Starting the Roof and Making Venison Stew| LOG CABIN BUILD | ROOT CELLAR|PIONEER LIFE CIRCA 1700'S

[@stevenbp101]

Man Peter your a tough Oldboy. I think of you doing all this stuff to build your cabin and I’m almost afraid to even get started on mine even with power tools. I hope I can toughen up and get in shape like you. I use to be a stone mason but I’ve been retired now taking care of mom for the past couple of years and I’ve really softened up. I gotta give you a big hands up Bubba. God bless and many thanks. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Well, an old guy from Ontario here. Thanks Steven … I actually collapse once the camera is turned off, lol. Good luck with your build.

[@jamesgreco5296]

Man, if we get could get this guy and Townsend and Sons in a room together...boom! That would be a great podcast.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

I’m flattered James.

Top notch programming

[@garyrichardt1496]

I'm hungry again this was very educational and enjoyable.

Gla d you enjoyed, Gary.

That last log is kinda like the whiskey plank on a boat. A warming satisfaction.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

It is indeed … I suspect you sir are a boat builder. Thanks for watching.

It always amazes me to see how people craft their log cabin and the work that goes into it. Great job my friend

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Thanks so much, Theodore, we appreciate your interest.

[@snakejumper3277]

I admire the way you tote that rifle everywhere, just like an 18th century pioneer.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Either in hand or close at hand I say. We are attempting to actually do it the way our ancestors would have, so very observant on your part.

[@markcummings6856]

What a superb video. Thanks.

Thanks Mark.

Howdy y’all- won’t be long and you’ll have a roof. Stew looks delicious. Take care and God bless

I found your channel a few days ago and just got around to subscribing and BOOM..!!! Here's a brand new video. Life is good. I am just loving this channel. The 18th century guns, tools and clothing are awesome a that's a really nice cabin too. Thanks for the great video's. It is much appreciated.

[@alanpinn2266]

Scrapin' out the fryin pan. That's some good eats! Cheers, Peter. Keep up the good work. At some point I'll get back in your neck of the woods - so I can see the cabin.

[@swhedge71]

You never cease to amaze me my friend! This channel is amazing! Cheers, -Steve-

[@johnclarke6647]

I love boiled cabbage, butter and salt. All my soups have tomato’s in the. I make beef, vegetable soup as one of my specialities. I build my base with onion, carrots and celery. Then, it gets the stew beef, tomato sauce and diced tomatoes followed by green beans, kernel corn, potatoes and okra. It is a meal all by itself. It takes about six hours to cook on slow heat. I do not use water. I use beef broth. I make about 8 quarts at a time, freezing most of it for later.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Sounds great!

[@brianyoung5648]

Looks like a great meal. Well done!

[@johnclarke6647]

I am waiting to see you lift that ridge pole up😊

I'm disappointed i can have that soup with guess I will make my own. Cabin is coming along very nicely cant wait to see it completed

[@denisbelair8988]

Really nice set up That stew was amazing i could not believe the colour of that cabbage even in january Cool stuff him learning from your experience Thanks for showing this really appreciated

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

The winter cabbage we grew lasted us into March in the root cellar. Thanks for your interest.

[@MapleMonkeyHomestead]

Absolutely love this!! hand tools for the win!! After I build my little place I'm doing right now I am going to study bit more and thinking of a log cabin like this for the next building further down the road. Would love to come across some more hand tools like the ones you have to make building that much more easier and funner IMO. Keep at it you are almost there! I can't wait to see what its going to look like when its all done.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Picked a lot of those old tools at flea markets and make what I don’t have in my blacksmith shop.

Hello!! Mike from Charlotte NC. Just found your channel. I will be binge watching until I catch up. I'm totally enamored with this type of lifestyle and your authenticity of recreating it. Keep up the good work and I'll be in touch after episode 8

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Thanks Mike, glad your enjoying our step back in time.

[@petehoover6616]

One of the fiddle tunes used is the Cherokee song "Wishita dooya dooya dooya, wishita dooya, dooya hey. Washa taney-ya hey ya hey ya, Washa taney-ya hey ya hey. The old TV show Northern Exposure once had an Indian song they sang to "Turkey in the straw" I don't know what language it is in but I memorized the words; "Eh! Quag! Quag! Jegoobah ezheahn mesuya booya oguma jijun. Ninimushey ugu wijiwa Aqui que shemumah oguma jijun." Hunh. I never looked at this before. I didn't realize the words oguma jijun occured twice, and that it's the verb in two sentences. That structure, the existence of the "zhe" sound, and the juxtaposition of vowels would make me make a rather uninformed guess that the language is Ojibwa. It's definitely not Lakota or Cherokee or Choctaw or Quechua or Aymará.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Thanks for sharing.

[@denislosieroutdoors]

Awesome channel just subbed your channel couple day ago great content thanks for sharing.... I'm in southern New Brunswick also documenting a cabin build on my channel mine will not be as traditional as yours tho hats off to you... can't wait for your birch bark canoe series

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

On a future episode could you take us inside your root cellar so we can see the layout? Also, could you explain it's construction? I'm very interested in this. Thanks!! Oh, the stew looks delicious!!

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Essentially , it is a tiny log cabin, built into the bank and then buried, leaving just the front door open to the outside . The door is 8” thick and insulated.

[@TimGSmit]

Can you show us what the inside of the freezer looks like?! Thanks and love your channel👍

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Going to be making a new one in the spring and hope to film the process. Essentially it a a tiny log cabin on stilts.

[@craigcook1571]

I’ve noticed in a lot of your vids, you often check the pan on your smooth bore. Are you checking to see if it’s primed, or unprimed, or the condition of the priming powder?

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

I’ll check it every 15 minutes or so if it is humid and dump and replace if necessary. Lost the dear of a life time at only 30 yards once due to not fleshing up my pan powder. That won’t happen again.

[@craigcook1571]

@@TheWoodlandEscape 👍🏻 thanks, I’m just getting into flintlocks, so any info is valuable at this stage

[@petehoover6616]

When Townsend pointed out that the rivers in the 18th century were full of fish it dawned in me: there were more people on the North American continent in the 14th century than there were in the 18th century. It's not something people with Indian grandparents would doubt at all. Anyone who picks up arrowheads would find that obvious.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

I’m sure that is quite possible Pete. As I kid I would pick up hundreds of artifacts when the frost when out of the ground, by simply walking plowed fields. Europeans decimated the native population.

[@lancehenderson7249]

Was there videos before these ones, would have liked to have seen the inside of the cold storage

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Thanks for your interest, Lance. We will try and show the root cellar in more detail in a future episode.

[@coloradoprofessionalinspec720]

I know you are done now, but for posterity, I have thoughts. I think a guy would have gotten some help on the rafters with the neighbors, barn raising style. Guess it depends on the local. Also with all the timber available, I am surprised that I don't see more scaffolding.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Good feed back. Due to the small size f the build, scaffolding seemed like too much effort.

[@coloradoprofessionalinspec720]

@@TheWoodlandEscape not much effort if you leave the log butts long. Maybe im just arm chair quarter backing.

[@gailsgardenherbsmore1605]

Nothing like food cooked over an open fire. What was the white stuff you cooked the meat in before putting it in the stew? I usually put flour and salt in mine, but on camera yours looked different than that.

[@richardmiller3883]

Your green blanket shirt looks a lot like mine. Did you get yours from Townsends..??

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

No, a friend with your last name actually made it for me.

[@moonbear5929]

Someone could use a nice draft horse to pull those logs around. Or a sturdy mule.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Funny you mention horses. We used to farm with horses and I’ve truly missed them of late!

[@scrqqge]

Hi really like your vids, and the vegetable celler is awesome, but please tell me how you can use vernision from last fall in january, how u keep your meats fresh?

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

We have a modern home and freeze our meat. We cache some meat for use at our cabin, but only once the temperatures have dropped to zero or below.

[@BK-oo1bl]

Love your videos very informative but I’m lazy and gonna use a chainsaw lol

[@jimc4731]

There is a lot of food in your pot, how will you preserve it from day to day? JIM

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Easy in the winter and in the summer simply prepare what one can eat in a day.

[@chrislnflorida5192]

How much land do U have? I'd like to see what your main home looks like, I'm sure it's enormous?

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Our home which we also built ourselves in 900 square feet … rather tiny by today’s standards. One bedroom and one bathroom and it is nestled in a 40 acre wood lot.
