Sir Matthew:
With my wife joining the 16/17th century group I reenact with, I'm learning quite a bit about cooking and encampment equipment. She's doing a camp follower and will be responsible for cooking and period civillian demos, so she is doing alot of research on food, cooking, sewing, spinning, and other things women did in the camps and in general. So far we have some tableware, pots and other cooking accessories. I'm lacking table, chairs, benches and large tent as I never needed them before. I only recently added an A frame tent to my equipment, since I never really needed one. Now our unit is looking to do events where we will be setting up a camp and staying on site for the weekend, so I thought it prudent to at least have something to sleep in. I also got a couple wool blankets to use to sleep in. This year for School of the Musketeer I'm planning to go immersion, only taking period items to use for the weekend. Past years I've dressed period and used period tableware, but slept in a modern sleeping bag inside the forts casemate. This year I'll use the blankets on a pallet inside the casement. Hopefully I survive this experiment :-\
Sir William:
I am so not ready for this aspect of re-enacting, although I wanna be.
Sir Matthew, just make sure it is understood that she is YOUR camp follower. ;)
Sir Edward:
Yeah, the trestle tables can be exceedingly simple in construction. I plan to make one or two, probably more simplistic than the link above. Perhaps like this:

And a similar end-table:

I figure with some painting and/or staining, they'll look decent enough. However some sort of table cloth or runner might be good.
In the meantime, I also now have some Edward I era coin replicas on the way. I already have some eating gear (wooden bowls, wooden goblet, etc), but I may look into some eating knives.
Sir William:
Chamber pots!!! That's one thing I don't see anyone making allowances for...modern plumbing has made us lazy! lol
