I don't necessarily agree that actors have to have that much in common with the characters they portray (as long as they're visually similar enough to not be distracting), so long as they put in the work and do the research to portray the character as faithfully as possible. They are *actors* after all. The whole point is for them to be something they are not. I think it's much more important that they be able to put themselves in their characters' shoes, that they be able to empathize with their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Now sure, if they already have a lot in common with the character(s) then doing so will be that much easier, but it's a bonus, not a requirement, imo 😉. That all being said, I agree with everything else here 100% 😊!!!

Beautifully stated. I came here from Matt Fradd’s Locals community. 🙏

Thank you! Such a refreshing view, respectful and rich🙏🏽✝️🩵

I first saw Joan of Arc, outside of a few vague mentions, in a video game called Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War. It piqued my interest and made me research who and how this person that wasn't a noble rose to such prominence. I know her story has inspired many people and if done well this rendition could inspire so many more.

Oh man! Great to see you back.

Apt, to the point and 100% correct.

🔥🔥🔥

Honestly, if you put as small flag on an 1.8 meter spear. Then you could create a harness on your standard bearers back. And put the spear there. So you can see which regiment your soldiers belong to from an distance. Especially on a battle field covered in smoke or mist. And in a pinch, if your standard bearer runs out of gunpowder. Or their main weapon breaks. Then they can take this flag spear off their back. And stab the enemy with their spear flag.

why is he lowkey handsome

Sling to me seems more realistic but... The Romans who carried both pilum and javelin (please don't quote me on which was the longer I can't remember) they would carry the longer one in their hand (like a walking stick) and the other would be slung across both shoulders underneath their pack (perhaps even with other stuff hanging off of it) HOWEVER... Carrying across both shoulders is obviously highly impractical if you need it in a hurry so... Yea i'mma go with sling

"Leave your weapons at the door" Ok, I hope you have a while! * takes off bow, pole arm, quiver, scabbard with the sword, dagger from belt, knife from boot, throwing star from hair, another throwing knife from sleeve, other throwing knife from behind shield*

Having done larp in heavy armor, I have found that there's many things that you think are fine carrying/holding because you tried walking with it for a couple minutes but once you spend your entire day carrying that stuff, well it's not so practical anymore. Bottom of the story is, carrying that stuff like you did and showing off how it could work comes with a massive caveat that there's a big difference between that and carrying that stuff for days and in actual use

1:41 Hum from from a propeller engine comes droning through. 😆 The perfect Airplane! (1980) joke.

This is really cool!

Never saw someone looking more like an adventurer than you. Glad you didn't carry that axe. I wouldn't be able to handle that level of adventuring yet.

6:16 you might want to take a look into manchu bows. They are big, not as much as longbows but definitely not short and were also carried around on bow sheath. Also the sheath is not necesarily just for cavalry I think there are depictions of ming foot soldiers with such bow sheathes.

These sorts of experiments have more historical relevance than many people realize. Some period soldiers carried multiple different weapons & switched between them conveniently. Elite Ottoman cavalry could alternate between bow, sword, & short lance with ease & grace. Some Ottoman cavalry also had a matchlock firearm & mace in addition to these weapons. Two 16th-century texts assign a 5+ft lead maul to English archers. Henry Barrett's manual says the archer carried this polearm with a hook at the girdle. Roger Ascham mentioned how English archers might have a leaden maul hanging on their backs for fighting up close. Joseph Swetnam described a person who walked around in civilian life with a Welsh hook on his back. Etc. While I don't know of much evidence for wearing yew longbows on the back or for wearing spears on the back on foot, Qing infantry appear in paintings using firearms while wearing big Manchu bows in cases suspended from the waist & quivers full of long & heavy arrows. & some Chinese infantry used both bows & spear. One late-Ming manual describes a method of using both a full pike (heavy 16+ft spear) & crossbow. This involves wearing the small crossbow on the back tucked in the belt while marching with the pike in hand & then setting the pike down or sticking in the ground when ready to shoot with the crossbow. Another late Ming manual equips every soldier with either a pike or a shorter staff & with either a firearm or bow. Reading these sources makes me think that gear management was (& still is) a key martial skill.

She did say to you to have a nice 👍day.

The shorter it is, the closer it comes to being a javelin. Another very valuable weapon…

But now add a fireplace for a Christmas-y vibe

"Though he may LOOK like any unassuming guardsman, this guy actually has a body count of over 28 million people!" - Exerpt taken from what I hope is one of Cj Dachamp's future videos "DAYLESS THE CONQUEROR HAS BLACK AIR FORCE ENERGY".

He's back, now with the soup strainer DLC equipped.

Nice video 👍

I must say, that mustache is magnificent. Truly wondrous. Hm? Oh, yes, the video. Spectacular.

This made me really wistful, wish I was there having a pint and a pipe with you mate

8:00 Your enthusiasm and willingness to experiment are both commendable, but your simple "carrying test" isn't realistic enough because *you're not wearing any armor, including a helmet, or carrying any other gear, such as a backpack and bedroll etc.* which could potentially make it more difficult to carry weapons on your back. A helmet, in particular, could also interfere with retrieving items from your back. You also struggle to reach behind you to take arrows from your (back) quiver and discard your bow and spear to the ground before drawing another weapon, which is perhaps ok in a fight, but what about being able to stow them before drawing another weapon?

I love your outfit! Ur living my life!! You are me if I was me irl.

You did it!! I'm so proud of you!!!

Super, super grateful for both Shad’s and your videos on this topic! I’m a novice LARPer (only attended my first-ever game late last year!) and I’ve only played as non-combat/magical/support so far, but I’m interested in dipping into combat sometime soon, and my weapon of choice is the spear! I know this video is older now but I really appreciate the insight into wielding and wearing the spear. Your garb looks absolutely to die for, the layers and details are fantastic! 🖤✨

Your videos are so good!

Your vedio is so cool!

Big shad moment

Roflmao this was highly entertaining and informative 💕😂

MOOOOOM! The guy with a spear and a bow on his back is running on the backyard again!

You’re so very kind in that scene Dawson

I'm in awe by the solution you've come up with. While placement matters (quiver, spear, longbow) as your enemy comes closer, it's still just as effective if they come closer without you realizing, since you have your trusty sword. Kudos for the ingenuity demonstrated!

Nice 👍

Your just needs to stay dyed blue… I mean… uh, do as you please, oh Great Conqueror

Lmao. Amazing. Thank you.

Congrats on your first video! It turned out well and was interesting. I've got a few spears and I've always wondered how people carried multiple spears back when it was a thing. I would've been really annoying having to carry several spears on your way to a battlefield miles away. I'd wager they rigged up something like you made to help them manage their multiple spears and then removed it once they got to their destination. I live in and around Rochester, MN for around 15 years. I miss Minnesota, it's a great place to live. I don't miss the winters though. lol 😊

The answer to the shield is using a buckler. Much less cumbersome and awkward than other shield types. Held at arms length the buckler gives a better cone of protection than a larger shield held close to the body.

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. John 3:16 (share the good news of the gospel around the world!) Have a wonderful day/night, may the LORD bless you all, and farewell!,.,,,,,,.,.,,.,..,.,.,

Nice!

Very cool

Pizza goldfish or cheddar?

darn thought u guys would start a little sparring in there to prove ya points ;'D

if you play Skyrim, the Iron Battleaxe is probably my favorite axe in video games (by appearance).

Also Grubblins

Did i hear him say "double BEARDED axe" right at the end there?
