So, this would be acceptable as part of kit or baggage?

Cool!

I think it would especially work in a Hobbitish or Breelander context, but is defensible outside of that.
I can't tell - is the barrel full round, or oval/flat? I think both were used, but the latter would be a lot easier to carry.

However personally I'd -
- replace the metal bands with wood ones
( http://pyracy.com/index.php?/topic/1620 ... rel-hoops/ )
- strap off the varnish and oil the wood
- replace the cork with a wooden stopper
- possibly replace the carriage - at least give it a good oiling

Looks fine to me, although I'd wonder about its weight (4 lbs)...
There are no safe paths in this part of the world. Remember you are over the Edge of the Wild now, and in for all sorts of fun wherever you go.
