Right then. That's me. There's a mixture of medieval and colonial in that picture. Drawstring pants and the soft high mocs...SCA pieces. Osnaburg shirt, haversack, powder horn, bedroll, and belt axe all colonial longhunter pieces.
They are not so different as one might think. If I had my quiver and bow with me and traded my hunting horn for the powder horn, perhaps a hood for the hat...a Ranger would be standing there.
The bedroll and pouches combination appeal to me far more than the more commonly used backpack. Simpler, often lighter, it does the job and does it well.
Either way, the scouting and the tracking and trailing, the hunting..all of that is the same. Just the weapons and some of the clothing is different..and even with the clothing a LOT of it is really just stylistic in difference.
It has been a curious thing, finding the commonalities and watching the differences diminish.
Food for thought.
