    2:30 For those curious, that's actually a bedroll, not a tire. A lot of the time, soldiers in professional armies during the early 18th century and onwards up until the mid-late 19th century didn't have the space in their issued rucksacks to store their bedrolls while on march, and would instead tie them together and wear them like a sash so they didn't have to carry them with their arms. This was mostly seen on the French troops of the 18th century. However, the British, Prussian, and Russian armies were shown to use that concept to some extent as well.

I was very basic, but still burned myself out after a while trying to make 10+min captioned videos every couple days though😅. I can't imagine how long it takes at the level of your captions. This old padawan wouldn't have gotten as far as I did without your inspiration & lessons, you're a master, thank you.
