Memories Of An Old Maine Hunting Camp 1940’s,50’s,&60’s (PART 1)

- Today I’m sharing with you scenes from an old Maine Hunting Camp. Photo’s are some that were taken from the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s. My father, grandfather, and other relatives used to hunt deer, wild hares, bear, and they’d fish there as well. Any game that they got helped feed them, and their families. I didn’t know all of these men, and sadly they’re now gone. When I was growing up I spent some time at the camp throughout the years. It was a wonderful, quiet, and peaceful place, with no electricity or running water.
Thank you for visiting today, and God Bless.

Awesome, a real piece of Americana. If more men still did this kind of thing today, we would be a much better, stronger nation. I am heading out to moose camp tomorrow to hunt with my sons.
Thank you very much, and I agree with you. The best of luck on your hunting, have a good time!
Memories are that we have when it’s all said and done. I’m praying we can meet loved ones again. This video warms my heart, thanks for sharing. Your family with us.
Thank you for watching. I believe we will see them again. I know I sure do miss them.
So awesome I miss my family deer camp all the memories came flooding back thank you for the memories
Never got to experience those old camps, heard the stories from my grandfather and uncles, and have always longed for the experience and fellowship.
Thanks so much for stopping by. They worked hard while there but also pulled some pranks, and many laughs along the way.
Wow! Just wow! If you grew up hunting with grandpa and uncles….then you know. How awesome
Thank you Brian! I appreciate you stopping by!
Making memories. It's great yet sad to see loved ones who are no longer with us. Cherish those moments. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much Elmer. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.
No matter how hard you try you cannot make up memories like those. You can only hope to provide memories like that for your children and grandchildren. Hopefully they feel the same way in 40 years
Thank you! I agree with you. I appreciate you stopping by!
WOW, I could watch this over and over again. I hunted in the 60's before safety orange was a requirement. I remember the Woolrich that was worn by the older hunters. Thank you for sharing your memories with us.
Thank you Dave! I appreciate you sharing your memories. It was a different time wasn’t it? I’m happy to share these old pictures for those who have appreciation for the older times and remember. My father, grandfather, and cousins are in most of these photos. I did a part 1 and a part 2 of this. I remember dad get ready every hunting season, for his stay at camp. Thanks for stopping by!
Wow , this is epic in every way . fantastic images , we will absolutely meet again our pasts.
Thank you Steve! I have these in a collection of slides. I had to work with each slide, take a digital picture, and edit, in order to view them as a digital photo. It took awhile, but it was SO worth it. It’s nice to see pictures of my father, grandfather, and other family members from way back then. I have a part 2 as well. Better times in many ways. I look forward to seeing them again one day. Thank you for watching 🙂
Just found this video Maine is beautiful I have only been there once but could easily live there. I am from Michigan and it reminds me of Maine and yes we had a hunting camp way back,those days are long gone so if you are lucky enough to still have a camp try and keep the tradition going, you have good memories, thanks for the video
Thank you Don, I appreciate you stopping by and commenting. The camp building still stands out in the woods, but all the family is gone now. I’m not sure what the status of the place is anymore. But long ago, it was a wonderful place to go to. No power, or running water.
Peaceful and quiet. The land in that area is being bought up, when it goes on the market. Sad to see. These were all slides (there’s a part 2) here as well. They were all slides that I carefully copied digitally in order to make the videos. Have a blessed Christmas!
I miss my grampa and uncles during hunting season all the red plaid woolrich and johnson wool hunting outfits the smell of smoke and the upland bird rabbit and deer hunts. I got emotional watching this thank you for posting these 3 video's 😢❤
Awe, thanks so much for sharing your memories. Hang onto those good memories and thank you for stopping by!
Everyone was in their "HAPPY PLACE" great tribute !
Yes! Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories of your childhood..Thank you for sharing your father grandfather and other family members of your life.

Special memories I know the wonderful feeling of hunting camps such an amazing video Kat
Thank you, yes I know you understand about hunting camps. There’s been a lot of memories created. Thanks for watching my friend.
That was so beautiful. Love them old photos. The clothing, the vehicles and all the smiles. Thank you 😁
Thanks so much Steve, I’m glad you enjoyed. It was from better and different times in many ways. I love seeing my grandfather and my dad from their younger hunting days, in these photos. They are gone but never forgotten 🕊 I appreciate you stopping by.
Don’t recall seeing this one before Kat but what a great collection of old photos from up to camp. Nicely done !
Thank you! There is also a part 2. I made these videos from old slides my relative gave me. I really enjoyed the project when putting this together, because these were slides and images of my family members I hadn’t seen before. I appreciate you watching! 🙂
Nice pictures,,, in ĺoving memorys💐
Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting these, great shots, each of them, from a golden era and the hallowed tradition of camp. With appreciation from W. Gardiner, Maine.
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
It looks like a fantastic time to have lived. That is a very beautiful video.
Thank you so much! It was before my time, but I grew up hearing the memories from my father, and to have the slides from this time, is a real treasure. I was able to convert the slides into a digital format & enlarge them. I appreciate you stopping by!
awesome memories. lots of stories told there for sure.
Thank you for watching! They used to have a journal that they kept there at the camp, and when someone would go up there for the day or week, they would put their entry in the journal. I remember hearing some of the stories 🙂
This is really great look into how people really made things work. People working together with some common goals. And a simpler life.
Thank you, that’s for sure. They were great people and they worked great together ❤️
I am a little jealous of your hunting pictures of your Dad and Grandpa, my Dad died when I was 3, so I never got a chance to hunt with him, but I sure got the hunting bug from him! Great memories you have there!
Thanks so much! I am thankful to have been the recipient of these pictures to share. I’m sorry you lost your dad so young. I hope you will keep on with the tradition. Thanks for stopping by!
@@KatInTheNorth Both of my sons, and one of my daughters are hunters, so yes, the traditions continue, but I confess, we don't take enough pictures. Thanks again for sharing yours!
@@nathanadrian7797 Happy to hear it!
Nice i really want to live in the old days when life was just soo simple and not much of complications.
It was a better time then, but the work was hard for everyone. No modern conveniences like you see today.
Memories of my Dad and grandfather down at the cottage at New Meadows, of David up at deer camp in Stratton Maine. Life’s memories move on !
Awe, I’m so glad this brings back some good memories for you! Thank you for watching! Have a great day!
I enjoy Watching things from the past! Thank you so much

This is The New England version of the Rocking Chair Deer Camp film. Love it. Works the same way here in our woods of Vermont.
Hi Tyler, I’m not familiar with that film. Thanks for stopping by!
Very nice. Well done.

Thanks for posting this. It looks like and reminds me of our Hunting Camp in Read Ontario Canada.
You’re welcome. I’m so glad you enjoyed this video. Thank you for stopping by!
Great job on the editing and archiving your family history.
Thank you Mark. I really enjoyed putting this all together. I appreciate you stopping by. God Bless!
beautiful pictures
Awe, thank you ♥️
Great video. I am in the process myself building a hunting camp in Maine. I hope to have memories just like those someday. God bless! Maine North Woods Hunter.
Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you will soon be creating memories in your own hunting camp here in Maine. A lot of wonderful memories at this old camp, back in the day. Thank you for visiting.
Hi! I just subbed to you. Because your settings are adjusted for children, it says no one can use the bell notification when you put out a new video (that’s the message I got). I had to set my own channel to say not appropriate for children, otherwise I’d run into the same problem (no one would get notification) I don’t know why TH-cam’s settings are that way, but they are. Also I was unable to comment. Anyway, your channel looks interesting. Stay safe out there and God Bless!
sadly nothing even come close to this here in the uk however i did grow up ferreting rabbit and pigeon shooting and running dogs with my old Dad and uncle and cousin all now sadly no longer with us i have some great memories though thank you
@@matttangles2106 Hi Matt, thank you for stopping by! It sounds like you have some wonderful memories to hang on to. Thank you for sharing.
I've been thinking I need to make a video of my grandparents mining claim in the 1950's. My two brothers and I spent our summers there and loved our tie there so much. Guess that's why I'm still an introvert because my playmates were cows and wild animals. My much older brothers didn't want their little sister bugging them🙄 Loved your video...
Thank you, and I think you should make that video. It sounds interesting. Thank you for stopping by!
This was so beautiful Kat. I watched half of part 2 but thought I'd come watch part 1 first ! So I was wondering if that was your family cabin, or did people just rent it out ? Loved seeing all of the old cars outside the hut, it was like being at an old car museum. Funny seeing all of the rabbits hung up too. This was so so good 💗
Hi! Thank you for watching both! It was built as a hunting camp by the hard work of the men in these videos (family). They all paid dues, to cover the taxes and other expenses. It was owned by all of the hunting camp members. During the times when it wasn’t hunting season, members went up throughout the year to maintain the property, and just to get away (take a day trip) with their family members. Such great memories. Thank you for asking! I appreciate you for stopping by, and God Bless!
@Kat In The North Ah that's fantastic and looks like they're was so many memories there. Loved it 🙂💜
@@FXWalesAnnaAlf Thank you 🙂
Wow this is soo cool. Amazing memories u have here. Thanks gor sharing
Thank you, I appreciate you stopping by ♥️
You are so fortunate to have these pictures. Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome! These were just several (from over 100 slides) that I received from a cousin. I don’t have a slide viewer, so I had to take photos of each slide (that was held up to the light), then edit. That’s why they are a bit blurry. A treasure ❤️
Great video. Thanks for taking us back to another time. Music was excellent.
Thank you Wayne!! I appreciate you stopping by! Better times for sure, and I’m glad you liked the video.
Very nice Kat.thanks for sharing
You’re welcome!
Very peaceful and calm music. Thanks also for sharing these unique pictures.😊💕🎵👍
Thank you for stopping by!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!❤
This was wonderful! Thanks Kat!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Have a blessed day!
thank you for sharing
You’re welcome 🙂
Amazing, thanks for sharing these wonderful memories. Have a great day 👍
Thank you! You have a great day as well! ☀️
Love this!
Thank you so much, I loved that old camp. Back in the 1960’s growing up, we would go there. Dirt roads, no electricity, gathered water from the spring off the path, that spring also kept our soda in glass bottles cold. Great memories, but it started out in the 1940’s with the family you saw in the video. Thank you for watching!
Nice picture of grandpa 😁
Thanks! I’m sure that dip in the water was refreshing after a hard day’s work. My grandfather was a hard working man.
that cool days gone by
Thank you for watching. I think they were better days ☀️
Nice 👍🏽
Thank you!
we have a similar cabin here in nova scotia built in 69 by my father, we still use it and is pretty much unchanged sice it was built, is this cabin still around? looks like a wonderful place. I'll soon be going to ours all my old timers re gone as well but man the memories. Cant wait to put a fire on.
Hi, yes as far as I know it still stands. That’s great that you have a similar one in Nova Scotia. I’m glad it’s still there! Hang onto the fond memories. I appreciate you stopping by!
that's a beautiful video ! Takes some skill to strap a big buck onto the hood of one of those curvy old cars !!!
Thank you! Yes, sometimes there would be 2 or 3 strapped on a vehicle, along with Christmas trees to bring home! 🙂
Wow, I don't think I have see those pictures before!
Oh, I didn’t know if I’d shared them with you or not but thought I did. I’ll send you a private message ❤️
Great memories, beautiful cabin. ❤
Thank you ❤️
Beautiful
Thank you! I appreciate your support!
That was cool, well done 👍
Thank you! A better time, I’m thinking.
Well made, really enjoyed watching this
Thank you so much for watching! I enjoyed putting the video together.
@@KatInTheNorth Quite spectacular. New sub
@@NatureThroughOurEyes Thank you! Have a great evening!
Awesome!
Thank you!
Awesomeness
Thank you!
What a beautiful video! And what a rich, beautiful life that must have been. I grew up in a Scottish crofthouse not so very different (no indoor plumbing..the toilet seat made me laugh out loud...and no electric). My dad put meat on the table too, so the deer etc were familiar sights but the "look" is different and reflects our different cultures. I LOVE that kind of plaid that seems to be particular to your country, the red and black kind? I don't know what you call it, sorry. The cars then were gorgeous too, now all cars look the same and have no personality. And the stove! Also, that piece of music was just gorgeous.
Thank You Trish 🙂 Omgosh you know the funny thing about that toilet seat is that I also have a picture of an older woman holding it! I have NO idea what that was all about but it sure is funny and I’m sure there is a story about it 😄 I’m glad it made you laugh lol. We need more laughter in our life theses days 🤗 Back then the hunters usually wore the black and red plaid but I’m not sure if that’s allowed anymore here in this state. They now where the bright solid orange colors. I sure loved going there when I was growing up. We filled those water buckets with drinking water and kept it right by the door. That water was SO good, and we used to have tonic/soda/orange in glass bottles back in the 1960’s. We used to bring the bottles down to the brook and put the bottles into the sand a bit to keep them cold under the water. What a treat it was. Dad made egg salad sandwiches wrapped in waxed paper and we even got to have potato chips/crisps. Now people eat them all the time, but back then it was a special treat. It was very peaceful there, but I did NOT like the old outhouse (there was no door) 😬. Still that camp brings me some great memories ❤️
Such a wonderful video !
Thanks so much! I sure do miss these days gone by. A better time 🇺🇸
@@KatInTheNorth
I do understand.
You are very welcome. Thanks a lot to you for sharing all those beautiful photos and memories.
Memories 🙏🙏

Thank you 🙏
Beautiful music, anyone know what this is? ty!
Thank you it’s a Royalty Free song I selected on iMovie, but I can’t remember the name of it at the moment.
Did u guys ever hunt moose up their?
Years ago, yes. Most moose are to be found further North in the state. Thank you for watching! Blessings!
CONGRATS! YOU BROKE 1000 VIEWS! I think i have the coolest nana!
Awe!!! Well you are a pretty cool
Grandson too! I love you!! ❤️
That's true maine wish I could of been around in those days
@@lukeraven1799 I think those days were much better. Thank you for stopping by!
Did you get to go with your dad ?
No, because being his daughter, it was the men in the family that did the hunting. Plus when these photos were taken, I wasn’t born yet. I do remember my dad preparing for his trip to the hunting camp every season though. However, later in years, we would go up and spend the day (as a family). So many great memories there! Thanks for watching.
They used old cars for hunting? Wow
The cars brought them to the camp. When going home they secured their deer on their cars to get them home.
If walls could talk...
Absolutely. Thank you for watching. I appreciate it. Blessings to you.
