How common is life insurance? It has always struck me as something very American, never really heard anything about it here in Europe. Apart from the existence of it naturally
as a fellow experimental archaeologist (flintknapping mostly) i would like to point out that stone tools were utilized well into the iron age for various reasons but the thing i noticed is Lauren struggling to cut the linen and later you struggling to cut the leather with the bronze tools a stone flake could have been used to produce a finer cut look into a stone tool called a hoko knife.
This is a great point. Just because they're in the "bronze age" doesn't mean prior tools or variations thereof are not relevant. Even today, obsidian scalpels do have their uses in modern medicine. Steel is more common, cheaper and more durable, but there's definitely a market for obsidian scalpels when super fine precision is desired. The difference between a modern steel scalpel and obsidian are on the microscopic scale in terms of precision; but when you're talking about the bronze age it's a huge difference in the sharpness/precision of Bronze and flint/obsidian. Use the best tool for the job, even if the best tool for the job isn't "modern". I also like to point at Primitive Technology as a part of this. Although he's covered more historically modern methods of fire making, he usually doesn't bother using a fire bow or drill. Making a fire using his hands suits him fine in his use cases when he needs to get an ember going.
Another good vid! As a person who moves furniture for a living, i nearly clawed my eyes and ears out at 9:19 when she literally slid that heavy rock across that hardwood floor..wow

Gambesons were very comman as armor coz they were far far far cheaper to make than mail or plate and it was lighter and could been worn as coats and stuff like that. It's decent at protecting against cuts but bad at protecting from stabbing
@@futhark_9547 I wouldn't exactly call layers of linen glued together a 'gambeson'. The concept is similar, but executed differently. Personally, I find the linothorax the more interesting type of armor. It's like a bridge between soft and solid armor.
yeah, that was incredibly disturbing to see, especially as a vegetarian of 17 years. but i am glad that parts of the animals that would have otherwise gone to waste, are being used. it makes me feel a lot better that nothing is going to waste, and the slaughter of those animals would have happened regardless.
Thomas S. uhhhh.... that might have worked??? idk?? think you can only get away with that in the congo tho. but yeah, if they died of natural causes, then that certainly would have been even more environmentally sustainable. i guess it depends on how sentimental you are over your own body. idc what happens to mine after i'm no longer living in it. make leather if you want. not like i'm gonna care if i'm dead already. i am also an organ donor. when i'm done with this body, it'll just be water, carbon, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorous, and a couple trace elements. but some people's superstitions def make them uncomfortable about it in many places. i mean, mummies are a pretty good example. wonder if they still would have used the mummification process if they knew they'd be sitting in a glass box in a museum, and spectators come from around the world to see how old you've gotten.
I love Andy's dialogue after wearing the armor: "I feel very moisturized." These observations, including the difficulties in the cutting, piercing, sewing of this armor, and the remarks about how it is the nature of armor to resist being cut and pierced, really bring home the cost of these ancient technologies and how much we take modern tech like tool steel and sewing machines (and all that they entail) for granted.

Kate is the obvious choice IMO, she fits perfectly and actually showed what can be done instead of the end result looking like a 12 year olds first try. And she's really good at talking to the camera, making it both very informative, light hearted and nice. I feel Lauren was just all over the place, the way her part was edited also didn't work very well. Nothing against her, just doesn't fit this channel in both style and educational aim.
I felt kate sounded too serious and didnt have a hint of interest in what she was doing, lauren on the other hand actually felt engaging and kept my attention, wasnt boring one bit.
I love Lauren! She brings so much fun to the show with her personality and humor. She clearly is also a hard worker and did a great job with her projects. Total delight to watch and Winky rules.
This may have a great effect on your projected costs: Linen is processed into 2 grades from the point between the retting and the spinning. The finer and longer fibers go to making a spin linen thread, but the shorter course fibers are still finish spun (often by the children or younger apprentices) into a product called Tow. Tow is a strong material from which courser cloth is made, and also ropes and cordages. This is where the modern use of the word Tow drives from, as in Tow Truck. A product produced with the bulk of the fabric used being made from 2nd grade materials like Tow and faced atop with finer Linen is more likely than, and less expensive than, one made from all the finest cloth available.
Lauren makes this show even more fun to watch. I like that everybody in this channel is really the opposite of experts, showing the real difficulty of any of these projects, and do not make things seem like a breeze. And just like Andy, she handles that brilliantly and with a lot of humor :-)
fabulous to watch the weaving, I'm in the UK and go metal detecting and we often find lead spindle whorls which are the same as those clay loom weights. The whorls we find would be from medieval times though. excellent video
I love how Lauren started out spreading out the pig fat with gloves on, but on the second layer she was just like “you know what, screw it” and takes the gloves off.
I have read that flax grows best in undesired or rough soil. So quite often it was the first crop pioneers planted while they were clearing their of trees, stumps, rocks, etc. Once the flax matured and was harvested, they had cleared fields to plant their other crops.
Ok the commitment the people of HTME is amazing like I’m pretty sure these are the only people who complete their New Years resolutions (without changing them XD)
You can ask local hunters (or the people offering deer butchering services) for their hides. You can get all the raw deer hides you can ask for - especially if you don't mind doing the fleshing (removing the fat etc.). The deer was killed for its meat and the hide is normally thrown away so it's a win-win.
for weaving you should try and recreate that video of a woven basket that can hold water. the tighter the weave of reed or material the more water tight the basket, so it would be interesting to see who could make the largest water tight woven recepticle (because im not expecting anything bigger than a small bowl or cup). i'm referring to a video i saw on reddit where a woven basket was filled with 3 buckets full of water and retained it all without dripping, which really isn't that important but to be honest there is a lot to be learned about videos in rural countries that rely on skill of a master manufacturer rather than a cheap mass produced product that might fail.
You're dead wrong John. Firstly it's been frozen and then cooked so it is thoroughly sterilised. Second, a waxy lipid like lard acts as an occlusive barrier against foreign pathogens so smearing heat treated animal fat into a wound before bandaging it would likely give you a lot of added protection from infection compared to a bandage alone. There aren't any pathogens I know of that can thrive in oil.
@@HavokTheorem The question I would have in this is; I am not aware of lard being UV curable the way Linseed Oil is so why is it used? The linen (the plant that produces the flax seed that the linseed oil is then crushed from) would stabilize hard in sunlight over time when layered with linseed oils.
I remember seeing a video lecture on this topic. The hypothesis on part of the reason that this armor was so available is that it was preferable to use lower grade linnen made from thicker, more poorly made thread like sack cloth. In tests this supposedly grants more protection because the individual threads are thicker and harder to cut through. This was also not only easier to make but was commonly made in large quantities for other purposes so making the armor out of it was practically a form of recycling.
We're going to miss Annalise, but I'm glad she's moved onto doing something that's more right for her! It seems like Lauren is going to bring a lot of energy and personality to the channel, so I'm looking forward to seeing more from her.
so, suggestion on a more satisfying (to the viewer) way of sourcing leather would be to go hunting with someone in Minnesota, odds are the person you'd go hunting with wants the meat, and maybe the head, meaning you can take everything else to use in future projects. ensuring full use.
I made a Linothorax for SCA heavy combat. It was amazingly effective. I used cheap canvas from the hardware store (it was advertised as painters drop cloth) and I glued it with super 77 spray glue. Sewed all the edges together with a heavy duty sewing machine. I was going to use it as a Gambeson under Lamellar. But honestly. It was so effective I didn't need the lamellar.
I'm always slightly impressed whenever a UA-camr has a sponsor I haven't seen before. St this point seeing anything other than raid shadow legends and Nord VPN is a breath of fresh air
For those interested in more about a weighted warp loom there is a fairly small channel by Sally Pointer, she's been making some videos going in depth on making and using a traditional weighted warp loom, I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else is interested in the process
making armor from many layers of cloth does technically take more time than using bronze, but you can have hundreds of people working on making the materials and get a team of armorers to assemble it. with bronze, it's much harder to work with unless you are a craftsman, so it's more expensive. think of the difference between what an everyman could do in that society vs what specialty roles there were. with the Romans, women would make textiles while watching the house (Penelope from the odyssey) while bronzesmiths were expensive to teach, and due to sexism, were men. not to mention, textile material and animal fat were cheap while bronze was heavily expensive due to relative scarcity. just a little history for all who wondered why it would be cheaper instead of bronze chest plates.
Ya. Of course it would take a single person 700 hours to make it. This is something an entire team would chip in to create, like a mail hauberk, except with flax. Its easy to see that if you split 700 between 10 people you could probably produce a few of these every month. Not to mention that they were probably not used very often compared to other items, so once you produced one you could probably use it for a long time. Wish he would mention that it was a team enterprise in the video.
The Spanish Inquisition well with the way his channel works he looks at the production and tries replicate it with the limit Human Resources and tools he has earned. So to him it seems inefficient use of time when in reality back then they could’ve had some sort of production set up to mitigate the cost.
Good job my guy, you have the motivation of a god to do all this. This is super inspiring for me to actually get up and do stuff with plants, bees and Geology. Thanks my guy keep up the good work
Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you not supposed to rotate a certain portion of the linen sheets 90° (i think it's like 1/4-1/5), which is part of what gives fabric armour it's resiatance as the weaves pull in different directions? I've definitely seen this in european medieval gambeson making, not sure if it would have been realised in the bronze age, though.

I'm always slightly impressed whenever a UA-camr has a sponsor I haven't seen before. St this point seeing anything other than raid shadow legends and Nord VPN is a breath of fresh air
it's a good thing you have people who can actually make the stuff... you'll get better at making things eventually.

Yeah, maybe it was like... In the paleolitic!
I think the more important question is which cat you should hire, Pluto or Winky?

For those interested in more about a weighted warp loom there is a fairly small channel by Sally Pointer, she's been making some videos going in depth on making and using a traditional weighted warp loom, I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else is interested in the process
making armor from many layers of cloth does technically take more time than using bronze, but you can have hundreds of people working on making the materials and get a team of armorers to assemble it. with bronze, it's much harder to work with unless you are a craftsman, so it's more expensive. think of the difference between what an everyman could do in that society vs what specialty roles there were. with the Romans, women would make textiles while watching the house (Penelope from the odyssey) while bronzesmiths were expensive to teach, and due to sexism, were men. not to mention, textile material and animal fat were cheap while bronze was heavily expensive due to relative scarcity.
just a little history for all who wondered why it would be cheaper instead of bronze chest plates.
Not to mention most people were farmers anyways.
Ya. Of course it would take a single person 700 hours to make it. This is something an entire team would chip in to create, like a mail hauberk, except with flax. Its easy to see that if you split 700 between 10 people you could probably produce a few of these every month. Not to mention that they were probably not used very often compared to other items, so once you produced one you could probably use it for a long time. Wish he would mention that it was a team enterprise in the video.
The Spanish Inquisition well with the way his channel works he looks at the production and tries replicate it with the limit Human Resources and tools he has earned. So to him it seems inefficient use of time when in reality back then they could’ve had some sort of production set up to mitigate the cost.

Good job my guy, you have the motivation of a god to do all this. This is super inspiring for me to actually get up and do stuff with plants, bees and Geology. Thanks my guy keep up the good work
Was "do you have a cat" one of the requirements for the job?
How did you turn the fax into thread?
Was there a step missing here?
When he said modern technology was going to be tested against the armor I thought of the meme with the knight and gun saying parry this casual
I don't think much of the lard idea. Linseed oil on the other hand does set up and works a heck of a lot better. Hide glue also works. You be you.
Next episode: I rebuilt the Roman Empire using only my hands!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you not supposed to rotate a certain portion of the linen sheets 90° (i think it's like 1/4-1/5), which is part of what gives fabric armour it's resiatance as the weaves pull in different directions?
I've definitely seen this in european medieval gambeson making, not sure if it would have been realised in the bronze age, though.

Your female helper with the tattoos is very nice to listen too. She smiles all the time and looks like fun to be with. She is very attractive too.

This episode just reminds me about how I want to try making my own loom some day.
Life insurance is a good idea when you start making bombs and guns
Any UA-cam channel or reddit community showing how to do that ?? Asking for a friend
awesome video! It really helped me grasp the loom better, and these girls were Great!
