Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh and BTW. The guys who are looking all scottish and stuff? That's a common portrayal around here due to how many Scottish indentured servants continued their way of life from the homeland in Ohio on the frontier free from British cultural oppression.

There's even an instance of Colonel Patton in the French and Indian War during a Shawnee raid in what's now west virginia taking his family's claymore sword and running out to fend off the attacking tribesmen from the settlement with it.

I saw some stuff about the black powder clubs doing some frontier reenactments in Australia in a shooting mag so you'd have to look into a few of them to make sure.

It is really fun. Handles is a fun game. But it's always good to have a blanket trader in the camp so you can buy more handles in case you have yours split.

And it's interesting I should bring up trading. I've traded for most of my gear. All of it would cost upwards of 2000 dollars but I don't think I've spent more than 100 bucks on all of it.

Well I've got my trapper's beret.

My buckskin vest and leggings. I have some elkskin moccasins. I also have my possibles pouch where I keep some supplies I may need on a trek or something (extra bandages, medicine, trail mix, jerky, fir starting kit). Then there's my elk and buckskin leggings and my breechclout. I have several of those but my red and black one's my favorite because I sewed in some buckskin to make it easier on the groin so it's a bit more comfortable when it's all you have to wear for a few days. I have a wide brimmed cowhide belt with a cast iron buckle that I've had for about 8 years now.

Also I have a trading knife (used historically to trade with the Great Lakes region Indian Tribes) and my bowie which is hand made and all. I also have a trunk where I keep all of my extra things such as my canvas shirt and some cotton knee high socks (trust me they may sound girly but they save your knees and legs from being rubbed raw from my leggings.). I also keep some books and stuff in there too. I have a buffalo skin as well which you can see me sitting on in one of the pictures. Buffalo skin's expensive as hell but I worked a guy down on a really good trade knife for it.

Anywhere from a weekend to two weeks.

And we pack food with us before the trip like a normal camping trip. Just cook it over a fire and stuff. All of it being period foods as well.

The picture in the first post however. I'm like dead tired from being up late the night before and getting drunk and then having to go out early in the morning to chop wood and get water.

I... despise... Moron... Tourists....=_@'''';;;;

I've done that too. XD

Hell I heard some idiot woman telling her son that all of the fires in the camp were connected on gas manes.

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THIS GIANT THOUGHT OF A FIRE HAZARD!

Seriously. XD

God I hate people sometimes. XP
