Welcome to Frontier Trading Company

Preserving the 18th-Century American Frontier

Modern videography meets 18th-century living

Every piece of video media requires cameras, lighting, and above all – a plan. I work hard to bring these elements together in a way that honors America’s 18th-century past.

The FTC YouTube channel is composed of three primary series: camping, do-it-yourself, and a Q&A-style lecture series where I address questions found in the comments section with documentable history.

I have worked hard over the past few years to develop some of the highest quality and most authentic goods on the market. There is more coming to the FTC shop page soon!

More about FTC

I launched the Frontier Trading Company YouTube channel in a dorm room as a college hobby project. After four years of demonstrating life on the Ohio frontier at a Scout camp throughout high school, I wanted to keep the passion alive and share my growing skillsets with the rest of the living history community.
