The Story of a Frontier Suitcase
Description: How did Daniel Boone carry his extra clothes? In this episode, we take a closer look at Boone’s deerskin satchel, based on a brief mention by Boone's friend Peter Houston. This was the the frontier answer to modern-day travel gear. Join me as we explore how I interpreted this passage and made the deerskin bag, what it held, and why it symbolized the spirit of self-reliance on the American frontier. From deerhide to road worthy, this is a story about craftsmanship, adaptation, and survival — with a nod to the early #EDC (everyday clothing if you will) of the wilderness. Topics Covered: Who was Peter Houston?
