Haha that would be amazing. It’s not all top notch quality like yours but I would love to see you sprinting, jumping and even maybe one day shooting a bow
I love it when a RU-vidr sticks to what he enjoys rather than what gets views.. At least when it works it in my favor 😝 (which it very much is in this case)
Fun video. Thanks for sharing. Have you considered however, that adventuring is more than running around with just armor? The adventures will have to march with their weapon as well as food, water, camping supplies and gear(rope etc). The terrain will not be as friendly either; dense forest, steep rocky hills with sharp rocks or swamps with mud and bugs. That and the prospect of immediate danger or potential ambush meant that fantasy adventuring in a very tiring and dangerous profession. In short: Dash in light armor, a 10-20kg pack on his back, weapons and water on his belt, arrows on his quivers, helmet strap on his side, doing an obstacle course while being wary of potential orc/goblin ambushes. And cloak,s, must not forget the cloaks too. Dash might not like the idea, especially in the summer heat but it does sound fun to try out.
I would be 100% on board with that. I would try to figure out how to make it fun and dynamic for sure but I have friends with lots of property and I could kind of set up points as far as Miles traveled, etc. etc. and see how that goes, get some serious lord of the rings distance
Traveling long distances on foot in armor with a heavy pack would be impractical for most anyone, especially in rough terrain. It might be possible, as current soldiers bear absurd burdens (loads of over a 100lbs), but they often have access to vehicles & get exhausted if they have to trek for miles & miles on foot. Of course, an adventurer might opt to have a pack animal. Or of course they could have superhuman strength & stamina. But for an adventurer to with human-level stats, wearing little or no armor would make a lot of sense if traveling on foot without pack animals or vehicles.
@@dashrendar5320 From Hobbiton to mount doom, Frodo and Sam covered 1,800 miles(2,897 km) . I am surprised that there are people online who had worked all this and made a webpage on it. If you do attempt this, I look forward to see you do a lot of walking while singing the "The road goes ever on"
Turned into a workout video afterall. Best salesman voice: 'Introducing the new full iron body P-790AD-X extreme home fitness workout! Get ready to take your workout to the next level! Now you too can see why all the celebrities are doing P-790AD-X, because we paid them! (Tree and rope sold separately.)' Loved the intro, but then again I am Nerd Tarnished. 🤓
Him saying, "Who would actually watch this video?" My response, "Who wouldn't watch this video?!?" This guy is awesome! You definitely got a thumbs up from me.
There's a reason mounted archers across Eurasia wore considerable armor. If properly designed & fitted, armor need not hinder archery. Some historical archers wore extensive arm defenses, as seen in period art from the Middle East to China & Japan. It's even possible some European head-to-toe plate armor allowed archery, as we do see this in illustrations & some heavily armored cavalry used bows (such as in France into the early 16th century). It's also worth noting that infantry who had to march on foot frequently eschewed armor on the legs or at least on the lower legs.
@ashrendar5320 more or less. How to choose a bow, types of bow(if you have that knowledge) measure draw length, tune the bow, bow care and maintenance, etc. I'm sure there's tons of ways you could nerd these up and do what you enjoy.
I absolutely loved the video Dash. Watching you have fun is always a good time for all 😁 I feel like alot like with the longbow, you would need to train with armour in order to get your endurance up in the specific muscles required to wear it for long periods of time. Makes you think how strong you would have to be to not only wear and move in the armour, but to use it in prolonged combat 🤯💪
So glad you enjoyed it, and yes, I really believe it’s just a matter of adapting overtime. People get used to things if they train them so the more you train the easier it gets.
That rope climb in armor looked really hard. It made me think that doing metcon style training in armor would be an excellent workout. I know knights used to train jumps, lifting stones, climbing in armor, etc, so this wouldn’t be that far removed. Burpees, pull-ups, dips, etc would all be way harder, sort of like when calisthenics athletes or cross fitters wear a weighted vest.
Yes!!! More of this! I'm a total viking age and medieval history and combat pedant, but this is so refreshing!! I love comparisons of medieval history to RPG games, and I'm 💯 sure many more viewers will join our loyal ranks (but like you said, it is much more valuable to have a genuinely positive and funny crew of nerds who enjoy the same things than to have higher numbers for the sake of it 💪 P.S. I'm still smiling from laughing so hard at the video. You do the public a service!!can't wait for the next one. Much love from Portugal 🇵🇹
I am so happy I was able to help in any way as you recovered. Glad you are much better now. And yes, nerdy is the way to go, more fun, more passion for me. Less views but I don’t care too much about that at all 😁
Great video! You should read about a french knight named Boucicaut, he did all kinds of exercises in full armour including climbing the inside of a ladder with hands only mighty impressive!
It's worth noting that grieves and sabatons were by in large some of the thinnest parts of a suit of armour, minimizing the weight on your lower leg make a massive difference in your ability to move.
I think you just personally showed why people whose on a battlefield wasn't just ramming people on a horse on bonking them with a polaxe often ditched gaunlets and lower legs protection. Every one pound on the chest and head is like five on the limbs cus you essentially propelling when you move. And if you rich enough to have a horse and attendants, you have to put your armor yourself or wear all the walk the entire way while wearing your kit.
Another great video. So I guess the next logical step is to do an exercise video whilst wearing full armour. You know, really get that algorithm messed up on who it should be suggesting to!
Do you watch M1 medieval? Or go to medieval "cosplay" events/reenactment? Could be fun way to spend with family and you fit there like a glove. P.s incase you go to such event and decide to take a part in a fight of knights don't use cheat codes and pop up a 165lbs bow in middle of a battle between melee weapos😂 Love your videos and enthusiasm someone who genuinely enjoy what he does.Thank you for content.
Rucking with not only your combat loadout, but with 3 days worth of supplies always sucks, whether its the medieval ages or the modern era. Can't imagine doing anything of these exercises while carrying all of that; my knees ache just thinking of it.
everybody likes a good self improvement gym rat video (I guess?). I have fun watching these and learned how to handle some ancient weapons on here soooo, you do you Dash just have some fun man; *edit: ok the boss run got me, that was hilarious
When you tried to jump on the hay bale and it lunged forward causing you to fall, you’re supposed to yell out, “I meant to do that!” Just in case anyone saw you. 😅
@@dashrendar5320 When I started out I was 19. I was 5'10. I weighed 150 lb. Putting on approximately 50 lb of armor and swinging wooden practice swords versus opponents in a competitive manner with calibration. I went up to 210 lb within like a year of doing it. I'm I'm currently 51 years old. I'm 220 something pounds and the last time I was in armor kicking the crap out of people for hours was a few months ago but you just get used to it. It becomes second nature. I've even been able to do a kip up. I've seen people in armor doing spinning heel kicks and spinning thrust kicks...
I think a ranger advenurer would want an open face helmet with good vision and hearing, valuing situational awareness, but with some level of protection
Ha no I am not good at kicks, I have done grappling and wrestling for many years so I could do some stuff like that but probably not roundhouse kicks haha
Awesome I’am on the right track being farmer Chad. Still like my tomahawks and knife close. Crappy neighborhood and I only have one thing to complete. That’s my MoM’s garden paradise. Out of the kids I’ll be her Knight in gray armor. The one that sees it through no matter what. Keep inspiring people you helped me.
If you spent quite a bit of time doing things while wearing armor I'd think you would become considerably more nimble in it. Not as nimble as you would be without armor, to be sure, but definitely more than if you only wore armor on occaision.
Hey brother hows it going? Quick question for ya, what kind of cycling bike do you have? Me and my wife want one and your the man that popped up in my mind. Which kind of home cycling bike do you have?
I have a wahoo kickr full bike. Those ones are pretty pricy but if you have a decent bike you can buy a “smart trainer” and hook your bike up to and still use the software
I have heard that in history man at arms and knights would ditch leg armor if they needed more mobility. Also a near 40 year old gamer nerd. Sadly no where near as in shape as you are.
He retired and do accounting 🤣😂 apparently best armor build would be a cauldron as helmet and just a underwear to protect your junk and u can solo any boss easily lol
