In a little over 1 week my dad and I will be leaving for Spain and embarking on our great adventure. We will be walking the Camino Ingles, and the Camino Finisterre. http://www.santiago-compostela.net/ingles/index_ci_en.html http://www.santiago-compostela.net/finisterre/index_cfm_en.html We have bee...

I have always been partial to the Ithilien Rangers myself, even before seeing the movies. The cloak looks great!

I eventually plan on having a Hobbit impression and a Woodman impression. For my Woodman impression I will be going with a spear, axe and a small square shield which I have posted awhile back. I have a large khyber knife that I got from Kult of Athena and though it may be a good weapon for a Woodman...

I am slowly working on my Woodman impression which will be heavily influenced by Roman and Celtic gear and include much of my gear from that hobby. http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq324/mboyce_photos/SANY5269_zpsbgx1itlx.jpg First is my belt, it is styled after a celtic toggle belt.

Practice sleeping outside on the ground in your yard,,,really. Like Udwin said, try to make yourself a bed put of leaves, pine boughs, etc. Also if you want to try the hammock thing, make sure you have the set up down pat before you go. It's not pleasant realizing that your sleep system is totally i...

Some friends and I went on a hike yesterday to do some scouting for primitive hunt in October. We hike two miles into the Ouachita trail to check out this shelter and water availability. The Ouachita trail starts in Oklahoma and goes for 233 miles into Arkansas through the Ouachita mountains, ending...

Great, I'll mark it on the calendar. I'm actually going out to explore part of the Ouachita trail this weekend with my dad and a couple of friends. There is a great hiking group out of Russellville that does some really nice outings too. I'll pm you with my phone number. If you don't have time to ge...

That is awesome!
