Wind at My Back


Called Canadian Waltons. TV series, 5 seasons + film.

-Year: 1996-2001
-Year in film: 1932- ~1937
-Country: Canada
-Who in bibs: boys Fat, Hub 10-17, girl Maisey ~15, men, boys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: Seasons 1, 3
-Bib occurrence: medium
-Rating:  8/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: 2 brothers sometimes wearing bibs. Nice. Also bicycle driving (season 3, ep 39). There is also the teen girl Maisey, see post Story 23 Tomboys and also some men and other teen boys (~17ys, sporting in ep. 4) in bibs. Not as good and authentic as The Waltons but there are few series like this. Brothers' age is ~10 (Tyrone Savage as Fat) and 12 ys (Dylan Provencher as Hub) in season 1; 13 and 15 ys in season 3. Hub does farm work in medium blue bibs (ep. 6). Later also in raw denim bibs (ep 38). Image on top showing Hub (left) and Fat in s1e2, pic right Fat (left) and Hub in raw denim bibs.
Bibs of Fat in season 3 are a bit baggy and long (legs cuffed up). The other teen boys are not worth showing.

Ep 6 is very good where Hub needs a toilet on the fields.


DVD: Both seasons I own are AUS PAL DVDs (RC 0). English language only. No subtitles. Extras Behind the Scenes (I think both the same). Very good also featuring Fat in bibs there.

Update: Also see the following later entries (with some more pics f/m) Previously rated 7, now 8.

Brands: Fat in later seasons, Hub in season 3 (raw denim), Maisey: Dickies. Hub in season 1+2: Carhartt. Other boy in season 2: Calvin Klein? (not 30s). In s3e31 Hub and Maisey also in Carhartt.
