Hey man, just a tip for using a bow, never let go of that string without an arrow in it. (Known as 'dry firing') It can break the bow up pretty bad, if you do draw it back, gradually ease the string back in place if you don't have an intention to fire it. Just.. Archery things that some people don't understand that everyone really should.
Okay lol! XD You are so adorable! When you're squealing "Conner!" You're kinda hiding behind the shield and it reminded me of how Captain America often jumps and curls up so that he's almost completely hidden by his shield.
"MY IQ IS SHOVEL!" I'm sorry but can we take a moment to appreciate that - it just sounds so awesome - Mo Im guessing you must be an amazing person to hang around with - Keep up the awesome vids ('specially the larp ones :) )
I was so touched by your reaction while unboxing the shield!! Like ''Omg I want one too to feel the same!!!'' .. Btw I'm the drunk fangirl from Saturday night at Bicolline and I'm so happy to see you back :D
every time you make me soooooooo exited. but i'm to young to go to any larp's here in the Netherland and that makes me kinda sad. i'm dealing with depression and selfharm right now and larp and geeky stuff help me so much with that. your videos make me want to do something with my life and i really cannot thank you enough for that. keep up the good work Momo
Michael Kemper You are not who I messaged? What business do you have here? Well, Look up foot fetish. It's the most common fetish under breasts. Most people have heard of it.
I saw you had some new episodes up and I started geeking out! I don't even know how I found your channel a couple of months ago, but now you're my favorite youtuber :D !!! Make sure to post all of your adventures at Bicolline!!!
You probably are the cutest being on the face of the planet, ahead of pandas and kittens :3 this video made me happy. and that helmet looks adoooooorable on you xD
The helmet was actually a wise choice for using a bow with. "Kettle hats", as they're called, were very popular with crossbowmen and archers in the middle ages.
Yeah, modern replica armor tends to be heavier than the historical ones. Modern makers have access to industrial sheet metal and don't have time to give the pieces a distal taper (it's extremely time-consuming), so the thickness ends up being the same all-around. The distal taper on historical plate removes a lot of mass while keeping pretty much all the protection. Centergrip shields also had a distal taper, which is why our modern cheap "plywood shields" are ridiculously heavy in comparison, and cannot be properly used for historical norse martial arts.
Oh my gosh yesssss. All of that is just.... amazing. And you look so pretty with the dresses (I mean you're already pretty but whatever) And I was watching this with headphones and my sister could still hear the screaming when you unboxed the shield. She was like "What." And I was just sitting here laughing. You are so great! LOL
Hi! I saw you at Bicolline at a concert, I was watching the show with my boyfriend when i saw your beauuuutifuuulll dress or skirt.. The color are, in the bootom part of the dress (or the color of the skirt are) kinda pink, purple, blue. The dress was looking like it was moving like wind, it followed every move you make and it seems like it was super light! If you know which dress i'm talking about, i wonder if you made it or buy it? If you buy it, where? If you made it, can you do a video on how to do it please :)Have a nice day :)!
Soooooo you should make more videos because they bring my day happiness and obviously many other people too! But really, you are awesome! I would love to know how you made your wonder woman dress too cause it is adorable!
Oh god watching you string the bow I was just thinking over and over "your doing it wrong you might fuck up and break something" Btw I want that shield D:
Aw I love that you're so happy about your shield :3 You treat it like a new puppy XD (Also, I'm not sure, but I think chemise is pronounced like shem-eese. Just going off the small amount of french that I know :) )
The bosse on centergrip shields serves many purposes, but punching ain't one. You're supposed to punch with the edge of a centergrip shield, it's much more effective. Roland Warzecha has a bunch of amazing videos on how viking-era shields are supposed to be used; he's the go-to martial expert on viking-era combat.
I wish I has seen you with all that gear at Bicolline, but I was only there for the open friday, with not much battles going. I didn't talk to you but did see you walk around (and order a poutine lol). Anyway, here's an article from a french newspaper about bicolline, you are on one of the pictures they took. www.journaldemontreal.com/2015/08/20/deux-jours-a-bicolline-recit-dune-aventure-au-pays-de-limaginaire
Mo Mo O'Brien Are you by any chance happy you got all that, especially the shield? Google sucks, i can't post unless i reply and i don't get notifications unless i'm on Google+
Hey! I'm brand new to larping. I just finished having my first LARP Mission with my friends who have a LARP group in town. Unfortunately. I didn't have a actual weapon for my character so I had to use some swords off hand for it. I would like to know what kind of materials are good / legal to use for the weapon. For example I am trying to make a staff for my Arcane Acolyte. I was wondering what kind of materials you used for your Hammer. Like the foam and the core. As well as the idea of stores that sell it as well as possible estimated price ranges?
+TomtomPersonal I don't LARP (yet) but I am a cosplayer, so I suspect there is a lot of overlap between the two when it comes to weapons/props. First, you want to check all the legal stuff regarding fake weapons. Do this for the LARP, and the place you live. Generally-- realistic guns, and metal swords are a big no. One's sharp and the other's dangerous, and illegal pretty much everywhere but America. Next, figure out what you are realistically able to carry. You might need to measure yourself for this. I'll use myself as an example for this. I wanted to make a large hammer for a costume, and I wanted it to be a little taller than myself. As I'm 5'6" on a good day, I wasn't gonna make it 2m tall or anything. Weight also needs to be considered, cause if you're 50kg soaking wet with all the arm strength of a paper towel, you wouldn't make a 10kg prop. So, after both of these, figure out a budget. Generally how much stuff costs depends on a few things: where you buy, what you buy, where you live, and your ability to use things you have to your advantage. If you live somewhere where coupons are a thing (they aren't where I live), use them. Save your money. This is probably where you want to figure out the design of the thing. Get reference photos, or draw up a plan. In this plan, have materials, measurements, ect. Then, buy materials. Foam is a very safe place to start with swords, and re-painted waterguns (keep the tip orange) are the easiest way to go with guns. This is where cosplay and LARPing diverge, I'd probably use either piping, or a very tall broom handle, and go from there. I'd probably still start with something sturdy, and relatively light (Stormwater piping they sell ones that are around the diameter of a 20c coin). Foam is also really useful, as is paint. Just note: If using foam, you have to use a base coat. It likes to absorb paint. Spray-paint is a great thing to use, however, in some areas, you must be over 18 to buy it. This is pretty much the best help I can give you, so, I'll give you some sources: tutorials.abbott.me.uk/ an acutal larp one. Covers just larp themed stuff cosplaytutorial.com/ Has a large section on props, and some other things
Where on the oakheart armoury website did you purchase your shield? Was it just the blank round shield or was it something different? By the way your shield looks badass! I definitely want one now more than ever! Thanks :)
I remember the first time I opened some larp gear (epic fail alert) I had no idea about the oil and though that would only be put on the day before I went to a larp and was surprised when picking it up I dropped it a breastplate shaped oil imprint ended up on the floor and my mum was MAAAAAAAAD
I think a 15-20 pound Bow is Pefect for you. I have a 30 pound Bow and all Girls i know can shot it easy. But i dont know if it to much for LARPing. And i like that Helm.
"chemise" translates to "shirt" in French; in the sense of "clothing that covers the torso". It's not "chemist". That one would translate to "chimiste".
hey mo mo, you are by far my fav youtuber and i was wondering if you would come to my baseball game tomorrow at the cne in toronto, if you don't want to come or can't that's fine. if you can't come then i might have another cne game on friday. the game is at 12:00 at the baseball field, im number 12 on the pickering redsox and would love it if you would come!
My god! I love your enthusiasm! I seriously want to at some point meet you and become great friends, you are amazballs! I would love to have my first larp be at one you're attending.
Hey man, just a tip for using a bow, never let go of that string without an arrow in it. (Known as 'dry firing')

I've owned multiple bows for a few years now and I _still_ suck at stringing them. My excuse is that I'm 16 (and have the strength of a guinea pig).
OrangeYetti Mate I'm 11 and can string a bow in 3 seconds
I'm 17 and I never strung a bow soooo U GOOD
You're twenty now
I was so touched by your reaction while unboxing the shield!! Like ''Omg I want one too to feel the same!!!'' .. Btw I'm the drunk fangirl from Saturday night at Bicolline and I'm so happy to see you back :D
That shield is BEAUTIFUL!
Shard Live Action Roleplaying Tbf I think that might be my reaction too! :D
Mo Mo, you are literally the cutest person ever
I love you, boo

every time you make me soooooooo exited. but i'm to young to go to any larp's here in the Netherland and that makes me kinda sad.
i'm dealing with depression and selfharm right now and larp and geeky stuff help me so much with that. your videos make me want to do something with my life and i really cannot thank you enough for that.
keep up the good work Momo
Oh man, Cody...epic eyebrow skillz.

You are literally the cutest, I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!
+John D ok what the ACUAL fuck
Michael Kemper You are not who I messaged? What business do you have here? Well,
Look up foot fetish. It's the most common fetish under breasts. Most people have heard of it.

Nice to see people getting excited about Oakheart Armory gear. My uncle and his brother do awesome work. And I'm pretty sure that it is hand painted.
The shield and bow are so pretty! Omg great haul!
I survive a minute of intense screaming with earbuds on.
The helmet was actually a wise choice for using a bow with. "Kettle hats", as they're called, were very popular with crossbowmen and archers in the middle ages.

Hi! I saw you at Bicolline at a concert, I was watching the show with my boyfriend when i saw your beauuuutifuuulll dress or skirt..

I see why that shield made you so happy ^~^ It is so cooooollllll
Could you do another video about your hair up keep?
Aw I love that you're so happy about your shield :3 You treat it like a new puppy XD
(Also, I'm not sure, but I think chemise is pronounced like shem-eese. Just going off the small amount of french that I know :) )
I hate to be that dude, but Chemise is pronounced "Shem-eez" because french.
Oh no! I thought I put it there, but my laptop had other ideas! Thanks for the correction. I hope Mo sees that.
True af, she lives in Canada, she learned French, it's basic curriculum, how does she not know that?
I just wanted to say that I have officially declared you my favourite person ever, congratulations ❤
just so you know, chemise is pronounced sheh-MEESE, its french i think.
Also, where did you get the beige dress?
OMG!!!! IM FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW!!! THNX THAT YOU UPLOADED A VID!!!❤❤❤❤
where did you get that gorgeous tan dress in 6:25???
You made the design? I really like it
can we just take a moment to appreciate how cute connor is in his jumper
Nothings more adorable than seeing a girl nerd out over a beautiful shield.
Ahahah I play archery and watching you string this was honestly the funniest thing ever 😂😂😂
I'm a new LARPer but I have experience in D&D, bowmanship and swordmanship. Got any advice?
You are the very first one i´ve seen freak out when seeing an awesome shield :-P
And i totally understand why it was a srsly epic shield
Omg i love your videos so much i literarily cried in JOY when you opened the shield! i larp aswell and can i just say I CAN RELATE
i see the Brave reference with the bow you did there. best movie ever.
What do you do in a Larp? Do you go to war or complete quests, or...?
The bosse on centergrip shields serves many purposes, but punching ain't one. You're supposed to punch with the edge of a centergrip shield, it's much more effective.
Roland Warzecha has a bunch of amazing videos on how viking-era shields are supposed to be used; he's the go-to martial expert on viking-era combat.
Shield reaction is adorkable!
So cool!! 😁 i love how excited you got!!
I can't find her bicoline video anywhere and it's one of my favorites ono
Her reaction to the sheild is golden
Where did you find somewhere to print a design on the shield I really want to get one for LARP but cant find anywhere that does shield designs.
+rachel winrow Oakheart Armory.

Do you make your own corsets?
Oh my Lord, this video is 5 years old now, I feel so old.
ARE YOU GOING TO FANEXPO 2015 IN TORONTO???
Will we see you at Fan Expo?
This video is like christmas. Omg. Perfect.

By the way, the term chemise is actually pronounced "shimmy," so that you know. The "ch" makes a "sh" sound and the "s" is silent.
She's Canadian, she speaks basic French! Why did she not notice
+Zachary Weidl (JuiceTin) Not all Canadians speak French! I'm from Alberta and it wasn't part of my required curriculum in school.
+Blah Elementary French is compulsory....? Maybe it's just Alberta, I mean grade 9 isn't high school in Alberta.
That shield is gorgeous, I want one!! *o*
I love your videos so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are amazing Mo Mo
Did you ever work at the college of wizardry?
"I got one arrow, cuz... broke"
Me: story of my life
This is awesome, lot's of shopping inspiration! Thanks for this!
That is the same helmet Mercury and Jay Garrick use .
"chemise" translates to "shirt" in French; in the sense of "clothing that covers the torso".
It's not "chemist". That one would translate to "chimiste".
I want all of the things for all of the cosplays I wanna do!
Awww I didn't get a catalogue or t-shirt...
will there be any content from Bicoline? :)
Is that a Merlin Poster ?😍😍
You are the coolest Viking princess with the heart of a 5 year old ever. Youre awesome
why did I imagine jona the arc when she put on the helm
Where did you go? 😭
when you were screaming about your shield the batman and robin on the wall were staring at you like you were crazy
hey mo mo, you are by far my fav youtuber and i was wondering if you would come to my baseball game tomorrow at the cne in toronto, if you don't want to come or can't that's fine. if you can't come then i might have another cne game on friday. the game is at 12:00 at the baseball field, im number 12 on the pickering redsox and would love it if you would come!
