+DaaaahWhoosh Oh, you need to visit Visby then, a lot of the medieval buildings are intact and some are open to visitors during the summer. Visby was probably the cleanest medieval city in northern Europe to beeot thanks to it's cobbled streets, stone buildings and underground sewage system. The city is built in a steep incline over lime stone cliffs from the sea up towards marshier ground some way outside the city walls inland (now long since drained and urbanised) Those wetlands provided a never ending stream of water coursing through the layered lime stone of the city and was early on channelled into an underground sewer system beneath the streets and houses and out into the Baltic sea by way of the harbour and many other outlets.

Those uneducated, superstitious, ignoramus' were smarter than we give them credit for aren't they? While I wouldn't want to live in the Medieval era, I do believe that a lot of their technology is superior to what we use today. The sustainability of their products, tools and other stuff might be over-engineered by academic standards today, but the labor costs of a structure that lasts for several hundred years I believe is far superior to our modern ones.

If you're going to tear down a house in 40 years hence because it'll be declared unfit for habitation due to previously unknown health hazards or the like anyway, then there's no point in constructing something built to last for a hundred years. You're also suffering from survivorship bias here - we only see the buildings that lasted, not the ones that did collapse, no matter how many times they were rebuilt.

His confidence in his rope is a sure sign of a good rope maker!

In 1956, this farmyard rope-walk method was still being used in Northern Italy, making rope from Locally grown Hemp ( Canapa) also used for textile making. I was 7 at the time, and saw it on a cousin's farm whilst visiting from Australia.

Wow, I just learned how to make rope from one of the best rope makers in the world. Thank you for sharing this with us. I really mean it.

Great video,rope making is one of the most important skills man invented...in my opinion any way...ranks up there with the wheel,the gear and the pulley.

This video was interesting to me because a few years ago i did some online research into my family history and got as far back as the late 1700s. I couldn't go farther back without actually taveling to Europe. One of my Welsh ancestors on my fathers side worked in a rope factory in Cardigan, Wales. So I can see what sort of thing he would have been doing. Thanks for the upload.

Amazing! I'm a huge advocate for all things rope/cord related and this has made my morning, thank you so much for sharing!

I've been taking kids to the annual Civil War Reenactment in Fresno, Calif. for the last 25+ years, learning a bit of history firsthand is more fun and goes deeper. Usually 1200-1600+ reenactors, Northern, Southern, civilian and Sutler encampments, many vendors, displays of weaving, broommaking,, boatbuilding, cooking, medical, telegraph, whole lot more. Not every year, but sometimes there would be a wandering Rope Maker. He would get a curious group, pick out 3 young kids for an impromptu Ropewalk, and teach / explain the process and history - always a great hit, and the kids would split up a 10 to 15 ft. 1/2 " sisal rope as souveniers. This was excellent seeing another example, and very well done!

This is why I love this channel, as well as getting stuff about historical warfare we also get the "mundane" everyday things that contributed to society back then, i.e. some average joe's job and how they did it. These videos always capture my attention more to be honest, but then again, all of Lindy's content is good.

That was extremely educational I watched one video of these guys in Australia and they couldn't make a rope to save their soul they kept getting it all bunched up and twisted nodded but this guy obviously knows what he's doing thank you for the video I enjoyed it extremely....👍👍

Finally something interestring on youtube

simply amazing what humans have achieved. thanks for the great video!

I loved that rhyme at the end. A good bit of rope, can help a man cope, and offer him hope on a slippery slope. But a length of a string is no sort of thing for a climber to cling, nor for Tarzan to swing.

Congrats Lindybeige. Because of you I now know how they made both twine and rope.

Great video, love the poem at the end.

Beautiful rope.

in Karlskrona (Sweden) they have one of the longest wooden houses in the world (300 meter) and it was used for making ropes to the navy. started in the 1700, and I think they still making ropes there some times but that more like for showing the turist.

Fascinating, thank you for the incredible video. 😁

Wow, I was literally there a couple days ago for the midsummer's day festival on my vacation, that is so trippy!

Wow, I hope you made more videos while at that market. This is great.

Thanks for sharing. Good stuff!

Excellent rope!

fantastic video sir.

Totally awesome

my family is from Visby! I miss gotland so much

I really enjoyed that thank you 😊

At the ropery at Chatham historic dockyards, after making some rope, they demonstrate than the length can stand straight up in your hand to demonstrate its awesomeness. Also interestingly major suppliers of rope to the royal navy inserted a coloured strand into the rope to identify the manufacturer. If your rope was later found to be defective, your ropery would be fined. Very interesting, I'm glad they showed me the ropes. :)

I did not search for this neither have watched anything related to this but here i am

Great stuff, I live about sixteen miles from Castleton, where rope making in this manner was done in the Peak Cavern from the mid 17th century onwards :-)

Brilliant!

This is pretty neat. Archeosoup also has a thing on rope making.

Good job!

I needed to make some ropehandles for my viking boatchest i made but i made it by hand with the technique from the vid. thanks!

My scout troop made rope this way once using plastic twine. It was so labor intensive that to this day I describe my aversion to cutting a rope as "religious". Just stow the ends off and spare the line.

OMG, it's so funny to hear the little kid's dad speak Belgian Dutch (Flemish) :D what a small world.
