Imagine being on a backpacking trip and running into this madman on the trail

Awesome! always impressed to see how functional old style gear is and a nice change from the ultra marketed modern market. Keep it up

Thank you for such a lovely video! Your kit is amazing. I am thinking of starting to make myself some Irish clothing from the Early Period (about 800 AD), which is pretty similar to yours (minus the large sleeves). I am from South Cymru (Wales) and have always loved Irish culture, as we are both Celts. Keep up the great work. Take care friend, Sláinte👍

Beautiful video, I really enjoyed it. Soothing, tranquil, and well-cut too. I liked seeing the gear in action and hope you passed a nice, contemplative, and enjoyable night out there!

Absolutely love the butter in the lettuce? Cabbage? Leaf. I never would have thought of that. Of course, I live on the edge of the desert so the weathers not cool enough to do that about 8-9 months of the year.

👍 👍 👍 great video

Awesome

Loved it, bravo!

Nice job hope no ticks was hiding in moss love the knife love fack no modern junk thats exactly my attitude too 👍🇬🇧🦊🐾🍀

Wonderfull, mate

Watch your sleeves, my dear!

This is the content I dream about on KZfaq. Thank you honestly. I have a question, where did you get the brat from? It's the next item I need for my own reenactment

Really, really good stuff. Good to see ground being prepared and setting up. Love the Leine, Brat and cap combo, Great video 😁😁😁

Looked like fun

Another great video! Now I am curious about the food medieval Irish people ate before the Columbian Exchange. From my very little research it seems that its was mostly a grain and dairy based diet supplemented by local vegetation, and meat/fish. Perhaps an interesting series could be made from this; particularly the amount of variety in dairy products that they made. Also this is a long shot ;) but are you aware of any finds or depictions of slings in Ireland? They are attested to in several stories like the Tain Bo Cuailnge, so it must have been an important weapon (at least culturally speaking). I would like to make my own Irish-style sling made from braided cords, but all my research reveals that they only used two leather thongs attached to a leather pouch. I'm not convinced that this was the only form of slings they made since it was such a revered weapon, and was curious if you knew anything more (perhaps another video idea!)

GG wp on the 1k! those sleeves look like they belong around the tribe meeting table and not out in the woods! i guess they'll shorten with time anyway after snagging, tripping and burning off the ends :) edit:that pack sack with frame is awesome looking! keep her lit!

So this leads to an interesting question: as you're out in the wilderness, should you run into an unpleasant fellow and are forced to engage, what would be your primary weapon of choice?

No... you don't put salt into a copper container - it causes the copper to degrade badly.

With all the effort you've gone to for historical accuracy, why the very modern wood stove? Are you not allowed to make a ground fire bespite it being rather damp in you camp site?

I can never get flint and tinder to work. I paused the video and pulled mine out to try again but I still cant seem to have any luck.

What kind of meat you got in there?

Did you make your brat?

Yeah nice blog but I doubt drovers or Hunters wouldn't of worn a dress the would of worn primitive wool shirts and blankets similar to a kilt and or the or sheep skin coats I like what your trying to portray but what your doing is a little impractical and not quite right
