The Woodland Escape

The Woodland Escape

The Woodland Escape is a channel that portrays living a self-sufficient lifestyle close to the land. It's primary focus is on 17th century history and the skills of the North American pioneers of that era. However, it also provides snapshots of modern tools and techniques and contrasts them with what the pioneers had available. In addition, there are some episodes depicting modern camping, hunting and canoeing expeditions.

    I got to thinking when I saw your ring that rings were traditionally worn on the right hand. The only reason I know that is that my daughter was a Grip for a period film and the wedding ring was on the right hand for the actress as it was true to the history back in the early 1800's. Our family has been extras in several period pieces as we lived close to a village that Hollywood liked to use. It's called, Mumford Museum in Genesee County, New York. I remember having my hair basted with whipped egg whites as that was what used to keep ladies hair in place before hairspray. Well, it was a hot day and the egg whites cooked in my hair so I had little white flakes throughout my head. But, it worked better than hairspray. My hair didn't move all day. Congratulations you two. I wish you many happy years together.

    I have been to many of the French fort and trading post sites in Illinois. The country is a lot different today as the swamps and wetlands are much smaller or gone. Then again so is the malaria at least for now. I first went to de Chartes in the early 1970s. The large river system and fertile soil made it desirable to settlers.

    My French ancestors migrated to Manikan Township, VA in 1700. Their name was Reneau, de Renauld in France. The Yankee line that moved into PA changed their name to Reno. I descend from the southern line, RENEAU.

    I always cleaned my black powder with soap and water using the ram rod with a tight fitting patch like a pump with the breech sitting in a plastic bucket full of hot soapy water. I then dried it by the fire place with a good coating of oil on the outside and a patch pushed through the bore.

    You adjust the sights to where it is shooting. If it is grouping low, then you lower the front sight. If it is grouping high, then you make the front sight taller. Just the opposite for the rear sight. I have always liked TRU-OIL for gun stock finishes. Easy to put on and repair. Thinned out coats for the first few coats. Wet sanded after several coats with 440 W or Dry.

    So true what you say about patience and letters. It is a sad condition in South Africa, where the post office no longer functions. I have not had mail delivered for over three years and live in a seaside suburb of Cape Town. Parcels are only delivered by courier and physical letters are in the past. Watch out world, it could happen to you..... Thank you so much for your nicely done videos - very much appreciated. 🙂
