  This tool? That’s for storing oatmeal. This tool? Handy for eating my oatmeal. I use this one to make my oatmeal, and this one to put my oatmeal in. This one is also for oatmeal.

  I love how about 70% of the kit revolves around porridge, 10% whiskey, rest other. As Scottish as you can get.

  When Billy Connolly visited Canada for his documentary, years ago, he said there is no such thing as bad weather, but, as the Scots say, &quot;only the wrong clothes.&quot;

  There’s something neat about how a lot of old cultures would have a specialized knife which they put huge traditional significance on. The Scottish have that dirk, the Samurai had the Tanto, the Gurkhas have the Kukri, and so on. I’m of Apache ancestry and they put cultural significance on the axes they carried. My grandfather has dozens of Tomahawks hanging on his wall. <br><br>I’m not sure what it is, but I’m deeply fascinated by the specialized tools and weapons of old cultures. Seeing that dirk gave me that same fascination. Great video!

  You’re also well-prepared to escort Mr. Frodo to Mount Doom, aye?<br><br>Strange how in a few generations we forget the wisdom &amp; work of thousands of years needed to survive.

  I am a keen hill walker and grew up in the Pennines of East Lancashire. So I have owned many different Jackets made from modern materials. A friend gave me a shooting jacket made from 100% tweed. It is more breathable and waterproof than modern goretex . New they cost just over £500. It is difficult to wash but I have never had to. You just wait for it to dry out and brush the dirt off with your hand. I thoroughly recommend 100% Scottish tweed .

  I love this idea. After my grandad died I got a lot of his personal items including his shoebox full of wallets, several pocket knives, his pocket combs and an assortment of other daily use items. I went down my own little rabbit hole of piecing together the rest of what he would have worn and carried daily growing up in the 1930s. I can now costume myself in period correct clothing and personal items of a 1930s farmer’s son. I even have 2 sets of his one strap overalls his grandmother had sewn together for him. It’s fascinating to go back 85 years, never mind centuries. Well done.
