- Setting: It's an early Winter's day somewhere on the western frontier between the trading post and my trapping camp. Amongst some oak and cedar trees I find a protective area in a draw. Getting out of the wind, I decide to make a small fire to warm the bones, enjoy a smoke on the pipe, and replenish my supply of char cloth.

I'm not a reenactor but I do enjoy keeping history alive... if you are a perfectionist or unable to see past historical inaccuracies for the sake of entertainment, then this video is probably not for you.
Where's my rifle?: Although I'm pretending to be in the early 1800's, this is indeed current times and where this is filmed, I'm not allowed to be walking around with a firearm.
Camera: Canon SL2
Hey Dale... Love the simplicity of the fire, the pipe, and the peace in the woods. (stay well) my friend.
Yes sir, nothing like the woods for a little serenity. Thanks for stopping by and for watching, I appreciate it!
Always good to get seasoned by nature inside and out
Haha, “seasoned by nature”…never heard it described like that before but I like it! Thanks for stopping by man!
I always enjoy watching the slightly different ways people do their outdoor activities. For example the way you held the knife behind the knee while cutting the fabric was knew to me but makes sense.
I hear ya, I’m constantly picking up things too. Glad you stopped by, thanks for watching!!
I just recently watched one of your videos and had to subscribe, now I’m hooked thank you.
I’m glad you liked the video, welcome to the channel! Thanks for stopping by!!
Good video. Simple but entertaining. Now on to your channel to see what else you have.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoy it. Hopefully you’ll enjoy my other videos as well.
Very cool Dale what tobacco were u smoking?
I’m sure that was the way it was done 200 years ago in the woods by trappers & hunters!
Well done.👍
If I remember correctly, it was either Sutliff’s Molto Dulce or Sutliff’s Spiced Rum. I realize neither of those would be considered period correct, but I figured no one would know the difference just from watching. Thanks for stopping by, glad you enjoyed it!
What do you keep in leather bag around neck? Video well done!!!
That’s a shot pouch. It keeps the lead balls (ammo) that a longhunter’s rifle will shoot. But in my case, it’s mainly there to help complete the look. Thanks for watching!
Hey Dale. Always enjoy your vids.
I'm curious if green briar roots make good pipe bowls?
Don't they use Irish green briar roots historically for pipe bowls?
I'm pretty sure your area has as much briar as NE Oklahoma.
The greenbriar I know is a thorny vine, and yes, it’s in abundance over here. If we’re talking about the same Greenbriar plant, then I don’t think they’d make good pipe material. Greenbriar roots are large tubers, similar to a potato or ginger. The briar wood that’s used in traditional pipe making is a Mediterranean shrub that grows a very hard tight grained root. I believe having the word “briar” in their name is all they have in common. The pipe in this video I made out of mesquite and it works pretty darn good. The commercial pipes I use in my other videos are all made out of traditional briarwood. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!!
@@OntheTrailwithDale yes, it's the same green briar I'm talking about.
Its good to know that the briar is not the same as theirs..
I haven't smoked in over 25 years and dare not give myself an excuse to start back.
All the best.
Good video
Thanks, I appreciate you watching!!
Look at what you are doing the look around you, just to be safer.
