- After setting up camp in an ideal spot, I engage in some gear repair and begin making preparations for the night. The weather is just right and the feeling of Autumn is in the air...Autumn of 1885!
Much of the gear and clothing came from The Blockade Runner in middle Tennessee, great folks and very helpful and knowledgeable! You can check out their store at: www.blockaderun...

Thank you for watching this episode of the 1880's Classic Camping Series. Keep tuned for more episodes coming up! Please leave your comments below!
people often get into survival.. however, the confederate soldier lived it. Imagine 4 years with nothing but a mucket and wool blanket. How many today could stand such a trial.
My grandpa was born in 1880! What a great little man! He had 11children and raised an extra five grandchildren! I miss him and his old ways to this day!
This series is extremely enjoyable James, thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to see what it might be like camping in the old days.
Thanks so much, I had a lot of fun making them. There is a total of four episodes in this series, by the way.
To put oneself in that scenario for real at any point in one's life knowing that this is the way life will be from here onward would be despairing, difficult, an up hill battle especially if you were alone. How would you prepare yourself for long term survival. How did our ancestors do it and live? How would anyone survive finding themselves tossed into a survival situation unprepared? "But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter". Thank you Father for my home and food and clothing and the means to maintain it and all you have blessed me with that is so easily taken for granted. Thank you for sustaining me even amongst my adversaries. Praise you thankfully and graciously Father in heaven.
Thanks for watching. Practice skills now and keep the Faith!
So unbelievably beautiful and educational. Thank you James
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the second or third time I’ve watched and the more I watch it the more I realize that this is going to be the future
I hope not but you are probably right.
Dang! Great Grandpa in Tidewater VA, carried a mica lensed lantern and lit gas street lights [my brother still hs the lantern] ... Leading generations of the family to work for the VA Light and Power Company... For 50 years service after the Great War, grandpa got... a gold pin... Beautiful series of vids!
Very cool story and it's great that you still have the lantern in the family! Thanks so much for watching the videos! Have you watched any of the 1790s series yet?
@@WayPointSurvival Sorry it took a while to answer. A couple, but I was planning to go back and binge that whole series after this one. I get distracted easily from my plans, so it can take a while!
The everyday tribulations of living off grid. lol. Sewing buttons by the campfire. Great video!
Thanks!
Oh, Lord, right away when the vid starts. I REMEMBER the two best sleeps of my 66.5 year life: 1. in an A frame military pup and 2. under nothing but a tree on about 12" of pine needles- both times. Over 50 years ago, I remember those sleeps!
For sure. When done properly, outdoor sleeping can be some of the best rest you'll ever get.
Really great series, you probably did a lot of research to make video period accurate. I look forward to next video.
Thank you, Thaddeus!
yeah... right down to the silent movie LOL :)
It's 2021 and I never go out on a bushcraft/camping adventure without my sewing kit. To be fair my entire kit is more 1980's than 2020's anyway. It's heavier but way more robust than light gear.
I'm loving this content!
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Great. It's definitely something that a lot of folks forget about but can come in very handy when needed. And, it doesn't have to weigh a lot to get the job done.
oh my .. all the hard work and efforts .. thank you for a very wonderful and educational video ..
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
How fun to watch these videos. They are so refreshing, keep up the awesome work.
Thank you!
I did Civil War re-enacting for many years and I recognize a lot of the equipment you were using. I still have most of my stuff, but my shelter-half tent is not as big as the one you used. It was only 5’6” long and I had to sleep corner-to-corner when it rained. Guys must have been shorter back then. Good video. Brought back a lot of memories. Thanks.
Thank you for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed it!
Great series we may have to learn to do this stuff on Day. Learn to survive in a survival situation
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
Your welcome sir
Excellent video, James, loved the gear repair before bed. Love this series, a step back in time. Teach sewing as apart of any survival class I do with scouts.
Thank you so much, my friend!
As I remember suspender buttons were sewn inside the waistband. Trousers used to come with those buttons in them.
Pretty much all pants that I have seen have the suspender buttons on the outside.
I loved seeing the needle 'case'. I did something similar in my bags, using the cases that hold extra lead for mechanical pencils. I really like all your period pieces, it's like stepping back in time :) I enjoy going to old forts, etc for the same reason -- to get a feel for what it was like 'back then' :)
Thanks,as always,great tips and knowledge!
Thanks so much for watching!
I love the clock and the rewinding of time fun videos!
Thanks! Interesting little note here, I had to pay $75 to get the rights to use that backward spinning clock.
@@WayPointSurvival that's crazy! Hopefully you made it back from content haha
@BUZZKILLJRJR Yep! I made it back just fine!
@WayPointSurvival Im Glad to hear that !
I use a app on my phone and I paid for the premium Version and it actually made a huge difference in my views, I'm nowhere near the same level following obviously, it just was very helpful to get videos done! And helps with viewers.
Would really love to see more like this!!😁✌️💚✊️🔥
There are four videos in this series and I have filmed 14 episodes so far of my 1790 series. Have you watched any of them so far?
@@WayPointSurvival yes love these old school feeling videos James take care brotha!!(=
I really enjoy these period videos that you do. I thought a lot of the gear you were using in this one was more early 1800s than 1880s. The tent for example. I was expecting one with a rear wall, front flaps, a floor, and maybe even a small woodstove. Also, the absence of a firearm in the post war frontier seemed like what would have been considered a very risky way to travel in the wilderness. A Sharp's or a Hawken would have worked, or, of course a lever action Henry or 1873 Winchester. A sidearm also would have been common. For an ex Union Army soldier as indicated by the pants and belt buckle, a Colt 1873 Army revolver would have worked. Cheers. 😃
Did you not see the 50 caliber that I have been carrying in this series?
1880s .. ??? wow all that new fangledy 'modern' stuff..... oh glory!! what amazing new Whiz-Bangers are we gonna see today ???
Right? Thank you for watching!
@@WayPointSurvival I do pre 1840 fur trade..... I LOVE messing w/ the C.W. guys and all their 'new' stuff..lol
great stuff...
Thank you!
Please use cc, as I am deaf. I really enjoy your vids, and put a lot of them to use! Keep up the great work!,
These videos had no talking on them at all. So you don't have to have any closed captioning to enjoy them. Thanks for watching!
They carried a lot of gear back in the day... and it was heavy, but they valued toughness and being in the wilderness more than a light pack or finding the easy way. We would do well to emulate those people. To take the difficult road once in a while, on purpose. Our current mode of living is unsustainable, and before long, many of us will be forced to live this way, with 1800s technology. Thanks for showing us what that looks like. For me, it was enjoyable. Peace from Alaska.
Indeed. Thank you so much for watching, Alaska is a very beautiful state.
Excellent video, a re-in actors dream . Great string music, "mighty fine pickin "..
Glad you enjoyed it
great video, loved all the era correct gear and clothing, nicely done my friend
atb john
Thank you!
Glad to see you got your loose suspender sorted out, it was bothering me in the previous video!🤣😂
I’ve been binge watching your videos recently, I like that you don’t just regurgitate the usual fare of bushcraft staples, you come up with really original content. I particularly enjoy the vintage stuff, I love vintage equipment, most of mine tends to be of military origin because that’s what tends to be more easily available. I like that knife you have, is it a reproduction or original? I have quite a few knives from the 1920s, from my late grandfather, that I really treasure!
That lantern is similar to the old Swiss Army folding lanterns, I’ve been hankering after one for some time now, they’re not cheap though, they vary from £120, including postage from Switzerland, upwards, the older 1910/20s ones being more expensive than the more modern 1950s ones.
Thanks for watching the channel. The knife is a one off hand made by a blacksmith quite a few years ago. I'm not sure if it's a copy of anything or not. The lantern is from The Blockade Runner.
Good night James. See you in the next video. Doing an awesome job.
Thank you!
Thanks for the primitive Bushcraft camping videos.
You're welcome, just finished editing episode 3.
LIVE WAS MUCH EASY RELAXING THEM DAYS
So true in many ways! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Lol like the intro
Thanks so much! I don't have any training in putting together videos so I actually worked really hard on that intro.
Fantastic series ,getting ready to watch them all .
Keep up the great work
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying them!
Excellent little lantern!
Thank you!
Amazing video! enjoyed every bit of it. great choice of music too. Best wishes
Thank you so much, and thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you James and I found the scissors.
Great! Thank you for watching the series!
Really enjoyed those two videos, many thanks, Dean 👍
Thank you so much!
Great video brother. A really good watch. Thanks for sharing pal.
Thank you Chief!
Great video, thanks and you take care.
Thank you, you too!
Another great video James thanks for sharing ATB and God bless you..
Thank you, brother. God bless you and have a great day!
💯"TRUE HISTORY"👍🍺🍺😎🇺🇸
Thank you!
Another great video was most of your clothes wool and would of thought you would of been wearing pull on boots from civil war guess there could if been couple of different boot options back then keep them videos coming much easier time back then in certain ways
Yes, the clothes were wool and the shoes were authentic Civil War brogans reproduced for the time period.
Excellent video, I really enjoyed watching! However, it caused me to wonder,. Would the common man have had the scissors and metal thimble during the time portrayed in this video?
Yes. The 1880's were a prosperous time for our nation. Good question and thank you for watching and commenting!
@@WayPointSurvival Sure they would have had access to buy thimbles and scissors at any good mercantile store.__In order to produce men`s or ladies wear those tools were essential well before those old days way back there. BB
@@paulhowes1396 travelling peddlars were common as mud and most everyone bartered,even Gen. G.Washingtom was a trading man..
Yes, they were common trade goods of the era.
New subscriber
Thank you and welcome aboard!
Also, I carried a .58 cal. Springfield muzzle loading rifle. Looks like you might have been carrying something similar to a .50 cal. Hawken. I have a Hawken muzzle loader also.
Yes, it is a 50 cal. Hawken. Good eye!
2 shelter halfes in the army was just like that 2 guys slept in there. Each man brought a half
Yes, those are pretty good tents!
There's a book out titled. (The civil war federal shelter tent). I just wish it's on Kindle?.
Looks like somebody else gets the Dixie Gunworks catalog.
Actually, I got most of my stuff from the Blockade Runner in Tennessee. They do mostly civil war reenactment supplies.
Hi James,
Why did you put the copper wire round the tentpole?
Kind regards
Alain
It's an old trick to keep the pole from splitting out.
You almost never seen any gear repair in these videos. People always talk about carrying a sewing kit but they never use it.
Thank you for watching!
Ive used mine so many times . I always bring it . I will have a backpack repair video coming someday of a actual repair i did and showing the modifications i made also all by hand
Union all right I portrayed a Union soldier when I did the civil war reenacting and I still wish I had that equipment lost it when I lost my storage I had it all tent backpack leather goods Havre deck you name it I had it later
Well, since he was camping in Ohio and since that was what was cheap at the time, it's what he's wearing, lol.
I can’t stop thinking of mosquitoes biting my face all night,
Well, an old fashioned smudge fire will generally take care of mosquitoes.
Oh my gosh that was amazing!!!! This was recommended to me by a friend because I love camping. 1st, you have a faithful subscriber just because of this!!! 2nd, I was wondering what was the purpose of wrapping the copper wire around the wooden upright? Just curious. And 3rd, what type of harmonica were you using? That was just beautiful!!!
Thanks so much. The harmonica is just an old Hohner Pocket Boy that I have had for nearly 40 years. The copper wire is to keep the top of the pole from splitting out and is an old camping trick from many years ago.
@WayPointSurvival that's so cool man. And you're very welcome sir.
Can't wait any longer to ask, why didn't you use a bipod at each end of the tent held together with hemp or some other form of reusable fiber, it's faster allows easier in and out of the tent and it's cheaper and lighter weight? Were you just trying to show some of the skills that were used in woodcraft back in the day? Also why did you waste a perfectly good match when you had a fire lid already to light the candle? I was always taught waste not want not.;-)
I was just showing the skills from back then. There are several ways to get things done, I just chose this way for the series.
Why where spools cooler back then?
No idea, but I know I like them!
You've probably answered this somewhere before but I'm a new sub and haven't seen all your videos yet. What knife are you carrying in this video? Absolutely Love it! Would like to get one like it. Keep up the great vids. Loving your channel so far!
Thank you. It's a one off made by a blacksmith. I purchased it a long time ago at Friendship, Indiana.
Where did you pick up your 100+ year-old gear? I love it.
Thank you. I bought a lot of it at a Civil War Reenactor's store in Tennessee. However the brass kettle I bought at a flea market. It's date is 1856. The sewing stuff I picked up in an antique bag at the Salvation Army etc. It took me over a year to accumulate all the gear to make the video series. I am so glad you are enjoying it.
Your reenactments make it difficult to choose a time period for a character.
Thanks for watching and I know what you mean!
I'm enjoying this series. Did ya get some of your gear at Townsends?
Thank you. No, I got most of my gear from the blockade runner in Tennessee. There is a link in the video description.
unless it was raining\snowing.
tarp went on ground with U on top & blanket over >Gun In Hand
It depends on the era and what kind of camper you were etc.
Depends, we’re you stationary or on the move.
I'm like number 777 🥳
Excellent. Good number!
