This is exactly what I’ve been waiting and looking for. I cannot express how much I appreciate and respect what you are doing and sharing with us all. These words aren’t much reciprocation for the gift you’re giving to our lives but I hope they manage to give back a fraction of the sentiments you’ve selflessly and generously bestowed upon us for free

What a delight to watch a man just be.

That's my cup of tea!

How refreshing it is to watch how it was done back in time without having to hear a lot of talking. looking forward to more videos. it would be nice in the written area to list what your gear was and what you cooked.

I love the format, very informative and done in the manner of the 1700's. In my earlier years I use to go to all the Rendezvous and did camp outs and primitive shoots. Thanks for taking the time to allow us to travel along with you on your journey....

I love all of your videos

👍 Danke fürs Hochladen! 👍 Thanks for uploading! 👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you! 👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!

I stumbled into this channel at one of the last videos you posted, the "Where do we sleep?" one and have been working my way backwards. You have done an really good job presenting life in the 18th and I am glad you decided to share. While I've seen the outfit in several other videos, it wasn't until this one that I realized you have no pants on! lol. Those leggings are very cool. I suspect in more ways than aesthetic. Fine garb!! Glad to see people using the gear and not just putting on fashion shows.

What a man What a man What a man!!! As a rule, I just can't stand people eating but it was a pleasure to watch you eat. Love you

Hi Peter. After watching you video about Grey Owl, I thought I’d set about watching your films from the beginning. I’ve just finished watching this first one and what a delight it was! So nice to just watch and take notice of what you were doing and how you went about it without a narrative explaining the obvious. Looking forward to working my way up the list. Kind regards, Mark

Ok! Tnx!!!

Fabulous

thanks

Thank you so much for the wealth of information and real use guide of how things are/were done not so long ago. I just found your videos and plan to view them all.

Your attire is awesome

Love!! Very very Happy to meet You!

Looks pretty peaceful....

This i9s the first time watching episode #1 I am hooked on your authenticity to detail. Although I can not recreate the times you do it gives me great pleasure in watching you to allow us to travel back in time to when thingts were tougher but simpler. Thank You.

What a great trek and video. Thanks for sharing 👍

Awesome video

Enjoyed your journey to a special place. Could not be with you but lived the experience through your video.

My god u forgot me but u don't have to come back, I am going to stay here, at least in my mind. Thank you

Excellent video, thanks for the info and taking me along!

Loved every minute of this. Very relaxing and informative without a word spoken! Love the canoe!

Great video!

WELL DONE!!! I don’t have a problem with your silence as it would seem being alone as you are and in new territory you need to be vigilant because you may run into hostiles. In the future you may have a prologue and/or epilogue that might explain your gear and technique. I am very happy with your work!!! Like everyone else, I look forward to MORE!!!

Just found out about your channel from Crown Land Camping Ontario. My friend and I met you at Puzzle back in sep 2020. I'll have to start binge watching!

Peter what a great video. The birch bark canoe is great along with your camp set up. One of my questions is: What wood/sticks did you use while cooking the venison? Don't you have to worry about imparting a different flavor to the meat that might be bitter. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication!

Wow! Your channel was suggested by Danny at Deepsouth Homestead. I can already tell that I will enjoy your content. The best place to start is the beginning.

That Canoe is the Greatest Canoe🛶

it was back then that women would churn butter for hours without 1 bigfoot podcast..lol im subbed and starting with this video..

Dang! BEAUTIFUL! The call of those loons was just heavenly!!! I have had a Jim Chambers flintlock kit since 2006 that I need to finish!!! Been wanting to do this since forever but life keeps getting in the way! I pray to do this kind of thing soon!

Thank you , can't wait to see more

i watch your vids every night love em thanks i learn lots va mt man out

What an excellent video introducing us to your channel! I think I will be watching all of your uploads for the week to keep up with your new ones. Once again, thank you for sharing with us this path through the 1700's history.

Thanks for the great video my friend 👍

Just stumbled upon your channel. Subscribed within the first 10 minutes. Really interesting to see how people lived 200+ years ago.

Great video man . Thank you and greetings from Morocco . I suscribe your channel .

Very nice work on that canoe , Ive been wanting to build one myself to take a second trip on the northern forest canoe trail. I did it years ago with modern gear but i want to have that feeling of traveling these waterways the way our ancestors did .

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to watching more.

Man you make a success to anything you turn your hand to awsome 👌

Very well done.

Have you ever heard of the booklet or audio version, "An English Family in an American Wilderness"? Memoirs of early 1800s. Excellent.

Definitely tell when someone enjoys what they are doing

Great video! Well done sir! Love that canoe!

Fantastic video, really enjoyed it.

wow, that is some canoe!!

Great video. I hunt in that style. But have not yet done an overnight. Inspiring

I could not hear the intro with my volume all the way up and the closed caption was not on so I missed your intro and all you shared. The rest of the video was excellent and I look forward to more. In Joy

Mr. Kelly, let my start by thanking and commending you for sharing this content with all of us. It's a beautiful journey you have set on and I'm honored to be tagging along with you. I'm curious what region of North America you are in? New England? Eastern seaboard of Canada? The terrain looks very familiar to me and I am a New England native. Thank you

Great video. A lot of guys talk a good bushcraft experience, but you actually go out and live it. Keep up the good work. John from Ohio.

It Shure is a beautiful place it looks like it would be easy not to go back

those howlers know good coffee when they smell it.

Great video! I’ll be joining you for the journey back in time 😁👍

my name is Trish good morning I love your videos you do very good work I love watching your videos í never see your wife your always alone where is she when your away

Very interesting - look forward to future installments!

I really enjoyed the video. I'm active in living history and black powder hunting. Started with the fur trade mountain men. The Long Hunter is my focus now. Please do a video about your kit and your sleeping setup.

Incredible job and wish I was there to share it. Adirondacker at heart. Perhaps a video on foods you ate and the prep involved

I really enjoyed this video. I practice living history in Maine. I was wondering where you are located, that is beautiful country. You don’t need to be specific, just a state or province. You are doing great stuff. I just discovered you today . I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. Thank you for sharing

One of my favourite videos on your channel. Did you make your lean to tarp as well? What's your solution when it's bug season? Thanks for your inspiration.

As a forester and geologist, I know that there is a feeling a man gets when he knows he is where he is supposed to be at that moment, equipped with gear of his own manufacture, and comfortable in the environment he is in. It's as if we just fit somehow. Forests are our home, as Canadians, and the tools we need to live there are pretty basic, an axe, a knife, a few sheets of fabric for various uses, a pot or two...and we have lost the skills that are necessary to live this way. In this fast paced world we have created, just sitting by a fire, whittling with a knife, cooking a slab of meat, or what have you...is a foreign concept. And now? The present world seems to be at risk. We are endebted up to the eyeballs, as Canadians and as a country, food prices are sky rocketing, fuel likewise, and the foreign wars are on our televisions. Our government seems to be preoccupied by odd problems that require more gun laws, or squandering taxes on wasted covid shots and payouts. Does life need to be so complicated or are we all just trying to get back to the garden? The Japanese use a phrase called Shin-ri-yoku, or translated as "forest bathing", to explain why humans need forests to maintain their sanity and health. I agree with them, not because of all the science they tout to support their argument, but because of how forests make me feel. Breathe in that piney air, and see how it makes you feel. Try to just be. Learn a few bush skills like making snowshoes, or a birchbark canoe, or a scandi knife, or starting a fire with flint and steel, cooking over an open fire, using a reflector oven...try to escape into the woodland if only for a moment. Try to picture yourself at ease pulling a toboggan as you snowshoe and camp in the winter. Solve problems as they arise and don't stress out over what might happen. I worked in the bush, in forestry and mining exploration, which sort've spoiled the wonder of it all. It took some effort to stop myself from looking for ore bodies or cubic meters of merchantable timber while I was surrounded by the sheer beauty of the creation, but I did it. Learning how to shoot black powder helped, as did a Tom Brown Jr. bushcraft course. Watching this channel, the Woodland Escape, just reminds me of what I have felt in the bush on occasions when I relaxed enough to allow it, when the worlds of bad news, global warming, high tech and AI, are far enough away not to affect me. Perhaps the cure for cultural ptsd is building a birchbark canoe and paddling it through a forest.

Love it! New subscriber here.

Nice video Peter. Beautiful surroundings!!

Really informative. 👍 Just found your channel - subscribed.

I like your coffee kettle. 👍😁 Self made?

Great video man, wish it was 2 hours long I could watch this all day. Surprised u didn't have a tomahawk tucked in your sash tho. My favorite video on utube now 👍👍

Peace of mind🏕🛶🌛

❤😊😊

Thank God there is still locations you can do this. There’s way too many selfish land owners now.

Some of the c17th hat fashions wher really outlandish like the hat at 08:24

👍👌✋

Would you show the pack that used in this episode? It resembles the new invented pack from the late 18th century. Love you videos.

Very nice video. You put a lot of work in your wilderness gear. Have you ever mixed your corn meal up with hot water? I prefer using hot water over cold. Makes a great batter for frying.

Thank you very much for taking the time to film and post this video! I'm looking forward to seeing more. OBTW, where are you filming this? Beautiful Country! Be Safe & Stay Healthy!

Gorgeous and peaceful video! What is the fiddle peice at the beginning of the video?

Love it Thank You :)

Nicely done, well spoken, just subscribed. Did you notice the critter sleeping in your bedroll? He scurries off at 58:10 as you are rolling it up...lol.

Alone? So... who filmed you?

Cool video, papa. What were the things you ate?

Love your videos so much to learn , just out of curiosity do you know how much you canoe weighs ?

Sorry I'm straining to hear you.........LOVE THIS THO !

Watched again, very interesting and educational. Curious about your head gear worn here and other episodes. Could you share at some point a we bit of history about it?

Nice work Peter. The canoe looks beautiful in the water. It handles great in the footage you have taken. How much does it weigh? Look forward to seeing more videos.

Good morning sir, that scarf styled cap with the (trade silver?) clothing pins in it...how did you go about making that and sourcing the pins. Man, that’s just the style of doo rag I’m looking for. Thank you, sir!

Вашим режиссёрам снимающим о "том" времени, нужно у Вас консультироваться в плане быта, одежды... Очень интересно!

Sir you are the Canadian Dave Cranbury of bushcraft

This is just amazing. What was that flour? Oh my word the trousers are open 😁 interesting

Did you film this during hunting season? Don't you have to wear blaze orange in Ontario? Not criticizing, just curious. I am also in Ontario and am interested in black powder hunting, that's why I ask. Really loved the video, that canoe is spectacular.

Just discovered your channel. Since it seems interesting, I start from the beginning. You introduce yourself as alone in the wilderness. Question : who's holding the camera ?

Sir, really like your videos, could you tell me what is the name of the tune at the beginning of your videos? Thank You Sir

hark no life vest back then but i think the deer hide vest with hollow hair they wore might have worked as one ? some might of had a dry small log in the boat to floot on if turned over? do you know ?

Frybread. Nuff said

So you have an awesome program I've only watched a couple of your shows but I just wanted to say hi and tell you that I tried hard all my life to live that lifestyle but it wasn't tell about 1994 that I went to my first rendezvous it was on the Wisconsin River in Wausau Wisconsin firn iland! I love The Birch canoe always wanted one your program is awesome most of us can't achieve that goal .I tan and Smith en much more! We built our first Log Cabin as teenagers without permission imagine the trouble we got into cutting all those trees down and a big cabin without a building permit even back in about 1970 Wisconsin had building permits and he was a bootlegger so he cut it up for firewood eventually Mister eduard Dietl I still have a picture somewhere of that cabin with me with a hunting knife in my mouth

Very nice. Would love to build a canoe. Is there any wildlife where you are at?

I have a question. What is your head covering called? I am a welder by trade and I wear head coverings to keep sparks out . But if I had one like that It would be awesome

Have to ask: where do you find the mini-penannular brooches/blanket pins?

So well done. Please tell.me where you obtained your shelter. Looks like a Whelan but I suspect is not?

It would be great if you could explain what you are doing and why during your videos

what cal is the flint lock how likn is that?

This looks like a great channel. Just subbed. But I think your recording volume is very low.
