“Building a flint and steel fire during a medieval bushcraft outing. Flint and steel were used for fire-starting in many parts of the world, from the iron-age, through the middle ages and into today. It stands to reason that a woodsman would carry these implements when traveling in the wilderness. Watch my first (and second) attempt ever at starting a fire with this method.”

“What might a medieval traveler have carried with them? Whether camping in the wilderness, traveling for a military campaign, or on a pilgrimage, it might have been a good idea to carry a few rations. In addition to goat cheese, oats, and water, the foods discussed here comfortably sustained me for a weekend outing.”

“A person from the middle ages probably didn't go "bushcrafting" for the fun of it, but the axe and dagger are essential tools for working, building, and simply living like a medieval person might have.”

“Establishing shelter can be the most important aspect of wilderness survival in certain situations. This experimental bedroll system is relatively modern, but made from materials a medieval person could have had. It's probably a bit too bulky for practical use and geared more towards our modern desires for comfort, but let me show you what I've done!”

“Medieval clothing was a mix of practicality and fashion. It kept workers comfortable and protected and allowed nobility to show off their wealth. Garb is clothing made in a historical way and with historical materials. It's the first step in experiencing the world like our ancestors might have. My garb and impression are continually evolving, but here's what I wore for this particular early fall hiking and camping outing.”
