I love the 18th and 19th century era. This was well made. Thanks for the video.
I don’t know if you even get these comments but I miss your videos. I don’t know if you burned out or what but man I wish you still did it I learned more from you than just about anyone else. Thanks for what you did.
I get them when YT actually tells me about them, I'm trying to get back into it, but with training hunting dogs it takes a lot of time. I appreciate the kind words I have put up some shorts so keep checking and hit the notifications. Also follow my Instagram for more content. Thanks!
I live not to far from prickets fort and have been there several times. It's very interesting and full of history about the local area and how the settlers once lived. Thanks for sharing some of that history. Great vid!
You're welcome glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely FANTASTIC Educational Video ;-)) Thank you for all this rich history !! Cheers ;-))
Great glad you liked it much more coming feel free to share if you would like too!
Looks like something I will have to try. Thanks for all of the wonderful information.
You're welcome Marlowe!
Pretty cool, I found this very interesting, thanks for showing us! I'm gonna have to give this a try.
Cool glad you liked it!
I got the materials together to try this when I saw Steve's video. Now, having seen yours as well, I may work up the courage to start it. Thanks a bunch, Brian!!!
Awesome good luck bro!
This is nuts i like only a few miles away and i was looking for longhunter info and this came up. Its great to see knowledge from the fort getting around
That it is man!
Man I sure would like to see some more videos like this!
Well if people would stop stealing my video footage and copying my work without giving me credit maybe I would Steve
Great video, thank you.
Thanks very much
Great video. I've seen the tumpline but never saw it made. I'll look up Steve's video and give it a try. Thanks. atb
Why you couldn't figure out making it from mine? lol haha
Excellent Video Brian. Absolutely enjoyed it, I will be looking up Critters video's on the Loom and weaving the Jute twine into a tumpline, You peaked my Imagination on this one bro, I really gotta try this one.
Great glad it has, you can easily watch either one and be successful!
thanks Brian.
Galen Long Sure thing good luck with your project
Bro.....I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm a huge fan. The quality of your videos, the information, the skills and the presentation of which they are given is absolutely outstanding. I honestly don't know why you don't have a lot more subscribers. Amongst a few others I am going to continue to promote your Channel. I think that it is well deserved! God bless bro!
Thank you my friend Steve, it's much appreciated!
great video, Brian!
Thanks bro!
Thanks you for sharing with us how this is made. I really enjoyed it, and perhaps one day, I'll make my own too. :)
Cool I hope ya do, if not and you want one i do make them for purchase
Loved this video Boss, very informative on the tumpline. i'd love to give it a go at making one but i don't think i'd have the skill! Also, if you did make a tumpline using jute cordage, would it be essential that you have a looming wheel or could you just do it by finger weaving? Really looking forward to your next video, Cheers, Jack
Jack not sure I understand "looming wheel" you could actually twine the center strap if you chose or I suppose you could finger weave the whole thing however it would be all one width.
Very intresting great video.....you' ve been gone a long while..welcome back brother : )
From this series yes but I have been around!
Used to use a tumpline to carry cedar canvas canoes using the paddles to help rig it. Worked great.
That they do as well as pulling a toboggan sled and as a deer drag!
Awesome video! Your instructions sparked a whole new interest for me. Would you feel comfortable using your trump line to carry heavier loads? Have you constructed something like a rucksack using the jute twine, or can it be done using jute twine itself? This is my first of many shadows of the forest videos, keep up the good work! I'll definitely visit pricketts fort as well sometime.
What thickness twine would you recommend for constructing a tumpline?
TheEOGeek Hey bro you could use 3 ply it should work for you it does for me. No ruck sacks out of twine for me bro lol
After watching this again, Brian. I'd call this false twining. As you said on the chat Wednesday, it's not the method that was actually used during the period. Definitely going to give this a shot and using true twinging. :)
Still can't figure out the chevron weave though.
Northern Woodsman Good luck with that bro, you may get about an inch per5 hrs. of work...whoa lol!
Snowalker13 I've tried a quiver with true twining. It does take time but it's worth it in the end.
Northern Woodsman absolutely
Very nice brother.
Thanks bro!
Thanks for this, Brian! Can you tell me how I decide how long (total length) I need my tumpline to be?
Not really you need to decide what you need. I make mine long enough for reasons of use. That is my intended use thereof
What kind of string would they usually use for their garters? Great Video!
Wool, leather, fabric, blanket strips whatever they had on hand, yhanks
+Snowalker13 another Outstanding video Brian. And I know that Nick post would love to go to School of The Long Hunter. He's got a great TH-cam channel and I would love for him to be able to go some day. God bless
I would love to try this project. I was wondering if you could put the measurements on the loom you made, i.e. how long is it and what size dowels did you use. Thanks for the wonderful information.
3/4 " dowels, and scrap lumber I had lying around it's about 2.5 ' long and 4 " wide good luck!
This is fascinating! Your next stop: inkle weaving! It's very similar to this, but allows for more patterns in the weft. Thank you for all your excellent videos. Very informative, and give a great appreciation for all the demanding, fierce work of the men and women who shaped our country. Bravo.
Thanks very much for watching, I don't know if the Inkle loom will work with the twine center section though? It may still offer a great option!
Snowalker13 I don't believe it will. Primarily this section is short and meant to have the yarn advance quickly. It's a different tool for different projects. Fun nonetheless. If you want a tool that could do both inkle style weaving (card weaving, too for that matter) and tumpline, look at back straps. You could add either cards or a rigid heddle to make it a weaving tool. All of this is probably more detailed than you're interested in, but it seems like old tools may interest you, even if you don't end up using them.
Way over my head have to do some research sounds hard for a common Longhunter such as me LOL!
You're far from common. And I doubt there's much interest or time in the fiber arts for you, which makes sense. I was just surprised to see a craft like this on your channel. You did a great job!
Julianna Heiby Thank you, Old stuff does intrigue me tools and techniques as well time is always a factor cause I'm usually going at 15 directions at once kinda like an organized chaos! If you have any links please share if you can. Thanks again!
Wildwood Flower. Good tune, and good vid.
And West Virginia!! Yeah!!
My home state.
... And I can teach you how to properly pronounce Monongahela ;)
Great vid, brother.
haha thanky
So hey dude!
So are you finished with Shadow's In The Forest? I know one can run out of content to talk about but I was hoping to just see even go to some of the other events. But I understand..... Sometimes life just happens. At least that's the way it is in my case. Hope all is well with you bro!
nope plenty of content youtube sucks
snowalker13,Does youtube suck or is it since Google took it over and started screwing it up ?
I am noticing at 15:21, that the weaving method you use is very similar to pine needle basket making. combine the most recent one with the next one... nice...
Straight diagonal weave
Great Vid. Makes me want to try my hand at weaving one.
Hey start with a small one until you tackle the whole thing?
What size jute did you use? 3ply? 4ply? etc?
3ply
I had no idea it was two separate methods that were used to make this thing. Sure makes it less scary to try.
18 strands 25' of jute is daunting bro!
Snowalker13
Not so much, it was the whole "trying to figure out how to fingerweave it all" thing.
Hi Brian
I recently completed an elk hide jacket for a good friend of mine who happens to be an knife maker. You can check it out on TH-cam at elk hide jacket. We are in the NW so we do the mountain man thing. tell me what you think of it. God bless.
Out of curiosity, what where the period alternatives to a line like this?
Sitric Brave Leather, rope mostly, thanks for the question
How long is each section. What size jute did you use. I have one i made out of leather and rope. I started this style of ML in 1968
as long as I want to make them or whatever the customer wants
Why were tumplines so expensive back in the day? Were they that labor and time intensive?
I believe that would have been the case also remember the woven tump was not always available to the common man. For the natives an every day thing, to the white man not so.
Where did you get your garters and sash? Thanks!
My garters were woven by my friend Alec Fourman the Sash is from CJ Wilde she does not weave much anymore due to arthritis
Thanks!
What can I say...LOL
Opal Preston Shirley LOL! Just kidding bro
Great video but the dog panting was kinda annoying
after watching this I think I understand why the men had the women do this, too time consuming
Not really once you get past your first the rest are easy
