Re: Pictures of my full outfit.
Looking good, Brett! Your style of simple and unadorned--but still sturdy and functional--gear is very much in keeping with Tolkien's Rangers. Carved pipe is very nice, thumbs-up for carving it yourself! What kind of leather is your jerkin? Thumbs-up on the walnut dyeing, too! The jerkin is moose h...

Blanket roll, quiver, and pack bow in place. P1010561 (540x720) (525x700).jpg My cloak is made from wool survival blankets I bought off ebay. It was a grey green when I bought it but I boiled it in homemade walnut dye until it was a rusty green. P1010558 (525x700)cloak.jpg Here I am with sword in ha...

Pictures of my full outfit.
2nd layer is my leather jerkin with my sword belt in place. The jerkin started out a lighter brown but sweat and wear have darkened it considerably, keeps the brambles and thorns off nicely. Forgot to add that the jerkin has been waterproofed and also doubles as an extra bit of ground cloth or shelt...

Re: Pics of my weapons and pack
Very nice kit and weapons. Your gear is well thought out and apparently well tested. When possible could you please provide us more pics of the sword and sword belt. The POB on that would make it manageable even for much smaller person. If we all ever got today for a picture, the rest of us would l...

Re: Scenario - February 2014
The perfect post to make my intro! In my opinion the village is lost already so I'll use it for bait. First I'll say that I've taught and lectured on WMA and HEMA for over twelve years so I'll rely on my experience here as if I where the man.
