That was great!  Thanks for posting that Ron.  Brought me back to days doing the reenactment of Spokane House and riding in to the camp in a great cargo canoe.
The AMM fellows in charge of the event kept hammering into us the thought that details really matter.  After watching this video, I see what they were talking about.  The most obvious in this film was the fellow steering the canoe certainly had the wrong vintage glasses on and about half way through the film, one of the guys flashed a great big gold wrist watch.  For what it's worth, eh.  That doesn't make it any less of a great video.
What an experience that must have been.
Thanks again for posting that, Ron.  Very enjoyable.

I noticed one fellow had modern work or hiking boots. Still a great video.

Our trip in 1979 was a hundred plus miles along the Canadian northern coast of Lake Superior. The land was uninhabited Provincial Park and it was much like it was 200 years ago. We had nothing modern except a camera and NO life preservers which came close to being our undoing when one of the sudden storms that the big lake is famous for caught us too far from shore.

You'll see no modern shoes or wrist watches on any of our crew, fires and pipes were lit by flint and steel. I'm eating from a wooded bowl with a spoon fashioned from horn

Just as I would have expected from you.  Again, bravo.
