Very cool! I am like the author and noticed how every kit has a spoon in it! Also, the early ones all have fire-steels, one of which is a design I last made before giving up the forge. Thanks for posting this , I really enjoyed looking at all the details.

People had a lot more time during Covid to research, since we couldnt do much else... From what I saw in England you couldnt even ride/hike outside on the trails during Covid...

The solier's kit one is great.... there are pieces some may quibble about, but the overall impressions are good.

The Scottish highland video.... It's not an era or portrayal that falls within my realm of knowledge, but I have seen quite a bit of debate regarding many of the details in that one.

The "Quintessential Trekking" video... well, I haven't even watched that one yet. I love how approachable the Townsend videos are, and how good much of there information is, but I have yet to see one video from them that couldn't be debated to some degree.... even by me, who is admittedly not a specialist in later 18th and early 19th century history and gear.

That said, some rather random pieces of luck have it that I will be able to post my own version of the 1690-1710 soldiers gear collection, hopefully within the next month or two (assuming I show any sort of discipline completing the last couple of details I need).

But yeah, the internet has become a much better place for good information.... but it has made it that much more challenging, because much of the "good" has elements contained that are "questionable", so dubious information has become that much more difficult to filter. That caveat aside, it's nice to see the general level of the hobby improve, even if certain elements that maybe shouldn;t have, are becoming more mainstays.
