Re: ''desert ranger''

My summer setup, while similar to my fall/winter/spring kit in most respects, is partially tan/beige, replacing the dark green and brown of my tunic and pants. In the part of northern california where I am, the hills are primarily golden wheat colored; the grass dies off after about 6 weeks of green...

Re: Some more questions...

If I had access to a brig I'd probably wear it. It won't swish or jingle like Maille does (my maille shirt is perfectly quiet...until we start talking about the sleeves; they're short, so they swish fairly regularly) so it'd be far easier to move silently in. In addition, they typically come in mate...

Trekking Hygiene - Now with 100% less scouring pads

All joking in Pete's previous thread aside, I've found myself coming back from treks with some seriously nasty teeth. I discovered something that is going to become a regular part of my kit, until I find a natural tooth cleanser in my area. We don't have mint or anything like that around here, so I'...

Re: Arrows

Just a quick question... At the moment my arrows are 11/32 for a fiberglass recurve bow (saving up for a nice wood longbow!), quite small flights and small bodkins. Should I really be using bigger tougher ones like ones for a longbow? 11/32" arrows are fine for just about any traditional bow. ...

Re: Whats your program for ranger fitness?

Spend a day with me at the lake once a week, Dave, and that'll be easier than you think...I can drag you all over the place to all manner of terrain that just looks painful... ;)

Re: Ranger Cloak Colour

My fall/winter cloak is a grey cloak made of heavy wool. Unlike my shorter cloak, this one comes down to mid-calf, and is rectangular. By propping up the hood on the end of my bow or a spear/stick and staking the corners or tying them to trees, it makes a perfect shelter at night and in the evening...

Re: Whats your program for ranger fitness?

Good stuff, Willrett! I'm setting up hay bales in my new backyard in the next week or so so that I can shoot whenever I want. I expect my long hiatus from shooting to not only come to an end, but I expect my accuracy levels to go through the roof, metaphorically. However, I'm wanting to set up a log...

Most excellent! I like seeing an axe "coming out" of a railroad spike; it's a cool image.

Re: Deal for anyone who needs a bag!!!!

Greg, that pic is the ration pack that attaches to the top of the bag. If I'm right, you have the same bag as me, which is this one: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x308/nodney1/1-Ruck.jpg Yep, that's the one. See the little leather "belt loop" on the side? I stitched a second one abov...
