Did you poach the sound editor from Top Gear? I can't hear the people over the background noise.

Here in the States we called the "poleman" on a survey crew the "rodman". I was a surveyor in central Florida in the 80s. Starting as a Rodman but became the instrument man very quickly. Back then we had 3 man crews. Today, I see surveyors working alone thanks to GPS. I learned to read a transit angles by lining up "hairs" on an azimuth.

Sage harvesting sounds wild. Deep lacerations down to the bone by grass? Fuck me. Surprised it wasn't weaponised somehow lol

We have sedge in Florida. Not suprisingly it's called saw grass. Once, whilst detasselling corn in Iowa i saw a fellow sliced thru the eyeball by the edge of a corn leaf. Poor chap was less than pleased.

Shoveling horse dung is possibly the best to deal with. There's pig dung... Townies, smh. 😁

The music is far too loud ... often drowns out the dialogue.

Being a sin eater sounds like a great job for a no-gooder, you got paid in coin and ale to eat bread and salt, and because you're a no-gooder you're already extremely sinful and you know you're going to hell so, well, it's like being charged with armed robbery while serving 3,000 years for multiple mass murders ain't it? I'd probably be a "professional" sin eater if I was born back in those days.

Threshing machines were (and still can be) extremely dangerous. Many a farmhand lost an arm trying to clear a jam out of one.

Indeed schwerpunkt is really worth recommendation!! Personally I admire creator for knowledge.

The music while being unnecessary while tony is talking is also annoyingly loud

I adore this channel but you need to fire your sound mixer! The music drowns out the narrator! It's so annoying and it happens all the time on many episodes! I've given up trying to hear Tony in much of this episode.

The 'foreground' music is incredibly obtrusive into what would otherwise be good viewing.

We need an entire documentary talking about Tudor Knackers, not just the ONE well documented example of the one who became a famous executioner.. there was one for nearly each area of england. we need to hear their rural stories too. they mattered a lot to how trades and professions exist today. without them, we wouldn't have prominent candlemakers, entire fertilizer companies, dedicated locations for the processing of leathers that are slowly dwindling out of existence across the globe.. :(

American here: What's a Knacker?

@TheKsourmoon

9 ай бұрын

@gy2gy246 a knacker was a profession made out of the bare basic building blocks to other jobs. A leatherworker needs the skin, a farmer needs the fertile bone meal, a chef needs the meat, book binders need the glue, candle makers need the wax... A knacker would wake at dawn, take a wheelbarrow to the streets and search for sick and dying animals or dead ones. The knackers job was to turn those dead animals into useful ingredients in other jobs! That's how they made their living and kept their families afloat.

Steeple jack, nope nope nope.

so you wash it in dirty water?

The quality of the sound is poor. Too much interference from background noise and music.

The music is overpowering the actual talking

If you want to play music, then play music. If you want to give commentary… turn the music down!

So I suppose modern Shepard still wipe sheep’s’ bottoms…?

He covers only the past 4 centuries, and only in Britain. I think there were medieval jobs probably worse than these. But the video is delightful.

I mean, to be fair, they've colonized much of the world at some point, so they were excellent and strong conquesters back when that mattered (though things didn't end well for many of the countries they commandeered, unfortunately). So "weakness" is subjective in the context of the British in general. If you mean "physically," then that's a massive generalization spawned by you watching an elderly man doing hard labor, which is equally stupid lol.
