    2:30 For those curious, that's actually a bedroll, not a tire. A lot of the time, soldiers in professional armies during the early 18th century and onwards up until the mid-late 19th century didn't have the space in their issued rucksacks to store their bedrolls while on march, and would instead tie them together and wear them like a sash so they didn't have to carry them with their arms. This was mostly seen on the French troops of the 18th century. However, the British, Prussian, and Russian armies were shown to use that concept to some extent as well.

    For those wondering along around 2:35, the tire around the soldier is actually a rolled up blanket. It was common for soldiers and militia to wear it like that in the 1800s. Soldiers usually wouldn’t carry all their camp equipment into battle, but many would bring their blankets and could easily tie it around themselves with a bit of twine.
