This is fucking hilarious

i was just at mackinac island yesterday 🤭

Resorting to Clickbait? Really?

The 7 years war depleted the Br exchequer and made the AM Revolt much easier. It wasn't better leadership, it was dumb luck the U S won. The British population was tired of war. And guess what? Their King actually listened. I'm all for monarchy.

I love it there! It is beautiful!

If Holmes did it go to the left flank and be attacked by the Indians, then he could have survived the battle. Holmes was only twenty years old! So sad that war happens.

There is a video on YT in which James Burke undresses from an Apollo Mission spacesuit. In comparison to this, the spacesuit was a less involved piece of kit.

I love this fort!

❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

🪶🐢🏝️❤️☮️ to my family Little band of Mackinaw indians

Why no representation still yet from Little Mackinaw band JESUS CHRIST WHAT ABOUT US

Was the purpose of wearing a leather/horsehair stock to protect the neck in conflict? They don’t seem to have worn any other kind of protective clothing, so I’m curious as to why they wore such a thick, stiff item around the neck.

What’s the name of the leather or woven horsehair item that goes around the neck?

What a terrific presenter. Knowledgeable and clear speaking skills. Brilliant!

MORE!

Missing the onion on his belt

It would be really cool to do a dive on this with underwater metal detectors!

1:52 “Stailors” should indeed stay away. 😉 13:10 I would have been relieved of my fog whistle duties for using it to cover the sound of my burps and farts, both of which are indeed “stay away” worthy.

why no wig?

So that’s where the term freezing your balls off came from. Thanks

Wow...thank you for all that..very interesting

I enjoy looking at historical paintings and wondering what it would have been like at that particular place and time. And I can tell that you do too!😃 This Canadian thanks you for your splendid videos. 👍

Looks like an awesome historical park down in Mackinaw City! Sorta reminiscent of how Fort Edmonton park used to be.

Where could I buy this stuff?

Outstanding presentation. Just fascinating.

I found it fascinating how they built a "clutch" into these mechanisms to perform, really, the same function as a transmission clutch - disengage the gears in order to switch to other gears.

Very good video

My husband was in the grenadier’s in the 70’s. Different uniform although they still have a brass grenade as a cap badge.

Maybe we’ll see you’ll in August…love the Highland Uniforms…

pov: Lexington and concord players before a battle

Why didn’t you do a continental solider not militia but just a regular solider

Some of my French Canadian ancestors were voyageurs.

I wonder if those old letters still be in the old treasure box in shipwreck🤔💭

VERY INFORMATIVE SIR .

Thanks so much! We homeschool and our activity books had paper dolls to show how people in colonial times dress, but I wanted my children to have a better understanding. You explained the process so well and we're so grateful how easy it is to get dressed in modern times

Very good, sir ! I have researched this battle when I was on the island. Such a shame about the golf course.

GENIAL

WE NEED MORE UNIFORM VIDEOS and maybe ones on flags both British and American forces

Wow, What's the location of this?

We were taught to sing The British Grenadier in school over 60 years ago. You could change the words, of course, e.g. "You'll be alright, in the middle of the night, with a British Granadier".

84th regiment operating out of new jersey representing! Love the videos

I grew up on my moms old log cabin farm at the tip of the mitt in MI. Her family were original voyageurs from Nova Scotia. She taught us survival fieldcraft and was an an amazing woman who could fish/hunt/trap super well. She grew up with a pet bear. e grew up learning to live in the woods of MI with nothing but our guns/bows/traps and a piece of pastic sometimes for cover otherwise we made small camp enclosures. It was an incredible time growing up with our parents teaching us the old ways that we have taught our children. We did many trip to Mackinaw Island and there is so much history in that area. Thank yiu for a great representation on just the utilitarian clothing style of the early voyageurs. Watching more on the channel!!!.

That was the Frizzen. The hammer holds the flint.

I had family on the island then Native American great grama x6 and French grandfather x6 Grand x 5 had two sons on 1832 and 1834

My unit, His Majesty's 84th. Royal Highland Immigrants Company C, were stationed at that fort! We used to say we were the only area appropriate unit, as members of the 84th were sent to the area of what is now Milwaukee Wisconsin on His Majesty's Ship the Felicity to check out rumors of unrest among the Native Americans there. My redcoat, regimental stockings, and cotton duck breaches are still cherished belongings! But I HATED our leather neck stocks!

In war by the time they got dress, they would be dead.. 😅

Sounds good to me

A follow up note on the Sporrans. Most references to the 84th would have been either of Badger or Raccoon in the American Theatre of War. I myself have a replica copy of Colonel Alexander MacLean's own sporran which (since I am a Sergeant of the Regiment) has a badger's head mounted on the front of the sporran. Most privates would simply have ones like yours, with just the fur coat of the beast, and Pipers, Drummers, or officers would have brass plates on theirs.
