when packing for DotK:

The day that the appellant and defendant shall fight what they shall have with them in the field:


A tent must be put in the field.
Also a chair
Also a basin
Also vi loaves of bread
Also ii gallons of wine.
Also a mess of meaty flesh or fish
Also a board and a pair of trestles to set his meat and drink on.
And a board cloth
Also a knife for cutting his meat.
And a cup to drink of
Also a glass with a drink made
Also a dozen tresses of arming points.
Also a hammer and a nails and a bicorn
Also a dozen small nails
Also a spear a long sword, short sword and a dagger.
Also a kerchief to the visor of his bascinet.
Also a penant to bear in his hand of his avowed [patron saint].

Aw crap... I've only packed 3 loaves of bread...  ;)

Seriously though, that's a pretty good packing list even for a current reenactment event.

I believe it's from "How a Man Shall Be Armed"?

I'm working on a list for myself, I'll probably post it up when I've fleshed out some more details on it soon

I don't even know what a bicorn IS, much less where to get one.  lol

I don't see anything about mead or ale...just wine.  What if I don't want wine?

Just because you don't want wine, there's no need to 'whine' about it, Sir William. :) Enjoy the beverage for what it is. Besides, liking wine is not going to make you FRENCH. Running from a fight might.  ;D

Lord Dane, you're having a go at Sir Edward again, for what I myself have said.  Perhaps we 'read' alike?  At least we don't look alike, eh?  And I generally don't like wine...I hear its an acquired taste that sadly, I have yet to acquire.  Most of the wines I've tried that I was told were 'good' or even in a case or two, 'great', were nothing of that sort as far as my tastebuds were concerned.  lol

Corrected. Perhaps you need to spend more time in the "Knightly Vintage" section of this forum trying some of my favorite cavas ('Segura Viudas' for example is an excellent & cheap Spanish white sparkling wine) :)
Maybe if you spend enough time drinking some, you'll overcome tastebud concerns. Come to Kingdom & we'll do it up hardily to help with this.  Don't worry about becoming FRENCH either from drinking wine as it requires that you run from a fight as well for that to occur.  ;D

I have always associated wine with the French (and women lol), Lord Dane...perhaps that explains my inherent dislike for it.  ;)

Still...I'll check a couple of them out as my wife's somewhat of a wine enthusiast.

A bicorn (I think it's spelled wrong, but I don't know the right spelling) is a blacksmithing / armoring tool, T-shaped, that would go in the square hole on an anvil. I *think* it's a generic term and would cover multiple styles/shapes/sizes of any T-shaped tool, but I'm sure Allan could verify or correct.

That line of the hammer, nails and bicorn is for on-site armor repairs - nails refers to what we call rivets, which I've seen called "arming nails" - think of our little portable "emergency armor repair" kits. Fixing a blown-out strap, etc.

Ah, I get it now...emergency repairs of course.  It sounded funky to me as I'd never heard or read that term before.

Hey look, boxes!



This one is a tent - and a *heavy* tent. The box says over 70 lbs, for just the canvas. Hopefully that means "doesn't leak water". :D



5 poles for the main tent, 3 for the fly, 12 big stakes for the 6 perimeter poles .. small stakes for the lower edges of the tent, I believe? And some rope to tie it down with.



Won't be able to get any "assembled" pictures until next weekend when I have the squire here. While I wait .. should I stain the support poles? The rest of the wooden interior furniture is stained .. not sure if it's correct to stain the poles or not too.

Looks like a project, Sir James. I just finished staining a chair for my pavilion to match the table I already posted. Things are coming along & I will set it up next week possibly Monday w/ all the interior. :) Everything looks good to go. Can't wait to see it.

then while you have down time, paint your poles. trust me. it will seal them and it will give an extra flair that will make the inside of your tent pop!
