วีดีโอ

the cuirass is about 12 kg, the gorget/spaulders 6 and the helmet 1.8kg

personally i have never had that issue since just tightening a sword belt has worked for me in the past

@@AllemansendRe-enactment True, but at least for me that would cause wrinkles, again something we dont see in the doublets here. However i did not add that many supporting layers or hard layers like cork or stiffened linen or whatever was used, so that could indicate that those depicted did have these kind of doublets.

Some could have a meaning but most seem to be justvdecorative since they can varry between different boards

Yes we have a video about that game on the channel aswel

The reason that is sometimes given is that if there are glowing embers only the pan will ignite, instead of the main charge. Matchlocks also have a smaller chance of misfires due to the lock failing compared to flintlock, aslong as the match cord is held properly.

@@AllemansendRe-enactment I'm still not going to do that myself, but it kinda makes sense

I agree that they would be classified as a cabbaset, though within re-enactment if someone wants to portray a common soldier i would not recommend such a helmet. Since the proof for this specific style is scarce. In my research i have only found one helmet that comes close but im my eyes not close enough. If you know of any surviving helmets in this specifik stile i would love to know where to find them.

To hold you over, the channel gold and gunpowder has made a great video about the history of fire arms

@@AllemansendRe-enactment I know, I've watched it already, it's a good one; but, like the sword one, your will be more focused, more unique.

You could probebly make it work

Thank you :D

Thank you :D

@@AllemansendRe-enactment I keep wanting one of the helmets and then my son will want one because he wants to do a pike impression....

@thecreweofthefancy The helmets are slightly controversial since there are no survining ones and depictions are scarce. I do know some people that have one and have seen multiple smiths produce them

@@AllemansendRe-enactment *stares on the English side of things* What are surviving artifacts? Haha.

The helmet youl see me wear in some videos was common troughout the 17th century in most of europe. They go by alot of names like pikemans pot/moreon, stormhoed, swedish pot, They were also the most comon helmet used by pikemen in the English cival wars. The english favored a wider brim but helmets were also imported from the mainland.

Thank you, i dont have the budget to make thing until they work and with these recepes there is alot of gues work since the writers of the time expect you to know how to cook.

Sadly their weight is often not listed in museum collections. I really hope more in depth research will be done on the future.

The exercises of arms does mention carrying musket balls in the mouth, but does not mention spitloading. There has been some discours about spitloading a few years ago. The general consensus being, that there is not enough proof that it was done historicly. And was mostly popularized by the tv series 'sharp' If you have any sources that would awesome.

Oh wauw ook die afbeelding van dat kamp, gaaf!

Enig benul waarvan de zijlen gemaakt zijn van die tenten?

Linnen canvas of vlasdoek was in de periode gebruikelijk. Re-enacters gebruiken vaak katoen, omdat dit minder gaat werken minder zwaar is, en beter bestendig is tegen rot. Het was eerst ook moeilijk te krijgen, maar er zijn langzaam meer verkopers doe de stof en tenten aanbieden van linnen canvas. Zoals Matuls in polen en Sewmill in Duitsland.

Op de website van het rijksmuseum is heel veel te vinden. Ik heb zelf een database opgebouwd over de afgelopen paar jaar van een paar 1000 afbeeldingen met datum, maker en naam maar niet precies in welk museum of prive collectie ze zijn te vinden.

@@AllemansendRe-enactment Bedankt!

Wij zijn meestal tijdens het paasweekend aanwezig bij het Archeon, ik heb inderdaat gehoord dat er later dit jaar nog een 17e eeuws evenement is geweest met onder aderen compagnie Grolle.

Helaas heb ik daar op dit moment geen goed antwoord op. Na het maken van de video kwam ik er ook achter dat de korte stok voor nog hogere officieren was. Koning Gustavus Adolphus van Zweden had er bijvoorbeeld een met een verrekijker er in. De stok gedragen door de kapitein komt meer overeen met een wandelstok en word soms word deze rotan of ratan genoemd maar dit lijkt meer te verwijzen op het materiaal waar sommigen van werden gemaakt. Ze konden zelfs bij zeer zeldzame gevallen van narwal ivoor gemaakt zijn.

Posible but without more evidence not anything that can be confermed

Thank you, i should have known and mentioned that.

Calf-skin also works perfectly. coincidentally but probably unsurprisingly me and my group will be in Groenlo in october for the battle of Groll re-enactment

@@AllemansendRe-enactment I will see you there. I will be fielding with the Sappeurs again. (my 3rd trip)

Thank you john

Here's the 16th century Spanish musket drill we recorded - th-cam.com/video/PGPS5tCN3Rk/w-d-xo.html The drill commands are in Spanish with English subtitles followed by a demonstration narrated in English.

@DonAndreMarek1578 i have seen it, you might be interested to know i have also read your book, and i realy enjoyed, great work.

Thank you, its verry much apreciated. Its always a verry big compliment when someone has actual use for the niche subject i tend to research. :D

Contacts, i have acromatopsia and dayblindnes the tinted contact lenzes help a little. My actual eyes are lighter

Noted, cant make any real promises but i have since updated my audio setup so that might help.

@@AllemansendRe-enactment Can't hate on a guy trying to improve. The effort and the information are all appreciated.

Bedankt, word erg geïnteresseerd
