- Peter thanks you, our audience, for your support, comment and stories. Wild turkeys visit the homestead and Peter begins the process of putting food down for the winter. He harvests squash, onions, peppers and carrots. He discusses food security and the practice of planting victory gardens during WWII. Before storing the carrots in the root cellar, he sorts them and stores them in peat moss (which is reused every year).
Peter then continues his construction of the outhouse by his 1700's settler's cabin. He runs into a problem fitting the door.

Good morning. I do the same thing in the morning, reading comments is my primary source of entertainment.
And good morning to you as well. We happen the be reading our most recent comments at this moment. Love your channel.
@@TheWoodlandEscape, yes Shawn sure has a great channel too. You should go hunt a Moose at Shawn's place because you have two tags and he has a lot of moose and no tag. A collaboration will make a great episode.
Wow! I watch Shawn too! Hi Shawn🐝❤️🤗
Hi Shawn.Well what a surprise to see you here! You better get busy winters coming...🦴 🐕 👍 🤠 🇺🇸
Happy to see that my favorite Ontarians you tubers following each other.
As the Serjeant of the 49th, I am happy to say the outhouse was perfect!
Nothing but the best for the 49th Ryan.
I'M NOW 86 YRS. AND RAISED ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF PITTSTON PENNA, I RECALL THE GRANDFATHERS AND MY DAD DOING MANY OF THE THINGS YOU ARE DOING. AT 10 YEARS I LEARNED TO TRAP. HUNTING IN THE FAMILY HUNTING CAMP. I AND MY BROTHERS COLLECTED SO MUCH FIRE WOOD WE COULD HAVE BUILT A FORT. WE LOVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES. NOW LIVING AT 7600 FT., UP IN THE ROCKIES AS A MOUNTAIN MAN. LOVE MY LIFE. YOU GOT ME HOOKED. HOWDY
And a big howdy to you, Ken , sounds like we’re both living the dream.
Thank you guys for making the videos and sharing with us. Thank your son for suggesting it! My father's family came to Virginia in the 1740's and in 1827 were pioneers in the mountains of southern West Virginia where they stayed, the original family land is still in the family. My grandparents were born in the 1880's and had 14 children live to adulthood, 11 boys 3 girls. My dad was one of the youngest, and I am the youngest grandchild born in 1979. I loved to listen to their stories, my dad and all my aunts and uncles have passed on, but in many ways until after World War II they lived in much the same way. I feel privileged to have my family's history and the stories, skills, and lessons passed down. Many folks down nowadays don't have that, I look at your channel as a way to share those skills life lessons and then history that has been lost for so many families. Because it is valuable so valuable and unfortunately so much of it has been lost. It's funny as in the last 10 or so years people start talking about homesteading gardening and canning route sellers as though these are new concepts because of that lost history that lost connection with their past. Whereas even though I was born in 1979 I was raised with much of these skills and found it strange my friends were not.
You have a fascinating family history Anita and we thank you for sharing a wee bit of it with us. Your right, most people of your vintage have little or no basic survival skills. Perhaps it should be kept alive in our school curriculum.
Words can not describe how I enjoy the videos, wish there was more I could do other than just like and comment.
Well sir, the comments and feedback are most certainly appreciated.
Thank you for taking us back to a simpler time and giving us even a respite from these more turbulent times. I spend quite a bit of time rough camping and by watching your videos, I've learned a lot and intend on using that new knowledge to benefit my own adventures. Thanks again.
Many thanks! I’m pleased that some of our content may be found useful to you.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to you and your wife for taking the time and trouble to share. I was one of the lucky ones who caught your videos very early on.
Thanks Bill.
I remember the day we got plumbing and my dad had an outhouse burning party🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🚻💩👍🏻⭐🌙
Gotta love that home grown, city folks just dont understand.
Thank you for your weekly shows I very much enjoy them.
a beautiful harvest. Thank you for sharing. My bf Ronnie got me into this channel
We’re glad you’re enjoying.
As I watched you build your outhouse, I was reminded of when I was in Viet Nam our company area was relocated in our base camp. In compensation for the inconvenience, we were built new facilities by the engineers. One new structure was a ling, narrow outhouse of sorts. But, there was a bit of miscalculation in laying it out. We ended up with 13 and a half holes. Not to worry, however. We had a young lieutenant we thought was rather half-assed. 😆
That’s a great story!
I truly enjoy your channel. My dream is to live in a cabin off the grid like our ancestors did. Unfortunately due to losing both my legs and kidney failure, I live my dream watching channels like yours. Thank you for your honest living.
Our hearts go out to you Mike. We’re glad we are able to bring you some enjoyment.
Plane those boards, so your backsides aren’t splintered, and dig’r deep so it won’t soon heap!
All good advice, even today!
That’s hilarious Randall, thanks for sharing.
My grandma was born in 1879 in Clinch County, GA the second daughter of Harris Tomlinson and Arlia Ann Barbara Dame of Magnolia District, Clinch County, GA.
Mr. Pete....you are my escape!!! Thank you for your love of the outdoors, your amazing craftsmanship, & your wisdom. You sir are a hidden treasure!
How nice, thank you sir!
@@TheWoodlandEscape psssst....I'm not a guy : )
cant wait to be at the point in my life when i can buy land and do this!
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Your cheery personality is infectious. It shows that the way you live is truly the path to happiness. ☺️ The peat moss for storing carrots, I've never heard of before. I will have to try that! I think using the slabs for batten on the outhouse was an awesome idea. It's really rustic and pretty. Yes, an outhouse can be pretty, mine is! 😂
A cheery personality is it now, lol. Thanks Sally I’m indeed flattered!
I grew up with a two holler, in the wood shed, until I left home when I was 19 yrs. old.
Your WELCOME!!! I love your channel and love how your spendin g your TIME! Yor living the DREAM!!! I'm jelouse!!
We are fortunate to have the place and the energy to live this lifestyle. We certainly appreciate your in.
I have plenty of experience with outhouses growing up on our farm near you Peter. Two things come to mind. #1: Always check for hornet nests and #2: There was a saying my mother posted above the TP…”Handle this with special care. It seems we have none to spare. If everyone are paper hogs. We’ll have to go back to catalogs”.
Good to hear from you my old friend, I trust all is well with you and your clan. Mother’s can certainly be wise when it comes to managing the families resources!
Peter, you(and family)have brought us along on a wonderful journey. North American history(I am in Southern California)is exciting and you are a real joy to watch, listen to and learn from. I am so happy I found your channel. The best to all of you!
We’re glad you found us as well and appreciate your support.
Don't believe I've commented on your videos before this. My wife and I truly enjoy your channel. I especially enjoy the historical knowledge you share. We built and lived in a log home in Missouri back in the mid to late 80's. Unlike yours, it was not built from scratch but from logs cut and hewn in Tennessee to a specific set of plans. I always had a great respect for the American and Canadian fur traders and the era in which they lived. It seemed to me the young people of today don't give that era the respect it is due. For a number of years after retirement, I tried to bring a little life to that era for our 8th graders. I'd dress the part and recount things like Coulter's run or Hugh Glass's return from near death. Have gotten a little too long in the tooth to do it now but it was enjoyable while it lasted. Anyway, thanks for the great channel and historical information.
It was a really dedicated history teacher in grade 10 that seeded my life long love of history. Like you, he put the effort into it. He some how acquired a number of WW1 uniforms and Ross rifle with firing pins removed and we filmed the battle of Vimy Ridge in the ravine behind our school. I would also area with you, that entire fir trade era is fascinating. Thanks so much for your interest.
Good morning. I just love your videos. Takes me to a time I believe I lived before in another life. I long for the good ole days. I am disabled and often think of when I was a child growing up going to my grandparents and they lived a life very close to what you are doing. Thank you for making these videos
Our pleasure Patrica and glad you find enjoyment in our endeavor.
My great grandmother was born in 1874...I am 68 now...I remember staying at her house when I was 5 or 6 years old...this is how I remember that...I was sleeping in the bedroom across from the bathroom...the best way I can say this it the bathroom light went on and my great grandmother had an open policy to the bathroom and a young boy saw something he didn't need to see...true story...she lived to her mid 90's
We’ll that’s one one way to get an early education!
The thing about TH-cam and our ability to actually interact with the video creators makes it seem to us viewers, as if the people we are watching are actual FRIENDS, thus we naturally share our lives and memories with 'you'. I imagine that it is somewhat different for the creators until 'you' become familiar with those responding.
Hello Peter. I'm watching a bunch of your videos and dreaming I could one day copy everything you've done, like I said, dreaming. Please don't ever stop putting out theses videos, you give this old man many hours of pleasure. Thanks my friend. If I'd tuned into you tube 10 or 12 years ago I do believe my life would have went a totally different route(for the better).
Such a flattering compliment Phillip, thank you.
Your story of the out house. We had one hole here in Australia. As a small child you learnt quickly how to sit. And we called then “thunder boxes”.
Open boxes over the pit with no structure are called thunder boxes up here in Canada.
I throughly enjoy your videos I have watched all but one now I think. I hope you continue for a good while. Thank you!!
I wasn’t there in the beginning of your channel but I definitely love watching your guises videos
Congrats!!!! What a great effort!!!!! Love the cabin and wonderful life!
Some fine sumac berries in the shot w/ turkeys. Makes a good tea.
It does indeed make a fine tea.
I wait with eager anticipation of every new video you post. Thank you. Please keep it coming and I'm so appreciative of something so special in these odd times we live in
I’ve watched most episodes several times. Keep up the excellent productions with history and wisdom. Those sentiments of a roof, a full larder, a full woodshed are exactly our yearly sentiments and accomplishments on Fox Valley Farm in Clermont County Ohio!
I got my old muzzle loader out to shine.
Good for you. Remember “ Aim small, miss small”.
Always a great pleasure to watch your Videos !! Merci Beaucoup
Thank you!
I said it last year, this is my favorite channel on utube. Look forward to every episode. Ladd Illinois
Still wish u carried a tomahawk in your belt tho !!😁
I always carry one when I’m trekking.
" twelve years old and realized his name wasn't get wood." Hilarious. I chuckled at that one.
Heck, funny enough that just you sending the comment has me laughing, so thank you … a great way to start my day.
Just recently found your channel……. And I am in love with the life ……personally in the medical field in primary care …..I am burned out …….channel has me longing for a simple basic life …… not easier but better physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually….
Thank you for your efforts Heather. I can relate. You'll make it happen. Best wishes.
Maybe you could pursue functional medicine and just hang up a shingle outside of the mainstream corporate driven medicine that abuses primary care physicians. Then you could work towards the simple life, live less extravagantly, and step away from the rat race. It would be necessary to have a partner with the same mindset, worldview, and goal. I wish you the best in getting there… ( Sukey in northern VT, embracing and living the simple life)
We think in similar manners. Do it, nothing is stopping you.
Hi Heather.. get an idea where you want to be in 5 yrs and start to make small changes till it all happens. I did.. left my construction job and moved to the country.. where i live now people wave as we drive past each other.. before if i waved to someone id get the finger in return...lol life goes quick.. but you can do it!!👍
@@sukeywatson1281 goal is to be out of rat race in less then 5 years …I currently live on less the 1/4 of my income …the rest goes to retirement and taxes…tired of working only to pay Biden ….youngest has college to finish ..then I am done …looking at Montana or Maine…… if I do not have burn out
Congratulations on the growth and success of this channel. I have just started watching and am very impressed and I am learning a lot about our past. If you don't have such a video; I would like, and probably a lot of others too, to see you do one about yourself on your life, education, work career, pioneer skills training and how you got started reliving the 18th century lifestyle. I think that would be a cool video. Thank you for doing what you are doing to educate us.
That is a great idea … thanks for planting the seed.
I stumbled across your channel when you first started to build the cabin and have truly enjoyed it! I like the look of using those scrap pieces on the outhouse. They give it even more character.
Thanks Joy, we are pleased you stumbled upon our step back in time endevour.
Your channel is the only one that I watch every week and look forward too. Your little endeavour as you put it is exceptional in content and history. I told you a long time ago you should write a book including your vast historical knowledge and you said you couldn't write well. The information you have should be somehow kept so it isn't lost to time. The videos are great but I'd certainly buy any book you authored or coauthored. You and Kathy are to be congratulated on this remarkable series. Thanks for taking us back in time. Mark
Thanks Mark, your comments are always so flattering. Actually, Cathy does the lions share of the work, while I for the most part, simply apply my passion for history!
@@TheWoodlandEscape Sorry I keep trying to make Cathy, Kathy.
I really like the slab battons. Looks good.
Thanks for all that moving history book lol
Hello from Detroit Michigan USA brother great video thank you for sharing your adventure
Your.a priceless channel.to me anyway to see how it takes patients to make a good sold cabin.
Getting caught up with your videos this one was entertaining and as always l learn something new and that's getting hard to at 67 years of age.
I’m flattered Gary, glad you’re enjoying.
Congratulations on your 50th!
The outhouse is just as beautiful as the cabin,Love the channel.
Your videos are so relaxing to watch.
I would build a buck saw hanger that could be stomped in the ground next time the forge is heated. It would beat bending over. I drilled a hole in my hay fork and made a wire hook to put in it, to hang tools on, when my hair turned white.
Sound feedback, simple tool, but oh so functional… I believe I might just build one.
As always appreciate your efforts and dedication. I found your storage tips very useful and informative. You are a wealth of knowledge. That outhouse will serve you well. Thank you again and keep your powder dry!!
Thanks Ashley and watch your top knot!
As a historian (I have a BA in History) watching your videos make me want to keep learning. Your why of teaching reminds me of the living history museums I visited as a child and as an adult. Please keep up the great work.
Thanks Lois.
LOVE this video series. Please please keep it going. I look forward to it all week.
A sturdy and goodly necessary house indeed! Looks Great! Your channel is an oasis with all the other stuff out there! It honors our Ancestors and is close to Mother Earth. Respectful to all and a class room in the wilds. What more could a person want? So with Much Appreciation I Thank You Both Most Kindly! And many more years Together as well! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Thank you kindly, Davey.
Dear Peter, I don´t lose my faith on some special day visit your paradise. Really you are a blessed person..
I enjoy your videos and love your enthusiasm!
I admire your lifestile greetings from Uruguay
Hey Javier and greetings from Canada. Thanks for your interest.
Congratulations on the 30,000 subs. I enjoy your videos very much.
always a great blog Squire, God bless
My grandmother was offered an indoor toilet after the war and she refused as she thought it was unhygienic to have a loo indoors! We had to run to her outdoor loo every winter lol 😂
Gotta love and respect our grandparents!
YOUR THANKING US ! That's like St. Nick thanking the children for accepting his gifts . No THANK YOU . It would be nice to meet you and shake the hand of a truly humble man .
I am flattered indeed, Harper.
Congratulations on your channel growth
Thanks Scarlet.
Your videos are awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.
Weekly positivity and productivity has arrived! Happy 50th. Thank you for the videos and please stay well.
I am so thankful I found this Channel it is always so Encouraging !!
I wish I was born back then. I love the frontier life.
Hello from Maine! ❤️ We learned of your channel by a viewer who commented about you on the "Homestead Living" TH-cam station. Looks like you're having some fun up there! 😊
Thanks Dawn, indeed we are. Thanks for your interest.
i am a lazy gardener as well. i mulched heavily after planting to avoid having to hoe. i found the best way to keep carrots is to leave them in the ground. after a frost i would mulch heavily and drive a stake in the ends so i could find them in the snow. they would be firm, sweet and moist.
We did that one year but, got about a week of freezing rain followed by a lot of snow … had to use a pick axe to get them out. Your right about t the flavor though.
I know this is from a year ago, but I love your videos. I have actually learned a bunch from them. Have you ever done a biography type video on how you started this whole trip?
Not yet, didn’t think there would be an interest. Thanks for planting the seed.
Wonderful harvest
This channel is like David Carradine starring in a movie about Jon Townsend.
That’s funny!
I absolutely adore this channel, what a find. I am super jealous of your homestead. A little tip my old carpenter father taught me for when your hammer slips of the top of the nail is to polish the head of the hammer on a piece of glasspaper. Never fails. Keep up the great work, hope that your winter months arent too harsh. Merry Christmas and a fruitful New Year.
Thank you Mark for both your interest and your sound advise, I give that a try.
I accidentally stumbled upon your channel today and discovered that the simple living you emulate brings the joy of life to the audience.
Your calm demeanor, appreciation of your craft, and the perfect illustration of life during the 17 century elevate your videos to the highest level among the other TH-cam videos. Thank you for providing the joy one needs in this irate life.
Thank very much,Peter, from both of us. A very flattering compliment.
Congratulations on such a well done channel. Keep up the great work!
We appreciate your positive feedback, John.
Congratulations on your success. Hope you're able to continue the journey.
After watching all your videos, (and keeping them) all I can say is Thank-you very much
Every time I see those flintlocks, I wish I could get some close-ups and some details. I suspect I'm not the only one. I have 2 self built hanging above my fireplace. And I never saw a flush toilet 'til I was 8.
We will attempt to have a discussion of the different weapons of the time period.
I'm just here for the comments ☺!
Seriously though, great series!
Hi Cathy and Peter!
Congratulations on making it an entire year with posting your video stories and I’m proud to say that I’ve been watching for 8 of this months. I once lived in a mountain top cabin in New York’s Adirondack Mountains when I operated one of the state’s forest fire lookout towers. As a history buff re-playing many of your videos is a happy place for me as well.
My mother and grandmother often talked about their trials to survive during the Great Depression and rationing during World War II. My grandfather had a half an acre of land that he gardened for vegetables and mom often said that most of the meat on the supper table was what one of my uncles shot on the hill behind the house or the fish they would catch from the creek.
While watching your videos it struck me that nothing has really changed from the 1750s up until today. People need to eat and they must preserve what they grow or gather from the land. Sure the technology has improved by leaps and bounds, but preserving food and the way it is done is basically still the same. Yes that sounds quite simplified although the essence of the task certainly remains the same.
Thank you for your channel and for going through the tremendous effort to share your knowledge with us all.
Your right Bill, not much has changed in our needs but, so much has changed in how we acquire them. I’m a firm believer that all high school aged children should have a mandatory common sense course, even if it is a few hours in length … things like soil science, propagation etc. Thanks for your interest.
The vídeo was very good my friend! Congratulation 👏👏👏! Sérgio Bienias! Paraná Brasil
Awesome! And congrats on fifty episodes and 30K subscribers! I always love starting my week with your videos, it helps calm me down before I get started on my actual work!
Thanks Alex and you were missed at the 49 encampment this past weekend.
I trace one ancestor to the early 1800's. By 1830 he and his family along with several other relations lived in a log cabin or a framed dwelling (not sure which), at least ten individuals, I wonder how they managed. Watching your site helps to give me some idea, but I imagine their home was a bit bigger.
Historically the first homes were quite small. Straw sleeping pallets were rolled out at night and then stored away to make space for the day.
Was just looking to see if you posted today! Thanks Peter
You all do such a wonderful job at providing crucial information to the people of the world 🌎
May You and your family be Blessed 🙌
Much Love to you all
🦆🦆🦆👩🌾🐕🐾🐾🌲⚘
Fantastic to see how the pioneers lived , your knowledge and craftmanship is amazing , please keep on making the videos 👌 Ian from scotland
Thank you very much! I do believe we’ve got a few more in us, lol.
Love the outhouse. I am so happy I recently found your channel. I now am Cathy g up watching past videos. I always look forward to the next one. I always said I was born way too late. I always felt I should have been born back in the early days. Thank you for such wonderful videos without all the useless chit chat.
Please pass along my thanks and appreciation to the gentleman who provide your music. It grabs my heart and won't let go! At times I cry at the beauty! If they have this music available please let me know. I would love to have it!
I will do that in person, Millie. My wife and I will be heading to Nova Scotia in a week and Al, Richard and I get together and jam until the wee hours of the mourn.
The Woodland Escape. Checking back with you re the music and your trip to NC. Hope that your conversation and jam session went well. Thank you ever so much!
Your channel so interesting! I have seen all your films. Have you ever thinking about building a sauna? The Finns who immigrated to North America build the sauna at first... But the most of them moved in 1800 and beginning of 1900. My uncle that i have never met moved to Canada. Keep on good work. Gr. Jukka Nordman from Northern Finland
In our attempt to keep it as historically accurate as possible, a sauna might a stretch but, tempting I must say!
@@TheWoodlandEscape Yes, i understand 👍All the best to uour channel 😀 Little snow here now and ground is frozen...
I be live you may have one of best channel on TH-cam
Thanks Everett, a flattering compliment, indeed.
Excellent video today. I am always amazed at your wife's steady hand behind the camera. The volume was loud enough and your history lessons were very clear and enjoyable to hear. The volume on the music was perfect and I love to hear that particular music by Richard and Al, as you noted. Looking forward to the next episodes. :)
She does indeed Pattie. She keeps getting handed at it with each episode. We will be heading to the East coast in January and I will be joining in with Al and Richard for some home grown music.
Seeing your onions in your canoe reminded me of one time I used my husband's boat to scrap corn from the cob for freezing. Talk about a mess! There was corn juice everywhere, including me. Sure was good corn. Excellent bounty from your garden.
It was a productive season. This years is a wee bit slower but, shows promise!
Thanks for the lessons and the motivation. I have read about history and pioneer times since I was a kid. Working on fall planting and next years garden. Please keep up the great work.
My mom grew up on a farm in North Dakota and my kids love hearing stories how she didn't have indoor plumbing or electricity until 1955! This channel reminds me of the many field trips we took as kids to the old Fort Wayne Museum in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
impressive crop!
You have a great channel. Alot of people love watching historical channels but you live it. Much respect.
Thanks Jeff.
Hey Peter! You missed only one thing on your outhouse. The star or the moon in the door!
It appears a lot of people agree with you James.
Love your channel!!!
