Fire With Viking Flint Striker
Переглядів 3933 роки тому
Starting a fire with a Viking flint striker, flint, charcloth and jute fibers. First, the flint is struck with the Viking firesteel to cause sparks to bounce onto the charcloth. When a spark catches, it must be nurtured to grow and catch the jute fibers on fire. Once a flame is visible, it can be placed beneath twigs or in this case a pine resin covered pinecone. Often, this process varies in t...

    Except for the type of front/crotch area. Those pants scream of American Zouave ,lol. (former Zouave re-enactor, 5th NY Infantry). The inseam on my own trousers however is much lower, down between the knees.

    I might be wrong, but these breeches looks more mideavel than viking style. Although some of our national costumes have a modified version of these breeches. I live in an area in Norway that are steeped in viking history, I have to check this out.😊 Btw, you are a handsome booke too 😊.

    How is this a tutorial? You don't cover what measurements you took, how you figured out what size each piece should be, how to actually construct the pants, or cover anything actually helpful to someone who wants to make a pair of these. I can find tons of tutorials on hand sewing and making knife pleats. What I can't find is what measurements do I need to take and how do I manipulate them to come up with my pattern pieces.

    So there's a separate belt for the braes? They don't attach to the one around the tunic? Maybe a dumb question and I'm probably butchering the proper terminology but I'm curious and I know f#ck all about medieval clothing design lol. I'm a visual learner so just reading about it doesn't really do much for me. I like to dabble in concept/character design and I love how Warhorse tried to be historically accurate in Kingdom Come Deliverance. Cool video though, new to your channel, this is my first from yours. **Watching the braes video now, makes more sense. Probably should have watched that first but like I said I'm clueless.

    Nice pants, however, do you have any evidence that they used belt loops and leather belts to keep their pants up? To my knowledge they would have folded over the edge and tied it with a braid, like sweat pants. Belt loops weren't invented until the end of the 19th century.

    This is a pretty great pattern and general look. I do want to point out that we we have no evidence of pleating in the location or era that these pants likely existed in. The various fragmented evidence that I have found point to gathers being significantly more likely. We have evidence of gathered garments in both the regional and historical context! Keep up the good work!

  • @fandangofonteinskalita1333

    Strange that you see these as goofy…modern clothing is awful, I absolutely love these huge pants, they keep me both warm and cool in the winter and they’re very comfortable. Baggy pants are amazing, your take was a bit conservative…

    This was more interesting than I expected. The central strip basically acts as a gusset for easy movement -- what a good idea!
