Lmao no no, I would have probably put a warning up if that was the case, plus honestly I’m not a huge fan of hunting younger animals of it isn’t a survival necessity.

I creep along very slowly, but I'm not giving up. Even with modern gear and limited time I can still go out and do picnics on my lunch break in the canyon close to my office, so that's what I did today That's the best attitude one can have and honestly one I struggle with myself. Always waiting for...

Here is the first actual pictures of my kit, also included are my dogs sniffing around because they smelled my lunch from the hike I went on previously. I have my linen tunic and cotton 'braise', I took a pair of costume ren fest pants and cut the laced section on the calf off, allowing for essentia...

Pictures from my hike today in a state forest near me, got very close to these little porkers and was able to take some cool shots. Also some pictures of my lunch and knife/axe combo https://i.imgur.com/5Kcv43W.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IuF5j1c.jpg https://i.imgur.com/su7ynZM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/g...

Welcome! I currently reside in south ithilien, which is similar to florida in the common tongue, this Texas sounds similar in climate so if I’d love to compare how to stay cool out in the wilds

I'm all for the dried sausages. I hunt down cacciatore and they are brilliant as both a snacking food and then added to the pot at the end of the day. In a pinch I will still use dried beef but the fats and flavours of the sausages turn a bland stew into a savoury one. As to the bannocks.... I am e...

Mae govannen my fellow rangers. As I am establishing myself here in Ithilien I felt it was time to offer a more thorough introduction. Erfaron I was named, and Erfaron I remain, growing up in the northern lands with my brother, sister and mother while my father ranged the lands with the rest of the ...

Im currently taking a course in ceramics analysis for my archaeology minor, and one of the 'labs' involves making pottery One thing I decided to make is based on the grease lamp found at birka, though I rounded and smoothed it more and incised it with a pattern based on Elleth's numenorean leaf-arc...

So I got the Andy Serkis audiobook, 100/10 recommend if you haven’t listened to them, and somehow when I originally read and reread the fellowship I completely missed the whole “prologue” where Tolkien talks about the Shire, in that he mentions how most of the hobbits are relatively insular in econo...

Welcome, Ranger! I, too, am from the nether region known by it's modern name as 'Florida"...north central, to be exact. :P Rob Nether region is an accurate description, actually had a question then, if you do overnighters in kit, do you do a minimalist shelter? If so how do you feel about bugs...

Welcome! Ithilien sounds a perfect place for reference. Are you assuming Faramir's company then? That is my plan as of this time, I come from the north originally so I was thinking of having a dunedain that moved south and stayed for some reason, my personal choice is that he fell in love with a go...

Greetings and good tidings to all my fellow rangers and other folk. I am just starting on this grand adventure, currently picking and writing up my persona, and will take any welcome, tips and tidbits on how to begin. Located in west/central FL, so im thinking a southern Ithilien might be my best ch...

Hello! I just joined the ranks and live in central florida, very interested in someone to help me learn the ropes, if you are still looking to connect with other “southern ithiliens”
