Days of Knights
SirNathanQ:
I'm putting together a 13th century Templar kit together for this, and I've already arranged to be bunking with the other Templars in attendance (a few other guys from the Military Orders group I'm in)
Basically what I need is a Templar Surcoat and Cappa Clausa, plus a Mantle. Then I need to finish my shields, get a helm, and a possibly try to work up a Coat of Plates and Polyens and Coutars. Also some undershirts, braies and chausses, and some finishing details, like a Paternoster and such.
I have a chest which I need to repaint, and maybe I need to get some medieval camp furniture.
And of course transportation. That'll be the most difficult :P
Sir Wolf:
418 mi - about 7 hours 24 mins one way. hmmm prius gets 48 say miles to the gallon. still thats what, $72 bucks in gas. ug. it would get even less when packed full of gear.
it really sounds fun. i wonder how many knights/ camps they get.
Sir Edward:
Yeah, I'm still keeping this in mind as a possibility. But I have so many other things going on this year, and I'm really lacking on the encampment accessories. On the other hand, this is an off-year for WMAW which normally runs around that same time of year, and also I do have the panther pavilion.
My kits would need a little work to be more authentic, depending on what I do. If I were to aim for 15th C, I've got my plate armor, but not much else to wear when I'm not kitted up. Otherwise I'd consider doing a late 13th C Teutonic knight, for which I'd need a new surcoat, and consider a long-sleeved hauberk as well.
Hey, do you know if there's any period art showing Teutonic knights of the day using kettle helms? I do have one.
Sir Brian:
I have a Teutonic surcoat you can borrow Sir Edward. :)
Sir Edward:
That's certainly an option! I was thinking more along the lines of the straight-lined crosses in the Osprey books. But GDFB also has a linen Cross-Pattee version (via KoA):

So I have multiple options in addition to making one.
