The Deerskin Diary - Invidious

The Deerskin Diary

Through visuals and immersive storytelling, I strive to bring stories of early American frontier history to life. From authentic reenactments, camping, trekking, and survival through in-depth explorations, each video is a visual time capsule that transports you to a bygone era. (For educators: Each one of my videos is safe for the classroom.)
