@@ticklespark Im sooo excited to be here!! I will absolutely love to meet you in person this year!!! I would love to share a pitcher of cider with you if you like the cider!! Im with the Marchwardens so we are actually kind of neighbors!!! Are you guy part of Berkwald as well? We just immigrated last year and its been awesome.
@@TallianAdventures I LOVE the cider. Absolutely man, would love to meet you as well ☺ Oh no way! I would say I'm surprised we haven't met already, but it's Bico, so also not a surprise haha. Somewhat, yeah! We're a part of the Norse Coast right next to Niphelim (and their gorgeous new buildings) so we'll definitely have to meet up!
Hello Moth! I couldn't find you in person this year, but I wanted to thank you for making your Bico videos. Your first video was the actual 'thing' that finally pushed me to go the GB this year, and I had an unbelievable time. Thank you for bringing at least one person to Bico, and for making them hopelessly addicted 💘
Thanks for sharing these tips for newcomers! You were so kind last year to our little independent group/family just around the corner from your camp. Hoping we cross paths again this year though we will be in La Cité with the Covenant of the Black Rose.
It was great to see you again, Alicia. I’m glad you finally got something unpacked and on the walls. Only took a bit over a year. Lol This was an awesome introduction to the event. A small detail during editing. The captions you put up were great, but perhaps move them to the top left corner, make them a darker color against your bright wall, and set the duration for a second longer. I had trouble reading a couple of them because they ended too quickly. Other than that, you were perfect as usual. Possible ideas for another video, if you’re interested. Natural products that are 100% natural. Like if they do allow bathing in the river again, which I love, you can use Awapuhi pinecone ginger. It’s actually extremely healthy for hair. After cooking over a fire, you’ll get soot all over your pans. A simple solution is to grab a handful of old man’s beard moss, dunk it in water, then rub it in sand. It makes a perfect scouring pad to shine those pots and pans. I have hundreds of these suggestions from my years in scouts and my love for nature. Anyways, I hope this helped… oh wait I almost forgot! Insect repellent: 6 drops of vanilla extract to 8 ounces of water. It will wear off after about an hour so you have to reapply, but you’ll be the scent of the town if you do! They might talk about you too. 🤷🏻♂️ Have a great night
Hey now, I only filmed this back in April! ...but yes, it DID take me 4 months to edit the footage, so you've got me there. 😅 It's been a busy few months, to say the least. Thanks for the feedback! I considered that, but have built a sort of "colour aesthetic", and honestly was trying to stick to timing so attention to certain details I was saying out loud wouldn't be overtaken by what was written. By the time I'd gotten everything put together, I was just too tired to do another pass (3 non-stop days of editing will do that to you), and figured "hey, people can pause it if they really want". I took a peek once it was published and only then did I realize how quickly some of the captions came and went or how difficult they were to read so... yeah. Good mental note for the next time I edit a monster. Good next video idea! And thank you for your suggestions - I'm sure they'll be helpful to anyone reading the comments! I honestly didn't know about either, so good info for me too! (This is what I get for not being allowed to join Girl Scouts as a kid...) Thanks for watching and for your comments, my friend. Really appreciate you taking the time!
That's awesome, I wish you the absolute best of times! I'm sure you'll have a blast ☺ No, thank YOU! I'm glad this was somewhat helpful, and hope you make some magical memories!
Yep randomly found you last year because of your Bicolline video . Glad to see you’re doing well ! Enjoy it for those of us who can’t experience it . Hope all is going well in life !
Ah hello! Thank you so much! Life has been VERY busy (hence this video taking so long to come out... oof) but really great. Hopefully you'll have a chance to experience it someday though! Thanks for being here, dude.
I only found out about bico last year through another CZcamsr and I searched up as much as I could on the topic for weeks on end. I stumbled on your videos around that time and really enjoyed them I look forward to seeing updates and have subbed to your channel now. Unfortunately I don't think I will ever have the money to go to this event as I'm from Australia and just in flights alone are hell expensive anyway hope you enjoy yourself and I will await any videos you make on it.
Well hello my friend! I really appreciate your kind words - it means a lot you've enjoyed the videos. Hopefully I can keep bringing you some joy in the future! As it comes to Bico, I definitely understand. I'm not sure if there are any LARP spaces in Australia, as I'm more familiar with Europe and the number of really cool ones looking there, but funds are definitely a big problem for people wanting to get into such things, even if you're right around the corner. I definitely didn't know how expensive this hobby is, and that's a big consideration. WIshing you all the best for future LARP endeavours, and I hope you get a chance to come out, to Bico or otherwise!
Fastest 40 min vid I've watched XD ! You are super interesting. Can't belive I live in the province and I've never been to BIco. I even know a couple of people that were regulars there, shame on me 😅
What a compliment! Thank you so much, my friend, that means a lot. Well, hopefully you get a chance to make it out! There are 3 and 1-day tickets if you want to just get a taste - my understanding is they're still for sale, so if you have the time, I'd definitely recommend checking it out! If not, there's always next year 😋
I'm glad you're back with a new Video! Just one little thing: It would be great if you found a way to filter out the white noise for your next Video 😁 Or maybe get one of those little mics that you can pin somewhere on your clothes? Otherwise great video - even if I will probably never attend Bicolline since I live in Germany 😅
As am I, my friend! Good feedback for next time - I don't think I remembered to hook up my boom mic for this, but admittedly I didn't really hear the white noise when I was editing in order to do something about it before I chopped the footage up into tiny bits. Unfortunately LAV mics aren't really my thing, and are not in my budget, but will definitely keep the white noise in mind for future! You never know, there are a couple in my guild who have come from Germany for many years! 😜 But really, there are so many super cool LARPs in Europe, I'm sure there are wonderful places you can find closer to home in Bico's stead!
I just posted a very similar video, although it was in production before you had posted yours! Love the content, and I unaware that your in-game name was Moth until just now. Moth Bico CZcamsrs unite I guess? Haha, loved the video! We should connect at Bico this year!
@@the.mothsmith a friend of mine actually just shared yours with me, and I absolutely loved it! You did a great job, subscribed instantly ☺️ haha yeah mine took quite a while to get around to editing. Moths unite indeed! I’d absolutely love to connect this year!
@@ticklespark aaa thanks! I linked your video in my description! I hope yours reaches more people too! I love how much of your video was personal experience and storytelling, that's something I wasn't really able to achieve in mine!
@@the.mothsmith oh my goodness, you're so kind thank you! Honestly, I absolutely loved how concise yours was - super clear recommendations that were easy to digest. Also, you'll have so many opportunities to talk about the experiences in other videos ☺ Will this be your first year at Bico?
@@ticklespark it'll be my second GB! I've been two two BPs. I didn't have any bico footage of my own (just photos), so I was lucky enough to borrow Tallian's footage as well as Karl's (Larp Legion)!
@@the.mothsmith oh my goodness, and I picked up on that watching your video - you have a clip in your video with my boyfriend and friend 🤦♀ absolutely, they're awesome! that's awesome though, we've been going for the same amount of time! It would be awesome to meet and hang out this year :)
also fyi i just learned that there is a shower truck near the bathrooms by oldtown. It is supposed to not have a time limit and you can pay with debit or cash.
I actually just learned about that location as well! Too late, of course, but anyway - I think they may be new? What I didn't know was that they had no time limit.... and that is awesome news. Could be bad news bears with how many attendees, but a great thing for me to check out this year! Thanks man!
@@codycenters3391 SAME so no worries!! I was only asking so i could tell you the english guilds!! I go with tvn but I dont recommend them in any of my videos since they dont pay me. one of my favorite guilds is The Covenant of the Black Rose. they are all english speakers and do a great job! If you go by their camp or meat them tell them Tallian sent you and you will be treated like family!! The bastard sons are really great too! They have a lot of english\french speakers who live in montreal so they are very knowlegable about the game plus have a good amount of players who go to all the campaign events outside of the GB!! I make bico videos on my channel as welll incase you didint know.
@codycenters3391 first off, I think it's awesome you're going solo. I hope you have the best time! Not sure where you're coming from, but may your travels be safe! Tallian has some great suggestions! Black Rose are all incredible people, as are the Bastard Sons. I have personally joined the Oathsworn (one of the only English "viking" guilds - they're all super kind, but don't expect you to wear strictly Viking so definitely come find us in the Norse Coast close to the barracks & field/non-decorum). Beyond those two, I know also of The Pelt who seem super cool. I also got a chance to meet the Horse and Hound last year who are a BLAST to hang out with. Beyond that, I know there are lots of other english-speaking or bilingual guilds, I just still haven't gotten the chance to meet them yet! After the event if you've met some more awesome people, please do come back here and let us all know of any other groups you'd suggest meeting! And of course, have an AMAZING first Bico.
I have a video that i have been struggling with! Im on a quest in my full armor and im on guard but i dont know when, where or who will attack us. In the video i tell several people to keep there distance and i look like im being so rude!!!! I was super in character and immersed but it looks like im being rude to someone who does know!! I will have to make a note in my video about being in character!!
Oh no! Hopefully people were able to realize what was happening, but I understand how that may feel looking back. That's the thing at LARPs, you can't really know - both who's in-character unless you're super familiar with the participants from going for many years, or who's new and may be completely blindsided by what an in-character person is doing. At the end of the day, as long as you're having fun and not being an absolute dick to people on purpose, any misunderstandings like that will eventually fade to nothing more than funny stories!
Im soo happy you made another Bico Video!!!! Great video!
Thanks so much man! I'm super stoked to have you here, and hopefully we'll get a chance to meet in-person this year??
