Blackoak, You'll also want to not use aluminum foil tape. That's not allowed. It's poorly written rule #1 of the weapons standard. Why did you use it? It just stuck out at not fitting in being all shiny. One week and I get to try it on live targets. How many layers of Rhinohide? I'm curious to see h...

I'm looking forward to when my shire's practice start back up in a couple of weeks, when college starts back up. I did show it to the shire marshal. The only thing he wasn't sure about was being able to use it unpadded. Thaddeus?

To address my concerns about the handle, I removed the brass wire wrapped around the handle. I then wrapped the handle in hemp twine then added about half the brass wire wrapped closely above that. The half look very pale compared to the handle and head. So, I lightly coated it in boilded linseed oi...

At the end of November, Blackoak had make two Kong maces for sale. I purchased the brass wire wrapped one. After a small email address mix up I was able to send payment. Dues to the Christmas season, the USPS projected 5 day pacel post shipping was just over two weeks. When it finally arrived the ru...

Here is Greenshield from the skin out.

Keep them coming.

Nope, They don't have to be edged.

B. Shields:
1. Shields shall be edged with leather or other padding, or constructed in such a way as to minimize the damage to rattan weapons or other fighters.

I wrote to the Siridean, did anyone else?

Seems he may have a few sets left, but is in Australia at the moment.

I am pretty close to out. I will double check and get back to you.

I am currently in Australia so this will take some time.

Thanks,

Siridean

How do I get shields over there? Can any one suggest a way to make centergrips that break down, say into two 12" by 24" pieces? There are a TON of smart people on this site, help me out? Thanks! Arundel (CPT Randy Short, Public Affairs Officer, 58th IBCT) Can't think of anything that woul...

I got the 8" ones, medium size I guess, to edge my shields. I got strips that were 12" to 18" out of each one.

You mean something like this for $10 with a 5"diameter with $2 going to The Armour Archive?

I'd be more interested in a 3" dia.

No, as hockey gloves are not covered by that item but the next item (IV.F.3). Though I am not sure how a hockey glove is equivalent to heavy leather lined with Â½ inch (12mm) of closed-cell foam or heavy padding.

I wear Crash Pads, style 1600 : http://crash-pads.com/product.aspx?dept=bike&style=1600

It still hurts, but I don't get the brusing, swelling and swelling anymore.

Try a search for low profile armour, hidden armour, or crash pads, you will come across topics like this. It has been talked about a few times before.

My first though on seeing the pictures was get some heavy fabric and make brig. So, I'll second that thought. Maybe flip the plates over so the flat side is against the fabric and made some kind of padded garment so she doesn't get nifty diamond plate patterned bruses.

This looks to be it, right?

We'd even consider vinyl or plastic options.

Okay, you said frugal... What's your budget?

What do you currently camp in?

Do you have beds or sleep on the ground?
Beds allow for storage space underneath, saving on floor space.
