Great content! I'm not a reenactor,, but I love the same era of history. I hunt with and carry handguns and blades from the percussion period. Good point about life without flashlights and headlamps. Many innovative pioneers must have fabricated a hand torch from their camp fire. For the Walker, I attach a Nebo pen light to my barrel/loading lever with electrical tape with a quick release tab. Not period correct, but it handles recoil and fits in my holster as well. Looking forward to your hunting videos.

I don't know if this helps but you should know that the first production sewing machines were made in the 1830's. Some goods were being shipped in machine sewn sacs by the late 1840's and anyone in shipping (like a packer) would have saved the bags at any opportunity both for the cloth and for use as a container.

Hello Richard, I have a few questions for you... 1) lighing : wouldn't they carry an oil lantern? it existed at that time/period? I understand it's bulky and heavy, but with horses... 2) ground cloth : I find it difficult to go directly on the ground with only the blankets due to humidity accumulation. Is a ground cloth period correct? 3) salt : was salt carried in a small cotton/linen bag or small glass bottle to protect from humidity? What kind of salt were they using, sea salt (very fine) or rock salt (rough grains)? Your videos are just great 👍 keep them coming 🙏

@OverOnTheWildSide

Those are good questions and I wish I had the answers... Unfortunately I rarely run across any detail as to what an individual carried for their overnights in the wild. I would like to get an oil lamp eventually and an oil container because as you said, they’re accurate to the time. It’s the same with a ground cloth. I have only seen pictures of wedge tents for small tents. I don’t know if they carried ground clothes or not. I believe in the CW it was common to put their gum blanket/poncho on the ground first. And same with salt. There’s definitely multiple ways to carry it. I haven’t had a problem using a poke sack and it can’t break so I like it. Maybe I’ll get another “store-bought” type container eventually just to show other methods. Do you have any thoughts on those questions?
