- After traveling through the wooded hills and valleys and across the prairie fields of Southern Ohio, I come upon the perfect camp site right next to a large creek. Come along with me as I set up camp and experience camp life in the 1880's!
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.blockaderunner.com/

I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I did making it. This series has been on my mind for a long time and it took me a while to do the research and put together the gear. I have tried to make it as historically accurate as possible. For those of you who are more historically astute than I, please forgive the discrepancies. At any rate, thanks so much for watching! Please check out the links in the description box above and thank you in advance for all your kind comments!
Perfect way to end my night, my wife next to me, dog on my legs, cat laid on my shoulder, windows open fresh air, and a beer in my hand. This is great man, keep up the good work!
Enjoy your videos. About 55 years ago when I was 10, I got the urge to go "camping". Living in a small rural town we didn't have access to proper equipment, but I found an old book by Col. Townsend Whelen and Bradford Angier. Their stories of "forage camping" with a boy's axe, jacknife, blanket, "tarpaulin" and a box of matches captivated my young mind. That book changed my life and my outlook on camping. Your videos remind me in many ways of that old book and I cannot pay a higher compliment to any man.
This man is remembering all of our grandfathers ans great+grandfather's. This deserves to be respected. Thank you for doing this, brother.
Let's all just take a moment to appreciate the fact that this guy has "Man hands". You can tell some work was put in by those things. You can see the callous of a man who never backed away from something dirty, or stuck. Something broken or bogged down. No sir. Reminds me of my Grandfather. Looked like he had pair of old leather gloves on. You know the difference too when they give you a handshake and it feels like the just shook your soul.
I am truly amazed at how the older generations spent the night on the ground with only a gum blanket and a wool blanket. Even in July in PA I froze my buns off at night during the 125th Anniversary Reenactment at Gettysburg. Unexpected rain and snow showers not to mention wind, made the life in a dog tent almost unbearable for only a weekend, imagine how our ancestors did it. Unless there were follow on wagons with support supplies, I don't know how the light infantryman did it. Attempting to authentically replicate much of the historical stuff, you find out that the natural fibers don't insulate as well as the modern clothing we have now. I really took note of this in WA when we did a WWII battle in 3 feet of snow. It makes one consider spending the night in the truck....
What a great idea...really enjoying the comparison to today's kit. That pack must have weighed a hundred pounds!!
I know it was a hard life, but I bet anxiety, depression, and stress levels were nonexistent. I know a day or two under the canopy of mother earth's bosom I can feel the worries just drift away. Four simple concerns, food, water, shelter, and fire. OK maybe, ailments and raiders(critter or otherwise). There has been so much lost knowledge that wasn't recorded. I deal with it daily when it comes to medicinal herbs and their uses. Also, with foraging wild edible plants and fungi. Even trapping is about one to two generations from being gone. Nice vid, I do the harmonica thing as well. I prefer my tin whistle though.
Lately I've wanted to find a spot at our local lake and set up a Red Dead Redemption style camp.
Lots of work back then. Now a days pull a string and get a tent. Flick a bic get a fire. The list goes on.
When you build your fire i couldn't help think of the episode of Andy Griffith when Barney and Gomer get lost in the woods...
Now we need a video of the 1980's
I so enjoy this series of outdoor videos which step back in time. I think that we can all benefit today from the lessons learned in the past. Waypoint Survival puts so effort into making the videos as authentic and informative as possible. I keep going back and watching this series over and over again. God bless you and enjoy everyday. - Tennessee Smoky
Your harmonica playing brings back memories of my dad. He played the harmonica and the mouth harp. He was so very good at it. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. ☺️😊
Your videos are so impressive . That’s an understatement really . I really enjoy this. A step back in history and in style , so neat and cool . Job well done sir .
Just amazing! After watching this, there is no reason we shouldn’t be thriving when we hit the backcountry these days. We have the lightest gear now, than we ever have - yet I still find myself over filling my pack and walking around with 60lbs on my back 😂
I so enjoy your videos James!! Your passion really comes through the screen 😁
Looks like you truly enjoyed making this vid. Your gear is a far cry from today's high tech solutions but demonstrates that with the proper equipment, skills and knowledge, you can survive and even thrive in the wilds. Thanks for inviting and taking us along.
Great video!
A most excellent trip back in time, thank you! Your equipment details are excellent. I'm looking forward to Part 2!
