Knots to Shorten Canteens? #americancivilwar #canteen
Civil War soldiers were issued canteens with straps generally too long to be comfortable while on the march. Thus, many soldiers shortened the strap to make the canteen sit just above the hip or right under the arm. But how did they do it? What was the most common way? Did they tie knots in the webbing? Did they overlap the strap and sew it together? Which method was most popular?

Mounting with The Guidon

How did the guidon bearer mount while holding the guidon? Did he place it on the other side of the horse then mount and pick it up off the off side? Did he hold it the entire time on the near side? Either way, it seems very awkward to do easily. What do you think?

The 11th Kansas Cavalry was an amazing regiment that enlisted in 1862, fought at the battle of Prairie Grove, fought all through the western theatre of the American Civil War and was forced to go west and fight Native Americans after the Civil War was over because they had more time left in their enlistment. The Fort Caspar Museum has put together an awesome exhibit highlighting the men and exp...
No, they were just engineers
looks like they had just enough time. this Blows away the mud flood theory. 😂
... all of America should be beautiful 😍... corruption fucked up everything
A great great relative of mine was in the Kentucky Calvary and lived through the war
The South will rise again!
I wonder what will be built by those who have electronics ripped suddenly from their hands with a two and a'half generations gap of knowledge.
john brown kissed his dad on the lips
my lord, i get bored and worn out just painting trim..... incredible.
Nah... they just whipped up some quick ramshackle huts. If they had enough time, they probably would have invented the space program a hundred years early.
Yes, yes they did
Yep
Honestly no they created a peice of art that they can be proud of
Nah they just actually cared about quality, craftsmanship, etc 😂
Was not expecting Wardruna on a US Cavalry video lol
All those collectively took a day to build. They would have been done faster but Rutherford forgot to get the long nails so some improvising had to be done
What this is ,is a brilliant way to utilize the swamp scrub that would be cleared ,tossed out or burnt anyway. It leaves the larger material free for Palisades ,better heat and cover while keeping the place interesting. I think they knew exactly how to make a camp!
Is that a sack coat you’re wearing?
A fisherman’s knot at the top would allow the soldier to shorten the strap as needed and then lengthen back while in camp.
All they had was time back then
last time USA saw something cultural
A Very *cavalier* approach of the cavalry
yes definitely
To them this was jus another day playing with leggos
Looks "Essayons!" standard to me.
Speaking of minute details, how come you don't tuck your pants into your boot tops to keep them out of the mud and manure? That certainly was done, even though it may not have been regulation.
In my experience reenacting CW cavalry, on hot days trousers weren't tucked into boots to allow for a bit of air circulation and tucked when it was cold. Also, in a heavy downpour the water wicks down the trousers and straight into the boots if tucked. Another option is to roll the trouser cuffs. When riding in wet conditions you're going to get muddy anyway. Our unit just left it to personal preference.
Im no cavalryman, nor am I a reenactor. I'm a simple horse trainer and have looked askance at the recent rodeo cowboy fashion of jeans tucked into cowboy boots. Everything runs or rolls down the legs and under the feet. Hay, bedding, pebbles, etc. Thats why.
@@danielmoulton4117 No slight was intended. Was just trying to be succinct. I would venture to say that many of the ideas of Old West/Cavalry stem from Hollywood. Such as the infamous yellow bandana in 50s and 60s cavalry films.
Tie the knot between between the the metal loops on the canteen
Ny+soldier is a person you want to keep busy or else.
Hey, Jeremiah, is this wall not level......and there is crack in the roof.
My OCD is buggin' on that missin' button😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
Been readin' hard again I see. 👍
I have four US canteens, one with a leather strap and three with cotton straps. The cotton straps I’ve sliced with a knife and tied at a comfortable height with a square knot.
Where do y'all purchase your gum blankets ?
Do you know if soldiers would do this with haversacks, im rather small and aint got any sewing skills. All the haversacks you buy are all too long for me.
Just over lap the strap. Stiching is actually very easy.
Use the house wife to create a adjustable strap
When I used to reenact, we came to the theory that while on the march and discovered your canteen was being annoying, the quick fix would be a knot. Then when you had a chance to camp for a reasonable time. Pull out the trusty "housewife" and give it a proper sew. It is not unreasonable to think most soldiers had a rudimentary talent for needle n' thread. Again it was a theory, but a plausible one. Great video.
Great content guys!!
Wonderful video! I’m wondering who manufactured your cap? It looks like a really good replica.
I do this all the time. Thanks for the photos.
Which method do you use? Glad you liked the photos!
@@11thovc I always tie it in a knot under one of the three loops on the canteen.
“What do you mean Why, it’s what we were Made to do”
Awesome stuff!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the info!

AI generated fake images
Idk what I was expecting but it definitely wasn't THAT GLORIOUS ART
Probably took em 3 days to do that
My cousin was an Army Engineer platoon leader. When they showed up at Bagram their temporary billets were bare of furnishings, so they rounded up discarded pallets and plywood, reused nails and improved their post. They got investigated over it due to chickenshit regulations and civilian contractors. What these pictures show is the untapped potential of young men given trust and leadership rather than rules and punishment.
Looks to me like they had about the right amount of time on their hands. Impressive!
What was the method of building these
Congratulations you have been demoted from engineer to architect. But no like in all seriousness that’s some cool shit they did. I joke as it seems stylish over functional
Beautiful
Unlike 40 and down they had drive and ambition. There were no computers or phones. They challenged each other. Y’all just want to challenge a dance move while showing everything in your someone might want.
