Re: The Elves! The elves! What are we going to do with the Elves!
Breeches and hosen/socks seem quite universal in the north. Anyone have examples of breech-like wear that look elven. If I remember correctly from a book about the American Revolution, in colonial North America, the knee breech and hose was a specific mix. The breeches were very often deer hide lea...

Great concept for a persona. We take literacy for granted in our modern society.

Re: All plants, animals, food, etc. mentioned in The Hobbit
I was recently pondering what herbs and spices would be appropriate for an authentic kit, and after some semi-random keyword searches through the text of The Hobbit and LOTR , decided to spring for the book Flora of Middle-Earth , mentioned above by Straelbora. Some portions redacted. Absence of ev...

Custom sword arrived!
My custom sword arrived! I wanted something that looked like a Viking sword, but for Rangering, the size of a Roman gladius. Our own Eric C put heart and soul into the project, and I couldn't be happier. You'll note his mark, I F, for Ichthean Forge, on the blade. A close up of the grip shows a dark...

Great video clip. You need to find some Orcs for the next one.

Re: Cloak storage?
It either becomes a rolled-up pillow or a blanket (or additional blanket).

Re: Dunedáin Waxed Leather Water Bottle
Beautiful work, but to be honest, I'm at the point where when I'm thirsty, I don't want to be imbibing small bits of wax. Maybe I'm just too clumsy.
Although heavier, when I'm on the trail, I use class bottles that have been wrapped in wicker, along with a wicker handle.

Re: Been A While...
I think the best threads over the last couple of years have been:
Why didn't they use the Eagles to fly the Ring to Mt. Doom?
Is Tauriel in the movies as good a character as Tauriel in the book?
Can a Hobbit Ranger still manage seven or eight meals a day?

Re: Finally an understanding and a name
I think Tolkien himself understood all too well your journey. It was called shell shock a century ago, but had the same impact on people. Frodo's pain on the anniversay of the wound from the Morgul blade on Weathertop, I believe, was allegory for the psychic pain brought on by the war. Those of us w...

Re: Sleighs and other winter transport? And fur jackets
As mentioned above, medieval Europe, from our point of view, seems unpopulated and 'wild,' but forests were very controlled commodities, including the lumber and hunted animals, not just meat, but feathers, leather, and furs. As to sleds and sleighs, even though not explicitly mentioned, frankly, th...
