Re: Any tunic patterns?

The pattern is an Anglo-Norman pattern so linen and wool are right. The length can be adjusted longer or shorter as desired. I usually make mine about knee length or a little longer since I play an 8th c Saxon in the SCA...once it is belted it reaches to just above the knee. For shirts that I wear u...

Re: Hammocks?

Many years ago I used to have a jungle hammock that was surplus Army issue. It basically was a piece of nylon (canvas could be used) about 2-3 feet wide about 6 and a half feet long with tubes sewn into both ends. The rope was passed thru the tubes and had a loop one one end that the rest of the rop...

Re: Carolinas

The Army has me in Missouri during the Highland Games...and I was really looking forward to attending.

Re: Carolinas

Now that the oxygen thing is settled, and the location is mostly settled- wait, R.D. make sure to plant replacement O2 bottles around the trails- Now we need a definite time. Since this is a weekend trip, I should be able to do it whenever. But let me see if the new schedule is up at work or not. J...

Re: Talbots Boots and renboots??

forgive me for the OT question....but am I the only one here who has opted for modern boots with the rest of their more "period" clothing? I still wear my modern boots for the move into an area, but my mocs are in the bag and I change for around camp...they are comfortable but not my firs...
