he is rich?

@@indianastones9884 He is the CEO of the game developer Rebellion, they made the Sniper Elite games.

@@Inquisitor_Askeladd Yeah When I first found this out after a few months of watching his videos I was surprised as well..

Raising all those horses is very expensive

Blacksmithrage5 Whaaat?

One does not just simply call his trusty horse "Warlord" and then expect him to walk slowly... this one is the son of the wind!

Not a sentence I thought I'd ever read

if you don't mind, can i ask a question? (since you seem to be quite experienced). Just how tiring is riding a horse? Is it comparable with riding a motorbike? While i kinda know that it's quite an exercise, i don't have an idea of how taxing it could be. If we have a normal old man (about 60-70 yrs old) - not particularly fit, but otherwise healthy - who have to ride a horse for 6-8 hours a day, 7 days a week (like during campaigns), how long do you think he can handle?

@@oldrabbit8290 That really is up to the person. It is much more tiring than riding a bike, no comparison to my mind. six to eight hours a day, seven days a week??? That one be one tough old coot to handle that but I have known men who worked and rode and lived in rough circumstances, who were strong as hell, as old men. But they were fit from working all the time. Outside physical work. Cross country riding is particularly tiring for you and the horse. Your number one responsibility and duty, is to take care of your horse. That has to be the first thought. A reasonably fit and healthy seventy year old who lives a normal not too physically demanding existence, would go through hell and have to be forced, at fist. Your back, your butt, your legs, all protest painfully. You need to stay alert and assist the horse with balance and know when to get off if in rough country. It is considerably less tiring than walking such distances, especially off maintained trails. I lived in mountainous terrain in northern British Columbia. Prospecting without horses or mules. I had a good little cabin for a home base. Walking a few miles in that country required stamina. I wasn't up to it when I first got there. It was a get strong or get gone situation. I mention it because I have traveled back country both with and without horses. Horses are much, much better.

@@macnutz4206 thanks for your quick reply - it helps me a lot with my story setting. Cheer!

@@oldrabbit8290 Aha! I pat myself upon the back. I thought it likely that you were building a story. I am a writer, I recognized the open ended parts of the question, the question based on a perhaps not completely formed Idea. Hope I was a bit useful. I have finished the second draft of my first novel, A southern gothic vampire story, of the sort I like. No sparkles, no young hotties in fetish clothes. I long to create a vampire that is actually scary, not something cool that you would want to become. Best of luck, broken legs, cracked mirrors, and all the best. :):) Writing can be like carving a tunnel through stone, chip, chip, chip...step, step, step...Stamina is key. :)

Did a horse trail when I was in Banff and I can now appreciate their value. My horse was called Homer which I thought was cool.

jomess7879 still better than MAFS

And it's free unlike death standing

Hahhahhhaaa, I know 😂😂😂 He is just a good presenter. AND I have always wondered this question as horses walking speed is not THAT much faster than human speed, but now I saw the sense in it from many aspects.

I was gonna say, I love how Warlord gets top billing.

They are the stars of the show.couldnt do without them

Same! I agree haha

In this video, the chicory flowers deserve an honourable mention. I imagine how people long ago looked at the flowers around them and desperately (at least in the bleak late autumn, equally bleak midwinter and muddy spring) wanted to surround themselves with colours in other things, like clothes, or, if you were rich, in paintings and tapestries, but I imagine the quest for coloured fabrics predates paintings by quite a substantial amount of time. And that quest was undertaken not for corporeal sustenance or survival.

Thanks, great additional information.

Very belated, but thoughts on riding vs putting your load on the horse and walking with little weight on your person?

@@dynamicworlds1 Slower than riding, but the horse can carry more stuff because it doesn’t also have to carry the person.

That was my thoughts. You had the ability to carry more supplies with you. It's not just about time.

@@dynamicworlds1 Pack horses/donkeys/mules are still used quite a lot in many places today. Probably moreso than riding horses.

Warlord: OK, now you have turned me towards the barn, now we run, right? right?...

Warlord: “THAT’S WHY YOU TOOK ME OUT OF THAT COMFY ROOM!?” *read in mildly annoyed English accent for best results*

Biased tho, Too much on the Dems side

I don't pay much attention to American politics. :) @@pekvek

@@michaelshort2388 I'm American, and neither do I.

@@ivorybow you'd think you'd care more about the west, given your interest in our history. We're experiencing some dangerous times, here in the U.S., and you would do well to keep track so you can do your part at least when you're conversing with people :P

Thanks.

Whaaaaat.. *Looks it up* WHAAAA- *Confirms with pictures* AAAAAAAA

Wtf is rebellion

Rebellion? Is that the company that organized the Brexit?

And he owns 2000ad . . . . Judge Dredd, Rogue trooper, Rojaws and Hammerstein, Robo Sam . . . . he owns my youthful memories . . ...

Forgive us our politicians, they still have no idea what they have done. And they never will. Once in hell, they'll have a better life. There is always hope.

That's him, lol.

warlord is like dadddddddd im a fancy pony

"I am speed!" said Warlord in horsish.

He really is a good boy.

I live in US and I have no idea what measures up to a yard. It is THAT obscure.

@@kendov288 I don't either since the US Army uses a mish mash of imperial and metric. We walk in miles but shoot in meters and read maps in kilometers.

@@StudleyDuderight Not to mention, you take bearings in mils, as opposed to mils or mils, which are abbreviations for millilitre and millimetre (or milliliter and millimeter)

@@kendov288 How about football?

@@kendov288 really? 1 yard=3 ft If you ever saw one of those really long rulers in school it was probably a yardstick. (Which, imo, are about the proper length for a bastard sword) I find 3ft incriments are really useful for easy estimation of distances in day-to-day life and bonus: 1 yard is roughly equal to 1 meter so as long as you've got a bit of fudge room for your measurements, you can hope right over to metric there. It's one of the most practical units to be familiar with in the imperial system.

I think up to 50km per day is doable for almost anyone relatively fit and not too old, on ok roads and without too much elevation at least. Dam i know mountaneers that climb 2 kilometer peak per day for the whole summer, and some of them in their mid 60s (i dont think i could hold the pace with them and i am in my 20s), what i wanted to say is we underestimate what a human body can do, even with modest training we are made for long distances :)

Oh by the way very interesting information, and ofc roads were horrible in that times, and army moves slowely plus soliders carry a lot of weight so 2 days for an army seemes fine i'd say :)

30km a day is what we did at 16yo. That would be a good standard for normal travel on foot while carrying a backpack, that can be easily kept up for multiple days. In the military they would march more though, and with a lot of weight too. There is even an annual event where I live where they walk 100km in 24hours (in rocky, hilly terrain). Some even run that distance in like 10 hours.

@Pouty MacPotatohead the problem would be baggage trains and collums usually cant move as fast as individuals, but still 36 km isnt too hard (unles in umpleasent enviroment as swamps, snow or hills). Not all armies were as organised as Napoleon, but i agree with you, anyone that is able to fight should be able to walk that far without too much problems.. about running, i dont know, it just isnt efficient, you burn a lot of calories running and getting to your destination totally exhausted doesnt seem like too good of an option :D

@@MrAljosa12 What is doable in dire need and what is sensible and comfortable in no rush are two very different things, though. I do hiking in Lapland, and while I know people who have covered 50 kms in one day (and night...), there's little pleasure to that. And after it you need plenty of recovering.

I couldn't agree with you more,, there are some strange people about!

Flat earthers.lol

The thumb down should really just be changed to “next random channel since you clicked to watch this and are bored or hate it”

It was warlord because he wasn't allowed to run

because while its an awesome thing for him to do, hes sadly probably losing money doing it.

Sadly it seems more like a hobby than a job

Techno Toad - Yes, they’d be KZfaq commenters...

Techno Toad - Not here; I’m an archaeologist - an Egyptologist, in fact.

@@dorianphilotheates3769 how do you get paid in that profession?

Thanks for your support.

Cute, but where's the dragon?

And here in Finland we would ski in winter.

I saw an interview witha very elderly woman from around the 1960s. She talked about how they would almost pray for snow in the winter when she was a child so that they could use the horse drawn sleigh. She said it was a much better way to get around than using the roads as normal.

Thanks for your support and kind words too!

And in "The Quiet Man", a 'properly' horse will automatically stop in front of the Pub!

@@nancyomalley9959 had one like that😒

Very interesting!

A person typically walks at 3 miles /h. Towns/cities typically developed where there were abundant resources. Why certain areas in Wales are less populated then certain areas in England. Wales had the coal mines, and a decent textile industry, but it couldn't compete with the likes of Manchester and when the coal mines shut down whole towns dried up. Not much to do with travel distance, everything to do with economics.

Lots of Dutchies here. Engelen. Kooistra. Van Wijk. Voor Naam.

MsBizzyGurl and bring back my drunken grandpa from the tavern without GPS in days of yore.

Yes, this is very true, but it surprises me. I would have thought a horse would be happy to go for a walk just like a dog. Maybe the issue is they don't like carrying people.

@@Dennis-zf3tu I think it's the reward they get. Then tend to get a treat, fresh food and a brushing after a ride.

Remodel your barn to look like a glue factory.

Dennis they actually enjoy working kinda like dogs do.

Especially when you train him to joust

No, just me again, your optometrist. I came back in the room to inform you that you have cataracts.

Unless you are a dress historian. Then, nope :P

Thanks for watching.

Thank you for noticing.

A horse is also very practical work companion. You ride horse to the field, market, or worksite; load the finished goods on the horse which he carries while you walk alongside on the way home. Much like driving a pickup or ute today - you can always pull or carry larger load than yourself!

Officers on horseback have to check both ends of the unit, repeatedly, so that extra gets used up.

Sounds interesting, what was the documentary called?

Have ridden both ponies and (proper -seriously?) horses of various breeds. Believe me all of them can canter and all of them can gallop.

@@verandisoldusty6834 I'm not a horse person, so please forgive a lack of right terms! The information comes from some video source(s) demonstrating some sort of faster-than-a-walk that some pony breeds do that horse breeds cannot so much. It has been a really long time, so I may also be misusing the word "canter" when it is something with an entirely different title, but now I definitely don't remember what it is. So, I thank you for the clarification. As for "proper" horse, I mean more ... here in the US, it seems people will get a horse, or a smaller horse, and they're horses. In the videos mentioned above, there were differences between horses and ponies, that one method of brisk walking supposedly being something the pony can do but horses typically do not.

NobodyWhatsoever they may have been referring to some kind of gaiting pony, but there are certainly gaited horses as well. They were called palfreys and were used specifically for travel over rough roads.

@@dawnjohnson7688 It's quite possible. I saw the documentary many years ago, so I don't remember enough specifics to be certain I didn't misname something in my post.

Lol, what a great idea.

Thanks and hello

Your English is fine. No need for apologies, just keep doing your best!

Your English isn't bad, it's good enough to understand what you mean :-) If it's any help, "I simply love your Videos! They are so much informations in it! And they are so interesting explained!" Would probably be written by a native English speaker as, I simply love your Videos! There is so much information in them! Your explanations are so interesting! As someone who has no skill with foreign languages I'm impressed with your ability.

Yann Gaudreault same with the horse. A trained horse can sustain a faster pace easily for hours on end.

Over 5 Km your point makes sense but if you are walking all day with 1 break for food and drink you are going to pace yourself or else wear yourself out long before you get halfway through your day's travel. Experienced travellers, traders, etc. would have learned to pace themselves.

@@verandisoldusty6834 Well, just look, at the distance Army's where expected to cover on foot. Napeleon would cover 30 miles a day. In a 7 hour march. This is faster then I did with a full military kit : www.pbs.org/empires/napoleon/n_war/soldier/page_1.html.

we're working on it, but I do these for fun and education.

The sad thing is this will get overlooked by most people because there's not enough smash cuts and flashy graphics. Just a shame because I love these videos, far more informative

@@jasonkingsley2762 Yeah but the production quality is REALLY high considering these are weekly youtube videos with little income. And making these takes a lot of effort so Thank You for doing these! I hope you will get more subs and can earn more money with the videos so you can really afford the time, money and effort that goes into these videos. I was honestly surprised that I found a medieval themed channel this high quality that I had know idea existed! Well the low subscriber count can be explained by that it is a relatively new channel so I have no doubt that this is gonna blow up!

@@jasonkingsley2762 Your knight series is such a great production quality that I was convinced is a TV show just uploaded to KZfaq! Absolutely amazing.
