In my mind when I think of rangers I think of men and women who were the honorable protectors of the land, the people, and all that is good. So Ive put a lot of thought into it lately and I think that rangers would have some form of code of honor or creed, similar to the Greek code of honor, the kni...

Happy hobbit day to all you rangers out there! Hope you all have a great hobbit worthy party! (I know I will.) And as a side note, Im back! :mrgreen: Ive gotten more time now that my college classes and red cross volunteering have cooled down into a normal easy to work with routine. So you're all go...

Nice how-to/walkthrough! Thanks! I'm sad to admit but Ringulf is right. So very many people don't know how to do a blanket role and I was one of them till I read your post, even though I'm an eagle scout. So thanks! It was easy to follow, effective, and had the things us rangers love so much, pictur...

Yesterday I convinced my family to celebrate the eclipse like the Vikings. In Norse mythology it was believed that the evil wolf demon, Skoll, chased the sun and during an eclipse would try to devour it. Following this train of thought the Vikings believed if they yelled and made lots of noise it wo...

Ive been first aid trained and certified on a modern kit, so there is no way you'll find me using a period kit. But if you know your period kit like th...

Come to Utah. Beautiful mountains, and you can experience all the seasons in the same day.

I finally achieved the rank of eagle scout this past week! Huzzah! Oh, and I've made it back to the forums after being really busy with the red cross.

Glad I'm not the only one who has been gone a while. Although my excuse is my volunteer work with the red cross. Fun, but time consuming.

Thank you! You have amazing timing Pete, as I was just looking for a way to make a scabbard for my new sword. I'll have to post the final pics when it's complete.

May your holidays be merry and full of cheer!

That looks wonderful! Great work!

Thanks. Its new to me. It was previously owned so I got it cheap. But it smells of smoke and has rust on it. Ill post pics soon as I get the rust off.

We got a new sword, and it had a small rust spot so it leads to the question; Whats the best way to remove sword rust without ruining the finish?

I'd be interested after missing the original order.

Happy Birthday!
