what a pleasure to watch. I really appreciate all of your content but the pure almost zen like dedication you put into filming, editing and crafting is one of a kind. outstandingly beautiful. i'm gonna give this quiver a try. thanks
Having tried a back quiver, with all of its disastrous flaws, I cannot believe our medieval forebears would have used such a useless thing. Those people knew more about Longbow archery than we're ever likely to know, so I'd have to ask what evidence is there for back quivers being in general use? My suspicion is that they are a Hollywood invention, just like the unpractical horns on Hollywood viking helmets. But, maybe I'm wrong: I'd be interested to learn of any historical evidence. Meanwhile, keep on making great Longbows and associated equipment. Rick (Lancastrian Longbowman)
It isn't a back quiver, it's a carrying device, various period pictures of it in use, also the leather spacers are based on those found on the Mary Rose.
Rick, Have a look at the Bayeux Tapestry depicting the Battle of Hastings , there is a group of four Norman archers one of which appears to be wearing a back quiver .
Back quivers were popular in the Americas and Africa being used by locals and were commonly depicted in Assyrian art. Horned viking helmets were a fabrication ofCarl Emil Doepler's version of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen in 1876, though have some loose basis in reality, with Wagner possibly Grevensvænge figurines, Torslunda plates and the Waterloo helmet serving as inspiration for them.

Hallo thanks for very nice video! What g/sm is your fabric?
Glad you like the video, the next time i get a spare bit of fabric I will cut out a 100cm2 peice to weigh and let you know.
thanks a lot, on the market there is a large amount of weight from 120 to 650 gsm. I'd like a little tougher, but not to overdo it with that weight.
Well built. Don't use it to catch fish as they will be too small.

Not a medieval quiver. Arrows had arrowheads, and clearly this quiver cannot be used with arrowheads.
I see.
I suppose that, on that basis, all of the knife sheaths I’ve made weren’t sheaths…
I like it! And it's 2024 not 1424 ✌️
