Re: S.W.O.R.D. 2021 anyone?
Feel free to start Taylor. I’ll join the fray with one of my other blades until the new one is complete.

Re: A quick flourish
Somebody over on the Facebook group had a question about my standard ranger sword so I threw together this quick little flourish to give some perspective. Nothing fancy. The sword is an upgraded Hanwei Great Sword of War for all who want to know. I rewrapped the handle and reprofiled the blade from...

Re: MERF Random Adventure Pictures
The cloak is a cheap cotton one that I picked up to use as a test. I treated it with a mix of linseed oil and beeswax. It worked well enough that I think I will invest in some good quality linen and make one better tailored. It’s a good addition for trekking in the warmer months. Interesting! I'd...

Re: MERF Random Adventure Pictures
I was able to get out for a bit today using my light set up. Not counting my belt contents the rest is limited to just a market wallet that contains a wooden bowl and enough food for a day or two, water skin, bed roll ,and bow/quiver. The market wallet also holds my pipe and tobacco pouch while the ...

Re: Joining the need wallet club
What's going on with the shoulder strap tiedown I see higher up? Is there a hole or two through one of the straps to hold that binding in place? Correct, two holes on the bottom side. It is actually used as an anchor point to tie the straps of my water skin, bedroll strap, and quiver strap together...

Re: Joining the need wallet club
I’m actually kind of wondering now if it make make more sense to just let the leather case be just that - a case - and then inside that case there would be a much softer, lighter-weight package, either made of waxed cloth or some sort of thin, weatherproofed leather like oiled goatskin. This woul...

Re: Summer 2020 available now!
For what it’s worth on the subject of traction I think much of the problem can stem from the soles not being broken in. Some makers like Bohemond seem to coat the soles of their product with some sort of sealant that makes them quite slippery at first. My advice would be to get them nicely broken ...

No one of consequence. Just another down on his luck traveller tending his meager fire.

Re: A Ranger's Pantry
Top notch as always Greg! I’ll second what Odigan said to you about eating less. For what it’s worth Ruinar I also eat much less when on the trail. In fact during the MERS October trek I only cooked one meal which was breakfast on our first morning out. Other than that I tend to eat many small s...

Re: Cloak storage?
I tend to tie mine up in a horseshoe and sling it over one arm or wear it like I do my bedroll.
