Amazing how you can all pretend to be warriors but when covid happened Canada was one of the weakest countries with a weak leader. Grow up you spoiled people.
TheVoyageNorth does say "its best to fill out the questionaire and have a zoom chat with us before we tell you about the price" but can someone give me a ballpark figure for how much it usually costs to go to Bico?
Out of nowhere UA-cam decided to recommend this to me, not knowing I was there in 1996 for that first battle. Who knew that this little weekend event would grow to include to include dozens of buildings and thousands of people. Congrats to the organisers for maintaining the energy from that first event. It was a blast back then and it looks like it still is!
Omg same!! I was there around maybe 1999-2000. There was almost no buildings there only the biggest and most powerful guild could afford that! We were with the barbarians and I remember I would always be a healer during the battle because I'm so bad at this lol Can't believe it grow so much very happy to see all those and building there it has become magical!!
Now I’m nerdy but always thought this stuff was a bit much… until I got older & realized how mentally refreshing it is to let go from reality for a bit & dive into a world of fantasy with likeminded others 🙏
This is one of those experiences that is so good you almost get PTSD from it cus nothing else will ever be this good ever again. Like your best experience at a summer camp as a kid you still think about 30 years later
*Why didn't my high school guidance counselor tell me I could be a WHISKEY SATYR* Great video. I loved it all but the Fae ceremony gave me the goosebumps.
haha i will see you there next year. This looks like heaven on earth to me. Love and support from an instant new subscriber down here in New Zealand! @@LARPingdotOrg
@@aMAYSingLife Mehhh.... It can get pretty muddy when it rains since a lot of people use the same roads. But, I would say that the roads in the forest are the most muddy
@@flocondeneige2007 yeah just kidding about the muddy mess that was burning man last year.. Bico stays pretty solid most of the time but it has been known to take on a ton of rain at times. you have to be ready for anything lol.
I was there in 1996, during its first year, when I was 16. It was the most immersive experience of my life. As part of the organization, we had to switch characters because there weren't enough of us to keep the story going if we stayed in just one role the whole weekend. It was amazing-still one of the top experiences of my life. I'm thrilled to see how much it has grown, far beyond anything I could have imagined. I live just 30 minutes away now, and after watching your video, I'm excited to return and enjoy it as a full visitor. Thank you!
ahhh thanks so much for highlighting the fae ceremony, my guild has such a fun time hosting it each year! also i legit gasped at the video of me shooting "archers picking off enemies" makes me so incredibly happy.
Back in the day, say 40 years ago, my pals in SCA would look to enhance their armor kit by finding suitable sources of metal plates. Curiously enough, several local speed signs went missing. The quality and finish of armor and costuming has advanced beyond those early days - such that they rival or exceed movie props. Great video
As the videographer I was so excited when I saw you all coming down the road. I was like oh shit tree imps! And I ran out of camp to catch you. Thanks for looking so cool!
I love that everyone is dressed and in character to some degree. With something like Galaxy's Edge at Disney, the theme and decor is amazing but crowds walking around in jean shorts & Mickey shirts just kinda destroys the magic for me.
@LARPingdotOrg I don't think I can afford it. At least, not right now. But I will certainly reach out to you guys soon. I would love to document the whole journey as well, to the extent that's possible. I know no tech though. :)
As a veteran, personally, I am against wet-wipes of any kind. Nothing beats soap and water to skin. If you wet wipe, do that in between regular showering, to make sure you don't break out in rash or in a bad hygiene situation. Some get away with delaying showing, but trust me, you smell worse to others than you do yourself and you don't ever want to experience prickly heat (sweat born rash that feels like IV needles being stabbed an inch or two deep into your back over and over)
You're 100 percent right, I travel + work and wipes don't keep you clean. You need showers and fresh clothes otherwise you're going to get fungus/ rashes/sick
I have been researching LARP for about a year now. I have wanted to try dipping my toes in so to speak. And this is by far the best video production and best event breakdown video I have found. You have done a great job on this video in my opinion, and thank you for bringing this event to my attention. I will hopefully be able to attend in 2024. I have wanted something to replace my Oklahoma D-Day trips.
Ok he actually slapped him I respect this now so much more than other larps. The level of authenticity is commendable, especially coming from a Catholic background.
I have been a cosplayer for years (mostly casual) and have been attending cons for quite a while. I expected it to be like a fancy convention but i was really suprised by the complexity of this “world”. I should try it out someday :3.
It´s quiet differnt from what you get in Cosplay. Larp is a completly differnt concept after all. While "costuming" is involved, the main focus is on the role play.
I first found out about Bicolline years ago when I watched MoMo O'Brien's video on it. Now there's only a few months left until I'm old enough to go with TVN, and this video relit that longing in me to attend!! Can't wait to apply. Looks absolutely brilliant.
Ive been doing lorien trust events for 20 years in the uk im 42 now i started with no dnd background but loved the combat. as the years have gone i just hit mage age lol but i still fight in all the tournaments and after all these years i still love the larp
Holy hell I have never once thought about Larping. (I do play tons of RPG high fantasy and medieval games though) but this. This makes me want to get into it. This LOOKS LIKE A BLAST.
I desperately want to listen to the trio singing oak and ash and thorn durring the fae ceremony, I think one of them is singing in fangs which is just insane
I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of that video. The lengths they've gone to, the detail, the atmosphere....oh man! I wanted to magically port through my screen and join in. As an extrovert that became an introvert with age, the lady that speaks at 28:37 warmed my heart a little =)
Her take on it was incredibly wholesome. Just a mother doing her duty to go and protect her child but finding out there was so much there for her even. Amazing.
6:18 the slap in traditional custom was done when someone was knighted on the Battlefield before a war. They swear an oath, and that slap is to remind them of the oath they took, and may they never forget it.
My friend took me to his larping weekend trip in Louisiana he has with his friends once a year. I didn't know what the heck was going on but I had a good time.
it will definitely allow you to get your steps in just existing lol. about 10-13miles walked per day is the avg. then the battles can be as athletic as you want, add armor and now you are carrying a ruck sack while working out lol. its a blast though..
it will be cool if there is a secret dark brotherhood guild that have to sneak into other peoples guilds and steal or find information find weak spots or hidden entrances. and leaders of other guilds can pay for there services against others
Went to Drachenfest 2018 and Conquest of Mythodea by myself with no one else just a small tent. Didn't know anybody and had to figure it out. This "Voyage North" is a great way to get to the event and to help you get acclimated. PLUS FOOD. Looking to be there for 2024. For the Coin!
What happens when you die? do you respawn at camp or have to make a new character? are there burial ceremonies for fallen kings and heroes? Cool AF though! Love that you guys are enjoying yourself in such a quirky and elaborate way!
In the big battles you respawn at points on the field. They place them strategically to slow down how fast they can respawn.. better fit you are faster you can respawn. On assassinations those are handled in game and you are only dead for that specific quest.
...this looks like so much fun. Popped up on my feed. Going to see if I can get some friends to sign up and come as a traveling bardic troupe and do some busking.
I've seen the Kappa brothers in battle on Tallien Adventures channel in battle with massive hammers bigger than even guys twice there size would have trouble using. But their satyr whiskey and bread characters are THE BEST by far. did you guys get chased by orks during gnome night? that leather guild cape and dagger are beautiful. 33:30 YO, MY MAN TALLIAN ADVENTURES!
This is a fantastic video. I’ve LARPed (on and off) for 30 years now and I’d previously considered checking out Bicolline but now I think I may very well be sold.
Really great video! I've been wanting to go for years and hopefully next year will be my first time. Been LARPing for a long time and this is the ultimate one for me.
I have to say, I'm not a LARPing guy, nor do I have intent in going to those kind of events. But god damn, your video is super interesting, one of the clearest video I've ever seen. You've outlined every question anyone might have about the event itself with great details. The event looks really nice, looks like Tomorrowland for LARPing haha.
Glad to see you had fun at Gnome night! I was one of the organizers for it :D we had almost 400 gnomes this year! I brought 250 of those hats 😂 I'm the one in the hat that lit up!
You know, somehow non German Larp "hollidays" always seem friendlier. On Drachenfest we kad the "Knüppeltag" (Cludgel Day). Where a big blob of people wandered the streets of Aldradach to beat anyone not wearing a hat. xD But it got prohibited by the (in time) city officials because it was "too disruptive". We still got the night of long knives where everyone on the field at night is fair game. :D And in replacement of the Knüppeltag we now got a sporing event, the "Steckenkrieg" (Stick War) which always devolved into a giant violent brawl. Weapons are obviously forbidden, but well, pans, ladles, wood planks and bricks are not weapons. They actually hire guards to protect the game from disruption of the hooligans. There is quiet an hilarious image from this year I remember of someone beating a guard on the grund screaming "We are peaceful what are you!" Here is a video from 2018, thats not a battle, its a sporting event: ua-cam.com/video/q0FWg9fJc-E/v-deo.html
@@theexchipmunk wow, I watched that.. I think? I would like to film that? lol. That could get intense for sure. I would like to travel to some of the other large LARPs and film them, I think that would be pretty cool to see the differences..
Greetings from Germany, that sounds very friendly. Not my favorit Setting, but looks very nice. Very good and fun Video. The Satyrs and the „Scar“ where my favorit parts.
And really a lot of alcohol (optional) :P I participated many years (I live in Quebec). Was awesome to see this video. There are of course much more than four guilds, but I am guessing those are four that welcome travelers via The Voyage North plan. My experience was also all in French, so maybe they are four big English speaking guilds.
Never larped before but this definitely looks like fun. I wish there was a better idea of the cost tho, i understand it varies on package but just like range would be helpful when considering applying and all.
This reminds me of what the Evermore Gardens tried to be, and it looks like Bicolline pulled it off flawlessly (It’s really cool to see a larp village)
I really want to try bicolline at some point it sounds great, I've larped alot in the uk and some of our fest larps are quite big now but this looks next level with all the IC buildings etc. Maybe in a couple of years once I can save up for the travel.
Is there by any chance indoor lodging for those of us with medical conditions I personally have a CPAP machine that needs electricity to run is there any indoor lodging to sleep but electricity so I could sleep with my CPAP or what I just be out of luck for that
Such a great video!!!! I look so funny with the sun in my eyes at the end!! Im also so happy to see footage from both Knighting ceremonies! I cant wait till next year! I have soo many plans and ideas from this year. It just keeps getting better and better each and every year!
You know you want to go to Bicolline. Apply to The Voyage North today: bit.ly/3EHWF2r
2 question do yall like black people to come an feel free to take my idea if i can i change a electric bike to a horse
Amazing how you can all pretend to be warriors but when covid happened Canada was one of the weakest countries with a weak leader. Grow up you spoiled people.

@@LucidiaRising Same here, would like to know an avererage price before filling out anything.

I Can't Not see that Now! 😂

Now I’m nerdy but always thought this stuff was a bit much… until I got older & realized how mentally refreshing it is to let go from reality for a bit & dive into a world of fantasy with likeminded others 🙏
Yep, we get it!! It’s nice particularly these days to drop reality for a week!
No it’s defo a bit much
It's only nerdy if you don't go all the way with it. It's l Ike acting only lovers don't give it their all
There’s Neverwinter Nights RP that’s still very lively amidst dozens of custom servers. Check it out!
Right it's just a big ol nerd party that removes any insecurity or fear of judgement as literally everyone is there to do the same thing
"we are flesh and bone made of stars long gone" is one of the hardest lines I've ever heard spoken.

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT! THEY PULL ME BACK IN AGAIN!

Her take on it was incredibly wholesome. Just a mother doing her duty to go and protect her child but finding out there was so much there for her even. Amazing.
They didn’t even cover the time when the fae accidentally summoned a demon, who tried getting everyone at a party to sell them her soul.
6:18 the slap in traditional custom was done when someone was knighted on the Battlefield before a war. They swear an oath, and that slap is to remind them of the oath they took, and may they never forget it.

I have so many friends in the community, yet never made the move. But it's sooooo amazing that it exist!!

What happens when you die? do you respawn at camp or have to make a new character? are there burial ceremonies for fallen kings and heroes?

In the big battles you respawn at points on the field. They place them strategically to slow down how fast they can respawn.. better fit you are faster you can respawn. On assassinations those are handled in game and you are only dead for that specific quest.
In order to keep it immersive, they actually inject you with a paralyzing agent and burn you alive in a pyre.
Talk to TVN. They'll elaborate on all of these questions :)

There are of course much more than four guilds, but I am guessing those are four that welcome travelers via The Voyage North plan. My experience was also all in French, so maybe they are four big English speaking guilds.
There's so many guilds. I believe well over 200? But, yes the four mentioned in the video are part of The Voyage North.
Is going thru the voyage north the only way to go, and if so how much does it cost? I would absolutely love to be able to come to this event
No you can go on your own, tickets are about 350$ Canadian, will be on sale pretty soon.
@@ericarsenault9891 how is the parking situation onsite? If i don't go thru the voyage north i might be able to drive up instead
@jamesclare8800 it's kinda crazy, but free parking with your ticket.
You get sent to a parking lot in a quarry, then hop on a shuttle back to site
LMAO the whisky satyrs, i love them, i would sip with them
They are truly great folks, always a pleasure to see The Brothers Capra!
Sounds awesome! Better learn a bit of French if I wanna go
Looks absolutely amazing! Always thought LARPing looked fun and I would love to attend this at some point.
Heck yeah! It's the best!
Never larped before but this definitely looks like fun. I wish there was a better idea of the cost tho, i understand it varies on package but just like range would be helpful when considering applying and all.
This is geeky as hell, and I love it!
Very Proud to see this video as a hometowner ♥
I absolutely want to go. This event looks amazing.
You should! Talk to TVN!
Thanks a ton LARPing-Andrew-Garfield! ;) This sounds like soooooooooo much fun!
This looks so DOPE! Nice vid!
Awww thanks!
Buddy I think you just got me invested into something amazing. Thank you for this video
Here to drag you into our never ending hobby and community. Welcome. :)
This reminds me of what the Evermore Gardens tried to be, and it looks like Bicolline pulled it off flawlessly (It’s really cool to see a larp village)
feels like a movie set when you step into it.
I really want to try bicolline at some point it sounds great, I've larped alot in the uk and some of our fest larps are quite big now but this looks next level with all the IC buildings etc. Maybe in a couple of years once I can save up for the travel.
Talk to TVN! They'll help you plan it all and tell you what to expect.
Wow! Thank you for this video, I had no idea this place existed! Looks incredible!
Is there by any chance indoor lodging for those of us with medical conditions I personally have a CPAP machine that needs electricity to run is there any indoor lodging to sleep but electricity so I could sleep with my CPAP or what I just be out of luck for that
What a cool video!
Looks awesome!
Thanks for sharing the adventure
This is the best video I’ve seen on Bicolline
awww thank you!
Such a great video!!!! I look so funny with the sun in my eyes at the end!! Im also so happy to see footage from both Knighting ceremonies! I cant wait till next year! I have soo many plans and ideas from this year. It just keeps getting better and better each and every year!

@@LARPingdotOrg It was my pleasure. Its great to see the difference in quality between my gopro and your awesome camera!
@@TallianAdventuresseriously man, really appreciate it. The Berkwald knighting ceremony would have been missed all together without you. Thank you!
Amazing Video. Nicholas needs his own channel, such a chill guy. Love from germany ✌🏼
I've never been there, neither have i ever heard of it. Nonetheless, I'm just happy a place like this exists. Thanks for the upload.
They were fishing for archers 😂😂😂!

Is it okay to RP was a Warrior Priest of Sigmar from Warhammer Fantasy there ?
Yes. But eventually you’ll receive a Cease and Desist letter from GW
