Drachenfest 2018: Training Day

Fighting is one of the biggest parts of Drachenfest (although not mandatory!) so I thought I'd chance filming a bit from this years training session on how the fighting at the event works!
There's still a few cars about and people haven't gone in time yet but its still worth a watch!

This year was way too hot to get anything done. I just hid in my friends camp for shade most of the time. Hopefully it will be less hot next year, cause me and ten Canadians are making a new group for 2019 and we want to get things done and not be roasted alive in armor xD

We germans have taken to call this years Drachenfest the Flammageddon.

[@MT-kx7ff]

I have the heat tolerance of a snow cone. How hot does it usually get there?

[@theexchipmunk]

Not like this year. Usually you will have somewhere around 23 degrees. Thats at least the usual temperature for juli/august there. But the weather has a real liking to go to hell over the week of Drachenfest.

[@binnsi2251]

Yea it was more like 40 degrees almost if not that.

[@TheIrishWill]

I remember my first drachenfest was ridiculously hot along with ConQuest afterwards! This year was definitely intense but you could still get a lot more done then you could in the storms the year before!

[@epicsongsandbattles375]

Aye id definetly be intrested if you did a group my friend. A sort of low-key intro to drachenfest and larping in general is a good idea, and you would probably get a lot of support. Great video!

[@TheIrishWill]

Okay great! Shoot me a message on the ol TheIrishWill facebook page sure and we'll talk! It seems like a fair few are interested, I just hope Im up to the task!

Hi :D I would love to join your larp group for 2019 because I've never been to an event as huge as Drachenfest and I don't have a clue about what I have to do to sign up and stuff....but I am from Germany and not a native Englisch speaker. Can I still join your group or is it just for native speaker?

[@TheIrishWill]

Hey there! I'd be happy to have you in the group! Look up TheIrishWill facebook page and send me a message about it there sure! :)

[@jasoncrow5482]

How does one go to drachenfest?

[@theexchipmunk]

Depends from were you are.

[@TheIrishWill]

You buy a ticket then fly/drive/walk/hot balloon/tunnel to the playing field and the game begins! :D

[@jasoncrow5482]

I'm American. Never left the country. Just really wanna go to drachen fest 2019. And thanks will. Is camel an option?

[@lochrine-8432]

Training day, bikini Fanta edition

[@BubblyBanjax]

Uh, fuck yeah a newbie group! We shall sing about the glory of said group. I wanna call them The Willows until you tell me the actual name :P

[@TheIrishWill]

THE NAME IS STILL PENDING. **Secretly copyrights "The willows"**

[@lochrine-8432]

I’m a theatrical battle guy :T I think that’s why I wouldn’t do a big battle~

[@SharkWrestler]

It doesn't really make sense to me, you just let whoever hits first win because you're flopping all over.

[@Weynardt]

'strayans complaining about heat. Wait wat?

[@TheIrishWill]

Which ones!?

[@Weynardt]

@@TheIrishWill Youuu! Kinda :) We had one of your countrymen come and talk to us on the last evening, was really cool. Glad you still take the long journey ^^
