How to make a British Painted Knapsack from the American Revolutionary War
This video will give you a step by step process of how to construct a painted knapsack 1778-1800. The original knapsack this is based off of dates to the 1790s but no British knapsack of the American Revolution exist. We opted to reproduce this as it is still of the era.

Reenacting The French Napoleonic Fusilier Part II: Field Gear & Weaponry

As someone who enjoys crafting stuff, please keep videos like this coming, they are a great source of information!

Us Rebels have the Ben Warner knapsack from Connecticut
I LOVE all this but have zero interest in 1812
Thought LATE WAR the Greatcoats were NATIONAL BLUE???
you should put the patterns you made online for purchase somewhere so people can make this aswell
Lovely you should do an update on your Napoleonic impression.
Uniforms = Big Morale Boost
Wonderful video! :)
That is crazy! And awesome! Wow!
Very informative!! Many thanks for the excellent details!! What size are the buckles?
Really interested in the recipe for that paint.
great
Great work dude! This will help me up my reenactment impression and help me continue loving sewing, and continue wanting to always sew! Much obliged, sir. Thank you.
Well done Dan.
Can u try to make a Swedish Uniform review vid.
Great video! Thank you !!! What type of paint did you use?
You mentioned you make these as kits, where could one purchase one?
it will always be a mystery to me on how they produced all of this kit for a single soldier. At the time, with no proper machines, how did they manage to mass produce these uniforms? How did they manage to kill so many cows and make backpacks from them?
With manufactures. Manufactures replaced guilds in the early modern period. By the way there were early type of machines from the 18th century...
Fascinating. I’d have never thought to use a stencil but, of course, how else would you paint maybe 800 knapsack logos with any degree of consistency?

Nice! Glad to see another video
THE KING HAS RETURNED!!!!
He has returned!
this is fantastic! i just recently decided to dive into this era of history i had neglected for so long and it's incredibly fascinating. Napoleon Total War is what piqued my interest originally and it's been a lot of fun learning about all the different empires and kingdoms at the time, learning what each unit did and looking into the amazing uniforms everyone was wearing.
Dan, are you going to Waterloo in 2025? I and a few others from the southern states are planning to go as 9th Light Infantry.
This is a very good video and also great attention to detail. I do have a question though. Is it possible to still see 1806 model shakos in 1810+ (when the new shako first eas first made) or would they have all been replaced by then?

In theory they should all have been replaced. New equipment would be issued to fresh recruits plus an additional issue in the autumn (so that troops went through the winter with uniforms that weren't already falling apart). The regulation specified a 3-year replacement cycle on headgear, with each regiment receiving equipment for a third of their number each year. But regulation and reality often diverged ! There was a big re-equip in 1809-10 after the end of the 1809 campaign, at a time where the Emprire was mostly at peace (apart from a little bit of trouble down in Spain). So by 1811-12, it's almost certain that troops would almost entirely have current pattern shako's. There are bound to be a few men who kept old ones that had worn in and were comfortable, and quite a few colonels worked hard to keep hold of grenadier bearskins even though they were very non-regulation by then. But after 1812, you might see some 1806 pattern shakoes re-appearing as depots were stripped of anything hidng in dark corners to equip the new armies that were being raised in a hurry.
I wish that you would do more like an update I love it.
ha I bought that same us 1812 militia pattern LOL I am trying to sew my own early Crimean war British Grenadier Guard coatee and will also be modifying also to match museum pieces. bravo well done uniform. I wanna get into the Grande Armee one day!
Curious as to what they would have put inside the internal pockets of the coat tails. Also want to know if the pre -1812 trousers were cut as high? Any input on that?
They would put everything in them: from all kinds of food to coinpurses, spoons, tobacco pouches. Maybe even some small tools for the firearm. As for the pantaloons, they reached up to the navel, not higher as shown here. The ones in the video are unfortunetely incorrect compared to originals. The image he used is only a caricature.
where can i get a uniform ?
Great job on the research and production of the items you might actually be better equiped then the soldiers during the 100 days campaign In reality very few soldiers had all of the equipment you have, the forming of the army in late 1815 was a mish mash of equipment, new and old so most soldiers would wear a variety of different regulated/unregulated items
Can you make a link to the pokalem pattern
You should do a tutorial video on taking care of leather equipment as I keep hearing about how you "wax" them. I have found actual written tutorials but I am more of a visual learner and as a reenactor starting out would not want to absolutely destroy any of my equipment lol
Eh there thank a lot for this i was currently modeling this uniform for a game i am working on right now and this will come very handy!
Mon ami, great wideo. I really like how you put a lot of effort into recreating the individual pieces! As a reenactor myself from the 33eme de ligne in Poland, I too make (most) of my equipment myself. All the pieces look great, I only have one comment concerning the campaign pants. The drawings from the period wich you refer to, are showing caricatures and the pants were in reality a lot lower and would end a bit above the navel. If you read the earlier regulations, it is mentioned that the veste should cover the highest button of the pants, which tells us something about the height of the pants themselves. Keep doing great work and I hope to see more videos from you in the future! Vive l'empereur!
You see it all of the time in the movies - the costumiers put the waist line at the modern level and never take the trouble to notice that historically it was much higher, at navel level, or in some early periods even lower than it is today. Well spotted! What a great video and great impression!
That’s cool but we’re do I buy it?
I made most of it.
@@calteacher2191 man, you made two great videos and left. Why? You are bursting with knowledge and talent, would love to hear more from you.
I love this! great attention to detail and beautiful sewing
Great job dude, thanks
Fantastic video! Your passion, skills and attention to detail are superb.
so great
Was it hard to sew the uniform? And how long did it take? I can only imagine such a well made uniform must have been very tiring to sew.
Most people want to reenact the imperial guard, it's nice to finally see someone reenacting a common Fusilier for a change. Uniform turned out great by the way. I also love that you paid attention to accuracy.
The Guard are cool to look at, but in terms of something I’d actually want to wear I’ve always preferred the standard fusilier.
@@Zarastro54 I don't blame you at all, if you've worn a Bearskin, you'd very much prefer a shako without a doubt
@@kshatriiya2046 The bearskin was used only by the Old Guard, but not by the Middle and Young Guards.
Line Grenadiers wore Bearskins early war aswell, the Grenadiers of the 3éme Régiment de ligne wore them until 1811. Added to that, Légère Carabiniers also wore Bearskins early war
@@kristofantal8801 Are you sure bearskins weren't also worn by at least the grenadiers of the Middle Guard?
What’s the brass symbol on the cartridge box called? I’m trying to find an image of one but I can’t seem to find it.
Can you please do a video on their Shakos, I don't understand their color code
Okay. I understand why these products are so expensive now
Your work deserves millions of views
Please tell me you’re selling uniforms. Please!
