So many times, host of a show do not give the space needed and do not shut up. I am glad that you allow your guest on your show to do their thing and be so well presented.

One of the most beautiful things about John is that he said "I wish everyone could have a kit like that." Not him, not we, everyone. He has seen an super interesting thing and he just wishes EVERYONE could share that.

Holds true to day as it did back then. This old infantry saying “Travel light freeze at night”. Very cool insight into an woodsman’ thanks for sharing.
-
Wow, great sport dragging out his whole kit for us! Be sure to let him know that is appreciated by your fans Jon. Excellent!
-
I stayed at a Best Western once so I know all about roughing it.
-
I want to see you on the History Channel. So tired of watching Pawn Stars and American Pickers. I understand that some of that is history however what you give us is true history.

“In this pouch I keep my beard in case it gets really really cold.”

I run a backpacking company in the Smokies. It's really interesting to see how someone might travel in the backcountry in the 18th century! Thanks for sharing. I love the channel!

As a D&D player. This really puts things into perspective when you're equipping your character's gear.

Woot woot !!!! Nice job trekked a few miles with Paul , the real deal !
-
I'm gonna call it now... this guy is MARSOC during the week
-
Thank you Jon and Paul. I was glad that he actually carries 21st century items and keeps them concealed in time period way. Others you have interviewed say they leave them in their vehicle or outside of the camp. He hikes in and there are times you may need them. Once again, thank you!

It would have been nice if he said. "In this last pouch... I keep my phone in there as well to warn the general that the British are coming."
-
John, you ask the expert the right questions and the let them do their thing. This is so much better than those channels that think they are more important than the content. Your passion is 1000x bigger than your ego. Respect.

Townsends Trek: The Nutmeg Generation

I'm so loving these videos that show little known (today) things that our ancestors used in their ordinary daily life. You are putting out some great videos - even though I really love the cooking vids, these are so informative. Mending your shoes as you travel must have been a constant necessity that we would never think of today unless we were really into hiking and such.
-
Really nice kit and very nicely thought out. There's a reason for its displacement and placement in the world. And that's very important for someone taking their time to recreate period correct things, as there were little luxuries back then. One of my favorite things to imagine would be, what the reactions of the folk back then, be, if a time traveler were to show up and detail the contents of their backpack. :) Awesome episode, very much appreciated.

Reliving the 1500-1700s as a 2000~ person is such a good time! Acctualy living back there compared to now is maybe not so desirable. but as a weekend or week adventure. is so. SO much fun =w=
-
I wonder if men back in the 1700s went around carrying 200 year old technology just to keep the tradition going?
-
Could you two do a two day hike and show us what it would be like? Would be great to see. Does Paul have an own channel?
