Shadows in the Forest, 18th Century Wear

[@oldigger7060]

The wool blanket leggings look like a great idea! Even if they are too hot for daytime use, they could help keep you warm at night.

[@Tgauchsin]

I’ve binge watched your series today. Love it!

[@jacqueline7118]

Wonderful job on the video! Thanks for sharing!

[@Taromovies]

Very cool and interesting trip in to the past, take care Taro

[@Snowalker13]

Great on the shelter half, thanks for your support as well!

[@moorshound3243]

great vid, love your hound just mooching about the place!!

[@nathan42304]

We appreciate you takin the time out of your life to help us learn thank you

[@MrDavidlee11]

Love the video hope to see more soon....

[@rs-bi8yf]

Always enjoyable . I have watched your videos over and over . thank you

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks for your support bro!

[@Snowalker13]

Whoa me too bro, I look forward to hearing some ideas as well, that damn hunting shirt took me 32 hrs. to sew by hand...Glad you liked it the show!.

[@Snowalker13]

He's an Alaskan Malamute, and you should find a reputable breeder not a puppy mill. If you don't have experience with a smart, stubborn and sometimes obstinate and exercise heavy breed that demands attention, love and understanding you should read up on them. What I mean is that they are not a good first dog. I don't know your experience so please don't take it the wrong way, just giving you brief info for thought. Thanks for watching, and good luck

[@seandahl8441]

I love your shadows of the forest series. This is the 3rd-4th time watching the series

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks man much appreciated

[@DinglePrep]

I have watched all of the shadows of the forest series so far and I love it!! This is one of my favourite videos in the series so far, you are very knowledgable in my book. Love how you show that the Longhunters where not just guys who got paid to shoot but they where a community, and they enjoyed every part of the outdoors life and you show here that they had skills in everything and made the clothing their own with their own mark. Great series keep them coming!! Dan

[@Snowalker13]

That's appreciated Dan glad you like it new stuff coming however other things as well for winter! Please stop by often!

[@sargefaria]

By far, your best video IMO bro.....vey, very well done! Brilliant actually!

[@Grant5272]

Excellent series of videos. I've enjoyed everyone of them, keep them coming. A beautiful dog you have there.

[@survivorman73pp]

Right on Shadows of the Forest is back. Been waiting anxiously for more videos. Don't sell yourself short, just keep on living and loving the history brother. Your series has inspired myself and my brother to walk the woods as the long hunters did before us. Your intro song ," Shadows in the Forest," has built a fire in our hearts to learn the old ways. Thank you and God speed!

[@toddfarrington19]

love the fire lighting intro to this. awesome

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks..

[@SKILLET210]

'mornin, Brian & Pup; Great to see you back,have missed your videos.looking forward to the next video.Pup sure likes to be on camera.lol Stay Safe & Happy In The Woods Happy Trails From The Maritimes In Canada

[@PrimalEdge]

great video. awesomely produced, and loved the content! having that gorgeous dog, was a good touch. Can't wait for the next episode

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks Skillet will try to make these a little more historical and informational thanks for watching, the pup is a mooch don't let those eyes fool ya!

[@Tgauchsin]

18th century long hunter list discussed: ~Felt hat (edge steamed, band added) ~Bandana/neckerchief (for neck or head) ~Common linen/linsie-woolsie shirt ~Fringed hunting shirt ~leather ring belt ~cotton sash belt ~belt knife ~drop front breeches/knee breeches ~wool or leather leggings garter attached to thong around waistline ~Flat shoe, puck toe/center seam moccasins ~garter belts around leggings

[@christopherbennett4559]

I go back to this video alot through the years. I think you are spot on. All we can do is research and think how it was back then. Also we live the long hunter life every day we make our clothes and gear and that is how we get period correct or close to it. The main thing is we live outdoors and spend time with what O Great Spirit made all that is nature 4 winds seasons etc. Great video thanks God bless. 👍

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks man its appreciated

[@Snowalker13]

Comfort is loose and great, wish the made drop front pants today lol, the only clothing I did not make was the breeches, the hat, and the sox. The fringed hunting shirt took 32 hrs to sew

[@snaponjohn100]

I agree with the others. It was your best video ever Brian. God bless. John

[@richardhummell2497]

Very well done! Very informative. Thank you so much. Glad to see you back at it. Bravo Longue Carabine! Keep on keeping on! Rick

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks Brother Rick!

[@homesteadinarental]

[@Snowalker13]

Glad you liked it brother. Thanks for the props! Yes I did well at the trapping class Dave likes to see his Instructors do wel.

[@Bushcraftnbaseball]

As always great video. In my opinion you the man on youtube for bushcraft/survival/longhunter. The new intro is sweet. Keep up the good work my man.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Highly interesting look at clothing and clothing construction. Thanks for sharing!

[@Snowalker13]

Glad you're enjoying the series

[@KorumEmrys]

Another Great Video!!! Glad I subscribed!! Maybe I am going deaf though as the volume even turned up full on my end seemed very low until about 7 min in.... Great Work!!!

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks, got this hat at Dixsons Muzzleloading shop in PA.

[@chertmonkey2368]

Glad you're back Brian, great video, you make a good teacher! got to try and make me a pair of those leggings.

[@robertchilders4031]

Nice video. Thanks very much for sharing.

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks for watching!

[@Snowalker13]

Hey Tito! Always grateful for your support, interest, and your videos as well peace out bro!!

[@Snowalker13]

And thank you for your support, I don't know about the volume though I don't have that problem on this end? Glad you enjoyed it though.

[@AnthonyJones-zo7dy]

Great stuff... Yes, I have the Mark Baker's videos regarding Longhunter, and some others with regard to Mountain Man (Rockies Fur Trade)... grew up in the areas the longhunter's roamed and cut my 'baby' teeth on that era (especially the trials and tribulations of George Rogers Clark - who's accomplishments got overshadowed by his baby brother, William with the Lewis and Clark expedition)... went to school out in Colorado and grew into the Mountain Man era... so torn between both and love the adaptations taken by each. It's fun.. and you're doing a great job. Like you (and most that are wiling to admit it) - we're all still learning, still trying, and still figuring it all out. Sometimes 'smoothing' it with modern equipment... and then go back to 'smoothing' it with the 'earlier' eras... It's all GREAT! fun... and it gets our butts off the easy chairs and out and about... All the VERY BEST! ... Mountain Man Indy - or ~Indy for short

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Indy! Yes it's a great hobby experimental archeology I love delving and going deeper into history. Please stop back often and add some history if you like thanks!

[@Snowalker13]

Thank you for your support!

[@rickgolden9220]

I just stumbled onto this channel. I’ve always been interested in this. I’ve been wondering how warm a deerskin hunting shirt would be like a pull over shirt. I’m glad there is a channel like this. Good Job!!!!

[@DanglinDanger91]

Thanks! I do volunteer work with large breed animal shelters, have not yet had the pleasure of working with an Alaskan Malamute, I've seen them in pictures and on the internet but did not know they grew that big! Thanks for the reply, looking forward to more of your videos!

[@55Quirll]

I have had a snow dog when I was younger - 64 now - and the Samoyed was great, didn't want to come in out of the cold or when it was snowing. I like watching these videos and see how the people of the past were able to get bay on less than we do today. They didn't have the redundancy that many advice you have, but I am trying to see how little I can get by on and still be comfortable. I have no desire to carry the whole house, just what I would need, a lot like Nesmuk. Keep the videos and advice coming, I really enjoy videos like these.

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks for your support

[@TomsBackwoods]

excellent! Thanks for all your efforts!

[@Snowalker13]

Thank you for watching!

[@Bassmint44]

Great Video! Thanks for the inspiration...you are definitley good enough to be a re-enactor! I was on KZbin researching how to make buckskin pants when I came across your videos! I am glad I found your series! I'll keep watching as a way to research the same passion that you have! Be Well my friend and Thank you!

[@Snowalker13]

+Kurt Morrow Hey great man! Thanks very much for stopping in yes I actually have built a good name at Prickett's Fort, Fort Ti, Martins Station and Boonesborough to name a few. Hope you subscribed I have a lot more coming as it is a long running series! Take care.

[@Snowalker13]

Hey thank you for taking the time to watch my vids and wanting to learn as well. It's appreciated.

[@Snowalker13]

They work perfect for fall and winter, just make sure they're dry before turning in when possible

[@themoodybobby1]

Enjoyed start to finish

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks very much for that bro! As far as a Whelan this is what I could find quick, Colonel Townsend Whelen designed a tent he called the “Hunters lean-to Tent” in 1925. David Abercrombie (of Abercrombie and Fitch fame)manufactured the style and marketed it as the “Whelen lean- to”. It has been called the Whelen ever since.

[@cowboy477989]

Great video.

[@DeadEyeRabbit]

yup we hope you continue along too. and keep posting the vids. good stuff man.

[@owsleyhunter2757]

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks much for that I'm trying to make my own gear as much as possible when I can, I have two friends who are excellent re-enactors and students of history which greatly help, a lot of times the answer I get is make it yourself, no you don't need walnut dye! lol

[@billyjoedenny]

[@Naturliebe]

Great video as always, Brian. Love the intro man. Yeehaw shadows in the forest is back. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Lots of knowledge and a lot info about the history. Thank you for your effort. I stick to you like a shadow. :-D haha And I'm looking forward to the next video. All the best, brother. ☮ Tito

[@Snowalker13]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@christopherbennett4559]

Not a rennactor. Looks like you doing good to me. I like you don't know all about the long hunter but I am trying . Great details and explaining what you are wearing thanks.

[@Snowalker13]

Good luck in your further research for sure!

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Nice gear. How are the fit and comfort and did you make all of the clothes? Thanks and keep doing what you do exact period or not it is interesting.

[@FrontierLegacy]

Good to see you back with this, Brian. =)

[@victorcastle1840]

Thanks for the video, Something not covered much is there clothing on most videos, definitely will follow this series.

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@MrJedral]

Godd you are back with Shadows in the Forest

[@kents.2866]

An old video by this point in time. But I would say you do have what it takes to make a great living historian. You have a lot of passion for getting things right and historical research. From what I can see a couple of minor adjustments to your kit and you would be good to go.

[@Snowalker13]

I appreciate that!

[@Ka666Boom]

welcome back into the Shadows !!!!!!!!

[@Snowalker13]

Bobby!!!!! I hope you like two tone shirts?

[@CWintheWC]

Glad you're back.

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks bro trying !

[@Snowalker13]

Thank you!

[@Snowalker13]

thanks John!!

[@Snowalker13]

Yeah he's a happy boy!

[@longtrekker]

Where did you get your hat from,great vid.

[@Snowalker13]

Gonna try my best to catch up bro!

[@Fireinahorn]

Good stuff!

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks man!

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

(You are a re-enactor.) It's all a learning process. But just because one does not have every aspect down just right does not mean that he or she is not a re-enactor. I did Mountain Man rendezvous 4 years. And I'm still learning things. It did not keep me from being considered a re-enactor. I know that since this video you have come a very long way. But even in this video you have shared much. I believe that once a person has the passion 4 re-enacting and start pursuing re-enacting, that person becomes a re-enactor. God bless you and keep up the great work!

[@Snowalker13]

Thank you very much Steven

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks bro always appreciated!

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks very much

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks it's good to be back...

[@steveroush4147]

I noticed your knife sheath... I have also seen it with a large sliced piece on the side that some put their belt through to better hold it. If you know of what I speak could you tell me at about what date people started using this type of sheath ?

[@Snowalker13]

fur trade era seems to be about right

[@chrisnewport7826]

Thanks

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks Morg

[@Snowalker13]

You're welcome glad you did!

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks for watching!

[@dldove22]

The "bellows" under the arm is actually called a gusset. 😊

[@MickeyCuervo36]

Did pants of the period have pockets? I know they didn't have belt loops, just some buttons for suspenders maybe. I've been trying to find some button fly jeans to either modify or get a pattern off of, but they aren't exactly in style lol

[@Snowalker13]

Yes front pockets, suspenders were rare and NEVER seen

[@Snowalker13]

Thanks I appreciate it!

[@FrontierLegacy]

Been worth the wait. =)

[@huntarrobinson6681]

Have you heard of New England Colonial Living History Group 1680-1760? If not, I would recommend looking up their forum, its full of period research.

[@DanglinDanger91]

Great video, love the gear and your dog is so beautiful, What is it? and where can I get one?

[@sargefaria]

Yup....how bout them SOX! Again awesome video bro!
