This episode was very enjoyable to film. Putting oneself back into the 1880's is definitely a game changer. Nothing happens very quickly and you realize that the slower pace of life back then was one of the things that made the Camping Experience so enjoyable. Using vintage gear forces you to slow down. It is a great experience and vastly different than our modern sil-nylon, freeze-dried wilderness trips. Thank you so much for watching and make sure and leave your comments in the section below. And, if you haven't done so already, please subscribe to the channel, we'd really appreciate it! Also, stay tuned for Part 4 - 1880's Camping Series - The Hunt.
I totally agree. So much of the experience is lost these days because of the hurry everyone is always in a hurry to get back home or to get back to work. I myself was caught by this just the other day.
Love the serie. You can do a modern one A 2024 edition . What you can replace with . My self use the phone for a mirror. And use a Philips battery (aa replace ment) shavers. Usb solar battery pack . Still have windstorm Lantern on yes a candle . (I have this one from 2005 new) It works on thea Light candle .) Just something to think about .
great to see you using gear from that era and yes you are right it does take more time for everything. these days we all seem to be in a hurry to boil water with gas stoves. bygone times are something to envy for sure. a nice peaceful slow pace. great series Sir
I'm so thankful these 1880s videos from 4 years ago have started popping up on my feed. They are so nice & relaxing to watch / listen to. Have you ever thought of contacting the Silver Dollar City 1880s theme park in Branson, MO? I bet people would love to see you do your camping & survival demonstrations there.
My dad had an old shaving mug and brush. He also used a straight razor and sharpened it on an old leather strap. Memories. Did I ever mention that he was born 1917 and fought in WWII? He was 87 when he passed away in 2003.
Man, that was great and interesting to watch : thank you for doing and sharing this video ! Putting everything into context like that, you realize how it really was to camping, especially when comparing to all the bushcraft videos using modern equipment.
My barber dips the razor blade in hot water to help raise the hairs especially on the neck, maybe its in my head but it feels like a smoother shave and less razor burn.
Again, I am familiar with a lot of what you did and the things you used, down to the wooden toothbrush and the canteen half you used for a plate to cook your bread. Never tried a straight razor, but did shave in the field with an old safety razor. Usually for breakfast we had hardtack and bacon. Hardtack fried in bacon grease wasn’t bad. I liked your straw mattress. I usually threw my gum blanket over some straw and slept on it with two wool blankets Another good video that brought back memories.
Holy shit.... this was absolutely fantastic. U kept pulling stuff out. Amazing how u can make yourself comfortable n at home with the right stuff n the knowledge. So entertaining. I'm at a loss for words. Beyond well done.
I was right about the shelf . Forgot how much I enjoyed this series. Ready for the next installment of your current series. Thanks again for the fine work
Detail of how it was is very eye opening. Things we may take for granted just put a perspective I did not realize. A Bush-crafter in the UK said he keeps any loose cordage or shoestrings in a little bag; it reminded me when you tied the Tri-pod.
This was a good series of videos of camping in the 1880's. I did notice though that your flower was in a ziplock plastic bag and your gun was a modern version of a Hawkin rifle. In the 1880's they didn't have the modern sights that is on the gun you were using. All in all a good series.
I was surprised to see you brush your teeth with a toothbrush and soda. I don’t know when they were invented but I thought they were more of a modern product ( post 1900) as I saw Gary Cooper using a toothbrush and tooth powder in The Pride of the Yankees. And that was back in the twenties and thirties. I guess some things didn’t change that much in 40 years. Great series! Learning much.
Toothbrushes were definitely around in the 1880s. They didn't take on the configuration that we know today until around 1938 but they did have them. Thank you for watching!
Now with what you just did with that wax a lot of people wouldn't understand it so I'm going to mention it put wax on the blade helps to keep it from binding up as you're cutting lot of people don't know that but there are some people out there that do know that I just happen to be one of them that's one thing my dad taught me about saws especially Buck saws.
NO Glamping back then. But still better than a big dirty city. That is one big bag of grass that the authorities would be okay with ; ) I like the sepia tone..
I'm Carlos from SPAIN. Beautiful video. Mi question for you is, the lantern that you are using in the video which is?.. Its different than other that I've seen. Again, many thanks for your videos. They are very helpful.
Just subscribed to you. Good show, though after your eighteenth century kit I don’t know why you would want to mess with all that modern gear😁 Good looking kit👍
Also where do you source these products like the shaving cream and toothpaste ect? How do you clean out the suds from the shaving cream once you use it the first time? Great series although I definitely prefer the narration in the latest series, however still very informative and interesting.
The toothpaste is just baking soda and the shaving cream you can buy online, just look for a set that comes in a wooden box like this one: www.amazon.com/Kingsley-Shave-Soap-Bowl-Dark/dp/B0018OVL4G/ref=sr_1_21?dchild=1&keywords=shaving+soap+wooden+box&qid=1622734685&sr=8-21 You don't clean out the suds you just let them dry. Thank you for watching and glad you like the new series!
You should do a video on making your pemican that would be a nice video be just another one of those videos out there that people make pemmicken but I've noticed that everybody makes it a different way to some extent
Funny thing is I wash it when it first came out and I’m watching them again and funny thing is well maybe not funny is this is gonna be the future but at least he’s teaching us it might not be that bad if we pay attention to his words
I would think that only the very poor or die hard “old school” folks of the time would be using cap and ball front loaders well into the metallic cartridge era. Win 1873 rifles, breach loading shotguns, Springfield trap doors, Colt/Remington Single Action revolvers, among others were common at that time. Also having the advantage of commonality of ammo between rifle and pistol would have been very recognized and utilized. If I were of that error, I would do whatever it took (saved every penny if need be) to take advantage of the “modern ballistic technology” of the day rather than stick with a muzzle loader. Just an observation. Take care.
Actually, they were in use on up into the early 1900s. Not everyone could afford to switch over to the cartridge type rifles. And many people used what they had.
Thank you. The pemmican is dried and powdered beef mixed with dried craisins with blueberry flavoring along with beef suet rendered down. All mixed in equal portions and allowed to cool.The flour mix for the trail bread or bannock is: 3 cups all-purpose flour, one teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1/4 cup of butter buds butter flakes. Add roughly 1 and 1/4 cups of water to the mix.
I will be demonstrating the recipes in two separate videos that should launch on the 1st of December on the old world alliance dot-com website under James Bender. It is a place where you can sign up for classes and learn from instructors without having to travel to their location.
It`s very hard not to look the camera in the eye on film shoots. Really nice video,but your beautiful four legged friend is missing. Perhaps i might see him, or her later? BB, from the UK
Yes it is. I keep wanting to make sure I'm in frame! Lol. And, I usually do look straight into the camera when I'm filming. And, Spirit is fine, he just didn't travel back to the 1880's with me... Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@pinklickpony7162 a gunny sack is a sack made of jute or other natural material like hemp that feed and other items were stored in, in the days before man made materials were used. You can find it for sale on Amazon and eBay still. They were usually 25, 50, and 100 lb bags smaller ones were available also.
You can tell you're not from the South .... Here, the first thing we'd have to do is dump the shoes and hit the bottom to be sure there weren't any scorpions or other undesirables that decided to camp out inside the shoe ... Had me smiling ;)
I have two questions, Mr. James Bender; What is the music you use in your sound tract, I'd like to get the CD, and did your sutler,( Blockade runner,) have Barlow knives for sale ? I haven't seen those since I lived in N. Carolina, and would really like to find them again. I suspect that the company has gone out of business, but they're too good not to be replicated by someone?
Actually, the music I used is all from the free music that TH-cam provides for creators to use. I spent a lot of time listening and picking the songs out. So glad you enjoyed them. I did not buy the Barlow from The Blockade Runner, I have owned it for quite a few years in my personal collection. I do believe that you can find many vintage Barlows on Ebay if you wish. Here is a link for a nice, old vintage Barlow: www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Estate-Barlow-Colonial-Pocket-Knife/362594271974?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item546c4d82e6:g:G54AAOSwcMhbmU3j&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACYBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%252Fn%252BzU5L90Z278x5ickkBSh1VzQSTzkTiSV5EE%252FHQTawqckhN0zSot4Ch546X27tYmPTK3t%252FMKDnIZiENrb7xDGpbqjk6zvPzasg47kywAIYvb2EO8%252BQqj856sRPXVm5mnuQhi%252F1QsFQBKKhmjkuqq3OntwyG4ixJaogSpoS4VDzZg1X079lV0whpBwP5RWP2Akl5NLk%252Ft8TYKhTlwENk4EPy6dbxVJvtxGhZFcFjABhoq0vgiP0Nkoj89aYvCN3q%252BW9%252BbAib3aj%252FI0gnx2W0QoBb3eHK%252Fux63xtDnWEa9yIySYm%252FNJWwZofnu2D3UwYe10j36xZQs9JdhZjh5hAX8L9Rw4PdOCfYr2f%252BBoBM1ZOzAxSiKDV%252Fr8BSnetBlLpOIn75EwySFzH1BAhTf0fgfEHcuj%252BYU5OPkoG0%252BsQ1XLP9Ol7yQafpg8%252F8YpUcGFmd6WMNwKKuov9ODq3EyzTFMOEXFe5CF8n0LYN7vBhRTU%252BzBIOXrFs0L%252BmCGbKMo8DLNGBwONiYXdPVMSFKm1Ql6Hb03ypEgFGRNw%252FDG5cMwNC24Ev%252B32f47Ku1nPBXCmYqSELXnuYFuhbs3zY2HJ%252FT0BByx4Zsl4o%252BnaGmuULNFBL4r8zSU1wruciVDSk15XcYVDNbSBBUVWKUNi8JMwupQ2%252Fv3NRuUhywe8s5my9F2Fo9sbvQl9oH3NH%252FRfhIhNzxDjJNvpl11XmDs0d0c9PVCWQgl6sfxEQmd4YTvwvbG6LnfP31KHMV0TR%252By5syz4RPW4Nvnt3%252BviXfIpgik4X%7Ccksum%3A362594271974c4ffe1d0709d439a9f25766c325ea3b9%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2334524
My sister and brother in law do 1840's Rendezvous camping. I sent them a copy of your 1880's camping video. It caused a stir as they realize with the improved camping technology my brother in law does not need a squaw to carry camp gear, gather firewood, cook and clean up. My sister is pissed she won't be going camping anymore. She is raising a ruckus about why her husband did not clean up and shave during the Rendezvous. I noticed the multiple uses for that red bandana. First to wash up. Then to wash dishes. In the last scene you walk off into the forest. I surmised you were looking for a private spot behind a bush to use the red bandana again.
It's Union Army reproduction shoes, pants and suspenders and jacket along with a linen shirt and simple felt hat. The Blockade Runner in Tennessee was my main source. They supply a lot of Civil War reenactment around the country.
Very nice, attention to detail shows in this video. I like the browse bed. I almost wish for some narration but it doesn't need it. Maybe some later videos where you explain what it is some of the things you use to those who might not know. Not everyone may know what pemmican is. Anyway just a thought as always a great video.
Thank you my friend! I do have other videos where I discuss pemmican and I will be putting out my own recipe on the old world alliance website on the 1st of December. I thought about doing narration but I'm trying to keep the ambience of the era intact.
@@WayPointSurvival Excellent, already subscribed to old world alliance look forward to it. I have thought of doing videos myself but not my skill area yet, my son and I have been talking about it. Still interested in classes with you next year. Thank you for sharing your work.
Brushed my teeth with baking soda and salt many a times. I hate strong minty toothpaste. Interesting tick bag. Mine I sewed the bottom and side closed. Velcro on top. Winter is okay. Summer has too many bugs and chiggers. I have a spray now to treat it with, I just don't use it very own anymore. My father and grandfather had straight razors, they hated them. Never taught me how to use them right.
Actually, the modern matches we use today were invented in the early 1880s, you just can't buy the strike anywhere matches anymore that are as good as the old Ohio Blue Tip. The ones you can buy don't ignite as well.
If you go back in my video archives, you will find a video on bannock or trail bread. In the description box there is listed the recipe. Thank you for watching and for your question!

💯👍🍺😎🇺🇸
i finished the 1790s series and now this one both are really good you have done a good job at doing historically accurate things
I totally agree.
So much of the experience is lost these days because of the hurry everyone is always in a hurry to get back home or to get back to work.
I myself was caught by this just the other day.
Love the serie.
You can do a modern one
A 2024 edition .
What you can replace with .
My self use the phone for a mirror.
And use a Philips battery (aa replace ment) shavers.
Usb solar battery pack .
Still have windstorm Lantern on yes a candle . (I have this one from 2005 new)
It works on thea Light candle .)
Just something to think about .
great to see you using gear from that era and yes you are right it does take more time for everything. these days we all seem to be in a hurry to boil water with gas stoves. bygone times are something to envy for sure. a nice peaceful slow pace. great series Sir

I know your hobo series is from a different time period, but I believe that would also be very much of interest to others as it has been to me.
Thanks so much for watching the videos, I'm glad that you enjoy them and thanks for the suggestions!
This is great. The re-enacting makes it better than just a history lesson.
Thanks so much!
My dad had an old shaving mug and brush. He also used a straight razor and sharpened it on an old leather strap. Memories. Did I ever mention that he was born 1917 and fought in WWII? He was 87 when he passed away in 2003.
Very cool! Those memories are indeed precious, I'm sure.
Im really enjoying the videos. I just finished binge watching the 1790 series. Very informative, relaxing and entertaining.
Glad you like them and thanks so much for watching the whole series!
What a great series. Love every minute of it, each part.
Thanks so much!
My son really liked thease as well he loves loves history and historical reenactment videos.
Awesome! I really do appreciate it, my friend!
wow...you got some real nice simple gear.
I have an addiction to making different kits for outdoor travel
Thank you so much!
Me too.
I find my old type scout kit to be my favourite so far. Simple is best.
This is such an awesome series. Good luck on the hunt. Keep up your great work and as always see you next week and have a great week
Thank you so much!
Man, that was great and interesting to watch : thank you for doing and sharing this video ! Putting everything into context like that, you realize how it really was to camping, especially when comparing to all the bushcraft videos using modern equipment.
Thank you so much! I'm working on another video series that will take us even farther back than that.
My barber dips the razor blade in hot water to help raise the hairs especially on the neck, maybe its in my head but it feels like a smoother shave and less razor burn.
Yes, good point. Thank you for watching and for the comment!
Though I was the only man that still prayed for his meals in my videos. But now I feel better to see you do it in you're videos
Yes, my faith is very important to me. Thank you for noticing.
Your not the only one

Thanks so much!
I was right about the shelf . Forgot how much I enjoyed this series. Ready for the next installment of your current series. Thanks again for the fine work
Thank you. Hopefully Episode 9 will be out in a couple of weeks.
My dad used a brush and shaving soap in a cup all my childhood.
Really interesting to see what life was like back in the 1800s. So many things we take for granted today.
True! Thank you for watching and commenting!
peaceful and a joy to watch your videos ,thanks God Bless
Thank you, brother! You too!
I look forward to watching the rest of the series you posted here, good work here!
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying them!

Calm and peace. I allways seek just that!
Absolutely!
Excellent video, good to see so much detail in everything..
Thank you for watching and glad you liked it!
Detail of how it was is very eye opening. Things we may take for granted just put a perspective I did not realize.
A Bush-crafter in the UK said he keeps any loose cordage or shoestrings in a little bag; it reminded me when you tied the Tri-pod.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed watching the episodes in this series.

This 1880's series is awesome. Makes you realize how different it really was back in those times.
Thank you so much!
That was daily living for a lot of folks back then. Great series.
Thank you!

I love watching men shave. This was particularly enjoyable
Thanks for watching.
Great series! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
I enjoyed it. That said, it reminds me of things my granddad told me about growing up in the 20's and 30's
Thanks!
Thanks for the series,congratulation my friend
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Even a prayer before breakfast... amazing.
I always try to be thankful for food. Thanks for noticing!
Great love it. Kick back. Take care.

Thank you, my friend!
WHAT......, No coffee with breakfast? Now that's "roughing it" ! LOL
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
JT
Thank you for watching!
I am glad you showed the grooming stuff. Too many folks have this idea that hygeine is a modern thing.
Indeed! Thank you for watching!
So awesome!
Thank you! So glad you are enjoying the series!
Very enjoyable!

Good one brother. I envy your editing skills. God Bless
Thank you Chief! The editing just takes a decent program and a lot of time. God bless you too!
I was afraid you were gonna shave your handle bars off. Enjoy the series, keep up the good work.
Thank you, I was being careful!
Very peaceful.
Thank you!
You should publish an 1800’s recipes cookbook. I would buy a copy. I’d love to learn how to cook some old recipes.
That would indeed be interesting. Thanks for watching for the suggestion.
Trevlig video ❤
Thanks so much!
Now with what you just did with that wax a lot of people wouldn't understand it so I'm going to mention it put wax on the blade helps to keep it from binding up as you're cutting lot of people don't know that but there are some people out there that do know that I just happen to be one of them that's one thing my dad taught me about saws especially Buck saws.
It works well.
I am going to remember that from now on.
On to the hunt!
Indeed!
Overall a great video
Thank you so much and thank you for watching and commenting!
This is really an amazing series to watch. I have enjoyed it. Will you go into acting next? Lol
Probably not... but I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make all these videos. You will be making more soon?
Thank you! I put up a new video every week. I don't know if I will be making any more of the 1880's series or not.
Would still love to see the early 1930s, 1940s hiker. Or maybe it's called a explorer. What did they call it back then? Lol
That would indeed be a fun series!
NO Glamping back then.
But still better than a big dirty city.
That is one big bag of grass that the authorities would be okay with ; )
I like the sepia tone..
Thank you my friend. The laws were different back then LOL! Still, it's just for sleeping...
Pretty much amazing 😉
Thank you so much!
I'm Carlos from SPAIN. Beautiful video. Mi question for you is, the lantern that you are using in the video which is?.. Its different than other that I've seen. Again, many thanks for your videos. They are very helpful.
Thank you! It's an American Civil War campaigner's lantern. www.blockaderunner.com/Catalog/catpg27a.html
Just subscribed to you. Good show, though after your eighteenth century kit I don’t know why you would want to mess with all that modern gear😁
Good looking kit👍
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Was ya gettin all gussied up fer the squirrels there, James? 😏
Did you watch the 4th episode?
Your own flower mix well at least it isn't hard tact looks good
It is pretty good.
You should try shaving with Sam Elliots Bowie knife from the Sacketts! :) (PS. No full tang is pretty much worthless). Looks very cool though.
Right! Outdoor knife is always best if it's full tang! Thank you.
I gotta try this, camping with 200ish year old gear would be fun
It is fun. While the gear is heavier, it's also much more durable than most modern gear. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Like those brogans, lol
Thanks!
What caliber is your Hawkins I used to have a 45 caliber it was a beautiful one too St Louis Thompson center Hawkins
It's a .50.
I love that candle lantern
Thank you. It can be found at Civil War Sutlerys where they sell gear to reenactors.
I wish my handlebar would stay that straight when I sleep, lol.
Right!
Lovin the trail you leave, wanderer. What’s that flour mix you use? Any baking powder?
Thank you. The recipe is in the first pinned comment of this video: th-cam.com/video/f_bUu9gwieY/w-d-xo.html
Also where do you source these products like the shaving cream and toothpaste ect? How do you clean out the suds from the shaving cream once you use it the first time? Great series although I definitely prefer the narration in the latest series, however still very informative and interesting.
The toothpaste is just baking soda and the shaving cream you can buy online, just look for a set that comes in a wooden box like this one: www.amazon.com/Kingsley-Shave-Soap-Bowl-Dark/dp/B0018OVL4G/ref=sr_1_21?dchild=1&keywords=shaving+soap+wooden+box&qid=1622734685&sr=8-21 You don't clean out the suds you just let them dry. Thank you for watching and glad you like the new series!
So nice! What's that stuff you put to cook with the potatoes?
That is homemade pemican. Thanks for watching and for your question!
You should do a video on making your pemican that would be a nice video be just another one of those videos out there that people make pemmicken but I've noticed that everybody makes it a different way to some extent
I did make a video on my pemmican, but it's behind a pay wall at the Old World Alliance.
Funny thing is I wash it when it first came out and I’m watching them again and funny thing is well maybe not funny is this is gonna be the future but at least he’s teaching us it might not be that bad if we pay attention to his words
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate your faithfulness to the channel and I'm glad that you're still enjoying these older videos!

Can you share you recipe for your Pemmican mix please? And was that just plain flour mixed with water? Thanks
Thank you. The pemmican is dried and powdered beef mixed with dried craisins with blueberry flavoring along with beef suet rendered down.

Add roughly 1 and 1/4 cups of water to the mix.
WayPoint Survival excellent, thanks so much. I’m keen to give this a try! Another great video 👌
You're welcome and thanks for your kind words!
Now there's one razor I could never get the hang of using a straight razor always too afraid of cutting my own throat
It definitely takes some practice.
would love to know your recipes , if you share or I can buy, thanks again
I will be demonstrating the recipes in two separate videos that should launch on the 1st of December on the old world alliance dot-com website under James Bender. It is a place where you can sign up for classes and learn from instructors without having to travel to their location.

Fun watching you city folk being so profligate with nails. When I was a kid we used gunny sacks for beds when camping.
Thank you for watching.
What is a gunny sack?
@@pinklickpony7162 a gunny sack is a sack made of jute or other natural material like hemp that feed and other items were stored in, in the days before man made materials were used. You can find it for sale on Amazon and eBay still. They were usually 25, 50, and 100 lb bags smaller ones were available also.
You can tell you're not from the South .... Here, the first thing we'd have to do is dump the shoes and hit the bottom to be sure there weren't any scorpions or other undesirables that decided to camp out inside the shoe ... Had me smiling ;)
It depends on how far south you are. I actually grew up in Tennessee but we didn't have any scorpions there.
I have two questions, Mr. James Bender; What is the music you use in your sound tract, I'd like to get the CD, and did your sutler,( Blockade runner,) have Barlow knives for sale ? I haven't seen those since I lived in N. Carolina, and would really like to find them again. I suspect that the company has gone out of business, but they're too good not to be replicated by someone?
Actually, the music I used is all from the free music that TH-cam provides for creators to use. I spent a lot of time listening and picking the songs out. So glad you enjoyed them. I did not buy the Barlow from The Blockade Runner, I have owned it for quite a few years in my personal collection. I do believe that you can find many vintage Barlows on Ebay if you wish. Here is a link for a nice, old vintage Barlow:

@@WayPointSurvival Thanks for the prompt, and informative reply, it is greatly appreciated..stay well & safe.
Nice video. Good pace. You did miss a spot when you shaved. Where is your strop?
Thank you. The strop is the back of my leather belt.
My sister and brother in law do 1840's Rendezvous camping. I sent them a copy of your 1880's camping video. It caused a stir as they realize with the improved camping technology my brother in law does not need a squaw to carry camp gear, gather firewood, cook and clean up. My sister is pissed she won't be going camping anymore. She is raising a ruckus about why her husband did not clean up and shave during the Rendezvous.
I noticed the multiple uses for that red bandana. First to wash up. Then to wash dishes. In the last scene you walk off into the forest. I surmised you were looking for a private spot behind a bush to use the red bandana again.
The outfit looks very 1780 instead of 1880. Where did you get your sources? Lot of things don’t look period correct
It's Union Army reproduction shoes, pants and suspenders and jacket along with a linen shirt and simple felt hat. The Blockade Runner in Tennessee was my main source. They supply a lot of Civil War reenactment around the country.
Very nice, attention to detail shows in this video. I like the browse bed. I almost wish for some narration but it doesn't need it. Maybe some later videos where you explain what it is some of the things you use to those who might not know. Not everyone may know what pemmican is. Anyway just a thought as always a great video.
Thank you my friend! I do have other videos where I discuss pemmican and I will be putting out my own recipe on the old world alliance website on the 1st of December. I thought about doing narration but I'm trying to keep the ambience of the era intact.
@@WayPointSurvival Excellent, already subscribed to old world alliance look forward to it. I have thought of doing videos myself but not my skill area yet, my son and I have been talking about it. Still interested in classes with you next year. Thank you for sharing your work.
I just uploaded my profile to the old world alliance site today.
Think about all grass seeds you could thresh out of that bed.
Quite a few I'm sure!
Brushed my teeth with baking soda and salt many a times. I hate strong minty toothpaste.
Interesting tick bag. Mine I sewed the bottom and side closed. Velcro on top. Winter is okay. Summer has too many bugs and chiggers. I have a spray now to treat it with, I just don't use it very own anymore. My father and grandfather had straight razors, they hated them. Never taught me how to use them right.
Thanks for watching the series. I really appreciate the views and all the kind comments!
Will we see any more long haul hikes with old gear this coming summer?
Possibly. I am continuing to film for the 1790s survival series. We are currently filming for episode 15.
What no jelly. ! ! !
Nope, just the basics...
Good old matches from back then I forgot what they call them but one of the names was Lucifer's
Actually, the modern matches we use today were invented in the early 1880s, you just can't buy the strike anywhere matches anymore that are as good as the old Ohio Blue Tip. The ones you can buy don't ignite as well.
@@WayPointSurvivalyeah, they don’t actually “strike anywhere” anymore. 😅
Secret recipes, or do you have videos for pemmican and flour mix?
I have never shared my recipe for pemmican but the flour mix is on my video called Bannock Survival Bread.
@@WayPointSurvival fair enough
Do the potatoes rehydrate the pemmican?
No, the suet/grease in the pemmican is what melts and gives you a really great dish.
Is sweet oil olive oil
Yes it is. Thank you for watching and for your question!
This playlist on 1800's camping by my friend Kenneth Kramm is worth watching.
th-cam.com/play/PL5xCFLr_6C1jo9rAAbwK0oTQSFfJsHD1F.html
I have watched his stuff. It is good.
Can you tell me how to make the bread you had in your video thanks
If you go back in my video archives, you will find a video on bannock or trail bread. In the description box there is listed the recipe. Thank you for watching and for your question!
@@WayPointSurvival thank you very much
You're welcome!
I have found your video on the bread thank you I hope to make some soon thank you again.
Excellent. Glad you were able to locate it.
Can you use lard or crisco when making pemmican?
The best is rendered suet. You can use lard but it isn't recommended because of the risk of trichinosis. You can also use Crisco, coconut oil or ghee.
@@WayPointSurvival ok thanks
Hope you don't mind a other question. What's the ratio 1 cup of beef jerky dehydrated fruit plus one cup of melted crisco?
One cup of each with enough melted Crisco to make a wet consistency. Then let it cool.
@@WayPointSurvival thank you sir
Molto interessante, ma mi sembra inverosimile che un duomo dei boschi avesse tanta cura dell'igiene.
No critters were injured in making of this video lol
It's true! Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!
