Exploring the Ancient Forest today
Here’s some photos from today’s 7 miler. Lots of elevation gain on this one! Few travelers on the trail, very few.
My cloak arrived right after I got home.
I worry too much about others perception but wearing a cloak in full Ranger style probably wouldn’t seem as odd in the woods versus most elsewhere.

Thanks! I’m trying to make an effort to get out often.

Re: Exploring the Ancient Forest today
Looks like a great outing these threads are really making me want to head out in kit, something I haven't done since September, I've been far to busy
If anyone ever asks me I usually say I'm testing kit for Historical trekking, most people you meet haven't enough knowledge to be able to tell otherwise, they usually say "that's interesting" and loose interest, that said, a lot of people don't ask and just give me a funny look and I've only had someone appear genuinely interested onceRainor_Elulith wrote: I worry too much about others perception but wearing a cloak in full Ranger style probably wouldn’t seem as odd in the woods versus most elsewhere.
Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.
Aragorn: It's the beards.

That’s a good one to use. You’re right most people, especially out in the woods, would probably bare no mind at all. Now I just have to find a place secluded enough to practice my archery skills in full gearIodo wrote: If anyone ever asks me I usually say I'm testing kit for Historical trekking, most people you meet haven't enough knowledge to be able to tell otherwise, they usually say "that's interesting" and loose interest, that said, a lot of people don't ask and just give me a funny look and I've only had someone appear genuinely interested once

WOW! What a beautiful locale! Absolutely enchanting! I would want to be out in it all the time if I lived near such fantastical environs! Our environment can be very beautiful here in CO, but it lacks that otherworldly quality of a really damp, lush forest.

Thanks! Indeed it does look otherworldly and was quite damp, made for a great tracking experience though. Lots of deer sign and raccoon tracks. Also picked up on a large cat of some kind, I’m guessing mountain lion considering the location but didn’t want to find outManveruon wrote:WOW! What a beautiful locale! Absolutely enchanting!

Colorado is a beautiful place for sure! Never did make it out into the forests there. Only visited for snowboarding.
My favorite place for the fern forests will always be Washington state. As a kid running around there, the fern was so dense and tall you could crawl under it and not be seen!

Washington state forests are beautiful indeed. They seem ancient.

Definitely. There’s a really awesome place there, I think it’s called Hoh Forest? Either way it reminds me of what would be Fangorn

You've got a lovely locale to play in.
Now the sword shall come from under the cloak.
