colors! Wish I was still in good shape enough to build a cabin like this! 25 years ago, I would have been able to do this! Unfortunately, not now!
I FEEL YOUR PAIN BROTHER.
Thanks for sharing your first meal with us.
Cheers to you both! You sure look like you're enjoying that first meal! And nice to see Cathy out from behind the camera.
Waiting for that visit Al and we will cook you up some fine fare.
Gosh, that meal looked pleasant ! 🇨🇦🍁
Taking Dinner reservations??? Fun video.
It has come a long way very well deserved!
Great video. I love this channel. I hope you talk more about forks, they are fascinating!
I’m so happy fer you and Ms Kathy looked like a wonderful first dinner , and your right about the knife with peas my great grandma ate them that way they would use there thumb to push them on then scarf them down ☕️🤠🤙🏼🔥☀️ Enjoy my friend
This guy is truly living the dream. Cheers, man.
old is gold man and he
gets inspired daily by his beautiful wife reveled secret.
Just found your channel,, first fire and now first dinner. Gotta comment on how beautiful the whole cabin is,, WoW. And the soft orange glow of candles light reflected off the yellow logs, and that fire place,, the white inner brick just bright orange glow reflection !
Bet it’s even more special at night…
Awesomeness right there
Thank you Sir.
It looks great, congratulations to you both. One small gripe, men did not wear hats at the table LOL
That is so true Sherri, I must seriously work on my manners.
@@TheWoodlandEscape , nah, I am just an old nag, but my parents drilled manners into me. You have a great series, Thanks!!
A fine pair indeed
All the flammable materials are placed next to the fireplace lol. The stack of firewood, the tobacco, the gun which contains gunpowder(I know it's doesn't have black powder in it at the moment), the broom.
Indeed but, it is a small cabin. Bottom line, the entire thing is flammable just as it would have been for our ancestors.
A deserved meal for both of you 👍🇵🇭
Dreamy.
Cheers! Everything looks good! Next project building the 18th-century style-star fortress!
Who knows???
VERY NICE CABIN 👌
Thanks David.
