Fort Wayne! Yes, these items were traded to the Indians very regularly. In fact, in my Grandpa's shop were many of the items you spoke of. We are from the Miami Indians and our people were from just about 5 miles north of Ft. Wayne. I still have an old pocket knife that was used as trading stock. It looks like a flint striker with a blade folded into the handle. Thanks for this video! I will share it with others here that will enjoy the history.
thanks dave ..being a native hoosier that has been to the old fort which at the time was called Kekionga (land of rasberries) by the miami and shawnee. i really appreciate the effort you put p into that video.being a primitive living skills instructor myself i have a new found respect.cheers!!:)
I have had fun looking at the inventory from the Lewis and Clark journals, really similar stocks. I am from Oregon so I love the history of the opening of the west.
Hi Dave, Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time and effort to make your video series. I think they are insightful, completely rivetting and a fantastic teaching tool along with your excellent manner. Dont apologise for wearing glasses even you are not superhuman (although not far off it). Please keep them coming. Regards from the UK!
Thanks man, it's been bugging me for a while now. It's must be great to have your own song, keep up the good work and all the best to you and your family.
Checkout "Coops (Melbourne Central) Shot Tower" Preserved inside a shopping mall in Melbourne Australia. 50m high, "The tower produced six tonnes of shot weekly up until 1961" Apparently from that height they get a sphere to form and the shot is cooled solid enough by the time it hits the water.
I like your basket arrow quiver. Did you make it yourself if so is there a video on the construction techniques? I need a new quiver and came up with the bright idea of making a basket style like yours then found out that everyone else already has one and I thought that mine would be unique! Oh well I still need a quiver so I am going ahead with making one.
Lovin' these videos. I missed a lot of the Journal of the Yurt -videos as I subscribed not too long ago but I plan to watch all these Tipi-videos as long as you're going to be making them. Keep up the good work! :)
Dave have you ever checked out Richard Graves' bush craft books You cant get his older books are at least i have not been able to find any.and most of his stuff is all on the computer.
hello Dave interesting video about the old days. just one question, would the small axe not prove safer than the tomahawk due to the fixed head, the pickaxe style of the tomahawk looks very easy to turn in use, is this the case as i have never used one though they look very usefull.
Proof that who we are , is who we always have been and only our wisdom of the past will give us and our children a future to speak of , vigilance people , we must always stand the watch , in this we do not lose ourselves !!!
hey dave great video i love the ideas and the advice but i just wished i lived in america so i could go to your pathfinder school and learn so much more about the pathfinder system and wilderness survival and self reliance but till then keep up the good work dave
from the studying I've been doing lately It appears that they did not carry char cloth in the wild and relied on charred wood and other charred natural materials .. they mainly used char cloth in the home and would have considered it an unnecessary luxury to use that resource on journeys. also seems it never was charred in a tin but rather over a fire. can't find when a charr tin came into use this is only what I've found out so far on my own... I would like to find more info still or input.
Awesome Dave, love your mixture of videos. Can't wait to see you at an Advanced Class sometime soon. Really mad the gathering didn't work out this year for me, school got in the way. Have you been sleeping in the tipi these past few days as well or have you just been practicing skills? Thanks as always.
Great video. It's awesome that you back up what you teach with historical evidence. Some days don't you wish for simpler lives. Really looking forward to a wrap up of the SAN shopping spree challenge, is that coming soon??
For me personal, i´m very happy to live these Days and i thank my Ancestors on my knees, that we are able to do so. Just think about the whole Field of Medical Help you can get these Days...
Hey Dave, great video. I was curious, where do you normally do your research? Do you find these journals on the internet or a library? I would love to read some of the journals and such that you talked about in your video. Thanks for the info and awesome vids.
He's said it before in other videos, but all he says is Pendleton wool hat. Other comments and some searching lead me to believe it is the outback hat with a 2 7/8" brim. Actually one of the two hats I've been looking into for the last month or so. He does make it look good though lol.
Doesn't seem like you respond but I just stumbled onto your videos and having been raised in the city my whole life I find your channel very interesting...would love to have the opportunity to live it...also I understand your necklace...John 3:16
I personally think that this document proves that means of catching food was much more important than most other items. You know why? Because they had the knowledge to be able to utilize their rifle or make a bowdrill to create fire and they didn't need a bunch of equipment to effect their self reliance. I think you should add a c in your lineup that stands for" calories". A takedown bow with takedown arrows or maybe a fishing kit.
I as a kid created shots by pouring molten lead into water. They were rarely rounded, usually they were somewhat of a torpedo shape. I think pouring from height was better. Maybe pouring trough colanderized heated tin can with little holes will do as well.
same here. I carry glasses on my face and a spare pair of lenses in my pack. If I lose my glasses I can whittle some frames up pretty easily. This might not work for a far-sighted person who can't see up close, but it will work for me. thumbs up
@liquidxskin19 I'm cerainly not trying to be an expert here, but from what I can gather, the only difference between a hatchet and a belt axe is size. With the belt axe being smaller and ligter. I have a belt axe made by wetterlings and cant recommend it enough. Great little tool
jewelry boobles combs mirrors, "comfort items" were trade items for the Natives, most of those fur trade inventory lists were trade item lists for the Indians, I believe little inventory went to for personal use, including the cloth.
my dad told me that the Indians would look to the animals for food a lot of times. for instance, if they saw a deer eating a certain plant, they would eat that plant also, if animals wouldn't touch a type of berry, they wouldn't either. anyone care to speculate?

Always a joy and knowledgable watch on ya Dave
Dave the more things change the more they really stay the same. Thanks for the video man.

Very interesting, thanks for passing this on to us. I love to hear about the old ways! The items may change but the principal remains the same.

Great video Dave, very interesting stuff. Liking this series big time.

+1 for "spectacles". Stay classy sir,and please keep sharing your knowledge.

Great info, and research is a very important tool, awsome vid too.
Historical evidence that you are a amazing role model, every one and their mother is saying "brother".
Dave, you look like a frontier preacher man. I dig it:)
Great video friend, keep'em coming

Some of the other stuff on their log were probably things they traded to the natives. Good stuff. Thanks Dave.
Nice coat. Is it in the Pathfinder Store?
...cool, great points and history. Thank you!
I have a feeling a whole lot of your fans will be buying that album .... Hopefully the band is graceous enough to make a TH-cam version :)
Are the yurt and tipi comparable as year round shelters?
Always wondered if pouring your shot thru a metal sift would do the trick. Current shot molds work in somewhat the same way.

I'm trying to get into reenactment. Where does your friend participate in his reenactments?
Excellent, thank you sir for another history lesson.

when are you going to do dual survivor?
great work dave !
I've seen them on Cabelas website.
Dave are you done with Diary of the Yurt now?
Would you say that a Tomahawk would be more suitable for use as a weapon, instead of a tool?
This has probably been answered somewhere else, but what song is that in the intro?
great vid !! and great ramblings !
Really enjoyed this video dav
Dave what is the pouch you have your journal in?
Thanks Dave!
Drop shot is historically accurate. I am trying to figure out how to make some for my NW trade gun. Hey there is a video idea!
what is the difference between a hatchet and belt axe?
I as a kid created shots by pouring molten lead into water. They were rarely rounded, usually they were somewhat of a torpedo shape. I think pouring from height was better. Maybe pouring trough colanderized heated tin can with little holes will do as well.
Really great information!

What are the names of these journals?
Excellent. I love to hear about the american history
cool Dave, thanks.
Very interesting.
I appreciate the research
Pendleton "Indy" wool hat. About $60 or cheaper online.
great video
I too am Miami Indian, related to Chief Little Turtle infact.
It's how you have become both; Technically and Tactical Proficient.

Containers Combustion Cover Cordage Cutting - essentials
Constitution - Priceless.

Mirrors, combs, beads, liquor, was often carried because Indian womenfolk valued mirrors with ornate handles.
