Thanks for the run down, a versatile bit of gear….👍

Well,sometimes cold steel is better than a hot barrell

I wonder if you can use homemade poke berry ink in a fountain pen with a converter.

Looks warm and toasty

Great video. Where can i get one of these blanket coats.

If you put alcohol in it, it dries faster and keeps for a long time

My neighbor uses her fireplace a lot in the winter, is the soot in her chimney the same? :)

A tinta que você quer fazer chama-se "Nanquim" que tem uma alta duração e o que está faltando é goma arábica e álcool para misturar bem a goma arábica a fuligem .

Is there still water in the barrel when you open it months later?

I love salt pork, hard to get now.

Is that Chum Lee? 🤔

What a great video! Thanks

Don't mean to be rude but, you need more blanket or to lose some belly fat! Just saying that a vital part of your lower body is going to really get cold!

There's still a kind of salt cured pork at many stores that is basically the exact same as the old stuff except it has just enough salt to preserve it but not so much you have to pre-soak it to make it palatable. On occasion i'll buy it to make lobscouse.

Excellent video. I've made my own salt pork before, and it was excellent to cook with. I love it with collard greens or butter beans. I've not experimented with using salt pork as a field provision, but if I had to, I would trust it -- as long as I had packed it myself! There were times when soldiers were so desperately hungry and so exhausted that they would simply eat the salt pork as it was -- no preparation whatsoever. (For this reason, salt pork, which was tender, was preferred over tough salt beef.)

Fascinating .

This is bullshit. You people are fucking lying and you know you’re fucking lying. You’re just trying to sell yourselves.

Again, thanks for being a teacher.

I was a student of yours and I appreciate your choice to continue educating. Merry life to you and yours!

So nice to hear wool being talked about

What a wonderful video recollecting some of the highlights of the Center. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us. 👍👍👍👍👍

The sailing ships of old - which had no refrigeration to speak of - also relied on barrels and barrels of salt pork and beef to feed the crew with. The term "old salt" to refer to an experienced sailor probably has to do with the salinity of the oceans on which they sailed, but I also like to think it has at least a little to do with the steady consumption of salted pork and beef in their diet. Anyway, great video and very informative. Thanks for the upload.

Descendant of John Shields. It continues to be a family name, at least we have that.

Thanks for the video it was very interesting 🥰😘 Great looking Coat 😍

get a fuking mic and do it right

Could have just used salted pork pieces as bait for larger game! Out in the wilderness during those early years, would not have been long until a grizzly or black bear had come along.

This isn't Pavarotti...

4:07, Buffalo? No, they are Bison a completely different species. There have never been Buffalo in this hemisphere. Buffalo are in Africa, the Cape Buffalo, in Asia known as Water Buffalo. So, why do folks call our Bison Buffalo, monkey hear monkey repeat, all without researching what they are repeating.

Thx for sharing this. 👍👍👍👍👍

Congratulations!

Loved the interview, she’s a sweetheart. So good to hear that they lovingly volunteered together.

Thats not a coat, thats 100% Ben. Rawr 🐻‍❄

Ben!!! Weve been waiting for you on World of Warcraft for over an hour! We need our Dwarf Chieftan or we cant max xp on the next dungeon mission. Beeeeeeennnnnnnn!!!!!!!!

I trust this man on the topic of salted pork. 🏆

YORK, YOU ARE REMEMBERED... 🙏👍 it wasn't In vain, Sir...

Ty, excellent !!! know that (l & c) felt some type a way w/ the amazement of York to the Natives... Especially, clark boiled his buttons... So ignorant of clark to write of York that his services to him or Expedition was not that great of service, to permit York his freedom on that alone... Bull~sh*t, York's services were greater on all levels than (l or c) periodt, especially many saves from Natives (l &c) encountered... Smh... Selfish bastard, was jealous...

Ben, your videos are so informative. I enjoy seeing the period-style clothing and settings. Many thanks for the research that clearly goes into them--I always take away useful details about the Corps of Discovery. What a fascinating episode in America's history!

Bless these individuals for their foresight and beliefs.

William Clark is my ancestor

Very interesting and well done. That ancestor of yours was quite the character. 😆

thanks

Thanks. I know the ink oxidizes and eventually turns black. Hence why the Declaration of Independence is black. I never knew how to actually make this ink. Glad to learn here. Thanks again.

also in that letter Clark emphasized that York be sold down the river to an evil master / horrible plantation in new orleans to make his life living hell you left that part out .

That is too cool

👍👍👍👍👍 Thx for sharing.

Very stark sound quality. The microphone needs to be much closer to the speaker. The room needs carpeting or a large rug to deaden the echo. Please remove this video, fix it and repost. Thanks.

Unfortunately it's not light fast so it will fade, but that can be solved by putting your artwork under uv protective glass or keeping it out of the light.

Natives used this berry to dye cloth and leather blue or indigo.

It would be fun to use for painting too!
