Thanks Jon, for answering my question on the stream! I appreciate it!

2021-01-28 22:39:46 +0000 UTCI've been studying my family tree for years, but didnt find out until I moved to NY that some were original Palatine settlers in the Schoharie Valley! It's so strange to try and picture how it must have looked then, with nothing but trees. I hope they don't cut support. :/

2021-01-28 01:39:53 +0000 UTCI have:t seen a video of yours that I didn’t enjoy yet. Keep using your imagination and don’t worry quite as much about what others will think about it. Keep up the fantastic work. Thank you. I love your videos

2021-01-27 22:25:55 +0000 UTCHeather, I loved Sturbridge as a child and visited there on my honeymoon as well. I live so close to the Old Stone Fort I could hit it by throwing a rock! Right now, unfortunately, it is closed due to COVID19. Our Board of Supervisors in Schoharie County had talked about limiting the funding to it as well. I hope they realize what a detriment that would be to the tourism here.

2021-01-27 22:13:14 +0000 UTCI love those two sites, Lori! Maybe I will see you there this summer. :)

2021-01-27 22:08:31 +0000 UTCThey've been domesticated for at least 3,000 years. But you need a pigeon handler on both ends of the flight.

2021-01-27 22:07:33 +0000 UTCI think it's the same as they sell in the online shop. The one they sell is very nice.
Heather Torrey
2021-01-27 22:04:42 +0000 UTCFantastic, thank you! You spoke about a book that's massive and worth reading or listening to. Can you say again what that was? (I had a call during that time, eeps!)

2021-01-27 22:04:02 +0000 UTCThanks, these Patreon meetings are great!

2021-01-27 21:52:49 +0000 UTCI just received my set of three teas, I tried the black bohea tea and it is amazing. Enjoying it while watching this live stream. Love The channel!

2021-01-27 21:18:57 +0000 UTCDo you have a copy of Revolutionary America 1763 to 1800?
Philip Esteban
2021-01-27 21:00:17 +0000 UTCHey Jon where can I get a nutmeg grater like yours?
Caden Forbes
2021-01-27 20:56:47 +0000 UTCI think they just had more people to feed then... An average family had more than 2.5 children, and i doubt they wrote down (or looked up) receipts for "every day meals" they'd have looked them up for Special Occasions.

2021-01-27 20:18:05 +0000 UTCHow would people camp cook in windy conditions? Would they did a hole? Would that help shield the wind? Are there ways to make fires hotter?
John & Sarah Talley
2021-01-27 20:05:04 +0000 UTCRecipes from the 18th century always seem to involve such enormous quantities. Pounds of butter, dozens of eggs, pounds of sugar and flour. Did people just make more because cooking was such a chore to do (fire prep etc) or did they eat a lot more?
Mike Kruk
2021-01-27 19:39:52 +0000 UTCWould Raised Beds be used for the kitchen garden, or was it most likely they'd have just planted directly in the ground?
Sue O'Connor
2021-01-27 17:09:52 +0000 UTCAre Homing Pigeons a different breed than the common variety statue decorator, or is it a matter of taming and training?
Sue O'Connor
2021-01-27 17:05:29 +0000 UTCAdding to this question... What kind of furnishing is planned for the cabin?
Sue O'Connor
2021-01-27 17:02:54 +0000 UTCI'm assuming it as frowned upon but were women allowed in 18th Century coffee houses ?

2021-01-27 16:13:38 +0000 UTCLori...I worked in the gift shop at Old Sturbridge Village until the covid shutdown ended my employment there. Sadly, OSV has changed their narrative and has re-written history to become "politically correct" and has become a very left-wing liberal historical venue, and as a conservative Christian, I can't support that. I grew up in upstate NY ...Rochester area...and Genesee Country Village, in Mumford, NY, is a much nicer venue, with much more to offer :)

2021-01-27 04:22:01 +0000 UTCWhen did homing pigeons begin to be kept and used for messages?
Quicksilver
2021-01-27 02:10:39 +0000 UTCWondering if you’ve ever visited Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts or Old Stone Fort in Schoharie, NY?
Lori Proudman-Knoebel
2021-01-27 02:03:41 +0000 UTCI like stagecoach technology of the era. It's fun to see videos about them, plus the horse aspect alone is fun to look at! On top of that you have long journeys and the preparation for travel.
Ben Lindelof
2021-01-27 01:07:45 +0000 UTCAny chance for getting the nutmeg tavern logo on a sweater or hoodie at some point???? I think it would look great on tan, navy, or dark green fabric.
Becca
2021-01-26 23:52:55 +0000 UTCHmmm, how about some strategies used to keep warm in the harsh winter months? Some of the art you have shown, depicted children in snow and ice barefoot. How did the poor folk fight winter conditions? Which foods were used to warm the body? What home modifications were used to stay warm such as bedding, finding wood in the snow, and keeping children and babies warm?
Matthew H
2021-01-26 23:05:29 +0000 UTCWhat are your thoughts on why Americans have different names for things then the UK does? Example windshield instead of windscreen and not pronouncing the h in herb. Love the channel and wish you all the best.
Joyce Johnson
2021-01-26 21:07:24 +0000 UTCHi Jon! I’m interested in your background. Where did you go to school to learn all of your skills? What about your family?
David Kaff
2021-01-26 19:57:40 +0000 UTCDid you three sleep in the cabin all night? Or was that just for the video? Speaking of--how about talking about beds and bedding on the frontier--I am sure in the "settled" areas they had regular beds--what did people use on the frontier in their cabins? Any plans to build a bed for the cabin?
Brigit Zent
2021-01-26 18:01:14 +0000 UTCThanks BvD. Any other ideas folks? Were smoke signals a real thing with the various native tribes and did colonists adopt them?

2021-01-26 17:16:08 +0000 UTCMy wife makes hand made soap and candles. It would be really neat to see how they did those things in the 18th century!
Thomas Young
2021-01-26 16:37:11 +0000 UTCI made the mushroom ketchup following your video, it turned out awesome. My question is, how long will it keep it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator? I tossed it after a few weeks. I still have and use the dried mushrooms. Thanks.
Amy Abnet
2021-01-26 16:26:03 +0000 UTCI've been part of an 18th-19th century camping group for almost 15 years now. At these camps we typically have contests involving tomahawk and knife throwing, flint and steel, black powder rifle, etc. Did people in the time period ever compete at these skills, or were they considered too mundane for that sort of thing?
Robert Kaehler
2021-01-26 16:15:16 +0000 UTCIn the 18th Century did they have aalternative forms of long distance communications besides mail or messangers? Like signal lights, smoke, mirrors, bells? Thanks, Hal Meng
