Re: New Finds- Please read the first post before replying

The axe and non migration sword were my focal points (I liked the spear but it was a bonus.) I have a nice hewing spear already. The offer stands, I would love to do some work for you, say the word! Whatever I can do would be my pleasure. :mrgreen: I'll let you know if I buy it. Your leather work i...

Re: New Finds- Please read the first post before replying

And now I will sit down and cry! This set would have been perfect for me (plus the migration sword, which etched and given a tooled sheith could have been sold to offset the rest.) Wonder if he is into trade? Looks like the guy wants to sell it as a set; I'm mostly interested in the spear head and ...

Re: Another ranger out of the woodwork

Well-met, friends! I found this refuge some months ago and have been lurking in the shadows all winter, but no more! This first day of Summer (by the Old calendar) brings me out of the shadows. I hail from the hills of Kantuckee, from a farm on the banks of the great river Ohio, eighteen leagues be...

Agreed. And in our days of superabundance, we forget that cloth and leather was used and reused and repurposed until it was pretty much worn out of existence.

Re: Dunedain Lembas Bread Experiment

[quote="wulfgar"]I have found another recipe that I am going to try in "Simple Foods For The Pack", put out by The Sierra Club. It's for ANZAC biscuits, said to have been fresh when delivered to troops in WW1 after an 8 week boat ride. And I suspect Tolkien came into contact with...

Re: A Song of Ice and Fire books.

No rough percentage is given, but many are criminals. Then again, it can be their chance to redeem themselves. Funny timing on this; I just picked up the first season from the library. Not bad, from what I've seen so far. I considered the books to be unfilmable, but that isn't the case. It's not an...

I'm sure a few of you are with striking distance so good luck if you can make it.
No way- it's in Georgia. I've been watching that documentary series about Georgia, "The Walking Dead." Not worth 15% off.

Re: Sword Preference?

Of all of the swords I have carried and worked with over the years, I always come back to the shortsword. Always. Fast, efficient, effective, and direct. No wasted motion or energy. With shield, or with another weapon, they are the sword of choice for me and always will be. Of them all, two stand o...

Re: Russ pants for the "Southern Ranger"

Have you been watching the History Channel's "Vikings?" (Episodes are available online at their website.)

There was a Swedish Earl wearing Russ pants in last night's episode.
