Re: WTB: Travel armor bag
Duke Paul has a guide for making a breakdown travel heater (somewhere here on the Archive).
A Flyers Kit Bag (Military Surplus) is a good travel armour bag or a rolling hockey bag.
You can reduce weight in your bag by putting your helm & gaunts into your carry on.

Halberds Beginners Kit - still available?
Is Halberds still selling the Beginners Kit?
if yes,
- What comes with the kit now?
- How much is it?
- Are there any additional tools that are a "must have" for simple helms, etc?

Im currently at 'scenic' Camp Patriot in Kuwait. Was wondering if anyone had some extra Rattan Swords and hilts (SCA) they could donate and send my way?

Give the folks at HE a call. They are nice folks.
Also, you still may want to DIY. Give the folks at Resurrecting History a call. Their patterns are really good, and they are more than willing to 'talk you off the ledge' of frustration.
