Using Heater Shield in War time with Spear 

There is so little content about heather shield use, and even less about heather shield and spear. Thank you!

Love the spear grip with the shield. Is it just a speculation from your experience or you also have some source you got inspired by? :D

reenactors have been using the spear/shield combination for a long time as depicted here. But this is a good study nonetheless.

This was very good - well presented. Plus timely. I am in the process of assembling a short spear (6 feet; 2 meters) for hallway defence in a non gun area. I was wondering how to go about incorporating a shield and this is so helpful. Now all I have to do is make it bulletproof and light weight. Oh, yes ... they get to have guns ...

At first glance I thought you had rollerblades on.. haha ! Good video. I plan to try this 😁

Using a spear in 2 hands with a strapped shield was done by the Macedonian empire for a while

I've seen some theories about a guige strap making that holding out less fatiguing on the shoulder and arm, maybe because the back is taking some of the weight because the strap braces it. And a cool thing I saw where the shield could be quickly thrown onto the back to hold a sword with two hands. Lemme see if I can find those...

Great video. You've got me very interested in the heater shield. I practice a lot of sword and buckler, mostly Liegniczer and bolognese concepts. Would you be willing to sell a heater with that configuration? How much would that cost and how would I go about ordering one from you?

Hi, thanx for your thoughts. I copied the same shields straps and would like to add one thing I found on mine. When you hold the forward strap I can grab one of the main straps with your thumb. This give me the same control as if I were to hold the two main straps. If in clear I can link a short clip.

Great vid man! How did you make your shield? Is made from wood?

the spear shield and sword combo was used by various cultures all around the world 4 thousands of years.

Did you have to do your own straps or can you find sheilds pre-made with that configuration.

i'd love to see the image of the 1350 shield you used.

Very nice!

were cutting pole arms also used with heater shields?

you could also use a shortspear (1.20 to 1.50 meters) with a thiner shaft (lighter and doesn't need to be that resilient because you would be using your shield to block, not your spear)... why don't I see that in the videos?

Does this shield hand-strapping work with a guige?

well i gotta change my straps on shield.. :D those looks very useful.

Nice

Do you have a template or something for the shild

Hey man, what's the name of the sport you practise?

I eeally like your intro

Could this be done with a kite shield?

The romans carried those big heavy scutum shields on their left hands without arm straps.

Pell: how make?
