Thank you for this glimpse into 19th century bro-bonding in the woods. I've been reading "Hardtack And Coffee" by Billings (1888), and it reported how unencumbered lightweight marching/camping took over during the civil war. Everybody tossed un-needed stuff and covered miles when their lives and tired feet were threatened, and they learned a whole lot in the process. It makes sense to me that Civil War vets would find themselves drawn to getting out and reliving that life in a recreational setting later in their lives. There is indeed something transformative about roughing it on purpose. You find out so much about yourself! I'm looking forward to reading Gould's book. It might help me to understand why I feel driven to long distance backpack at the fragile age of 62. (I'm starting an attempted Appalachian Trail thru-hike next month, and I'm now totally immersed in gearing up and pre-hike exercising. Here we are watching these guys choosing to have a similar experience with equipment that would scare the wits out of me. It makes me think that I'm going on some kind of joyride!)
@KennethKramm9 жыл бұрын
+mikelisacarb Thanks, Gould's book is very formative. Also read about John Muir's 1000 mile walk from the north to the gulf of Mexico .... immediately after the Civil War. He promised his mother that he would camp the way we demonstrated (at farmer's houses) ...rather than being isolated in the woods. Most nights, he spent the way way did ....

I've done early 19th century wilderness primitive camping for 40 years mostly in the Sierras and Rocky Mountains using mostly the same materials used by the old timers and Indians. I never really considered camping on a farmer's land, but I guess in the more populated east, that was common practice. I've never had the benefit of borrowing tools, eggs or collard greens while on the trail. Parched corn and jerked beef were staples, but with a snare or dead fall trap you could sometimes supplement your diet with squirrel or rabbit. When near lakes or streams, fish was a nice meal. In season berries were a treat. An 8 foot square tarp and a bedroll were my basic shelter and bedding. A heavy Bowie Knife served for chopping wood and a flint and steel for starting fires. My camp sites didn't look all that different for yours, but I was clothed in brain tan buckskin or wool with a linen shirt and hand made moccasins. There a real satisfaction in minimalist wilderness camping. I'm getting too old to do it in the snow any more, but come spring I'll be hitting the trail when I can.

Bob and I had an awesome weekend... but exhausting, because the shots needed to be taken from different angles. Have a good week ahead, my friend. ...ken
