Those linen shirts need to make a comeback. I’d wear those all the time.

@ragnkja 2 года назад

Not only is linen a lot better for the environment than cotton is, it's also more comfortable in both hot and cold weather (cotton is, as you probably know already, quite dangerous if you get it damp (for example with sweat) and then cold) and less prone to getting stinky.

@splintmeow4723 2 года назад

@@ragnkja right! always made them such nice summer shirts 😎 but I also like the cut/design of that period. Oooo so nice.

@ragnkja 2 года назад

@@splintmeow4723 One advantage of shirts from time periods when shirts and other undergarments were generally made at home is that they're simple enough to make yourself. Morgan Donner has a video on making a Tudor era shirt (so previous century) and Bernadette Banner has one on making an 18th century one. They're pretty similar in constructions, so following their methods should work for the century in-between as well. Just make the neckline, collar, cuffs and length to suit your goals.

@splintmeow4723 2 года назад

@@ragnkja that’s the thing, I know if I bought a length of linen, I’d absolutely ruin it. I have made custom before and it always turns out a mess. ☹️

@ragnkja 2 года назад

@@splintmeow4723 A shirt is more forgiving in terms of fit than most garments, since it doesn’t have to fit precisely in any way. Tip if you don’t know how deep you prefer the split at the top of the chest to be: make it fairly shallow at first, and then deepen it until it fits your head size and preferences, before you fell those edges.

@AwesomeFish12 2 года назад

It's awesome to learn these details and see how these things are used. I'm Australian but most of my ancestors are Scottish. I love learning how my ancestors lived and the details of their daily life. Thanks for making these videos, they are appreciated.

@dingusdan 2 года назад

inspired me to do a similar trip in Norfolk last October, no Scottish ancestry but I just love how practical the kilt is, I traded up for a few modern comforts like fluffy wellies and a proper hiking backpack but did my first 20 mile hike on the peddars way, then to finish it off I spent I night under the stars in just my sleeping bag albeit a chilly one as it rained a few minutes before sunset, that part of the north norfolk coast has really low light pollution however so was extremely worth it, thanks for the inspiration

@grandplans 2 года назад

I can only imagine what the night sky would look like with little light pollution. I did experience that once when in the mountains in Arizona. I walked into a clearing and looked up..... I couldn't look away. It was so beautiful. I'm not trying to be religious, but thinking back to when reading about the people in old testimate bible days, the celestial bodies they described seeing that we today need a telescope to see.... wow........ Almost no light pollution then. I want to experience that.

@emanracing95 2 года назад

Heyo, previously professional explorer here, worked with the US government to do some ecological surveys in the deserts of New Mexico. I just wanna say I was trained along the way by some very excellent wilderness experts, but I do wish I had done a lot more previous research like you have to determine what would be best to survive out there. I really like a lot of the kit you use like the cloth (which I can compare to my shemagh) and the staff (which I gifted several to my supervisors as it had many uses in the field) and will have to do a lot more previous research to ensure life out on the hitch is as practical and comfortable as possible next time I get out there. However, I'm glad we agree that knives are a must out there, you never know what you'll need and I keep my Bowie by my bedside all the time. Thank you for the inspiration and good luck on your future endeavors. Have a good yin!

@porygon110 2 года назад

I'm not usually one to leave comments, but you have inspired me in so many ways. Lately though I've been inspired to start forging traditional Scottish fire steels for flint and steel kits. Its a long way but if you would ever like one shipped out to you from the USA let me know, I'd be happy too!

@journeyman7189 2 года назад

Awesome breakdown Tom. Keeping your feet in good repair was probably the most important part. The thicker leather of the cow hide would be worth it. And the warmer plaid as well. I'd keep the pemmican and drop some of the bannock. Both are great "survival" food but you get more bang for your buck with the pemmican. Nate

@LonersGuide 2 года назад

Beautiful green country, even denuded of trees as it is these...centuries. Got a good dose of Scottish, Irish and supposedly Pictish, among other things in my lineage. Have always wanted to visit Scotland. Even dreamed of living a quiet life in the Highlands or something. The way things are going with the world now, I seriously doubt that will ever happen. I have more freedom in the USA, and there's a lot more land here. It does my heart good to see you roaming and enjoying it in a way that pays homage to and honors our ancestors.

@steveblack6910 2 года назад

Fascinating mate! So much thought gone into this! One thing that struck me is that you've got the weight right down. Much less than my modern gear - all in that wee bag and carried about you! I carry miles more weight for an over-nighter! Cheers!

@Marcus-ki1en 2 года назад

Wonderful video, great resource. Sorry for going there, but how did you handle potty breaks? Good form is to bury, well away from water sources. Didn't see any larger leaves to wipe with. Curious how you handled this necessary, inevitable task and if it was addressed historically.

@timgarec6240 2 года назад

@turtlewolfpack6061 2 года назад

I didn't actually expect the sword to be listed or brought along but it does make sense. Threats were very real during this time frame. Neat kit!

@catholicaromana 2 года назад

I especially liked how much thought you put into the weight. The first time I went camping with my basket-hilt sword I thought it would be too heavy on the day hikes, but I ended up using it to balance weight like you did. This video inspired me use more historical food!

An excellent presentation Sir, I do this at least twice a year (30+years), although not with gear of old, my kids choose where, & throw darts in a board for when they also choose 5 of the ten bits of kit I take with me, not including the clothes I'm stood in & those depend on the season, I do this in all seasons & for 5 to 12 days at a time, with 2 days food in case of emergencies, It's not like I'm under fire but it does still keep me grounded & hopefully will give me an edge should I ever need it, my Princess(granddaughter 10) has taken an interest & is a very quick learner regardless of her autism, it doesn't hold her back building motorcycles so why should this be different, on our last trip together she taught a guy that had everything the world would possibly need to go camping with, how to start a fire in a drizzle, she used the "Bowdrill" she made from scraps in the forest, where as he couldn't do it with the shop bought one he paid over£40 for, I think they believe you only have to have them to know how they work, where as we know that practice makes capable, perfect is not a word I use very much as it never seems to turn out that way.

12:30 I was fascinated to see your use of dried meat as a protein source. Now, I'm a Saffer (from South Africa). My ancestors were called Voortrekkers, and they banded together in groups and travelled from the then Cape Colony (around Cape Town) into the hinterland. Clearly they also needed ways to make food last. Their solution was something called Biltong. This is salt-dried venison (or beef) sometimes seasoned with ground coriander and cloves. Many of us still make this today and is now available in the UK. If you want to chat about details, that would be my pleasure!

Awesome vid, thank you. Can't help but wonder about weather protection, surely the plaid will wet out leading to hypothermia in mild weather even. Campsite selection must have been incredibly important, and Scotland was far more forested then.

@ragnkja 2 года назад

Wool retains about 80% of its insulation when wet, and because the wind doesn’t blow through wet wool as easily as dry wool it’s still about as warm. Norwegian fishers traditionally wore tightly felted knit mittens and deliberately wetted them to make them windproof.

I'm up in the California Sierras. The terrain here is a tad dryer and warmer than the Highlands of Scotland, but many of the items he recommends still apply. However cotton and denim are much more appropriate during the dry months(the best ten and a half months of the year). Wool definitely makes sense in the true Winter up here, dress accordingly.
