Thanks, Sarge! "Bannerman's Camp" seemed to ring lots of familiar bells for some reason. Perhaps you simply planted the seed and it grew, but I always pictured some kind of hunter's camp and a grand tale out of a Zane Grey story. Glad I found THIS video! I LIKE it!
I think there are a lot of folks out there who want to do this "Historic Camping" thing but can't find the research material on it like they can find for military history. That's one of the reasons I started the channel. For older Living Historians who have been in that hobby for a while, I think its a natural because they'll have a lot of usable stuff already in their closets. I think there's also a large segment of the Bushcraft community that will find this a fun and interesting way to practice Bushcraft skills using the same stuff as the early guys like Kephart, Whelen, Miller, et al did. Thanks for watching!
Sarge I hope someday we can sit down together and visit. This tape told me what I wanted to know about what Bannerman's camp is. Thanks for setting on a path like your.
I've got at least one "Living History Philosophy 101" videos coming out in the next week or so. I get up to Denton fairly regularly to bounce Grandbabies on my knee. Maybe we can get together one of those trips.
I've read and reread 'Classic Camping and Woodcraft', 'Deer Camp', and the writings of Nessmuck and Kephart. They offer many clues about how to practice and think about camping in those days. Your channel and your period collections offer a lot to us along those same lines.
Hey Sarge! Great to see you. I'm not sure I'll be trying this, but it's interesting. I used to do a lot of backpacking with the Girl Scouts (even drug Marc out), but that was years ago. I no longer have a pack (modern, of course) and I'm pretty out of shape. Also, not sure of hiking in long skirts. But I've subscribed, so I'll listen in for a while.
Well, the young folks are doing all the hiking. Me and a couple of the other codgers will be sitting around the campfire complaining about our roomatiz and lumbago and telling lies about how good we were when we were young. Thanks for watching, Sally, and good to hear from you!
As an eighteen year old who really enjoys this kind of thing, I am very thankful for this channel and these videos. I would love to get your thoughts on Townsend Whelen, he is my favorite of the classic outdoor writers I have read.
Whelan deserves a place in history just because of the tent design, although there was so much more. My personal favorite is Francis Buzzacott, but that's perhaps because he's a bit of an underdog in the Woodcraft pantheon, taking a back seat to Whelan, Miller, Kephart, et al. Thanks for watching! More coming.
Good video. Nothing like taking a nap. Good job. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts. Oh what do you know about western fix blade boy scout knives. And do you have any Thanks.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about Boy Scout knives. But if you're a member of the Bannerman's Camp Facebook page, there are several members who do.
Facebook is a big no, for me, as it can trap me too easily. These days I've evolved on more old-fashioned, small Internet sites and protocols (gopher or gemini) where everything goes in a more human scale. But I love to camp, have a somehow traditional tarp (an East German shelter half or zeltbahn) and I'd love to make my own Kenwood style sleeping bag.
Thanks for watching! FB works for me as I can upload files to the Group page. I do plan on doing a video on making a Kenwood style bag. You might want to turn on the notifications, so you don't miss it!
Doing living history is a great way to teach yourself and others of a past event or time. I love it!
Yes, and sometimes it makes you buy more stuff. Thanks for watching!
