Wow, that's cool (and sucks). Why can't they have one of the camp-outs at MDRF? :)

lol cause we're in WV duh! lol

cub scouts up here is a lot smaller than it was when i was in many years ago. it could be the area but i think time has sure changed things. our council is combining with another council, they are closing the area camp ground and selling off a ton of old stuff. the entire pack might have 45-50 kids in it. seems sad, i remember my pack growing up had like 100=150 in it. prob just a sign of the times. but he is gonna have fun. he's prob the youngest in his den and is super excited to have "just dad" stuff to do. lol

sorry guys about the faire. we did make VARF though

Sorry you won't be able to make it Sir Wolf.  :(

Sir James I will be happy to help you armor up if I make it in time. I always suit up to about 80% of kit, including hauberk and chausses,  before leaving the house. If I ever get pulled over, I will have a lot of explaining to do....

Non-sense. You simply say to the bewildered officer that your horse is in the shop & this rental is all you could get. :) That should explain everything.  ;D

Looks like it may be even warmer than the prediction Sir Brian cited earlier in the week, ugh.  I'm toying with light kit this Sunday and then fully armor up for the 20th, but am wavering.  Can't be hotter that what we endured at Drachenfest (40 C +) - hmmm...

Either way, also happy to help out James - what time were you planning to get there?  Would you need a lift?

It would be possibly next Sunday, but barring things beyond my control, also on the 20th (closing Sunday). I'll be shooting for 9:15 or 9:30 arrival; I can get about halfway suited up on my own (sabatons, greaves, cuisses, mail fauld, gorget, half of the cuirass - I can get it on but not completely strapped). I primarily need help getting the cuirass strapped down, getting the arms on, and the helmet. The walk across the parking lot, depending on distance from the gate, may be a bit taxing, and I need to purchase entrance ticket there, so I'm putting some "stop and rest a minute" time in there. :) Appreciate the offers for help gentlemen!

Yeah definitely no armor for me tomorrow! I’ll be wearing a kilt.

As something new this year Sir James they have the rickshaws running in the parking lot to the front gate so if you bring some extra cash they could be just what you need after you’ve armored up! ;)
