Title: Some pics from Halloween
Post by: merc3065 on 2011-11-24, 15:59:35
Some pics from the last event I went to was their "Malloween" event at the Bayfield Mall in Barrie Ontario.

I must remember to put the gorget on correctly next time.  I had it on backwards the whole day and it really made things uncomfortable and I didnt figure out why until after I saw the pictures...

I was able to borrow someone's helmet for the long sword demonstrations that I participated in.

The helmet I borrowed didn't fit me 100% correctly so it was very difficult to see out of unless I held my head forward.  I can't wait until I get my own that fits properly and is adjustable.

Merc, very cool...this is the sort of thing we want to get more involved in- public displays of affection of the type we're all familiar with!  Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic. Yeah, we definitely need to start doing historical demos and the like.

Very cool Merc3065! I am envious of your group! It is my sincere hope and wish that our order starts doing this in the near future. – Last weekend’s cutting party and practice was in my mind at least a feasibility test for getting some of us together. I think it is very doable and heartily agree with my brethren in that we need to start moving in this direction of conducting demonstrations and historical presentations.

Most definitely Sir Nathan, I regret we ran out of time last weekend because I wanted to swing some steel at you!  ;)

Alright!  :)

Curse the lack of sunlight, I'd have liked a steel bout as well!  ;D

Same here...but it was probably just as well that we didn't.  I came away with the knowledge that I needed to invest in my own protective gear, learn to fight in it regularly and to join either VAF or MASHS to learn more.  ;)

Yeah. I've bouted with steel before, so I'd be fine with it. Although you can never have enough safety or knowledge  ;)
On the order of Safety, I'd prefer to have that bout wearing my plate  :)

(BTW, Merc, you might want to watch chewing up your wooden wasters on yuor steel plate harnesses. I know I wouldn't want to eat up my nice Hollow Earth that way)

That would be prudent on both accounts! ;)
