Re: Thoughts on Civil War "Dog Tents?"
Hey screenahollic, thanks for the research rabbit hole! I found this video: 7exUziPjruI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7exUziPjruI ... and interestingly, the "Type I" ACW Shelter half and the German WWI Zeltbahn I was referring to appear to be basically the same thing. If I'm finding the ...

Re: Presentation of my first soft kit (with photos)
Nicely done, and it looks very functional! I love the little fish drawing especially. :mrgreen: I'm curious about your belt! This is more a general reenactor/LARP/cosplay culture question than anything specific to Middle-earth. I was under the impression the tongueless ring belt was just something w...

Re: Elven Ranger Clothing Concept
I do like the collar of the shirt and the robe, though the crossed over overtunic/waistcoat does read a bit too eastern to my eye also. Though I love the sash and neckline. Hrm.. not sure, there. What materials are you thinking? I do love raw silk generally, especially for warmer weather. And I thin...

Windlass XIV, big sale, Mar 23, 2024
Not mine, this just turned up in a mass email. For those who've been eyeing the XIV as a short wilderness sword, the best deal in quite some time has just turned up. Between the overstock markdown and the discount code, today it's gone from almost $300 to just over $200. https://www.museumreplicas.c...

Re: My heavyweight kit for long treks
That looks very well thought out! Nicely done! Using the belt pouch as a back pocket is just clever. You made the frame yourself, you say? Was there a particular historical model or reference you used, or did you just go with what looked right? Looks like it was a wonderful time out! (And I understa...

Re: Thoughts on Civil War "Dog Tents?"
Good luck! Here's a video on the kohte - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLzEYIVAFJQ .. it always seemed to me that it was begging to be a fantasy-adventurer / fantasy-world-army setup, what with being able to use pikes for poles and a shield for that top air vent cover. That might be too clever by ...

Re: Thoughts on Civil War "Dog Tents?"
May I suggest looking also at WWI German Zeltbahns (the square ones, not necessarily the later triangles), the Russian WWII plasch-palatka, and the postwar(?) German civilian Kohte tents? I think you'll find a lot to like - the shape of the last just seems begging to be made into a somewhat more ref...

Re: Hello! A Writer Joining for Inspiration
Cool and good luck! I think you might want to have a look at the Gwelf Survival Guide - it's got a similar structure to what you're talking about, but of course with a very different setting. https://www.eyeofnewtpress.com/products/gwelf-the-survival-guide And you may already know this, but for thin...

Re: Lanolin question
I've used this, I think on advice of Ursus once upon a time: https://www.etsy.com/listing/90511095/2-oz-mamabear-lanolizing-wool-spray-you?variation0=577848387 ... but I confess, I didn't notice a difference in the wool birrus I tried it on.

Our Witcher cousins
Okay, so they're not rangers per-se. But they totally have the "hardcore historical reenactment, but for fantasy" thing down.

Re: Needles!
Cool!
I totally need to try those someday soon. Thank you for the pointer!
ECHO does such amazing work. The world opening up enough for us to communicate with Eastern Europe has just been a godsend.
