    So simple. So practical. So different than how everyone does it. So commonly seen in source artwork, once you're actually paying attention to it.
    I think I will try this, and add a little extra detail: two little reinforced handsewn eyelets at the points where I will be wanting to shove that big honking pin through again and again, to reinforce the fabric and prevent damage.

    A simple but very useful tutorial. I've come to believe everyone should have a wool blanket handy (in part for its natural properties of providing warmth, and water and flame resistance), with assorted survival/emergency supplies, ready to leave - if necessary, on a moment's notice. Thus if a major disaster hits (e.g., house on fire, earthquake, flood, riot, etc.) and you really need to run, grab it with a small pack or satchel and head out the door. You'll at least have a simple combination garment and blanket along with whatever other items you can carry.

    Awesome video! What a cool intro. Listen to Saboton - Shadows it's Lord of the Rings Metal!
    I was thinking about doing this same setup with a Shower curtain or plastic tarp, keep it in your bag and it's basically a Poncho and wind shelter and emergency tarp. You can wear it first and then find the ideal holes and add grommets for very cheap or use a lighter to melt a hole in the plastic shower curtain (melting the hole prevents it from tearing further) and use the hole for the brooch pennular blanket pin thing shown here in this video.
    I really want to try it with a shower curtain because it's so easy to find but a regular water proof tarp can quickly be turned into a rainproof poncho using this same thing and you can carry it alongside a blanket so you have both available. Though if you poke a hole through any plastic material for the blanket pin you risk not being able to use that material for a rainproof tarp shelter, but it's a small hole and a tiny piece of tape in your pack can fix that should the need arise.

In smoking meats and hides , a smoke house is made (it can be a cardboard box for a refrigerator) and smoke is directed into the bottom of the box with stove pipe or some other ducting . With the items hanging in the center of the box , it is completely permitted with smoke . Of course, vent holes need to be cut around the top sides for the smoke to escape . Make sure the smoke source is at least 4 feet away to keep the smoke cooler .

      Good question! Many tasks might have been made a little clumsy or hazardous while wearing a cloak. Some medieval reenactors, for instance, insist on wearing their cloaks in battle; I think it would be good to drop it, since you're more at risk of being chopped in half rather than freezing to death. I'm sure I can start a fire, however, while wearing a cloak. I'll work on that.

    • @pagurotraduzioni202
      @pagurotraduzioni202 7 лет назад

      No, not a good question. I had to watch your other videos! I am happy you answered positively! Perhaps, the question can become "How they were starting a fire in "System D" situation, when there was little time to think, what was their first choice?
      Subcosciously I think their steel would have been the cloak brooch itself, and they were skilled enough to find a flint along the way? Maybe they favored places where to find a flint was easier?
      Anyway, congratulations for your videos, which are inspiring and evocative.

    Remember that weird little smart kid in junior high who always ruined the grade curve and used to get his ass kicked every day? Ever wonder what happened to him? I found him! Just kidding Kortoso. Thanks for a great video. I use your ideas all the time when I hike in the mountains. I've been trying to figure out a good way to wear a blanket when using hiking poles . . . and there it is. You're a creative guy and I appreciate you sharing your ideas with us. God Bless and thanks again.

    Man... I always said I wish I would have been born back in the dark Ages instead. Lol
    Would be so much more simple and rewarding style of life.
    Quality of life and the land/animals would have been better I think too

      I’d have to disagree with you there, living near starvation and working yourself to the bone for even the most measly of lifestyles. Having little to no money, one set of clothes maybe 2 if you’re lucky, constantly fighting off starvation where even one bad harvest could mean not making it through winter. No heating no refrigeration no air conditioning no modern medicine no proper lighting no nothing, hell an ingrown toenail could kill you. Most of your toil goes towards the lord that owns the land you work, and whenever your overlords go to war you’re gonna be drafted in as arrow fodder. Forget armor and swords, think a spear if you’re lucky, and you have to buy that yourself. And if you were lucky enough to not be thrown into battle you’d probably have your crops stolen for food by traveling armies, resulting in starvation for you and those around you.
      It was great if you were born into a trade or nobility, but most likely if you were born back then you wouldn’t live past infancy, and even if you did you’d still be bottom of the barrel.
      I could go on with how horrible it was during the feudal era for an average person but it’d be pages upon pages long.
      Don’t take for granted what you have now, sure life is complicated but it’s better than the short miserable lives that most people had to live centuries past.
      The great empires of yore were built on the backs of the forgotten and downtrodden, always remember that.

      And this is coming from a history nerd, I love history and I wish I could’ve seen what it actually looked like… but I sure as hell am glad I won the lottery of human existence and was born in the modern era

      Just go LARPing or do living history/reenactment, there are plenty of medieval villages which are being building in the way according to the time they are supposed to be from etc. You can help out building those (I don‘t know what you need for an application) if you „only“ do LARP (I‘m a former archaeologist and ongoing LARPer) you‘ll still learn to appreaciate your comfort of home.
      It‘s nice not having running water supplies, go out and play the warrior/merchant/scribe what ever you wanna be for a week but after that? You can just go back to the comfort of your home.
