Thanks for watching! Its getting so that you have to dig for the older stuff these days. The vintage stuff was built bomb proof. In 50 years, I'm willing to bet that most ultralight stuff made today will have disappeared and the old stuff will still be around.
Thanks for watching! The 1930s were the Golden Age of Camping and pretty much established how we do it today. I keep discovering "new old things" while Classic Camping.
All the fun and value of 'Talk Around The Campfire' is in your videos. I'm 'Older Than You Are' and I still REMEMBER to LIKE them. I LIKE the idea of a 1920s camping reenactment...BUT I gravitate toward a multi-era load out. For example, I followed your link to Twentieth Century Adventures (a fine presentation of videos): I could never lace up Jodhpurs in the morning. It would be lunch by the time I turned out. Especially so if I had to lace those wonderful LLBean boots.
Thanks for watching and liking, its really appreciated. Truth be told, I'd rather wear my ankle length boots than the tall calf length boots for the same reason. Multi-era camping is how one could describe modern day Bushcraft.
A man after my own heart. You don't stint on cooking gear. Just for myself on a standing camp, I take my Trangia 27 or 25 plus a spare burner. I changed the frypan for non-stick and take the original as a plate. The Trangia chopping board/strainer fits inside. I may even take my Trangia billy can into which the whole ensemble fits. I also made myself a steamer out of another alloy pot and sometimes that goes with me as well. Cooking is such a major part of the scenario for me and so I like to have enough gear to cover all bets. Thanks for sharing your stuff and insights Paul across the pond.
One of the things I love about Early 20th Century camping is that so much of the gear can be hand made. My last outing this Spring will be using all of the hand made gear I've done videos on in the past year, including the two I'm finishing up and another I'm contemplating. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Got it off Ebay fairly cheaply b/c there was some surface rust at the edges. I figured that I could sand it off and repaint, but there was a bit more cancer under the paint that hadn't flaked off yet. Had to strip the whole thing and re-paint inside out, but I am pleased with the result. Good, solid closure that doesn't pop open on a whim.
You're the second person who has recommended honey, so now I'm looking for a period correct container for honey. I did add some brown sugar and dried blueberries to the recipe to make it a bit sweeter.
I just found your channel and i am loving it. But im dying to know more about that oven. Where did it come from? What is it called? How do i get one? I have used the Coleman pop up oven and I can do a lot with a Dutch oven. But i need to know more about this beauty you have in this video.
Thanks for watching! The oven was one of those things that showed up at the bottom of an Ebay auction I was looking at. I wasn't searching for it and was totally unaware that such an oven even existed, but immediately knew it had an application for what I'm doing with Classic Camping Living History. Wish I could help you more and wishing you luck in your search. I would imagine they are out there as they were made for home and camping use.
You need a stronger board at the ends. You could do the sides with cedar pickets, but you need a regular 1 x 12 at the ends. If you're going to add shelves, the fence pickets are likely too light. Thanks for watching!
Its in a can, so it should last a long while in storage. They're one pound each, which usually lasts one day, so its likely not going to go bad on the trail. Thanks for watching!
@@sargevining thanks. I thought you were going to bring ham that was rap in butchers paper . But ya that good ham .in the can . God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Love vintage camping gear, it’s great when you find a piece of gear at a flea market or antique shop

Found your channel recently. I really like it. I like blending old and new and you’ve got a lot of good info

Nice chuck box

👍 Honey, jam or plenty of butter will offset dry muffins.

More fat will add moistness as well.

Is the crate made with a light weight material. I would like to make one with cedar fence pickets

So, umm...... is that blue light under the white coffee cup propane ?
And WHY is it going around in circles like that ???
@@sanwages Actually, that's my phone under the cup. I don't think its keeping anything warm-----
There’s nothing about this channel that I don’t love.
Thanks for watching! We'll try not to disappoint.
