Kind of surprised that Steve SoFC and Glen K aren't in on this order...or any of the RA North America folks, for that matter...

I am half tempted, but since I don't think I'll be doing much in that time period I will pass this go around. I would think Glen and Jesse would be all up for it, though.

The Viking/Norman era holds very little interest for me.

Warren:

I spoke to a friend of mine who's involved with Regia North America, and he told me that he'd make people who post to their Yahoogroups list aware of this offer (and this thread). I'd imagine quite a number of those folks who're doing the Saxon or Norman portrayals would jump at this offer.

Any further news?

Some of us RA NA folks might buy a geteld from these folks at some point, but the locals I know have made their own...

What is the status on the tents?

Hi all, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The tents will be completed and mailed by the middle of next week. As this is the first time the manufacturer has made this style of tent, they had to build a proto type to make sure they had all the dimensions correct. I just called the manufacturer and they are sewing them up right now, so, they will be sent out to you from the factory by next Wednesday there abouts.

Thanks for the update Warren,

Hi folks,

Ok, just another update from the manufacturer, due to a power outage, they had no heat for about a week and subsequently production is delayed by two weeks. I will update you as I have more information.

This is just as well.

My final payment will be mailed Friday, and tracking information will be sent, as per usual.

Thanks for your efforts in this endeavor.

Hi all, ok, here is what you are going to get in the mail, minus the snow

We field tested this tent last weekend. Set up on dry ground, and it rained and snowed overnight. We were dry and toasty, if not a little cool out side, about 27 F.

This is the prototype, and with a few minor tweeks, to this model, we are on the way.

The prototype is for sale too. We are letting it go for the same price, even though it cost a lot more to have made because of all the detailing the first time out.

Again, 10 oz sungforger, flame, water mildew resistant, braided cotton loops. 10 x 16 footprint. No poles or pegs, but instructions for making them. 499.00 US tax and shipping included.

This one would be great for SCA, but because of a couple of innaccuracies, not that great for living history. So, first come first served on this,

Contact Wolverinesports@theedge.ca

Brrrrr....Oct. 24 and snow on the ground? It's been in the 70's here and I've been working outdoors in a teeshirt. The Great White, ehh? You Canukes are crazy....

Yup...29 degrees Fahrenheit and 6" of snow on the ground--but it's one hell of a field test...

UPDATE: Final Prototype approved. Production run starting.

Tents will be mailed out surface post from the factory.

Thanks,

Warren

Garth · Post by **Garth** » Fri Nov 05, 2004 9:18 am

Any idea when they will be shipped?

Thanks,

Templar Bob/De Tyre · Post by **Templar Bob/De Tyre** » Sat Nov 06, 2004 9:33 am

Yes...I, too am curious when the getelds will ship. Painting and carving the "beast-heads" for the ridge-pole will be one of my winter projects. Stenciling the canvas is pretty high on my list as well--but I'd really love to set the geteld up before the snows fall.

I already have the ash for the uprights and the ridge-pole in my basement, waiting.... :wink:

I called the factory again today and they are still being sewed. So, I will keep you posted daily as soon as I know.

Tents are going out. Tents ordered by US customers are being mailed first I am told. I will email you with a tracking number as they come available to me from the factory.

You should have information by Friday the 26th of November.

Crazy? You don't know the half of it; after a couple cups of coffee, we went out and FOUGHT!

Hi, well, tents have been shipped to US customers. The tracking numbers went into the system today so give it a day or two to update. You have been emailed your tracking number bob and garth. Others will follow as I have them.

Thanks, waiting on your feedback.
