    I absolutely love this. You're not just watching and talking over footage, you're actually there wearing the armour and experiencing the life. This is the kinda thing more of these historical life documentaries should be, actually experiencing what they're talking about as close as we're able to approximate.

      Funny enough, during my conscription service the sentry duty for the division's fuel storage facility was the most sought after, cuz it was located a few kilometres away from our base, and it was basically a day off from a drill, even with only a 4 hours of sleep, divided in 2 parts. It was awesome even with high command checking 1 or 2 times for the whole duty (especially after a group of soldiers from my platoon almost got caught with booze)

    @Papadragon18 4 місяці тому +19

    Bit late to the party, but loving these videos. It's obvious that both the host sits on a lot of general knowledge of things commonly misrepresented, but also that the people they approach - reenactment groups who've been nerding these topics for, probably several years - are treated with so much respect and deference in their specialised knowledge. Pros and cons are adressed in a nuanced way, while there is at the same time no hesitation to poke fun at actual historical idiosyncracies. None of the over-dramatisation that we so often see.
    Loving the guy acting the Centurion of the reenactment team as well. Both knowledgeable and very fun. Lots of respect for the entire Roman Military Research Society.
    Cheers.

    I live quite close to a Roman Fort in Scotland. I often wonder about the lives of the men therein. There is also evidence of a Vicus, I read, and so there grew a community in a short time because it wasn't here long according to Tacitus. However it is high and dry on a platform above the confluence of the Tay and and Almond and may have guarded a bridge. Who knows?

    Amazing video on this topic! This could even expand throughout the late Roman Empire and the surviving Eastern Roman Empire in 1453 AD. The Roman Empire was powerful, pre-eminent, eternal, and universal in its time; but the very base and foundation of the Eternal City and it's power was built on the Roman ability to, first and foremost, survive insurmountable odds repeatedly and adapt successful techniques and technologies from their adversaries, and then perfect said techniques and technology for their own use against their foes until they submit to Roman grit and steel. The entire Roman history is perfect for this "Surviving History" series.
    But most importantly, as a lover of history, this channel and its administrators are doing what modern-day, gigantic history media outlets are failing to do: bring history to life for the viewers, give great entertainment, and most of all, give accurate information on the topic(s) covered. Keep up the great work, this will definitely be a hit series on the internet! ❤️🔥

    51 years ago in the U.S. 8th Army in Seoul, we were in old barracks that the Japanese used before us. The showers were open areas. The toilets had side walls but no doors. All the paper for all toilets were on one metal locked pole so no one could steal the rolls. You tore off the amount of paper you thought you would use or you would partially pull up your pants and waddle over to the paper pole and waddle back. Fun times!

    I would love to see something like this done for the Anglo-Saxon period (specifically after the reforms of Alfred the Great and his successors (I.E. the ''Burh'' system)). I think it would be amazing to have numerous forts around the country from different time periods so we could explore the various styles and defensive theories of the various peoples who settled on this island throughout different periods.

    What a great video, reminds me of the History channel from my youth. Really informative, can't wait to see more and hopefully we can revisit this Fort when it has the HQ built.

    Imagine being a knight, the current year is 1562. You just surpassed your squire days and became a knight, you have bought all your gear and heraldry. You hear word that your kingdom will lay siege 2 days in the future, your train, prepare, pray, and are sent off north. As you are preparing, staring at the enemies across you, next to your brothers on arms. Your Commander in Battle says the infamous 6 letter word “Charge” and you run to the person you were death staring from 2 miles away. Your lines and brothers clash with the opposing kingdom, all you hear is screaming and swords clashing and men crying in pain. And next thing you know there’s a Knight 5 feet away from you raising his sword to slice you up. You get lucky and manage to get some lucky hits, and you’re saved by your vanguard buddy. You tip your hat to him and look at the carcasses of the knight he had just slain, you remember he had parents, a life, and a happy family. You decide to shake that off your shoulders and fight the next person you see, you have morale because your anger from you wounds. But unfortunately that’s the last choice you ever got to make, next thing you know. Your body is seen decapitated, scratched, bruised, pale, and that was his first siege. Moral of the story: Most knights and more didn’t even have more than 1 or 2 battles, that’s the brutality of medieval warfare.

      Warfare in general. Anyone involved (save for commanders mostly) is at risk.
