@AndersWatches Best way is to go to an event in your area and talk to the people there to see if their goals align with yours. If not, they can likely point you to other groups. There are some very large and organised societies (like the ECWS) that have a fixed calendar of big public events, but also some loose groups of living historians that meet up a few times a year at historical sites, even without public. Living history and reenactment are a spectrum. Think about what activities you want to do (military/cooking/crafts...), how much time/money you want to spend to be as 'historically accurate' as possible, how much public interaction you prefer, and how far you are willing to travel for events. It takes a bit of research and talking to people to find a match for what you want to put in and get out of the hobby.

@Rachel-fi4sc

10 ай бұрын

It also can be good to start with your local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). There are some living history groups that are really strict on historical accuracy, but the SCA tends to be the most relaxed in terms of garb rules and all that, so you don't have to show up totally 100% perfectly authentically historically accurate right out the gates. You'll meet people to help you get your kit together and teach you new skills and everything.

There is a reason why many cultures have something like a summer kitchen. The swankiest versions are basically little shacks with no walls and a roof to keep out sun and rain, the most basic ones are a fireplace outside, ideally with some shade, benches and a table.

Hello! I'm from Eastern Europe. Your video's are so amazing! I definitely remembered how I visited my grandmother in the village as a child.

I remember my exactly same emotions as yours when she taught me how to separate the yolks from the whites and prepare different dishes from what she had grown with her own hands. I ran to my neighbor for fresh milk and we made homemade cheese. Of course we had a gas stove, not opened fire 😮 How I plunged into nostalgia! Thank you so much ❤

I do hope we get to see the native American segment here on KZread soon as well. 🧡

Oh my god I loved this so much. The whole experience seemed lovely, but... when she said borage... I literally screamed. Borage is the most common veggie in my hometown, we eat the stems and leaves (we call it borraja). But it's not known in the rest of Spain so I can only eat it when I visit my mom. I learned (reading Outlander 😂) that it is common in the UK to use the flowers for infusions and such. So the more you know... Thank you!

Fellow maña here. I remember having a Galician cousin over one summer and when my aunt put the plate of borrajas in the table, the cousin explained that they would fed that vegetable to the pigs. Needless to say her mum called a few days after she came back home asking for a recipe 😂

@@claudial.2214 Hello there. It is not the most visually appealing thing to eat, I admit it. But it tastes like home.

I’ve been going to this place all my life since early childhood, this is such a wild trip I love it so much!!! I actually freaked out when she pointed out the borage, I ate some borage in one of those gardens as a tiny little kid and instantly loved it, edible flowers are wildly underrated 😂

I've never had borage, but totally had a similar experience with nasturtiums as a kid! The flowers are pretty AND yummy, what's not to love, right? XD

I grew up in western Massachusetts, this was one of the many repeat destinations for school field trips. You triggered a flood of memories, thanks for the nostalgia.

I saved this for my Saturday morning hurkledurkle, and it did not disappoint. You looked like a highborn lady in a novel having her first time in a kitchen. But I appreciate your going and adding a new trip to my bucket list of learning adventures. Thank you.

Watching rachel be so happy and sniff things and bringing us along on her learning makes me so happy! Also COWS, WOW is definitely going to be my new favourite stim, I can feel it

Hey in history today I was just teaching my kids about the Wompanoag people. I have a relative named Lucretia, it's not a name you hear too often. You reactions, Rachel, would have been exactly like my own. A bunch of "whoa, ooh, ahh" smelling everything and just a grin on my face the whole time. Neat video :)

If you're grinning when learning about genocide, either you're racist or you're not actually learning the truth.

@@cyborg_siren the grinning is only a response to learning to cook like that, not in response to the devastating history of the Native Americans.

You gotta do this with Old Stirbridge Village too! We have so many great historical museums in Massachusetts and New England. Maybe a visit to the Newport mansions? *eyebrow wiggle*

There’s a ton in Maine too. There’s multiple colonial forts. Native American culture is huge especially the wabanaki

I enjoyed that so much and I could tell you were totally overwhelmed because you barely spoke a word. You are a women of words and for this video you had really no words. It was priceless.

Enjoyed your video this week, it's good to spice stuff up a bit. ❤

My mom lived on a farm in the Depression, and she mentioned once they made cottage cheese by hanging it in a cloth bag on the water pump for it to drain. Turns out that's a really old trick.

I love these " living" museums! Visit more and take us with you!😊

Rachel + cooking + history + Plants. Perfect Saturday morning. 😍

I maid most the clapboards and pails for the house and fencing in the intro, all done by hand though I didint build that fence or house, just broke down the logs into the materials! YAY LILLY

I would LOVE to see more of these “experience for the day” adventures. Historic or whatever brings you joy. Really enjoyed watching. Thank you

She should cosplay as a black or brown person in those times. Oh wait...... only white people got to enjoy those times.

Abby will be so proud of you! You did such a good job! The cooking part, I felt your anxiety. Thank you for doing that. The veggie patch, you felt a little more comfortable. I imagine that experience will help in planning your veggie garden purchases for next year. Except for the waistcoat, stockings and shoes, I thought you were wearing your own clothes. 😊

I giggled when the interpreter pointed out the Marigolds that "Gladden the heart!" ❤ I have a couple of pots on my stoop filled with tomato plants, green pepper, eggplant, marigolds, and a lovely red flower. They definitely "gladden my heart" ! I HIGHLY recommend just starting a few pots around your door, shoving veggies & flowers in it, and water when needed. (Sometimes I must water daily, but due to lots of rain lately, I haven't had to.) It is lovely coming home to my pots sprucing up my entrance. Don't be afraid to start. I may only get a few cherry tomatoes & a green pepper or two, but it is SO satisfying to see the flowers, touch the plants, just interact with them.... P.s. marigolds will bloom more if you "deadhead" them. Basically break off spend flowers. Save them and dry them though. They will be full of seeds and Marigolds are some of the easiest seeds to start ! Just dry them & save them for next year. P.s. also, join a local "seed swapping" group & you will end up with TONS of seeds, normally just for the cost of postage ! (Anything under a pound is normally '1st class', so cheap!)

so impressed by Lily for staying so completely in character as Lucretia, the way she reacted when you shook her hand was perfect

As a history fiend who does dabble in Medieval English reenactment (12th ce) this is just fabulous! I would LOVE to see more of you doing this if you enjoy it and it looks like you do! You've got that Give-It-A-Go spirit of learning that's vital to this sort of thing. (Also are my ears playing tricks or is that goodwife actually using a version of the reconstructed Shakespearean Era English (17th ce) Pronounciation? It sounds awful close! What Detail!!) PS: As a Native also, I am delighted to see you also have a segment on the area's native inhabitants of the period and not just the colonizers.

I love this! But I am really disappointed that the content about the indigenous peoples, an underrepresented group, being put behind a paywall making it inaccessible to those exact underrepresented groups. I would have loved to see just a short clip with a bit of that content and then knowing I could go to Patreon for extended content. I hope you do this again in the future!
