Went to a gun and knife show this weekend and traded for what I was told was a old Japanese sword blade in military mountings.....would be nice to...

Re: Wondering on Strider's literary inspiration...

To all who have replied to my thoughts of Robin Hood as a inspiration.....just wanted to say thanks for the well thought out replies.....might not agree to the idea...but no one gave me a snarky reply, as on other forms.

Re: Wondering on Strider's literary inspiration...

Greg, I like your thinking of "doing Robin Hood better".... My "love of archery" was referring to Tolkien's love of archery, not Aragorn's....sorry about my poor writing. Wasn't really thinking of Aragorn of being a archer per se.....but as an man outside of the law...making his ...

Re: Wondering on Strider's literary inspiration...

Re: What Should a Ranger Carry?

When out and about in the woodline for a extended stay...in addition to what you have mentioned I would suggest some sort of "waterproofng" for your leather...I use a mix of beeswax and beargrease.....also a first aid kit might be handy.
