About

The Woodland Escape takes you on a journey into self-sufficient living and the untamed wilderness. Our channel brings North American history to life, showcasing the skills and survival techniques of the pioneers who first carved out a life on this land. Along the way, we introduce you to passionate historical reenactors, artisans, and musicians who keep this era alive through their craft and storytelling. From building Kelly Station - a traditional frontier fortified homestaed, crafting tools to wilderness cooking and hunting, each episode immerses you in the skills that sustained early settlers. We also bridge history and the modern day, offering glimpses of contemporary camping, canoeing, and hunting expeditions, and contrasting today’s tools with the simple ingenuity of the past. If you’re drawn to history, bushcraft, and authentic living close to nature, The Woodland Escape is your invitation to step into the past while and pickup a wee bit of history along the way.
