Medieval bushcraft camping! Solo camp, flint & steel, bedroll camping

So here is something a bit different. Bit of an anachronism: camping is not an actual thing that medieval people did for fun. I am doing it for fun, though.
Here I go into the woods with my medieval gear for an overnight camp.
I hike through the forest, carry a basket pack, start a fire with a traditional flint & steel, sleep out under the stars on sheepskins and a wool blanket, and eat medieval "travel foods". It was a very good time, I learned a lot, and it will be even easier and more comfortable the next time.

Great video. Puts other bushcrafters to shame. Love how little you had and still made it work.

I'm fixing to learn a lot now. It amazes me just how much talent has passed me by. There is so much of that talent here in this channel, it's amazing.

Might I suggest a oil cloth tarp, 10x10 or 12x12, light weight and water proof. At the least it will separate you and your gear from the ground, damp or dry. It will also make a very adequate shelter. I like your fire starting kit, it's well thought out. I always take a small tin candle lantern with a glass pane on trips into the woods, it won't be blown out by the wind, pervides light at night and stores fire for the morning.

Fantastic job! Yes I highly recommend beeswax wraps for sausage/cheese and any other large and hard foodstuffs. For small/fine foodstuff like flour, rice, lentils I would recommend you sew some simple linen bags.

Good Job young man. Learn as you go. Adapt, upgrade, enjoy. Just spent 3 days in the bush myself.

Awesome. :) I haven't yet tried camping medievalish, but I do use a sheep fur instead of a modern camping mat and I'm loving it. Also when it's dry my woolen cape makes a nice ground sheet, but it certainly is quite heavy. I don't wanna miss my sleeping bag though.

This is an excellent experiment, contrary to popular opinion medieval people were frequent travellers, there were often not wayside Inns or hospitals available to stop at so camping overnight would be the option. We also need to consider, aristocratic and patrician elite hunting parties, as although they would not be camping as rough.

@PopulaUrbanum 2 года назад

I would suggest a cotton sheet which is accurate, and depending on when and where you are depicting, cotton is an acceptable textile to use for many garments.

@Ralchire 2 года назад

@@PopulaUrbanum Thanks! I will definitely be adding a cotton sheet to the bedroll, but still gonna replace the cotton undershirt with linen. Linen breathes a bit better and dries out more quickly, I find.

this looks like a lot of fun, i think i’ll try it

@Ralchire 2 года назад

Thanks! You should definitely try it!

@wesleyt.4581 2 года назад

@@Ralchire do you think i would be able to bring a small pet along with me? also, a video on medieval pets could be very interesting!

@Ralchire 2 года назад

@@wesleyt.4581 that depends on the pet. I’m sure most dogs could handle it. That’s up to you as the pet owner

@wesleyt.4581 2 года назад

@@Ralchire thanks, thinking on it, my hedgehog wouldn’t be a good pick, i’d need for her to be caged and heated, which would ruin the atmosphere entirely lol. good vid!

Just found your channel and I'm really loving your videos but I'd really appreciate if your voice audio was much louder.

@paulkline1574 2 года назад

Is there somewhere that you have a pack list, like a google page? Also, do you have a list of your research documents?

@comradesoupbeans4437 2 года назад

i enjoyed the video though there seem to be some audio sync and mixing issues, it's worth looking into the causes of those for next time

@Ralchire 2 года назад

Thanks! I will try to get that sorted!

Question, how did medieval people keep warm during harsh winter seasons when camping?

@Ralchire 2 года назад

Well they spent the entire year preparing for winter. Lots of firewood would have to have been laid in store, and enough food preserves to last through winter. Their winter clothing was generally thick wool and quite warm compared to modern clothing. But they probably stayed home all winter if they possibly could. No reason to travel unnecessarily if it means sub-freezing temps and exposure to the elements.

@MrCakedo 2 года назад

@@Ralchire Ah i see, smart, unlike pioneers.

@misterwolfe1699 Год назад

Well medieval folk didn't really camp they typically stayed within sight of their home. There really was no point in "camping". But yeah they'd prepare during the warmer seasons by gathering enough material and food so that they wouldn't have to leave their homes all winter.
