I am guessing he is either practicing, hiking, or hunting. ^^

All very good guesses. ^^

One of the things about medieval clothing things must have been fairly cool. Here in Texas such a shirt would only work at night or wintertime. I look at pictures of the French, Spanish and English explorers in North America and I wonder how long it took them to throw those boots away and use moccasins. La Salle's colony was right down the road from me, and a more horrible disaster of a colony would be hard to find. There are plenty of times when display is counter productive, to say the least.
Good pic as usual!

Thank you. Living in the American Southwest and being a reenactor and HEMA enthusiast, I know the risk of heat stroke all too well. A gambeson at least is essential and staying properly hydrated is just as essential. I can live with the boots well enough but heat management in an arming jacket is a real chore. There are stories of Spanish invaders dressing down as much as they could but keeping vital armour for fear of their lives. Simple clothing but a breastplate and Morion helm became a common sight.

Cortez et al. found that padded cotton soaked in brine worked well. Cortez is one of history's most evil men, but he was also one of the very greatest of captains. I think of Coronado and his men armored to the hilt on their utterly useless quest for El Dorado, burning under the sun without any real opposition. Heat is not the problem with boots, but their tendency to fall apart. Probably the best skin to armor ratio would be the panoply adopted by the Greek hoplites, particularly the linothorax and ditching the greaves. You will notice that many of those helmets are designed to push back onto the top of the head. But the American southwest is not Germany. I guess I have no point to all this.

Interesting. Looking at the Morian helm and it kinda has the same ability to be pushed back and stay on the head. The pains of having an interest in reenactment but living nowhere near the same latitude as your favorite subject.

I have always admired the Morian helmet, I think it is a really good design as regards protection and simplicity of manufacture. When I was on the Marine's Silent Drill Team I got to appreciate why formation training was so all important to fighting with muscle power. Did not the Swiss dominate the battlefield for 150 years? Moving to attack with and staying in the correct place with pikes would have been hard enough, never mind Macedonian phalanx fighting. The only training I got in the Corps was marching in groups of men in a specified manner. It gave me a real appreciation of why columns were used in battle instead of line sometimes, Waterloo comes to mind. The most vivid history lesson I had was when the Fort Henry Guard demonstrated black powder volley firing. No wonder those uniforms were colorful, it hardly made a difference.

Discipline and organization usually wins against skilled individuals. And yeah, black powder volleys will quickly make a huge visibility problem
