    At 67 years of age, I have done a bit of the type of camping you did in this episode and I can tell you make me envious that I am not still doing it. I have watched all of your episodes and this is my favorite so far. I love them all, but this one made me long for a few cold weather nights in the woods.

    Went for a walk in the falling snow this afternoon, gathering Douglas-fir tips as I passed through my neighbors' woods. Came home and brewed a pot of Douglas-fir tea, sat down at the computer and found this video recommended (first of yours I've seen.) I was delighted when you brewed cedar tea and started talking about the history. I'll have to gather some cedar on a hike soon!

    This brought to mind of a float trip down the Chattahoochee river when I was in the Army one late fall.
    We just brought very basic gear (although modern except for my black powder double shotgun... Before my buckskinning days). We hunted during the day bringing only a few vegetables, onions and potatoes with us from home. I got a rabbit and a duck. Cooked the rabbit on a spit and baked the duck in the ground. Our Sgt Major got a buck deer and we had smoked backstrap, duck and rabbit feast enough for our entire six man party. It was a memorable trip. Thanks for the memory.

    My grandfather was from the Pubnicos in NS and used to tell my father about extended hunting trips, which I heard about secondhand. Sometimes he went with his brothers, sometimes with a MiqMaq or a Frenchman. I heard that worked better because each group had a different take on what to do and how to do it.

Had to boil my canteen and put it by my feet and wear all my layers I gained alot of respect for the pioneers who had to endure canadian winter must have been some of the toughest people on earth

    Yes, do it like they had to do or at least see what we would have to do to keep out of the elements. Everything is manual labor. Getting water food and making a shelter with heat. Lots of tinder to get a fire going. Dutch oven, if you are wealthy. Food will last for weeks. Making the shelter air tight is not so easy, maybe with a lot of time and some mud. I have found that wood catches fire easily with some tinder and used candle wax.

    I find this FASCINATING! Thank you Peter for your sharing with us SUCH a UNIQUE insight into the past. Talk about DETERMINATION and love of yesteryear! I say it's better to go back than to live in our mess of today. Eventually, we will 'all' have to go back to the land. We have pert near ruined everything and poisoned ourselves to the max with 'innovations' = Yikes! My beloved hub left early in '14 and so I had to decide where I was going to continue the rest of my life. QC called, as I had relatives and friends established there/here. My youngest son went on a vacation with me to; I'lle D'Orleans, in 2018. We were at; Holy Family Presbytery, getting a history rundown of the island. On a walkabout in the nearby cemetery, my son called me to 'Come and see.' What I saw was a memorial stone to the founding families of the island. On it was clearly marked the name of my Great, Great, Great...(I mean he was GREAT) Grandfather, who is noted to have landed in 1636. It sent a chill down my spine. I felt very connected to 'my choice' of settling in QC. Perhaps we are not as 'independent' as we think...perhaps we are being influenced by many from our past. I watch you and think; Perhaps he (grandfather) would have done the same thing. It inspires me. God Bless you n' yours! :)

    Intro, amazing. Facing difficulties, you say: “ bring it on”. But, you know, if you wouldn’t put yourself out so far, you wouldn’t have 600,000 viewers! And growing. You amazing

    Our flintlock season starts after Christmas. This makes me want to trek my way through the first few days.

      I too am a Pa flintlock hunter. The problem is PA doesn’t allow overnight camping and fires on game lands . Only fires for cooking and and warming. . It’s in the hunting regs . You can make fires on forest land but starting in May. .

    Enjoy every bit of history you cover. Your shelter is practical and shows the effort needed to make it. I have watched some people making an elaborate shelter and think too many calories being burned for the return. Yours was well thought out and put together. And now to go to my apple tree and pick some old apples. Thanks again.

      Your in for a treat with the frozen apples. One week out there you find out how important conserving one’s energy is.

    I do multi day hiking/camping trips. Whatever I can carry is what I take and one thing you learn quickly is how heavy water is.

      It is indeed Tom. I use an extra wide strap on most of my trekking canteens.

    Thanks for sharing and educating us with your endeavors. I have had the pleasure of spending time in Quebec, Ontario, BC and a day in the Yukon. The Canadian perspective of North American history is very much appreciated. Be safe and thanks again for sharing.

      Thank you Joe. If it were not family living in Ontario, my wife and I would move to the Yukon … we love it up there.

    Thank you for sharing - my late uncle took me to two Rendezvous meetings when I was a young man and the lasting impression they left turned into a lifelong interest. Much respect from the UK. Best wishes to you and yours for a healthy and prosperous New Year !
