A Walk Through Bicolline 2023
Вставка

- This is a video of a short walk I took at an event in Quebec Canada called The Duche Of Bicolline. This event is a week long and is also known as The Grand Battle of Bicolline. Bicolline is set on over 350 acres of forested land. It has multiple little towns with over 250 permanent medieval style buildings. In this video I walk from what is called the Troll ball field that is located on the outskirts of Lowtown.(used to be know as oldtown) From there I walk through middletown and out to the edge of the Battle Plains where my Guild Camp is located at. My Guild is named The March Wardens and my Bicolline name is Tallian! Thank you for watching! If you enjoy this video I have other videos from this event on my channel. If you have any questions about any of this please do not hesitate to ask me in the comments!!

It's so charming. It's like a real life fantasy version of Westworld
Right! It's so huge that I find new building that I have never seen before every year! Plus they are continuously building new stuff!
Thank you for sharing. The fact that they have 250+ actual buildings on the grounds, and how big the area is. it's just mind blowing. It's heartwarming to see this level of effort and detail put into a medieval fantasy world.
The detail and the people really do add a different level of immersion than I have gotten anywhere.
the fact that a place like this even exits and is self standing, and completely respected by guests and staff, is the ultimate outside experience with completely reasonable set of rules and plenty activities to enroll in. its almost to good to be true
the environment surrounding the area is also amazing!!! really beautiful scenery
I couldn't have said it better! It truly is a magical place!
I bet Bico is gorgeous in October. Quebec always has such beautiful fall colours.
I am hoping to do one of the fall campaigns this year and will make a video on it!! Ill bet it is going to be so gorgeous!!!
I wanna go so bad!!
LOL spotted ourselves walking past two and a half minutes in
i want to go there so bad
@@Smoses_senpai it's very possible!! You can make it happen!
I would like to be there one day and enjoy ... It's just relaxing to watching the video
O, it look very cool! I want to believe that someday I will be able to come and play!
Me too! It will be an amazing experience for you! I have gone 4 times now and I am still finding and learning new things about it!!!!!
Watching your videos has been an eye opening experience. I came into it with a completely different mindset, with entirely incorrect assumptions about what was going on there. In all honesty it's kind of sad, because as much as I have become hooked, I can't help but to think of everything it would take to get there. Just the thought of trying to check my armor, how many suitcases would it take, how much would that cost? The cost of tickets, lodging, transportation, food?! I feel like it would be easier to just buy 300 acres and make my own fantasy kingdom at home lol.
Either way, I love your content and I appreciate the great effort that you put forth to bring it to us.
Thank you! Im happy you are loving the content and I am actually very happy that It has been able to give you a better grasp on what a trip like this takes!! I do want you to know that you dont have to have armor or even a different outfit for every day! I sometimes were the same pants for 3 days lol and shirts can be mixed in and out with other things. If you dont mind me asking what you general location is? I have flown and it took me two large bags, a carry on and a backpack to carry just about eveything i need. one bag was for my armor and the others are for everything else. It cost me 30 for the first bag and 70 for the other. as long as they are 50 pounds and below. As far as far as the logistics goes there are different guilds that do smaller and cheaper packages but I use The Voyage North. They have been a little on the expensive side but i get a private tent and that adds a lot more. TVN handles the bus ride to and from the event from the airport. You get a guild tabard, a medieval style large tent with a cot. you can get bedding for a charge. It also comes with a food card that gets you a huge breakfast and dinner. I almost never eat a lunch there. I know it can seem like a huge undertaking but its all about one step at a time! I would love to help you with any advice that i can so dont hesitate to ask!!
@@TallianAdventures I live in Oregon.
Ah! A marchwarden! I was Nova Vitae for year 1 of Hynafol but it dissolved. :(
Huzzah! You I had heard that the Marchwardens were the only Bico guild left at Hynafol! Will you be going to the GB this year?
This looks like an amazing time!
Its litterally the best week of my year every year!!!! Have you watched any of the battle videos I have on my channel?
@@TallianAdventures WHEN'S THE SATURDAY BATTLE COMING???
@robinst-pierre9600 lol soon! I am self employed and am very busy right now so I haven't had a ton of free time. It won't be to long but I don't know the exact time!
@@TallianAdventures HE'S AN ENEMY OF KAFE. GET HIM!!!
@robinst-pierre9600 (tries jedi mind trick) I am not the Tallian you are looking for...
This is mind blowing. Thanks for sharing this fantastic moment in time!
Thank you and you are welcome!!!!
Absolutely Amazing.
Thank you!!
Oh how I miss this place! Only 9 more months!
Can't wait!!!! Oh the bico blues have been bad this year!
Just signed up to go because of your videos! Looking forward to seeing you out there!
Awesome!! That is one reason i wanted to make these videos!! So thank you for bringing that full circle! Do you know what guild you wanna be in?? Who did you sign up through? If it was The Voyage North you should tell them I sent you!
@TallianAdventures I already put you down as the reason! They even name dropped you in the phone interview. Haven't decided on the yet on the guild
You are awesome!!! Thanks for that! Haha i would love to hear what they say!! All of the guilds are great but my guild is The March Wardens and they are amazing you you cant make up your mind!!@@frenchfrieguy9370
My husband and I would love to partake in this event. Truly seems like an adventure. I find it strange upon doing research on trying to attend it became very "secretive". It seemed it was our easiest option to use a third party vendor to set us up with a guild and tent, etc since we are noobs and do not know what we are doing. However, the price was way too high for our budget. I wish I could find more information on lodging options. I was told there was no lodging in the buildings.... specifically a bedroom with a fullsize bed and a door.....so 250 buildings and I can't get a bedroom to share with my husband and us two only? Weird. Id be willing to bring our tent even. But then I heard it's almost impossible to find a guild to join... so it was a bit disappointing to say the least.
@whitneyryshae I completely understand where you are coming from. Just so you are aware you literally can camp in a non decorum location were you bring your own modern tent find a place and set up camp! To get more info you can go to bicolline.org. there is all kinds of info you can get from there. You absolutely do not need to join a guild and it is recommended that you come your first year without a guild and try to find a good fit for you and your family. As far as your comment on not being able to find a building out of all of them to stay in. The vast majority of all the building are privately owned by individuals who have purchased land and payed to build those building. Most of them use them for their own friends and family and don't rent them out.
Where did you hear it's impossible to find a guild? That's not at all true
I hope to make it to Bicolline someday. It honestly looks like a load of fun.
Hopefully I will see you there one day! It took me a few years after I discovered it for me to get everything together and save a good amount of money. Thank you for watching!!
A lot of LARPs in Europe and the US have more people, but I can assure you :
they all dream of being just like Bico when they grow up.
What a great way to put that! Bico is like the good role model older brother of larp places lol!
Nice, in the video :)
Nice!!
We see alot of differences between monday and and the rest of the week.
This was a day so calm compared! xD
Right! And ever more wet lol!
Let’s see you do this in January
The snow would be to deep in that area most likely. I am planning to do a smaller battle and tavern night in November so the temp should be similar.
Thanks for the great content. These have pretty much convinced me to go. Around 5:30, what are the areas you are looking down into? It's so pretty!
Perfect! That's one of the reasons I wanted to make these videos. Hopefully we will meet. From what I have been told is these are mostly viking guilds down there but I really have never been there yet! Bico is so big it can be an amazing place to explore.
that's low town, it has taken damages since the last campaign. still looks the same but the bridges are gone.
@@rintheous3386 that’s too bad! What happened?
@@rintheous3386 Is Old town called low town now to? That's what I heard last year but never could tell if it was true or not.
serious rain fall led to the river overflowing and destroying them, I believe they have already been fixed.
I will not miss it this year!
Hell yeah!!! Do you know what guild you want to go with???
@@TallianAdventures I don't think I will be joining a guild just yet
@@tom-was Good for you!!! will you be renting from Bico or just waiting to join a guild till later?
not renting, will bring my own tent
@@tom-was Thats cool! Do you have a canvas style tent or will you be camping in non-decorum camping?
How did you get to video your experience? Me and a group of friends want to video and take pictures but we are looking for a way to hide the cameras and phones (without the hollowed out book trick)
I personally do not use a phone to take photos or pictures. It's very hard to hide and it can look unnatural (like people do when they do the hollow book). I use a go pro. It's small enough that I can hold it in my hand or have it hidden easier. I turn off all the lights such as the red light and both front and back screens. I also turn off the beeps. On the battlefield I have all black armor and the gopro kinda blends into my helmet when I have it attached.
do you have to join a guild are can you play by yourself?
Thats actually a great question that i do not know a lot about! I wouldnt recommend not having guild unless you really dont want to! However there is a whole area called non-decorum camping where its all non medieval style tents were people with no guild can camp. They also have Bicolline Official tents that you can rent without being in a guild! Hope this helps answer some of your question!
Why was the hill so much steeper in person than on video 😂😭
Right! I think I'm going to just run up hills in preparation for next year lol! Are you coming back next year!!
How much was it ?
3 dabloons
That's a bit of a hard question to answer! I use the Voyage North travel package and that is a bit more expensive than going with a different guild or by yourself. Unless you have larp clothes and stuff it can be expensive to buy all of that stuff. I also drive up instead of flying so that helps to. Just the travel package was around 1200. It comes with transportation to and from the airport to event. A medieval tent and modern cot. Breakfast and Dinner every day(amazing food) and an English speaking group of possible friends! Let me know if you have more questions!
What did you record on?
I recorded on a qopro 11
Where is that ?
@maidung1825 This is a magical and deep place called Bicolline! It a medieval fantasy festival/ war game that is held up north of Montreal in Quebec Canada!
@@TallianAdventures thank you !
@maidung1825 you are welcome! Thanks for watching! If yoy ever have the urge to go to bico I can help point you in the right direction!
@@TallianAdventures I will definitely go when i can ! That seems like a perfect place for an artist like me.
Good evening! I love the channel and videos you create. I was wondering if you'd by chance have a buisness email?
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it! I do have an email, It is Lerchy890@yahoo.com. If you would, put Bicolline in the the title. That will help me see your email easier.
@@TallianAdventures Just sent it! Thank you so much!
