Especially on a weekend 🙏🏼

Agreed.❤

Yes

Indeede

It's a nice mental break for me, I'm no-contact with my mom (narcissistic and would verbally abuse me if she actually got to know me) and I'm weary of seeing Mother's Day advertisements all day. Townsends is so wholesome.

yikes!

I never knew I wanted this until now

Hell naw ain’t doin that

Bison* They're not technically buffalo.

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist9 He coming back then? Cos I've been watching my watch and tapping my foot for a while now, and frankly it seems rude at this point. He did promise to get back to us before the last of the generation who knew him had passed. Nearly two millenia late on that one. I don't claim to be the most reliable person in the world but I'd be feeling pretty ashamed if I was that remiss.

it's life, which is the unfortunate thing we forget amidst our modernity, we like to think our lives are so much different from theirs in the past, but there's so much we can learn from them

I thought it was "town send" like a mailman/courier or something haha, old English surname

Suburban dweller, Olde Yorkish yé gōd lad/las 😉

@@AldoSchmedack Townsend is a topographic surname of Yorkshire and Norfolk origin, indicating residence at the extremity of a city or burgh, i.e. on the edge of town, looking out on the wilderness. 🙂

Thanks, don’t know much about pioneer types in other countries but now I have a topic to research

Did they oppress indigenous people too? I’ll bet so!

Never heard of them but sounds cool. I got to admit, brazil is one of the countries i understand the least so thanks for your insight

They stole Indian land too? Like they are doing now in the Amazon. Yeah great men....

There was also the "tropeiros", also known as "carreteiros". They traveled the country with lots of carts ("tropas"), transporting food throughout the colony. In Brazil, there's a good number of "tropeiro" dishes that are still eaten to this day. From the dishes that are still eaten today, we see that their diet consisted mostly of dried meats and sausages.

I would too. He did a good cover on 1600-1700 medical care in St. Augustine FL, pretty cool.

true

Heroin and cocaine. The 19th Century medpack.

That would be a good video. It would be cool if they do an interview with a fellow 18th century enthusiast who specializes in medicine at the time and could talk about that. Of course, the difference between "folk medicine" and the horrific form of medicine that was practiced at the time would be night and day. It would be a time when some forms of folk medicine, especially those practiced by indigenous people, who had the traditional knowledge to know which plants could be used for certain things, was probably better than what was considered medicine by the average settler.

​@@stephenhancock1578oh right, I remember that one! They mentioned how Spanish medicine, insofar as it followed the Muslim traditions in medicine that they adopted, such as cleaning your instruments and washing your hands, was not too bad. But insofar as people adopted the humoral ideas about health, it was bad. Bleeding and leeches. Yeesh.

I barely survived a trip to Walmart this morning

@@patriciacampbell2821 lol

@@patriciacampbell2821 ROFL!

My great-grandmother had an incredibly difficult upbringing during the depression. She was in a family of ten kids and she had to start cooking from the age of five because her mother was slowly dying and her father would rather drink and cheat on her mother. Her uncles took her out into the garden and showed her which weeds you could make soup out of, and that’s what they ate (alongside whatever her brothers hunted and fished).She didn’t even have a coat or shoes to go to school in (and this was in brutal midwestern winters) until her teacher bought them for her. It stands to reason then that when she got older she was very possessive over what she had, and she wasted absolutely nothing (she would even wash and reuse Ziploc bags). She unfortunately died when I was very young. I could only imagine how many more stories she would have had.

@@terminallumbago6465 could you imagine being able to show them how life has changed , just take her to an all you can eat . Mind blown

Yeah, he's one of the best.

The Ojibwa also discovered and perfected Mahnomen (wild rice) that we can all thoroughly enjoy today. The best wild rice is the stuff I buy from tribes that's hand harvested and parched the old way. Absolutely fantastic. You must be from WI or MN?

Beans were the first crop to be cultivated by humans. They've been with us since the beginning.

​​@@ianfinrir8724 super easy to grow too, I'm constantly finding tons of wild peas. They are small and the pod is tough but the seed is sweet and slightly fruity.

Thank you for the feedback! Hope it added to your morning routine.

Agree, nice surprise for breakfast!

That almost sounds more like an allergic reaction. Even more deadly and much faster than an infection! The things we just shrug about now were deadly perils to people on the frontier.

it is a fake story, infections like that take HOURS to even begin to swell up and it then take HOURS for the area to grow in volume.

@@stickychocolate8155 No, it was an infection. I remember that quite clearly.

@@laggybum3218 sounds like reaction to a plant that probably causes reactions no way an infection grows like that within 30 mins. I’m calling bs sorry

@@laggybum3218 literally googled medical documents of infections and says usually 2 to 3 days from receiving a cut or laceration an infection can occur. Sounds like reaction probably allergic to me

Just don't eat too much at once. 10g and upwards you'll start feeling really weird ;)

​@@schwuzi Read a sci fi short story once where a cook did that once. All of the humans were affected by too much nutmeg as they were ingesting and the alien cook could not figure out why.

They are not Indians. You mean Native Americans

@@SamKennedy-fb5kk S N O W F L A K E A L E R T. They're still Indians. Not the dot kind, but the "woo woo" kind.

@@SamKennedy-fb5kk Besides, the Clovis Indians got here before they did and they were Celtic.

​@@SamKennedy-fb5kkthere are literally studies showing that there's about a 50/50 split in preference between the terms Indian and Native American amongst indigenous people of the USA.

@@squiddwizzard8850 I am Indian. Were we asked about our preferences?

I assumed they dressed the animals in similar outfits

It's a way better life, than this technology driven society we see today.........

@@HolyDiverBronco agreed, I literally got so bored of my computer and phone suddenly, I just felt disgusted with it and started just reading and it feels much slower and nicer especially spiritually being with myself

​@@HolyDiverBronco yeah until you die of dysentery at the ripe old age of 17

Do you guys think it's possible to live this life ? Modern society is so soulless and robotic

@@mlouis7 society isn't forced upon you. You don't live in some regime driven country where your every decision is dictated by some higher up. If you want to live this life, by all means you can. But not without some planning and lots of hard work, like all things in life

Aye, for me, my wish was for vast amounts of pasta.

I don't really get cravings on keto, but eventually something gets me... usually holiday food.

I wish I could have seen my home state of Washington before it was heavily settled. Until the late 1800s my hometown was almost entirely old growth, mainly cedar and they could be as much as 20ft in diameter. There were trees so large they'd take a crew days to cut down and longer to cut up into rounds, and it wasnt uncommon to see an entire train filled with timber from a single tree. Even into the 70s loggers considered 30-50 year old trees to be saplings and often didnt even bother cutting them down unless they were in the way. I've heard some similar stories of states like Tennessee and I assume Kentucky too, where the first settlers drove wagons through forests without issue because the trees were so large there was plenty of room to get wagons between the trunks.

I took American history when I was in high school. Thought it would be a more in depth study about stuff like this all the way to even the 1940s. Instead I got the Woodstock hippie new age era. Lets just say, I slept/did other homework during that class.

that's when Trader Joe's became popular

American chestnuts are largely gone, but they are not eradicated. Whether they will continue to survive remains to be seen. I'll be collecting two chestnut saplings in a few weeks and planting them in my yard. I hope they are successful.

@@meganlalli5450 Thank you for the information. I wonder if I could grow the trees here in the west. I own a private nature reserve on a big river. I am getting conservation status so the land will be secure, hopefully forever. No edible chestnuts have been grown in my area to the best of my knowledge.

The Voyageurs were in a different league than the American frontiersmen. I think in order to qualify for a full days wages, they had to be able to carry in excess of 200 lbs of pelts at a dead run. Those fancy belts they wore? Those weren't for decoration. Those guys were so herniated from carrying all that weight, they used those belts to keep their guts from falling out.

Same with places like the Pacific Northwest. Trailblazing can be a nightmare since the brush can get so thick thanks to all the rain, and the rot resistant branches and litter from the native plants can make it so there can be a foot or more of littler between what looks like the ground and is actually ground with brush growing above that, it's not uncommon for you to sink past your knees in litter and with plants like wild blackberries growing through some of the litter it can tie you up and make you feel more like you're treading through quicksand then a forest. Not impossible but without paths or roads it can be exhausting just walking through it and it doesnt help that places like Western Washington can have rolling rather steep hills so for every 100ft of linear distance you walk you may end up hiking up 20 feet, down 20 feet, up 30 feet, and down 10 feet. If you were an explorer or frontiersman going through there and didnt have deer paths or paths cleared by natives to travel on it would be exhausting, especially with a pack.

I was excited, too! The Scots-Irish are tough!

same. I hated most of the subjects in school including history and English, but after i graduated I realized i didnt hate the subjects so much as the teachers and terrible lesson plans. As an adult I love history and I'm a bit of a etymology nerd as well as an avid reader. A good teacher can make a world of difference with a kid though, through elementary school i scored low in reading and writing, nearly got me held back a year, but that was until the 5th grade when i finally got a decent teacher who made me realize I didnt hate reading so much I hated the books previous teachers forced me to read and he was the first teacher to actually try and find a book I'd like.
