Peter raises the Union Jack over Kelly Station (soon to be switched over to the period correct flag, "Kings Colours"), then gives a tour of progress to date: the privy and smoke house moved inside the planned palisade, the framing for the wall across the end of the pond and the site for the barracks. He saves the progress on the powder magazine to share with his wee bit of history.

He also welcomes Koen Tholhuijsen, a fellow outdoor enthusiast, accomplished musician, YouTube creator, and helping hand at the fort. Together they, with the help of Koen's dog, Lex, spread straw over the mud and begin construction of the first blockhouse.

The music Koen plays is written by Marcel La Haye.
