We follow the tactics of blue army cavalry as they prepare for an encounter with red army.
Some in between parts have been omitted (otherwise the video would be over an hour long), but all the tactics chatter is included. No music, just armour clanks, some shouting, and horse noises. Cavalry ASMR if you will.

My eternal gratitude to the rider and horse who carried my GoPro into battle. I'm very sorry to report the magnificent warhorse Belot, who's ears we've gotten to know very well throughout this video, has passed on to the next world. Just to address any concerns about the timing of his passing, this was completely unrelated to the feldlager or activities similar as those seen in this video. Sometimes, life presents us with unfortunate events, and losing such a cherished friend is heartbreaking. Please be kind. I'm super grateful that we have gotten to experience the battlefield through his ears.

Man this is some crisp footage from the 15th century. Only ogs will remember the holy hand grenade.

@damsen978 2 месяца назад

Ah yes, when they made wars without killing anyone at all, i read about that.

@panfarmld9664 2 месяца назад

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O LORD, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the LORD did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... Friar: "skip a bit, brother"... And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."

I'm sorry to hear about the horse :(. The footage is incredible. Both the pov and the drone views were super interesting to watch

Imagine going on a nice summer hike just to encounter a 15th century cavalry coming your way.

@r.h5550 3 месяца назад

Awesome! I can totally imagine that this was the scale of combat for some feuds between members of the lower nobility.

@arnekoets3085 3 месяца назад

That was exactly the goal, we had about 230 participants, so that is still quite small even for feuds, it is within the bracket of historical examples. We had a 3,5 : 1 infantry vs cavalry ratio, so that is really rather cool, as that is very much akin to historical ratios. Those ratios vary a lot, but it is really in there.

@Alex.Ost.2001 2 месяца назад

This is beautiful to watch. My kind of ASMR for real The rider with the GoPro we are following should think about doing voice acting. Him shouting "Cavalry approaching!" at 14:29 could be straight from a movie or video game

Could you do a not fast forward version it would be nice to see it in its original speed throughly x)

@estherkok 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for your interest. I'll see what I can do. Part of reason for the fast forward was because people are chatting while riding and I want to protect their privacy for obvious reasons. The other part was because it was just people moving from A to B. Any particular part you are interested in?

Hey! Im kinda confused what the rules for the reanactment are. I know normally people take a hit and when play dead, but you can really hit someone from a horse without huge risk. Any input is apreciated.

In the blue team unit that split off Who was the guy in the black sallet and blue cloth collar It's really cool to see people using the black sallet as opposed to the more iconic ' gothic sallet'

I don't know all the riders by name by heart, but I recommend you check out the facebook group (link can be found at feldlager.eu/) to get in touch if you want. I'm sure they appreciate the compliment!

@arnekoets3085 3 месяца назад

The rider with the blue collar is Bart Hartogsveld, he wore armour i lent him for the occasion, the first day he wore the black sallet i bought off Toby Capwell made by Roman Tereschenko, the second day he wore my close sallet, coincidentally also made by roman tereschenko! The black sallets are a typologically rather late development compared to how the event was situated in the period. By 1475 they are still extremely rare, being more common from 1480s onward. The black sallet is an interesting thing... looking, in a way, unfinished. Vision can be limited from them,but perhaps a goid glancibg surface from the front But they are iconic, for sure

@williampanagopoulos656 3 месяца назад

@@arnekoets3085 I saw Ian laspinas video talking about historical build quality And he mentioned the black sallet as almost looking like a transitional phase in the construction of more refined sallets ( whether they actually ARE, who knows, but I can see the logic given how helmets get made)

@@williampanagopoulos656 yeah, i have seen a bunch of sallets being made in the armoury in my garden, and they all go through a phase of looking like a black sallet

epic, you have instagram with this content?

No, not at the moment. Depending on interest I might consider social media platforms, but editing video's is already a pretty large free time consumer haha.

@alexandrebaillargeon9332 3 месяца назад

I was wondering what are the bells we hear for. Is this something that was done regularly at that time to have bells on cavalry or does it has contemporary reasons for it?

@eganburg 3 месяца назад

To warn friendlies infantry (and common people too) to gtf away since you can't exactly hear horses approaching. Sometimes, they also use it as a sign of wealth since you can buy some more fancy ones.

@acaristic93 7 месяцев назад

At 17:36 the rider to your left(is it Jeff?) has an odd looking helmet with bits portruding in the back,is that a modern thing or a historical invention and in either case is it to keep the head more stable and safe or just for show?

@acaristic93 7 месяцев назад

or is it just like a visor turned over to the back so it doesnt restrict vision in the front?

@estherkok 7 месяцев назад

Correct! It's a visor turned over. Possibly a choice made for safety reasons, because the visor impaired the view too much, but I can't be sure. Well spotted in any case!

Is a cavalry charge really that slow? I could probably got away from that running on foot.

@estherkok 8 месяцев назад

While it might look slow on camera, I hope you take my word for it being fast, both for the viewers and for the riders. The charge is also going uphill. There is a quad visible in the last bit of the charge that has to drive quite fast to keep up. But you might be a well trained runner with good stamina who is able to keep up regardless, who knows!

@relpmat 8 месяцев назад

@@estherkok Its certainly slower comparing to a movie cavalry charge where horses are often depicted sprinting like a race horse in the final stretch right?

@estherkok 7 месяцев назад

Yes, absolutely. As I see it, a movie director often likes to shoot these things exaggerated, because we as an audience like that of course and we go buy a ticket to the movie. So the difference might not only lie in the exact speed of the horses, but also in the way it is filmed. The contrast with charges in movies is that the horses here are running uphill with their riders in full plate armour, where a movie horse may be going flat out on straight terrain, and their riders are dressed very light. Even if that may not seem like it in the movie, movie armour is a totally different weight class than historic reproduction. Aside from that, depending on what a director wants for their movie, they may choose a horse that is trained for speed. The horses in this event are mostly trained for strength and endurance. Think human sprinter versus human gymnast. Just as a side note in case you are interested in this, go check out the horses in "Zorro" with Antonio Banderas. Even though they pretend the black horse is the same, it is in fact acted out by many different black horses. Here the director clearly had different horses with each their special trick or skill for each scene.

@marktinsley7845 6 месяцев назад

A charge would often begin at walk, trot, canter gallop as you would close with the enemy. This would maintain unit cohesion and be more impactive in punching through the enemy line. Thus creating a breach in the enemy line. Which could be followed up with infantry support. Put simply, crowd dynamics effective en-masse to disorganise and hopefully rout enemy foot.

@arnekoets3085 3 месяца назад

I measured from the drone footage, our charges were 20-37 km /hour at this event. The main one averages about 34 km/h over a stretch of 231 meters Most of the other charges were over 30 km/h for most of the way, including all the uphill charges, as this terrain is really hilly, most of it is up slopes more than 15%. Downhill charges are actually the slower ones in this case due to the slopes being so steep. So running up such a slope for 200+ meters does sound quite hard at those speeds as that (37 km/h) is literally the top speed of Usaine Bolt on a flat, ideal course without any armour and stuff 😂 For comparison, a racehorse can reach 88km/h for a brief moment, but the world record over two furlongs is just over 70 km/h Of course the armour, terrain and keeping the formation slows us down. Fastest i have been clocked on an ideal surface in armour was 53 km/h, at a joust.
