As an American I wish I could see these folks do more of this. How about life in the dustbowl in the 1920s? Or what was it like to live in the Virginia Colony in the 1520s? Great group of folks!

I've become such a fan of Ruth. She endures so much to understand history personally, and she does it with joy.

This active, living museum is absolutely amazing. It's not just a place where you walk around and see period buildings and artifacts. but you can live it and gain real experience and knowledge of what it must have been like to live in Medieval times. I wish I could spend a year there. I am so impressed.

(Ruth)
As a result of her social history research, she has stopped using detergents in her washing machine, never eats factory farmed food and sometimes cooks on an open wood fire.[3] For a period of three months she followed a Tudor body cleansing regime, and no-one complained or noticed a smell.[26]

These series have been so interesting and educational. The Applied Anthropology/Archeology thing is awesome. I would love to volunteer to take part in these. Its so much easier to learn and understand when you see someone do it instead of just talk about it.
The 25 year castle project is AMAZING. I wish I was in Europe so I could volunteer to help. I want to learn EVERYTHING 😂.
It would be the ultimate Role Play Game. Kingdom Come : Deliverance Live. 😂

I have been brewing beer for years and the yeast-culturing method I have always used was to take the last swig of a growler and add a few spoons of sugar to it and then.... just wait.
Every unfiltered bottle of beer will have the silt on the bottom... thats dormant yeast. Its very healthy to consume, one of the only sources of vitamin K. But it gives you the uh....beer trots. 😂
Idk how people enjoy Marmite. 😆
Its the best way to guarentee consitancy of a particular recipe. Likely how regional strains eventually evolved too. A town or region likely bred 10s of 1000s of generations of a particular strain.
For some recipes, there is not an exact commercial strain available and getting some from the bottle is the only way to properly reproduce the recipe.
I imagine in Ye Olde Tymes that was the common method... if you somehow didn't have your own ale to culture, a neighbor must have the bottom of a jug you could use.
Catching yeast on the wind can be dangerous, as some species produce the wrong sort of alcohol and you can blind someone 😂.
I don't think it matters for bread making though. A rise is a rise. Its all cooked off in the oven.

Such a great, interesting and enjoyable series. I hope its being shown in classrooms. Everyone involved does a great job keeping it interesting and understandable.

Ruth stated this was the best time period for her. She would have happily stayed. Though hard work, it was peaceful to her, along with the simplicity and the involvement of religion in what they did. I have to agree with her because one thing the Tudors did was take time to have fun & celebrate life, I thought it would be a lot more rigid with the religious aspect, but that didn't happen until much later in history, like the Victorians for example, by then a lot of having fun seems to have gone...no one was chasing fairies by then. She didn't like the Wartime Farm, because it wore her down, a depressing time in history. I could only watch two episodes of that series, myself. Yes, I think the Tudor times although had hard work, I would have enjoyed that time in history.

Medieval vs Tudor. It's so hard to find just the right info I need for research.

[davidsan]

This is the best. I'm so addicted to this series!

Miss Ruth is amazing and so is everyone one else on the show! ❤❤

This is an AMAZING series!!! I've watched it multiple times, along with Victorian Farm, Edwardian Farm and War Time Farm.

There is alot to be learned in all these series from the BBC. War time farm is my favorite. These skills will probably come in handy in the not to far off future. In the past you relied on yourself friends and family not the government.

To the person reading this, may God's grace surround you in every challenge you face. He hears your prayers, and your deliverance is on its way. Keep trusting in His plan. Amen! 💖

The pyrotechnics guy had a lovely sense of humor.

I work in robotics and mechatronics. But I would love to live this life instead. By the way, it's not true that most people didn't know latin. Most Catholics knew almost all church latin. Just because they didn't write it doesn't mean they don't know it.

[JerridSchubert]

Wonderful, Wonderful! So thankful a true trial, not just a token weekend or month. My favorite period, this. So well done.

[JerridSchubert]

Such a wondrous projdct so well done! Thank you so very much!

There is alot to be learned in all these series from the BBC. War time farm is my favorite. These skills will probably come in handy in the not to far off future. In the past you relied on yourself friends and family not the government.kings and lords were only for security;roads and bridges; law and order and such. The church was the only form of social security. If you were a gay man you could still be a respected member of society and join the clergy. If you were a woman you could become a nun and not be pressured to marry and have children. Seeing how even a straight woman's options were limited. This might have been desirable to a woman with ambition to have a career. The wealthy gave more as it was customary to give a teeth ten percent of your earnings to the church. If you didn't you were looked down apon and it could even be hazardous to your health.

I've so many questions in regards to the technologies and how they were discovered and all of that what the science is behind it

7:48 i dig that crazy hat. do they have one with a propeller and a feather?

It is possible to be a good person, regardless of religious beliefs. Just because your religious does not mean your automatically a good person. To think otherwise is hypocrisy.
