Gave the site a skim and pretty cool stuff. I will give it a full read soon. It seems to go deeper into some of the releases I already knew about, and mentions some I hadn't heard of yet. Thanks.

Looks like 3Rivers horse bow strings are too long, so another option is to contact a horse bow vendor,

Speaking of Mike's youtube, I noticed this video in his likes. It is hilarious.

LOL, I don't do facebook so I hadn't seen this until someone posted it over on SBG. Mike Loades ( an author and avid mounted archer) responded on Facebook about Lar's video The 1st post https://www.facebook.com/mikeloades/posts/860727190632566 The 2nd post https://www.facebook.com/mikeloades/posts/8...

BTW one of the other speed archers Lars says he is better than is this young kid. 3izeopuLbvA Notice this kid seems to have no trouble placing the arrow on the other side of the bow in one fluid simple motion. Also note this kid actually does a full draw to a repeatable anchor point. Yet he still ge...

I think that if he can draw his bow half way, he should be able to draw it all the way... depending on what kind of "hold" (?) he's using. It looks like he is nocking his arrow on the right side of his bow, and probably has wide nocks on his arrows to facilitate this. But I can't think of...

I agree with Greg in that the maille in question must be butted, there's no way an arrow from that bow would penetrate my riveted maille hauberk. Note that the shot of shooting the maille does not actually show him in reference to the armored dummy. There is a shot of him at the back of a room then...

Lars talks a good game but the reality is he is a BSer. He hypes himself up and misrepresents himself over and over. He typically use 25-35# bows, and worse if you pay attention he is not taking a full draw. He is typically only doing a half or less draw so the actual poundage is much less than 30#....

The prussik is a very useful knot (and tool), but I'd find it a bit redundant/excessive for a tarp/tent setup, main problem being that you have to have a dedicated length of rope just for the prussik loop shown there (which, incidentally, is tied using two of those "finishers", or half-fi...

Prusik knot is a highly useful knot for securing tarps to the ridge line http://www.netknots.com/files/4013/2990/8378/prusik-knot.jpg Animated how to can be found here http://www.netknots.com/rope_knots/prusik-knot/ ytUmQYtEmuY Trucker's hitch is also a very useful one (often used to tension a tarp ...

Yes the Japanese cloth folding is pretty cool stuff. https://furoshikiecoconcept.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/furoshiki_diagram.jpg Something to consider is Middle Earth/medieval Europe likely used things like Vellum for wrapping herbs into packets. But I would also imagine ceramic jars or wood jars ...

some of the greatest things are the simplest. This is pure awesome greatness.

Another great full kit addition. Looking really good on the wiki.

People who have issue with sheep wool tend to have no problem with Alpaca wool. Not to mention Alpaca wool is softer, warmer, weighs less, and since warmer tends to be less bulky.

Congrats Udwin, well deserved.
