Presentation of my first soft kit (with photos)
Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2024 8:01 pm
Hello my lords
This is my Middle Earth kit :
Not everything is historically correct but some items will be replaced later (while others are essential like medikit for example).
Everything you'll see on the photos was hand sewn or made by me. The only items I bought were the 2 knives, the pins and the quiver buckle, the smoking pipe, the shoes, all modern survival items and the arrowheads.
Here is the kit list :
Clothes :
-brown linen pants (or grey wool pants, or both depending on the temperature)
-(modern) shoes
-sand/brown linen tunic with small brass pin
-grey wool tunic with small brass pin
-leather belt
-green moss loden wool hood
-green moss loden wool cloak with pin
-dark olive cotton mask
-light green wool mittens
On my back :
-bow in a beeswaxed linen cover
-arrows in a leather quiver
On my belt :
-knife on the front (modern but it's a gift that I love)
-seax on the back
-2 leather pouches
Left pouch :
-firesteel
-pine wood chips
-hemp rope
-charclothes
-pine sticks
-smoking pipe
-old Toby tobacco
-compas
-small hemp rope
Right pouch :
-medikit
-fishing kit (line, hooks, sinkers, 3 floats)
-emergency blanket
-emergency glowstick
-file
-sharpening stone
For the moment, I'm happy with my kit, it works fine for me when I'm trekking with it.
The only changements I want for the moment are a larger hood with brown color on the low part, and maybe a cloak 4 or 6 inches longer.
About my snapsack and my rolled bag, I'll post a full description soon in the hard kit section
