Speaking of swords, the long held view that in RL it is impractical to carry them on the back is apparently beginning to be reassessed. Here's one of a number of recent videos discussing this.

I finally did see it. Interesting, and very brilliant scabbard he invented in order to draw a longsword from his back. Of course the very fact that had to invent something new to make it possible does not invalidate the statement that in real life, people did not do this. Because no one had that custom scabbard of his in Medieval Europe, or the Roman Mediterranean, etc... But in his defense, he does point out that the ideal use for this is not in a historical setting, but rather in a fictional Fantasy setting. I agree that it is indeed ideal for adventurers, from Geralt to Aragorn.
