Re: The Nights Watch@The New York Renaissance faire.

Re: The Nights Watch@The New York Renaissance faire.

I would absolutely love to be there. We're having a baby in May. ... ... ... Yeah. What's the date of this event? Do you have some specific garb guidelines you'd like to be followed?

The Nights Watch@The New York Renaissance faire.

Hello all, So it's no secret I take my family to the faire every year. We've been going for maybe a decade now. The whole lot of them dress up and have a god time.

Re: Scenario - January 2014

Assuming its January, so winter? If that's so the rivers out of the question (Provided its even close enough to get to before being overtaken) I'd try and make a false trail to split up the hounds and try and take them down once the odds were more in my favor.

I wish it weren't the case but weight training is by far the quickest, most effective way to develop strength, power, athleticism agility and any other athletic quality.
