Welcome to The Woodland Escape - A channel dedicated to demonstrating the skills of the North American pioneers in the 1700’s including log cabin building, primitive shelters, birch bark canoe building, tanning hides, blacksmithing, food gathering, and preservation, foraging for wild edibles, hunting and fishing , tool making and their use.
Peter attempts to portray the day to day life of the common person, on the frontier in North America. The pioneers gained a lot from the teachings of the indigenous peoples, including the building of birch bark canoes. In this video, Peter portrays a solo hunter as he paddles into the wilderness in search of new hunting ground (circa 1750's). Peter had spent the summer building a birch bark canoe form materials in the forest. This is her maiden voyage. He sets off carrying only supplies that would have been available in the time period. He paddles and portages, sets up a primitive shelter, starts fire with flint and steel, roasts coffee beans and cooks venison on an open fire.
