I have done it. You will feel down on energy and generally awful for a bit then you will feel better and be able to fight just fine and your energy levels will be as good if not better then your base line.

That was my experience anyway.

Three of the THLs on that list are Knight Vigilants as well. I am very excited to watch this list play out.

On both of mine the left side goes first. She will make them go which ever way the customer likes.

A laurel friend of mine has started to make Mongolian Deels, hats, and some cool bead work. As she gets faster in production her prices are coming down. She has made me a linen and silk lined one and now a linen one to wear over my chain. Her patterns are based upon extant archaeology. Photography i...

Super high quality.

Athanaric

It was a good day.

Athanaric

That is exactly what I was talking about Ciaran

Athanaric

That is pretty damn sweet Cap'n. I really want to avoid the carport modern material thing. To all the rest, thank you...those were the answers I feared but expected. In terms of holding up in the weather...don't get much but hot here in the Mojave desert where most of the events we go to are held.

I am attempting to research tents for camping with my household and am having trouble finding a good early period communal tent. I don't really want to make an outsized Viking A frame. I like the dragon wings you see all over the SCA but am unaware of any historical providence of them and would pref...

Athanaric

Too many alpha dogs to run in one pack. Now there are more packs. Nothing going on has any impact on training to fight and fighting. In fact there seem to be even more events where you can do this stuff as a result of the dog fights. Nissan I believe has the right of it, anything else is just windo...

They weigh next to nothing, can stop nuclear weapons, and move like your skin. That is what makes them superior.

Athanaric

You are legal with out a gorget with an avaintail. It comes down to, do you feel safe? You are never absolutly safe...so it is a matter of your accepted rist and comfort level. A disk laced onto the back to cover your upper spine/neck region is easy to do, light, and comfortable so why not.

Athanaric

Nope, not Oz's helm. His is a stainless Aesir metalwerks with brass decorations and a stainless chain drape.

Athanaric

Depends on what you mean by do not like and the reason for the not liking. If I find someone generally annoying but have no misgivings about their fighting or safety I will fight them like I do everybody else. If I do not like them because they are an ass hat on the field, are unsafe, or beat up on ...

Sir Oz just got his armor stolen in Las Vegas NV. It is an Aesir spagen top helm with a chain drape and brass plaques, stainless lamellar, torvaldr basubands, and sir harun plastic legs. Pic attached. Be on the look out Thanks https://picasaweb.google.com/117913029521134275937/DropBox?authuser=0&aut...

bump, back from war.

Athanaric

bump. Will be on the road to Potrero war this afternoon and will not be checking this until I get back on Monday.

Athanaric

All good Sir Diglach.

Bump

Athanaric

correct. I had a pair of elk skin ropers riveted in at the wrist and sewn into the fingers. Worked well.

Athanaric

Cool.

Athanaric

Sure Not really sure how, so here goes my attempt...if you want something specific let me know. Knuckles: 5.5 in Wrist to knuckles: 4.5 in meaty part of the palm: 6 in index finger: 5 in middle finger: 5.5 in All measurements taken by laying a fabric tape measure into the gaunt. If you have big but ...

500$ OBO, Paypal only please. One pair of Leoric blackened mild steel finger gauntlets. These are fully grounding ( SCA legal) gauntlets with felted wool padding. These things are TANKS. I wore them in Poland for BOTN and I was completely un-injured. The fingers are all recently been rebuilt on new ...

With 10,000 plus spectators in attendance in fairly rural area the wifi and internet infrastructure in the area was taxed to its maximum. That was literally the best broadcast that could be done with out having a dedicated satellite uplink. @ Gustovic. The events were much closer this year. The 5 on...

Athanaric

Go to effigiesandbrasses.com...try to find two knights with the same kit....

Hint...you probably can't.

Athanaric

I have totally fallen arches and wear custom insoles in my size 12 Viking leather craft 14th cent 3 buckle boots with out issue.

Athanaric

Brother I am sorry to see you retire. You are one of the 29, a fearless master of mayhem, a man of unmatched style, and an all around stand up dude. It was a pleasure to share the field with you in Warsaw and I hope to find you in some melee at some war and lay timber.

Athanaric

It will be the ACL at Combat Con as far as I understand.

Athanaric

Indeed it is Baron Eirik.

Athanaric

This is a sweet rig. I have handled it, hit it, and watched it get made. Buy with absolute confidence in both this armour and the seller.

Athanaric

I will have to talk to Eronric about that...seems odd.

Athanaric

You may have bad info.... Last I knew a zoombang shirt was legal kidney protection in Caid. Who was the deputy that you spoke with?

Athanaric

The answer Sean is I am a filthy rich noble that cares not about the longevity of said items. Hell probably can't be seen twice in public with the same stuff on anyway.
