Love this video
Awesome video! What a cool intro. Listen to Saboton - Shadows it's Lord of the Rings Metal! I was thinking about doing this same setup with a Shower curtain or plastic tarp, keep it in your bag and it's basically a Poncho and wind shelter and emergency tarp. You can wear it first and then find the ideal holes and add grommets for very cheap or use a lighter to melt a hole in the plastic shower curtain (melting the hole prevents it from tearing further) and use the hole for the brooch pennular blanket pin thing shown here in this video. I really want to try it with a shower curtain because it's so easy to find but a regular water proof tarp can quickly be turned into a rainproof poncho using this same thing and you can carry it alongside a blanket so you have both available. Though if you poke a hole through any plastic material for the blanket pin you risk not being able to use that material for a rainproof tarp shelter, but it's a small hole and a tiny piece of tape in your pack can fix that should the need arise.
POV: you just rolled up to the wrong medieval hood 3:39
I love how he just comes out of the wood like a forest creature or a time traveller, to bestow some ancient wisdom upon us
Hands down, this is the best "How To Make A Cloak" tutorial on UA-cam.
What a nice video
epic

The Heound doth barketh.
If you cold smoke your blanket , it becomes very water resistant as well . In all but the heaviest rains , the water will bead and roll off .
What is cold smoking?
@@brockgan8941 cold smoking is the process of smoking indirectly . In smoking meats and hides , a smoke house is made (it can be a cardboard box for a refrigerator) and smoke is directed into the bottom of the box with stove pipe or some other ducting . With the items hanging in the center of the box , it is completely permitted with smoke . Of course, vent holes need to be cut around the top sides for the smoke to escape . Make sure the smoke source is at least 4 feet away to keep the smoke cooler .
Thank you! That's awesome. I was thinking about doing this same setup with a Shower curtain or plastic tarp, keep it in your bag and it's basically a Poncho and wind shelter and emergency tarp.

I love this type of real research when it comes to ancient clothing for the daily confrontation with the elements.
starts sore of scary but very informative, thanks.
this is so helpful!! I am going to my first fantasy event and every tutorial i found was either confusing or too difficult for me. thank u so much
❤
its funny that this is my primary source, even though its a secondary source(or tertiary if youre so inclined) and finding the actual depictions is my secondary source(which would be either primary or secondary depending on who depicted them)
Thanks for showing this I enjoyed learning about it
The left downward slash is always difficult. Especially with my 28 pound, 64 inch, and 6 inch wide greatsword. 👍 awesome video
thank you so much! In all the videos I found, they did not explain HOW TO USE IT. Very grateful to you. for the information.
wow so amazing! Can i ask you how many cm this cloak have?
I believe he said it was 60" x 83" so that should be about 152cm x 211cm
What a great explanation. I shall do this when hiking in winter now!
A good series. You should have kept making these videos
A simple but very useful tutorial. I've come to believe everyone should have a wool blanket handy (in part for its natural properties of providing warmth, and water and flame resistance), with assorted survival/emergency supplies, ready to leave - if necessary, on a moment's notice. Thus if a major disaster hits (e.g., house on fire, earthquake, flood, riot, etc.) and you really need to run, grab it with a small pack or satchel and head out the door. You'll at least have a simple combination garment and blanket along with whatever other items you can carry.
Thanks it’s nice to know these things
810th subscriber thanks enjoyed the vid
809th subscriber! Woot! Enjoyed the video and the music especially!
I do believe you came straight out of that tapestry to bestow your cloakery wisdom.
Good blade choice, I had to subscribe!
Me when I'm bored and want to feel like jesus:
Primo content. Thanks!
use a acorn to cover exposed pin
Excellent tutorial. It helped me a lot with my own cloak. Although mine is a tad larger and traditional Norse in material and size.
Out of curiosity, what material and size is it?
Man... I always said I wish I would have been born back in the dark Ages instead. Lol Would be so much more simple and rewarding style of life. Quality of life and the land/animals would have been better I think too
Great video and I’ll check out sone of your others :) Keep up the awesome work!
I’d have to disagree with you there, living near starvation and working yourself to the bone for even the most measly of lifestyles. Having little to no money, one set of clothes maybe 2 if you’re lucky, constantly fighting off starvation where even one bad harvest could mean not making it through winter. No heating no refrigeration no air conditioning no modern medicine no proper lighting no nothing, hell an ingrown toenail could kill you. Most of your toil goes towards the lord that owns the land you work, and whenever your overlords go to war you’re gonna be drafted in as arrow fodder. Forget armor and swords, think a spear if you’re lucky, and you have to buy that yourself. And if you were lucky enough to not be thrown into battle you’d probably have your crops stolen for food by traveling armies, resulting in starvation for you and those around you. It was great if you were born into a trade or nobility, but most likely if you were born back then you wouldn’t live past infancy, and even if you did you’d still be bottom of the barrel. I could go on with how horrible it was during the feudal era for an average person but it’d be pages upon pages long. Don’t take for granted what you have now, sure life is complicated but it’s better than the short miserable lives that most people had to live centuries past. The great empires of yore were built on the backs of the forgotten and downtrodden, always remember that.
And this is coming from a history nerd, I love history and I wish I could’ve seen what it actually looked like… but I sure as hell am glad I won the lottery of human existence and was born in the modern era
Just go LARPing or do living history/reenactment, there are plenty of medieval villages which are being building in the way according to the time they are supposed to be from etc. You can help out building those (I don‘t know what you need for an application) if you „only“ do LARP (I‘m a former archaeologist and ongoing LARPer) you‘ll still learn to appreaciate your comfort of home. It‘s nice not having running water supplies, go out and play the warrior/merchant/scribe what ever you wanna be for a week but after that? You can just go back to the comfort of your home.
Thank you, pal!
Dat some good drip, learned a lot about cloak fashion and now I needa get me one of those pins
Make some !! Looks cool to just cobble together parts you find around the house too!
@@johnstevens9803 Yeah, true I should try and make one
Just out of curiosity, why are all of the strikes coming from a high guard? If you were to expose your chest to any enemy with a bow you are inviting a Boromir style death IMO.
Stone and string and no hole in your blanket,never a pin hole.
Excellent
There won‘t be a pin a hole, a fibula is made to go inbetween the strings of the fabric, that‘s why it has a round tip to pierce and destroy the cloth but go inbetween threads.
This is the exact video I needed. Thank you
what type of cloth is that?
I think he said it was wool
Thank god for The North Face. Still this is most interesting. Thank you.
OSC coats are better.
North Face is terribly over priced for their quality.
Remember that weird little smart kid in junior high who always ruined the grade curve and used to get his ass kicked every day? Ever wonder what happened to him? I found him! Just kidding Kortoso. Thanks for a great video. I use your ideas all the time when I hike in the mountains. I've been trying to figure out a good way to wear a blanket when using hiking poles . . . and there it is. You're a creative guy and I appreciate you sharing your ideas with us. God Bless and thanks again.
I swear I have killed this guy in Assassins Creed Valhalla
Watched this video 6 times to make sure I get it right ,
well done, my liege.
this shit is cool as fuck idky
this guy is wholesome as fuck
Make more video please
Well, I'm back to this channel at last. I still enjoy, now more than ever perhaps.
Kinda creepy the way you emerged from the bush and stone faced walked towards the camera.
Haha he left the same way he emerged. Into the bushes…😂
We need Oblivion music playing here.
You don't have to always pierce the cloth, simply fold the cloth around the pin and use the pin to lever it around so that its held there by the weight.
