Best Weapons for an Adventuring Runaway Girl (Realistic Fantasy)

This is the last video I recorded at Matt Easton's place in early October this year (2024). We were having a chat to answer a fantasy writer's question about what would be the most practical historical equipment for a female character travelling solo on some sort of adventure. So here are some of our ideas for a main weapon, a sidearm, and a missile option that don't require a lot of strength and can be carried easily on a journey without a horse-drawn cart. Perhaps that can serve as inspiration for your writing or artwork in novels, tabletop RPGs, etc. ‪@scholagladiatoria‬ The clips I show here are from these videos: The Height of Sword Evolution    • The Height of Sword Evolution   The Most Gorgeous Arms and Armor at the Wallace Collection    • The Most Gorgeous Arms and Armor at the Wa...   Light Bow / Medieval Crossbow Tested on Ballistic Gel and Padded Jacket    • Light Bow / Medieval Crossbow Tested on Ba...   Testing a Reproduction Igorot Headhunting Axe    • The Most Brutal Melee Weapon I've Tested s...   ** Sources & credits ** https://wallacelive.wallacecollection... https://royalarmouries.org/collection/ Female Landsknecht mercenary by Seungyoon Lee https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1n...
