6/28: Highland Lessons




How they dressed, ate, slept, lived, killed and loved. And how they
stunk! What an amazing 50 minute live lecture. So fascinating.

Just imagine wearing the same 7m of material all year and washing it
only once (in water and urine) to remove the blood, shit, pests, oils,
smoke, etc. that accumulated through the entire year. What Matt and
Alyssa are wearing is what they would wear all year. It is all they
would have. One set. That's it.

The weapons here are all real. They are not replicas. They were used
in war. And they all killed. The stains are of the remains of human
death.

Powerful. Very powerful.
