As a modern day bushcrafter/survivalist/prepper. I am so lucky to have come across your channel. Every second of the past two videos I have watched, I have either learned something new or learned how to do/use something I have better or in a different way. I have been doing this for a long time. I am totally subscribing to you and will be watching every video . The greatest compliment I can give is this. “ watch and listen to the elders, more can be learned from them than from a book” you sir are an elder that many should watch and listen too. Please, please keep doing the work that you do!! I appreciate you! My humble thanks for helping all of us learn .
Yes eating the bark will always trick the mind in thinking the belly is full, but, you are getting lots of vitamins, starches and calories per pound, that's the main thing. A full stomach is a happy mind. Excellent video once again.
A fine finish to your Five Day Challenge. You made useful adaptations to your initial shelter: less space to warm; less space to cover. I understand a good bit more about wild edibles and their processing into food. We used to enjoy cattail hearts in the spring and milkweed blossoms in their season. Cowslip and dandelion greens were also popular, especially wilted with a bit of bacon and onion.
Always instructible. Nice shelter. Horse high, hog tight and bull strong. I always try to say thanks when I wake up. Your kit reminds me of a story I read of two fellows who swamped by Greenland. The older fellow had the old-time wool clothes and the younger had modern Gortex. They were pulled out of the water in short order, but the younger fellow succumbed to hypothermia. Old does not mean obsolete, new is not necessarily better. All about need and not just want. GOD Bless and Hold Fast.
Hey Peter! "Hunger is the best sauce!", was a saying of the French Army during the Napoleonic Wars! I was impressed with how your gear "rode" when you were moving about... nothing clanking... nothing swinging around and getting in the way.... yet everything was to hand when it was needed! WOW!
Thanks a lot for teaching us about the cedar tea and that it contains vitamin c and that the indigenous people showed its use to the early french newcomers to the new world for preventing them folks getting seriously ill due to scurvy. It’s such an easy and simple cure.
This was so wonderful! Thank you so much for showing what winter foods there are to survive off of and how to use them! That’s hard to find knowledge it seems.
I really enjoy these video’s brother. I like that they are authentic even more. Truth be told most videos just show the great times. In reality going without was much more the norm. I love the knowledge you give regarding the wild edibles. This channel is such a unique combination of content. I just can’t get enough.
I know if i was stuck in the woods who id like to have around Peter...your knowledge and storytelling would not only let us survive but thrive, love the videos you and your good lady, cathy produce ❤
@@TheWoodlandEscape your videos bring me a lot of joy..I look forward to them keenly...please keep doing what you do cathy and Peter...you are such an inspiration
Peter, thank you for taking us on your journey. I love seeing the old ways and customs, but am very glad to do so from the comfort of my living room….with the refrigerator near by.
Your video reminded me of the low marshy woodland where I grew up. It was in the state of New Jersey, one of the 13 original colonies. We would forage all the time looking for things to eat, we would make sassafras tea from the roots of the tree. We also would fill up on wild choke cherries and make tea from the bark. The woods was filled with so much, including wild garlic and of course cattails in abundance along with wild mushrooms. The knowledge we had of these things was past down to us from our elders. These are things I have never forgotten and your video refreshed them in my mind as well as teaching me some new things. Thank you for a very nice video.
Your channel is not only historical and informative, but actually teaches survival skills if ever society hits the fan and we would need to live by our wits. Millions of young people should be watching your channel.
Things always taste better when you're out in the woods. And especially when you're hungry! Your palette is clean, no other smells or food oils to overlay taste, and you have a greater appreciation for the food you do get. Although, most MREs are still just that..... 🙂 Thanks for sharing this! Good knowledge.
You are the best Peter i alway like your show born in French n now leaving in Australia with my wife got 5acres of land n grow berries also build a cabin for my own relaxation tank you for all your show merry xmas god bless
Merry Christmas to my favorite brother from another mother and to his lovely wife Marcia! I have been up since 2:30 AM but surprised you aren’t sleeping in today!
Simplicity & real! A far gone lifestyle that has out lasted this waste we have today! Perfection truly Perfection! Thank you & Merry Christmas to you and yours...ATB
Thank you for sharing this experience. I love to forage herbs, but I've never had the opportunity to do something like you experienced here. I really enjoyed following you in your undertaking. This is a real adventure!
I always learn from you. Another wonderful adventure. My grandmother always said "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. " I enjoy all types of weather and always forage during every season
Hey I just watched your truck in the wilderness for you set up a camp with canvasin a stone fireplace I enjoy watching your videos and been working all year trying to catch up so haven't had time to do any camping or anything like that I'm 63 years old an still hope to be able to do things like that yet keep it up I enjoy the scenery you live in a beautiful place I'm in Indiana myself when I got 22 acres about 5 acres of woods do more squirrel hunting than anything the deer fuel and far between here and there don't have time to go out and do that this year either been out about a total of 6 hours but anyway my stepson was watching you with me tonight I said watch out quickly he starts that fire he thought you were using matches I said no that's a flint and steel he was amazed have a good New Year I don't know when y'all celebrated up there
Fascinating & educational. The weather change was incredible - but still very cold I'm guessing. Have a great Christmas & thanks for your entertainment. I'll get back to my 38C Aussie Christmas!!
Enjoyed today’s journey. The rain and wind had to be very unsettling. I did not know about the cattails. I have several areas near me with acres of cattails. I am surprised they have not started on my property as I have a wetland area. Good to know how edible they are. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
Excellent video. Live in the thumb of Michigan. Have a lot of relatives in the London, Ontario area. Love 17th-18th bush type craft and camping. In the spring when the ferns are sprouting, they make an excellent salad.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this adventure with you. Your first hand knowledge is superb. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to watch your other videos now!
Another amazing video wish not want not just listening to you rings the idea of all the hardships the people had back in those days but to be smart what's smart you had a chance to survival amazing another great history lesson and a passion time thanks again for all your knowledge love always Freddie
Winter nights are always long and usually cold, too. My Cochran combat boots are pretty warm with heavy wool socks. Wind will blow the cold through just about any outer garments. My Gortex ACU jacket and pants are pretty warm and dry but continued rain, snow and wind will go through just about any outer garment.
One of your best yet! I've used hop hornbeam for making fantastic timber-framing mallets, but have never before heard of the edible seeds. Am very jealous of the nicely squared rocks available in your area -- ours here are rare and all well rounded by glaciers.
One could make a dry layer fireplace with rounds but, it would take some serious talent. I going to harvest a few small ironwood today for some ladder rungs. We appreciate your interest, David. Merry Christmas to you and your clan.
Been watching your channels for the past 2 nights!! So encouraging! New subscriber! I Can’t wait to get out in the bush and learn how to do this! We are peepers but I wanna be able to thrive off the land and learn to care for my family in the bush once SHTF happens. GodSpeed! From Wyoming!
What an absolute great video.. chocked full of valuable information.. just found your wonderful channel.. keep up the good work… Onward and Upward is the watchword. Merry Christmas..
Great and informative video. It's amazing what can foraged from our immediate surroundings. Brings to mind my Grandfather telling me how back in Sweden they would use the dried inner bark of the birch, once ground and mixed with flour to make bread.
i Realy like watching your videos. i like drinking chaga. in this area of Maine (u.s.a.) we find chaga on white, yellow, and gray birch trees.the native american tribe in this area uses chaga, they let me know that it is a natural blood thinner too.i Love all of the information in your videos. Please keep doing what you do. GOD' Bless you and your whole family. :)
Cattail root cooks up and taste like potatoes. Leeks, onion and carrots all grow in the wild also. Add some beefsteak mushroom and make a beef stew without any beef.
Pretty amazing content. Never realized there was so many edible things in the forest. Really enjoyed these last two videos. Looking forward to the one where you get home safe and sound. Thanks!!
Good evening Peter. I checked earlier today to see if you had uploaded. Last couple weeks my notification has came through late. What an awesome adventure and i want to thank you for sharing. It must be difficult carrying not only your necessities, but cameras and equipment also. After watching all the different teas you have made, I think back to the old saying, not my cup of tea. Hmm. Anyways thank you again and ill be watching for the next video. We probably won't message til after the holidays so I want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Be safe and take care. Thank you.

Peter I'm a history guy but your knowledge of this time period is exceptional. Thanks again for bringing us along. Great video!
Thanks for your continued interest, Mark.
Great job. Your camera work is outstanding. Content was very interesting, enjoyed your program look forward to your weekly shows.

Apparently it is almost instantaneous in curing scurvy.
Really loved the part about your Mother. May I also add God rest her soul!
I thank you for the kind words.
I so love these journey's with you.
This was so wonderful! Thank you so much for showing what winter foods there are to survive off of and how to use them! That’s hard to find knowledge it seems.
There is indeed lots of stuff to eat if you know where to look.
We have become so soft and spoilt in our modern lives.

Wow, thanks for your kind compliments, Scott.
My favorite natural tea is Sassafras root tea!
It is a wonderful tea!

You’ve given me my evening smile, Richard. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing and giving us a living history lesson blessings to all
Move over Survivorman Les Stroud as Peter Kelly will show you how to do it 18TH century style! Way to go Peter it was another amazing episode.

Merry Christmas Peter& Cathy and your whole hearted ♥ Family .💫💖
The gods of widowmakers were with you. Of all the bushcraft camp videos I have seen, your stone fireplace is the best.
Thank You so much for sharing these important things with us! Blessings 🌲🌲🌲

Your efforts are most appreciated. Thanks for the adventure
Thank you sir.

I appreciate that and your interest to boot!
Best videos on TH-cam!!!! Speaks to my soul!!!
Wow, now that is a flattering compliment Scott, thank you!
@@TheWoodlandEscape well deserved sir! Carry on 👌
I was so excited for Part 2 and it did not disappoint. Outstanding episode! Kudos!
Concur!
I'm really liking the design of those moccasins, would you be able to do a video showing how to build some? I'd love to give it a try, Great video!
We are planning to do just that in the New Year.
Another excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Foraging, especially in winter, can be very tough.
Indeed but, it is out there, all be it meager.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Yes, you are demonstrating that well on your videos.
Excellent video... You made great use of your time by staying busy with different projects...
Given the shortness of day light hours, one can’t dally.
A wonderful episode. I think I would have brought some food along, but you seem to do fine. The winter woods are a great place to be.
I do like to push the limits on occasion. I appreciate your interest.
very nice camp like the fireplace you make good vids
Thanks, Archie.
26:50 ..the inner bark cambium of the Balsam Fir makes a nice ersatz bubble gum....
I’ll have to give that a try.
You are the best Peter i alway like your show born in French n now leaving in Australia with my wife got 5acres of land n grow berries also build a cabin for my own relaxation tank you for all your show merry xmas god bless

Another great video sir thank you very much. Im going to try the white pine tea and spagetti
Very interesting and educational. I just love to be a part of the journey. Thank you very much.
Thanks Chistiannn. Merry Christmas to you and your clan.
Super Awsome
Fascinating & educational.
The weather change was incredible - but still very cold I'm guessing.
Have a great Christmas & thanks for your entertainment.
I'll get back to my 38C Aussie Christmas!!
Not overly cold … dipped down to minus 16 one night. Have yourself a Merry 38c Christmas.

They are edible in the winter but, far more palatable in the spring.
👍 Danke!
Love the Chimney you made.
Kinda crude but very functional.

Love 17th-18th bush type craft and camping.
In the spring when the ferns are sprouting, they make an excellent salad.
Thanks Michael. Fiddleheads are also a delicacy in the spring.
I think you did a fine job filming everything, watching these videos makes me want to go out and do the same thing!
I can take no create the cinematography, Cathy is the artist behind the lens. I will certainly pass on your compliment, Jeff.
Superb. Thank you for these videos. Love learning about the teas. Stay well.

Thanks for another educational video
Hi from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures from 1754
Thank you for a very interesting and informative video. Special thanks to Teresa for putting up with your absence while you are on this camp out.
Thanks Richard but, I think you mean Cathy. A Merry Christmas to you and your clan.
Just went out, plucked some white pine tips, made tea. Not bad, but as you said, very mild flavor. Kinda tangy with a slight bite to it.
Very cool.
Watching in the wee hours with insomnia, this is cozy.
another great video Pete glad to see you still have the gumption to get out there thanks looking forward to the next one
Very interesting and educational video. I have always been interested in 18th and 19th century frontier history. Well done.
Thank you sir.
