Cement blocks were first used in the United States in 1837.

Masterpiece

Primitive/Backcountry hunters will use a manual rolling game cart, a travois or will even field dress and pack the deer, to get deer out of the Birkhead area. It gets them away from the "drive up" hunters who crowd the regular spots and gets them a chance at the deer who avoid the habitated areas. There are fewer of these types of hunters, but those few who are willing to put in the much greater physical work have a selection of game that no one else has.

Great video 📷

First barn is not a tobacco barn, it’s got stalls, run ins, feed mangers and a flat 2nd story to store hay. Tobacco barns are about 4 stories tall and all open, with hundreds of horizontal poles to hang several levels of green tobacco from. You see evidence of a horse drawn plow, etc., the barn was to house the farms the animals and store their feed, etc. Barm two has the poles, it’s the tobacco barn.

Locust season

the old barn is where you dried the tobacco....

Cicadas or locusts

the Oak tree is magnificent !!!!

Is that poison ivy on the tree? Sure is. I know that chit! It loves me! I don't love it!

Falls lake is a state park. And if this is on the park, then the trails are marked. You apparently ain't on the suggested marked trail. Blue or yellow will be the trail markers you're looking for. The green barn, inside the the racks used to hold fresh tobacco leaves. Then they would dry roast the leaves to be sold at the local vender

There are also 17 year locusts

Looks like Sasquatch has been in that area do you know of any sightings?

Fun video, one thing I noticed is there isn’t an empty beer can or bottle in sight.

Yep, it's cicadas, I myself recently heard this same noise, like a spaceship or something, and everybody told me it was cicadas, and I didn't believe them. But it's true. It's kinda creepy.

interesting hike thanks for sharing

Nice review, have you used the tarp in the rain? Any durability concerns after using it?

The sign said they relocated all the graves and, i would assume, any headstones. It tells you on the sign where these graves are now interned.

That dog sure looked like he was having fun. Beautiful place you access to there!

What does that app do? The only one I use is OnX

Any clue why it was abandoned?

This was a really cool vid!

Saw your post on randonautica and I decided to sub, ur location looked interesting

I found you on randonautica! Im interested in doing the same thing you are, but wont be able to for a few months. Thanks for sharing and i cant wait for more adventures :)!

As for that tree I've seen one bigger six men couldn't reach around it

Chicken house 🏠 and brooders was hooked to gas tank that looked to be a 500 head house they had chic feed delivered and fed it by feed sacks poured into feeders it wasent an easy time water pulled up from well I saw horse pig and cow areas and hay storage this may have Ben after civil war and a slave graveyard it was probably black owned prop

Esas maderas están muy bien conservadas tiene potencial para restaurar

I love history, tfs.

Hope you wash your dog too

Tobacco barn, the brackets you called rafters actually accommodated the hanging of the tobacco leaves. Leaves were attached to sticks...maybe 1"x1" wooden slats, for lack of better words, and then hung to dry/cure. If you notice, there appeared to be what was once a "furnace"/fireplace to introduce heat to help the tobacco cure. My Poppy cultivated over 700 acres of prime cigarette tobacco in Forsyth county, and he called those buildings "baccker barns". Regardless of what folks think of tobacco and it's impact, NC grew the best cigarette tobacco on the planet. Tobacco $ money built the State of NC, paved it's roads, built it's schools, churches and families and helped NC evolve into what it is today. Unfortunately tobacco has been so vilified that even my home state of NC has essentially turned it's back on the industry, the industry that sustained NC for generations.

The earliest known use of cinder blocks dates back to 1900, when Harmon S. Palmer invented a machine that could produce concrete blocks.

Poison ivy aka the learning tree is pain and death wild turkeys is good eating turkey and dressing mashed potatoes gravy biscuits cranberry sauce sweet potato pie glass of sweet tea ps oh I hate snakes and rats look like plenty of them would be in that old place and the woods really old structure put boe on a leash so he doesn't get lost are getting snake bitten

The cinder blocks could be 100yrs old. If not older.

where is this? I literally live 2 seconds from Falls lake!!

They used cender blocks in 1837 on a house on Staten island NY.

I would not expect there to be grave stones. Likely just field stone markers and indentions remain.

My dog is so jealous of your dog right now.

Beautiful tree ? Creepy tree

The building with block walls that had the big metal things laying there was probably a chicken house. When the chicks hatch they would get under the metal thing to stay warm because it was heated. The chickens were raised to sell for meat

Beautiful forest!

Sorry the second building is tobacco barn

Plow from the 20's

Not a tobacco barn. Livestock with hay storage.
