Came here from Ron and Justine’s channels, and I’m not sad I did! I adore listening to you tell stories and share the early American lifestyle! I’m going to binge all your videos now!
Johnstown, NY founded and named by Sir William Johnson, I live in his back yard, lol. His residence is still standing. The history of this man and the area he was responsible for played a major role in New York history. If u ever get the chance visit his homes in Johnstown, ny. Also read a book called The Bloody Mohawk. The history of this area is unbelievable. Thanks again for another great video.
If only all history teachers could start their classes off with a fresh pot of coffee and a campfire….I think they would capture the minds of every student for a lifetime, and also a few others 😉
New subscriber. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and thanks for the way you integrate history lessons in the videos.

Thanks for sharing and giving us a little know history lesson blessings to all
An interesting, informative, and enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing your fire with us.
Wanted to tell you thanks for sharing your life. Always enjoyed your work and story’s. I’ve been rewatching all your cabin building videos. Just this past week I closed on a wooded property in the Ozark. It’s a little way from home ( 1hr) and I’m praying I’ll get to build a cabin similar to y’all’s. God bless y’all.

Such a great video. I believe the term 'Hill Billy' was given to the Scotch Irish immigrants who settled in America. They tended to settle in the hills and 'Billy' is referring to King William of Orange. I'm from Ireland myself, County Donegal to be exact and its always interesting to hear stories of the Irish settlers in America.
Always enjoy the history lessons Peter. Thanks for sharing and always look forward to the next video.
One of your best vids yet! Thanks and would like to hear more about Willliam Johnson!
Awesome video I could smell the coffee hear and Salisbury NC take care and stay warm and safe .
Thank you for sharing these interesting stories. Another uplifting video. I'm looking forward to your videos with Spring/Summer landscapes. Keep up the good work!
I continue to be struck by how small the White-tails are compared with our western Mules.

Onward and Upward is the watchword.
Great episode!
Loved it felt like I was setting there with you keep them coming
My line! Scots, Irish, Welsh…
I am a student of the French and Indian war reading all I can about it. Yes I've read extensively about Sir William Johnson and his accomplishments. Always thought he was sort of an unsung hero, if you will. Thanks.
Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and listening to your stories Peter.
The"Frontier Man" right at home and settle in. I love it !
Thank you for the fascinating history lesson, Peter!
An excellent read about William Johnson is " Wilderness Empire" by Allan A Eckert. I have all 611 pages and could not put the book down.
Beautiful animals in the opening, is it deer? Really enjoy your channel in the wilderness. Thank you for shearing.

Very interesting old friend. I would love to sit around a warm fire and listen to your great stories.
History is always a good topic. Still a key point left out and one still burning in the minds of some (the aware) Americans; Sir William Johnson was a "RED COAT" even if he passed away in New York. I think the prelude to the video: The two young deer. One was highly spooked and the other oblivious as they were being watched (camera representing – take a guess) – Think America and Canada. Due to pride and not wanting to offend, I'll let the reader decide which one was which. Thanks for the video and history. Things; in a way, haven't changed. Canada's demeanor and America's remains the same … how odd that is? I also believe the relationship between the two countries is as blended as our histories… Like two brothers. Hence, why Americans are not pleased with the recent actions taken against the Canadian people. (JF)
What a fabulous story. So very great to learn this, thanks
Love the " we bit of history " and can't wait to see the canoe
Another great history lessons from Peter.
Thank You Very Much for this video. 🙂
