Modern tents are a no-go for DoK.  This could present a problem for me.  I cannot commit to the event because I cannot just assume my leave will be approved when it's still almost 3 months away, and it looks like hotels will be full by the time I can actually give a good yes or no... grrr... Master Hughes has offered some period tent space, but I don't want to impose and have him hold space for me when I can't even commit to the event just yet.  I suppose I can sleep in my vehicle! haha :)

Anyway, if anyone was going to try to camp in modern gear, find alternate arrangements.

Well, We can always make more room in my tent. It's 12'x15', so my queen-sized air mattress fits in just one quadrant of it.

My sleeping bag won't take up much room, so you should be fine.  :)

Though as you are sleeping in Teutonic tentspace, you may have to get used to being addressed as mitbruder!  ;D

Here's a wild idea...why not sleep out in the open?  Weather should be fine, right?  Of course, its easy for me to suggest as I'll not be doing it.  I hope to be able to attend this event with you fellows one day.

Registered (+squire), Burgundian encampment

BTW, on the FB page, they mentioned the Vikings sailing some viking ships on the water nearby. Sounds interesting!

Once I get some pictures of my (new) gear, I'll register. Looking to in the next 2 days or so.

I need someone to camp with because I do not have a tent nor can afford one at the moment as I spent all my money on armor and new arming clothes. Would it be OK for me to camp with the Order of the Marshal's tent site? And what do I need to have for my kit? I mean I know I need eating utensils and bowls which I probably could afford. Need to know this info soon as I got to pre register for my place in this event.

Well, I already have folks crashing in mine, so I think mine is out of space. Not sure about everyone else's though. Some of the other DoK folks might also have some space. It's worth asking.

Yeah I dont really have any place to go, didnt prepare with tents, I spent all my money on my kit instead. The main reason I am asking is because I need to write down what tent I need to register for the event.
