Video

I got it in Honolulu many years ago.

Ok

@@TheTurnipOfTerror ok?

​@@josephgutierrez-tl9qtyeah.

Theoretically I don't see why not.

That is a very good suggestion.

Correct.

🤣

💯

That's funny. I haven't encountered that one in medieval, but it's a good one!

@@TheTurnipOfTerror just found the medieval tag lol but they did have rifles in medieval times i belive so yeah

@@Egg-ce2si depends on the era and the locale, but yeah three was some medieval black powder type stuff here and there.

Fair point. If I were to do this video again with what I've learned over the past three or so years of making content, it would include pictures or examples or both.

Hah! I like that one.

That's new! I've never heard they had no hammers.

Not the first time I've heard that. Had to Google who that was last time.

Most definitely!

A digital conference in this context is making a conference on site available online. Without venue, we cannot do digital conferences in this way, yet.

@@TheTurnipOfTerror thanks for the reply, I'm following along. Can't wait until this happens

I appreciate it. Luck is only part of it. We need your pledge on Kickstarter, and spread the word to get more eyes on the project.

What an amazing question. I actually have a bit of information already presented on the Kickstarter info page regarding conservation and working to cultivate natural, native plantlife. However, in the town itself, such as in the messuage of each cottage, we would seek to have flora which would be more appropriate to England and Northern Europe. With the border of natural conservation land I don't anticipate a negative impact in the local environment, no worse than lawns grass. In the fields of course there will be historical crops, and we can also (since we don't need to actually feed the town) keep certain consumables on hand such as reed and thatch. I'll do a follow up video. Great question!

I don't think it works that way 😆

@@TheTurnipOfTerror reminds me of the story of the Great Lemon Tree in Springfield 😂

Consistency is about the same, we sweeten most of our milks in a way they likely did not. However, in other recipes, such as barley water, it is in the recipe to add sugar to the cup before drinking, instead of sweetening the entire batch, so they may have sweetened it at the moment of drinking. Depending on the time period, sugar started to become available to every strata, depending on where you are.

Good point.

Except for Hy-Vee at the moment you can get Hy-Vee brand almond milk for $2.99 for a half gallon at my local Hy-Vee.

@@bradleyhoyt3188 that's still quite the price difference, though. Your plant milk is 40 or 50 cents cheaper than what I actually get. I tried oat milk from an expensive supplier. Had to rent the bottle and all, meaning they held onto your deposit until you brought it back. Tasted like strait up dirty oat water. I could make that at home if I chose to. Returned for full refund and bottle deposit back. It looked so white too... Like milk... All LIES!!!

@@tilasole3252 no, I'm not talking about oat milk I don't like oatmilk either I tried it, almond milk however is actually quite good, and of course you have the option of sweetened and non sweetened , I occasionally get the sweetened stuff as a treat, and honestly the reason I made the switch isn't because I'm some kind of crazy liberal advocating for alternate foods, I primarily did it for medical reasons. A few years ago I was unfortunately diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and I'm the type of guy who absolutely positively loves my milk I can't get enough of milk, and when I met with the dietitian and she was talking about what's recommended for my diet, she said I could only have one glass of milk a day or at least that's the recommended serving for a diabetic, and I said that's going to drive me crazy because I absolutely love milk, and then I asked her is there any way that I could cheat a little bit so I can still have as much milk as I want, and she recommended almond milk and if you find the right brand name, some of them actually do a pretty good job. Almond breeze is pretty good, and of course like I said the Hy-Vee brand they do pretty good too, as far as what you're describing I've never experienced anything like that.... And I'm very sorry that made you pay rent for a bottle that's ridiculous... But I will tell you this, ever since I started drinking almond milk the thing about that is it's high in magnesium, and products high in magnesium have typically been associated with weight loss. I am starting to notice as well as my family.

Don't even get me started on the weird bending-over-backward things the church did to avoid their own rules, from odd food classifications to indulgences and everything inbetween.

I could take or leave the taste of all three of them, but almond milk does serve a reenactment purpose.

@@TheTurnipOfTerror to be honest, the only soy milk I enjoy and really any plant milk, is Whole Foods Organic Unsweetened Soy Milk, which is about the only thing I buy from that store. Not that I have tried them all, but they are all more expensive and I simply have not enjoyed most that I have tried. I had to return one oat milk, because it literally tasted like oat water, with the supposed "milk" being $5 or $6 and the jar cost $5 or something to just to take it home, meaning they were loaning you the jar. I could make that at home, a lot cheaper and probably taste the same, meaning not good.

@@tilasole3252 I didn't realize they did the "borrow the jug" concept with oat milk, too. Shatto does that with cow milk.

I believe you.

Building codes are likely going to be a hurdle, which is why we've opened up talks with an historical architecture firm, who will be able to answer those questions in a way I don't have the expertise to. Medical response is definitely a concern. One of those behind the scenes notes I had was to ensure there was at least one "village green" which confirms to the 100' around best practice LZ expectations of a lifeflight helicopter. Likewise concealed med kits will be available throughout the village and there will be at least two "powered" zones where there will be concealed electricity, to include an AED.

@@TheTurnipOfTerror Considering that it's Kansas, you might also want to think about how to handle things with higher capacity shelters for storms like tornadoes. And considering the isolation, you might also want to consider finding an advisor for the medical side, and perhaps some on site medical staff

​@@AzraelThanatosbasements and storm shelters are a given in this area.

That's pretty cool that you have those things!

Yeah! I actually have made it a few times since, too, just because.

Thank you!

@@TheTurnipOfTerror no problem mate 💪

You're welcome.

Very much appreciated. I really try to go for that "sitting and having a chat" feel.

It's a blast!

Very cool!

@@TheTurnipOfTerror 100% you look historically accurate while stylish. You'd have to be rich to afford all that back in similar times

@@mpb6491 for sure. Thanks, I try to be dapper. My portrayal is of the lower gentry, so it sounds like I'm hitting the mark!

Sounds like a blast.

Interesting insight, thank you for sharing. I have far less experience with that style of sword, so I never made such a connection.

You make a good point. It's hard to make that decision to pivot, there's a lot of risk. But also reward!

@@TheTurnipOfTerror Well, potentially there is reward. But one might also run in a metaphorical cesspit eg by changing ones path at an unfortunate time. Or did you just mean, that, even when one does the wrong thing retrospectively, in many cases one has the chance to find happiness? Or did you maybe mean, the emotional weight one sheds by finally making hard decisions after procrastinating them for long?

​@@caspar_van_waldepredominantly the last. Even if it's a mistake, getting off the fence is liberating.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean?

Looks like inspector from the game Papers Please

​@@greysod5796oh, I see! I've never played that game, this is one of my medieval living history outfits. Is the inspector a good guy?

Good point !

@@TheTurnipOfTerror It has one of those as well.

@@PopulaUrbanum heheh.

Thank you! If you watch some of my older stuff I kind of bounced back and forth with being in medieval clothes vs. wearing civvies. I made a commitment a while back that a medieval channel catering to reenactors and all about medieval 'stuff' deserved a medieval aesthetics the whole way through... even when that can pose barriers to producing content at the speed the pros do. This comment really validates that decision. I am glad you appreciate it, and I appreciate you.

I hear ya.

Thank you!

That's an excellent strategy, thank you for sharing.

That's a good question. I may have to make a video about that specifically, as I've seen the discussion come up multiple times in forums/groups/discords.

@@TheTurnipOfTerror well it's easy to get layers of thick wooled garment for reenactment, but less so to get thin ones. For me... only the self made ones. If you dont play a peasant with a minimal number of layers, can be rather tricky.

Most people just strip to basic layers tunic, and pants or just dreses in lightweight linen. Natural fibers like linen absorb sweat and breathe. If you have light weight linen undies that helps too

@@ah5721 yes, but hard not to look like a half dressed peasant in those cases.

Thank you, that's a good point. I've learned a lot about making videos since we did this one and the subtle art of "b-roll" is one of those skills.

If that works for you.

​@@TheTurnipOfTerrorI think it's funny when two people describe completely different paths to the same state of mind...

@@justinbennett9998 there is never one true and only answer to any problem, I wholly support that. Everyone had to find what works for them best.

Ironically, this very video is the best response to your comment. Thank you for watching!

@@TheTurnipOfTerror Ironically, George Carlin's performance on soft language is the best response to your comment.

@@stasianatanasov6294 stay salty my friend.

​@TheTurnipOfTerror So much for being civil and not being "the big bad meanie". Bro deadass pulled the stay mad response 😂

@@stasianatanasov6294 as you said, not everything in life is pleasant and it feels like hurt when you hear the truth. I hear you, and accept that you appear committed to the very theme I advise against: not having to use tact by packaging it up as the ultimate ideal of honesty. I disagree with that philosophy, but I also am not under any illusion I'm going to convince anyone over text replies. So I accept you the way you are. Stay true to you.

I absolutely wanted to avoid being misconstrued as name calling others, but I 100% agree that while some do this unintentionally, bullies universally use "innocent bluntness" as a purity shield to hide behind.

You're welcome!
