The March of the Turkeys | HISTORY |CABIN BUILD | HOMESTEAD | COOKING

[@milliebanks7209]

I know this video is over a year old but I enjoy watching it again and again! Each time I watch I find myself leaning over attempting to see behind the tree to determine how many more turkeys will be coming to eat! Today is 2023, Feb 14.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Always nice when someone watches and comments on our channel but, very flattering indeed when they watch it more than once. Thank you.

[@fgb3126]

Wow! That's a LOT of young Turkeys! Sh*t they keep coming!

[@ObsidianWolves]

No better way to ring in the new year than in a cabin by the fire. Happy New Year Peter to you and your family. Thanks for all the great content!

[@Nerdperior]

I pray that I'll be living this lifestyle someday soon 🙏

[@terrynoraturner1848]

A lot of Turkeys where I am, hunted them 4 mornings in a row one year and never could draw the bow with out getting spotted. Came in one morning and I here the wife reading a book out loud, turning pages and there were at least a dozen birds around her listening. They are a strange smart bird in the wild. Love the history. In the US, hearing history from a different view puts things in perspective.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

That is a hilarious story, Terry, thanks for sharing.

[@rickhaddix6847]

I read somewhere that Benjamin Franklin proposed to make the wild Turkey the national bird of the United States.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

It was indeed and if memory serves missed being the national bird by a handful of votes.

[@SveninColorado]

Peter, A Happy and Blessed New Year to you and yours! My Mum's side of the family were early settlers in the Plymouth Colony. William Ripley left England and settled in Hingham, Mass. in 1638. He drew a town lot the same year and was admitted a Freeman in 1642. His eldest son, John is our direct ancestor. Following your adventures has stirred my imagination. I can almost see some of my ancestors doing exactly what you have shown in this KZbin series. On a more contemporary note; in 1949, my great-uncle and his wife purchased a very rustic summer resort in the Colorado, Front Range mountains near Estes Park. The resort consisted of 8 very rustic cabins, a shower house, four outhouses, and a rudimentary cold water system with a pump house and pressure tank drawing water from a year round creek on the property. We spent many Summer weekends and vacations there. My Dad helped Uncle Bob upgrade and modernize the cabins while we older kids cut and split firewood and helped maintain and clean the cabins. Seeing your work brings up some very eidetic memories! I can smell the wood fire, taste the flinty, cold water, and feel the cold wood floors creaking as we woke in the chilly mountain mornings....Makes me feel young again! Thank you!

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

What a wonderful story, Stephen, thanks for sharing.

[@markbecker71]

Imagine 6 children surrounding that cabin...happy new years

[@markhedgecock4184]

Peter, I want to let you know how much my wife and myself enjoy your show . We enjoy the things you do but also the history you talk about. I have bought a band saw mill and have plans to build a log cabin. So I am learning more about the process of building with logs. One thing shows are too short. They could be hours long. Always be safe.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Thanks Mark and good luck with your cabin build.

[@outdoortimehuntfish]

Please keep doing your show, I find it incredibly refreshing in a busy modern world. Plus I love learning history this way! I could watch your channel for hours.

[@fgb3126]

My ancestor Alexander Breckenridge brought his family, with his own capital I might add, from County Antrim in Ulster to America, landing at Philadelphia in 1745. From thence to Virginia and later Tennessee. Good Scots-Irish folk!

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Scots - Irish descended myself!

[@bobbymiller1414]

Very nice to see turkeys up by your door I love nature

[@lae52]

Turkeys!! Isn't that the way with turkeys, all over the place until turkey season.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Indeed, David, indeed!

[@somikstudios513]

My wife and I really like the music. I play concertina and she plays piano and we love playing along. :)

[@stephankramb204]

The voice of the Singer remembers me of Maddy Prior (Steeleye Span, a famous british folkrock band of the seventies).

[@riverrockproductions]

Man, do I love those big, goofy birds!

[@robertcurns3845]

rather have chicken than turkey anyway lol. thank you again for such an interesting time.

[@trevorkidd293]

Happy New Year Peter, Family and Friend's . love that reflector/ rotisserie. I have a Solar oven , same principal different times. I live in Western Queensland Australia, on a small property,(30acres) I have Solar and Wind power, 20,000 gal water tank, and am fairly self sufficient. My nearest Super Market is 60ml away. Am getting a lot of very useful information from your show so will subscribe. I feel the old ways are so much more reliable, than modern ways and gadgets . look forward to future episodes of your show ,thank you, All the best. Bluey

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Sounds like you’re pretty well set out there the hinterland. It is hard to beat some of the old ways and tools used by our ancestors.

[@charleswilliams9647]

that had to be 35-40 turkey's. Wow. never seen so many in one place at one time. Amazing!

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Quite a crackle of them indeed. Cathy and I ounce counted a winter flock the exceeded 80 birds … darn things don’t stand still long enough for an accurate count, lol.

[@franciswashack89]

I am no way going to critique any inaccuracies, if I notice any, I am sure it is not enough to mar the shear enjoyment I get from your channel. Thank you such nice videos.

[@larryreese6146]

Thanks for sharing your New Year with us. Good thing the door was closed. Otherwise those feathered villains would have stormed your house, taken your chicken and chased you from your abode. I tell you Sir, you can't trust them. Have a very good coming year.

[@michaelvalcourt9978]

Happy New Year to you. My Grandparents came to America from around the Gaspe in the late 1800s early 1900s. I absolutely love your history lessons. Please keep it up. Thank you!

[@marieleopold1625]

Your opening made me LOL...I could see the 'reason' for your generous 'seed feeds' as welcoming potential passers by for 'supper'! What a population you have around you Peter...not many boast of having a real 'turkey' for a neighbor eh? Notice since the last vid, that you have a 'holy fear' of overcooking your food...and THAT'S a good thing. You are open to learning and learn quickly! = All good! The history was again most entertaining...helps us enrich our lives with appreciation for the past when we ponder these things. Thank-you for your time/talents shared. Funny thing how in every group of creatures big or small...one always stands out as a 'ham' = proud turkey boasting it's lovely plumage. Health and blessed New Year!

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

That is some fine math, Marie. I have indeed become much more aware of the passing of time! All the best in 2022.

[@joeswff]

Happy new year. Please more videos where you just tells us how it was In the late 1700s. I could listen to you for hours.

[@earlshaner4441]

Hi from Syracuse NY brother and happy new year everyone

[@mikeduda3173]

THAT my friend is a serious flock of turkeys

[@mikeduda3173]

Excuse me a kackle of turkey

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Indeed it was Mike. Cathy and I saw one that was almost double a couple of years ago. We were out snowshoeing and counted 86 birds.

[@1kbs11]

Beautiful ending footage of a turkey foreground / mid ground and cabin background. (JF)

[@Austin-sv6io]

Great video! love the new coat. Funny how scarlet wool was so cheap back then but so expensive today.

[@HallnoutMhall]

Happy new year Peter, family, and friends. A lesson and it's only Saturday. Great job and thank you.

[@sherryrigdon1271]

I enjoy everything about what you and others are doing there. It was a wonderful time , and family were important equally as much as the food grown or livestock raised. Family were important. God bless you and your family and strengthen all your endeavors with His favor. God speed. A friend indeed. Sherry Montez

[@metroplexchl]

Thanks for making 2021 more enjoyable than it would've been. Here's to 2022! PS - Soylent Green was set in 2022......I'm going to choose to NOT read too much into that. :-)

[@jantrewitt4058]

Your chicken looks yummy! Glad you learned a lesson about keeping an eye on things you are cooking! Remembering your bread disaster. ha, ha.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

You might say a wee bit of a slow learner, Jan but, not stupid,lol.

[@shawnlaplante9200]

Being old in mind and young in heart. I love the honesty of what you do. Thank you and Happy New Years.

[@duanerogers1166]

At least you won't go hungry if times get real hard lol

[@richardliles4415]

That chicken rotisserie oven is so cool, it should be on a preppers shelf. Want to thank you two right another wonderful video, I look so forward to them.❤️

[@brandonfigueroa7399]

The image at exactly 11:00 is amazing. You should make a flag or painting or wood burning of it. Great content, so great that will be starting the year as a subscriber.

[@bessiemann7468]

Happy New Year. I am old an if I open the windows I will be sick tomorrow

[@badbadbob1]

I really like that fireplace and reflector oven. I could see maw sitting in the corner doing all her chores Cooking washing and sewing on a small stool.

[@tonycotter9791]

Greetings from Ireland . Happy new year.Thanks for the great videos

[@lynnotto627]

Peter, thank you for your good will. Happy New Year!

[@martinmeltzer2696]

Hey Peter, Happy New Year to you and yours. Your comment about not being able to find a turkey during Turkey Hunting Season, reminded me of the Whitetail Deer here in Indiana! During hunting season, they can routinely avoid bullets traveling at supersonic speed... yet... for the rest of the year, they cannot get out of the way of a vehicle going 40 miles an hour down a country road!

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Too funny!

[@ericsmeltzer78]

I enjoy watching these videos ecspeically these type, I have actually learned more now then I did back in school And I graduated in 2003

[@ericsmeltzer78]

Happy new year as well!!! I hope you make many more videos like this in the near future, I enjoy watching the work as well

[@jamesellsworth9673]

THANKS for sharing a lovely setting and some interesting information. For decades I have wanted just that model of a 'tin kitchen' or 'hastener.'

[@jeffgillette3364]

Your reflector oven is something I never even knew about that actually is quite a clever device that chicken turned out looking pretty good guessing by the amount of steam coming off from it the temperature in your cabin I'm guessing is around 55 to 65 and you're right about one thing your wild turkeys felt safe because you were eating chicken I didn't see any big beards on any of your turkeys mostly just Jake's and hens but they also would be good on your rotisserie and I would also like to comment on the fact that your mind never leaves your cooking that's what makes a good cook you can talk all you want to anybody while you're cooking but a good cook never takes his mind completely off the cooking 🔪 otherwise they end up with a Smokey shack in a ruin dinner thank you so much for your video happy holidays and good eating

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

For sure! Thank you!

[@MD-wk3gj]

May 2022 bring you many blessings.

[@yvonneprice3425]

Happy New Year! Nicholas Schall, Sr. came to America in 1752

[@bobelot6302]

Happy New Year to all, look forward to all the upcoming content.

[@thaddeusmikolajczyk4518]

I made a dyi reflector oven that I use while camping. Reflector ovens are simple but work really well for baking around a fire. I enjoyed your visitors they sure made short work of the grain you put out for them. I hope your have a great 2022.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

I built a break down reflector oven that we take on modern canoe trips, wonderful for fresh caught fish!

2:48 It looks delicious!

[@gailsgardenherbsmore1605]

Great video of the turkeys! That line of turkeys just kept coming... I've lived in KY and never saw that many at one time nor in CA and we have quite a few. I loved the shot of the turkey at the end. He almost looked suspicious of the camera, lol. I did not know about that reflector oven. I suspect they had many things of which we are not aware.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

They did have a lot of items most people today would not have a clue as to the application.

[@jameskirk5887]

Happy New Year Peter! I have so enjoyed watching your videos this past year, and can't wait to see what the new year brings. :)

[@robaldridge6505]

'can't HUNT the turkeys' ????? that ain't hunting it's that door-delivery grocery thing, looks like you ordered 2 dozen FRESH turkeys... LOL Happy New Year !!!

[@kurtschulze9311]

[@saphireviking1912]

Happy New Year Peter and the same to your goodwife!

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Funny how it works. In my neck of the woods all the turkeys, deer, and elk disappear during hunting season and I swear they're back in my pasture one week after hunting season ends, LOL..... THEY KNOW !!!

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

It would appear!

[@adamcfmacdonald]

Wonderful video. Thanks for all your videos. Stay well and keep going into 2022.

[@stannelson2582]

Happy new year to you and your whole flock tommy turkey.

[@shermdog6969]

They just kept coming.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

I know right!

[@kevinwood1358]

Hi Peter, hope you didnt soak that corn in bourbon for turkeys to eat, then stagger around or fall over to harvest!

[@charleswilliams9647]

truly amazing trail cam shots

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Thank you.

[@AlexLuyckxPhoto]

Happy New Year Peter! Christmas is a big celebration in my family especially on my wife’s side. And a nativity scene has always been a decoration during the season, my parents have multiple ones, including a very old set from my dad’s parents.

[@joshbagley1959]

Love that reflector oven! I've been admiring them since I first saw one almost 20 years ago - I think it was in the Townsend catalog but might have been one of the tinsmiths that went to the Fort Ticonderoga Grand Encampment of the French & Indian War. Sadly, those events are no more. I loved the Native dances and the bonfire, especially as many of them are veterans like myself. Helped to talk through things. Most of my reenacting group was too. Any special tips on using one of those for cooking? Length of time for cooking? Clean up? How well did it reflect the heat from the fire around the chicken? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

The chicken took just about one hour. I’ve a lot to learn but,it reflects amazingly well and clean up was not too bad. It has a spout in one end to pour the grease out for gravy making.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Townsends still carry this model in their catalog for period reenactors.

[@donbethune383]

HAPPY NEW YEAR, I hope. GOD Bless and Hold Fast.

[@nhmountains5683]

Happy New Year Peter. Here’s to a better and healthy 2022 or 1755

[@notjustanything]

Lovely home , been following you for a while , great videos as always , but that bird looks so good , im dying as i just started a 3 day fast, and im 18 hours into it lol

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Go luck with your fast … I’d suggest not watching any cooking shows.

[@steventweed3599]

Thank you for the history lesson as always! Happy New Year to you! Here's to safe work, travels, hunting and libations.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Thank you, to all of the above!

[@westtexasprepper]

Love the history!

[@everettmaness9001]

I love your videos. I love the cabin and all your woodland scenes, hikes and adventures. I noticed the rocking chair on the porch. Did you make it? Looking forward to more adventures in 2022, of the Frontier Man - as I call you when I tell my friends and family about your show.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Actually the rocking chair was a gift from a neighbor. The Frontier Man, now that is a first but, I’m flattered. Thanks for your support.

[@markaugustus621]

Happy New Year to you and Catherine. I keep pushing for you to write that book. Until then I'll continue to enjoy your historical videos which again I check for each week.

Happy New Year Peter, from the looks of it you're starting out the new year in grand style with fine gagle of goblers. Sitting here watching you Woodland Escape and working on some wing bone turkey calls, though I suppose had I had, what you have in front of your cabin this bright New Year's day, well they should prove usefull for a spring or fall hunt, though I suspect as you have said a wee bit harder to find.
