    @@BDNeon yea... until you realize, modern internet heavily abuses data cacheing. So basically anything uploaded online, or specifically "hosted on a live server" could theoretically be put back together. Granted this would probably take something beyond peer to peer to do. Nonetheless, as long as the data stored has a relevent point of access. That access and its memory could bring it back. Edit: BTW this is already accomplished with photos, sound files, and clips. So technically it is already possible. The qestion is not if it can be done, but who would want it done.

    Townsends has become a real Godsend to me in these times, along with Coalcracker Bushcraft! I became interested more about Daniel Boone and the American Frontier on a Bourbon Trail trip to Kentucky two years ago. I'm a real tenderfoot who never camped as a kid and struggled as a Den Leader Dad in my kiddo's Cub Scout troops years ago, so taking a genuine interest (albeit very late in life) in both American History and bushcraft has helped me to begin to appreciate both subjects as well as beginning my journey as a modest prepper. I'm so very glad that both Townsends and Coalcracker Bushcraft produced this series when they did, it would probably be very difficult to do nowadays. And late at night, when the worries of the day keep me up, both of these channels have proven to be bright beacons of knowledge in an otherwise uncertain and darkening world. Thanks to both Dan and James for keeping the fires of education, knowledge and faith burning bright, we've never needed y'all more than now!

    Rose McGuinn one, dressing up as Native American if you are not native is very disrespectful to their rich culture, history, and religion. Especially if you wore feather headdresses or moccasins. Modern “Native” costumes take bits and pieces from many different Native tribes and pretend that they’re all one homogenous group. Please do some research into Native history and culture and you’ll see that they very much do not like non-Natives dressing up as them. Culture not Costume is a very popular movement by young people of Native background.

    k3n3gdy Funny you mention this, I have had this very discussion a few dozen times since October. First, the Girl Scouts were approached to do that and my understanding is that they refused. Second, Boy Scout troops are only 1 of 5 programs ran by the BSA organization and the Cub Scouts and Troops were the only ones not co-ed. The Boy Scouts are quite literally dying out and in great part because of their not admitting girls. They were the first program and 30 years ago were the largest in the organization, now they are fourth in size and shrinking every year. Third, the Boy Scouts of America is the ONLY scouting organization left in the world that is not co-ed. The BSA was once the largest youth organization in the world and now are not even in the top 5. The Venture crews, Sea Scouts, and Explorer programs are all part of the BSA and all are co-ed with the same age group of youth and I do not know of any problems they have had. Fact of the matter is, this has been coming for some time and as a youth who came through the BSA and as a present day troop leader, am glad to see it finally arrive. There is no reason to exclude someone based on how they were born. I feel that girls have every right to be able to learn the skills and leadership values that are at the core of Scouting.

    How timely for me. I just spent a day opening up a clearing in my woods yesterday, and we had a burn pile in the rain. Today, I cooked supper over the coals of the burned wood. It had cooled down just right. As I cooked, I wondered what I could learn from your channel to help me set myself up in style. I had a great day, and I will watch this video and have even more fun next time.

    Wendy Nordstrom, I concur, most interesting. I'm from the fifties, come from a large family and father would supplement meals with variety of wild game. Always a blessing. When camping we'd have from the fire pit fish, frankfurters, potatoes, popcorn, toast, eggs n bacon, coffee or marshmallows.😁

    I don't YT a lot, but when I do, I find amazing youtubers. Dan and James are tied for 2nd favorite after Jessica from How to ADHD. otherwise i'm just using youtube music or like a 10+ hour campfire in the other room for the dim flickering light to sleep by. (I mute the fire) I have audiobooks on my phone and a bluetooth speaker by my bed. I like Townsends cooking channel tho because the recipes are simple and from real (whole, unprocessed) foods (that don't cause cancer). I'm going to try some of the potted whatever recipes using tin cans. Historically, things were first hermetically sealed in clay pots (see also 6000 year old still edible Egyptian honey) As you can see, all of these potted recipes use clay pots, still. The problem is, clay is only sturdy if it's heavy. The lighter (thinner) your pots, the more fragile they are. In the 19th century, this problem was solved with tempered glass. (see also mason jars) Jars had a variety of different kinds of lids before ultimately arriving at the tin screw-on lids we have today. But many other things than food were kept in clay and glass containers, including boot polish. Besides being fragile, in extreme cold, glass becomes even more brittle, and can even spontaneously crack and shatter. In WWI, the Russian army had to start putting boot wax in tins because the glass containers weren't surviving. (boot black is necessary to keep boots waterproof, which is crucial for trench warfare) Then of course food eventually went into tins. Since I'm more interested in just simple living rather than reenacting or wilderness living (though wilderness camping now and then is great), I'm going to start saving my canned veg tins to make things like the potted salmon, etc. Any of the things you can preserve by sealing up with a fat like butter or suet. I'd fill it just to the brim and then drop the original lid on top of it and freeze it. Unlike glass or clay, it won't break due to the expanding contents; any expansion will be directed upward, hence the little bit of space. Probably drape a square of cheesecloth on top and bind it in twine. You can conceivably do this with anything cooked that you can serve with butter, or that you can cook in butter or another fat that is solid at room temp, or potentially anything preserved another way by leaving a 3/4" ish space at the top of the can, dropping the lid in, and then pouring whatever warmed fat product in over it. (even wax, if say, you put the lid in and froze it before sealing it. Food grade paraffin wax or beeswax.

    Well done, gents. I learned these lessons too slowly as a kid. Cooking fresh squirrel on a stick over a fire (too hot and too fast) makes your hard won meat the consistency of an old tire and half as tasty. Learning to slow cook on a spit is the way to go.
