Re: Dwarven Bocksten Inspired cloak
Wow Iodo! You have really outdone yourself with this cloak! I love following the progress of your kit. You take so much time researching and developing ways for your kit to really fit into the cultural identity of the dwarves. It is a fascinating process to watch and read about. I just wish I was a...

Musings on Mirkwood
I am no bard nor skald of great renown, nor have I tried my hand at verse for many winters. But I hope this will amuse, even in its unfinished state. I will most likely add to it as I get inspired. Beneath green boughs do I dwell Where the forest buds do swell A cup of good, sweet tasting wine The g...

Re: Musical Insturments
I play the Irish tin whistle, or penny whistle. I also am learning the chanter, which is essentially bagpipes but without the bag...or the pipes.... I don't find I bring instruments to our group events much though. Mostly because we have several actual musicians in our group, including one who plays...

Re: Rider of Rohan (or Foot Soldier of Rohan)
So first of all jbook your horse is beautiful! What is his or her name? Very good job researching and taking cues both from Anglo Saxon history/images as well as the amazing illustration done of the Rohirrim by that god among men Alan Lee. You are spot on with those images of Eorlingas daily wear! I...

Re: Thieves Wash - My 14th Century "Hand Sanitizer"
Like a lot of people, I first heard of the legend of the Four Thieves because of Gary Young's use of it in marketing his Young Living products. I hold particularly strong views on him and his MLM enterprise, which in full disclosure I will say are not positive. That doesn't negate the legend itself...

Re: Thieves Wash - My 14th Century "Hand Sanitizer"
With Brandy or Vodka, I gotta ask, What are you cleaning the insides or the outsides ? :D A little sand from a stream bed will also provide some cleaning effect for the hands and extremities. Won't want to use it on any more sensitive areas though. Your lemon or orange peel wiped on the face will r...

Thieves Wash - My 14th Century "Hand Sanitizer"
As we all know, cleanliness while ranging is key to ensuring that we are all fighting fit. Though it often gets forgotten as an important component for our kits. Less so for day tripping with your gear, but especially when camping for an extended period of time. Even if it is only a one night camp, ...

Re: An quick experiment with archery technique
And why I can't carry a bow with my kit, simple answer, UK weapon law :( Oh right! Yes that law always seemed odd to me. Especially when you consider the history of England and the importance of the bow. But I always thought it was just a hunting related law? Or are you worried that if you carry a ...

Re: An quick experiment with archery technique
Fantastic job Iodo! Such a great way to test your skills in a more realistic environment. I always prefer doing archery at clubs or ranges when there aren't many people around, It really allows you to practice the skills that you want. Plus no limits on how many arrows you can shoot! I always prefer...

Re: A proper Dúnedain waterskin..
Ruinar, I'm sure the vendors above would be happy to turn out another one. It might be a bit more doing a one-off, but it wouldn't be too much worse. (you could also order more than one from them at once, and keep a spare handy for when your first is finally worn out) Good call Elleth, I may also s...
