Today

On scout this morning, or will be soon. Use-faded green tunic-shirt, well-used black drawstring pants, the same hood and mocs as in the other pictures, forest green belt, belt pouches, quiver, cased bow, knife, and the bedroll.

I am going to experiment with combining the bedroll with the quiver and/or pack for a bit and see where that leads. With this will be a variety of belt pouches and/or shoulder bags. I am going to see which of them suit me best and are most efficient and effective for the widest range of uses. There will be pictures here.

At the risk of causing much gastric distress in folk, I uploaded the two earlier pics to my photobucket account and then linked from here to there...so clicking on them ought to trigger a much larger photo...as I say though, be warned about potential gastric distress. ;)

I shall also be bringing the work table in later today; there are arrow shafts to cut and other items for other things that need a higher and more robust table. I will also fetch my buffalo hide in from storage.

Work on the Númenorean shortsword begins soon. Changes to the hilt area are minimal, but the grip and pommel will change significantly and a proper wood and leather scabbard with appropriate decoration will be made for it. I have my Del Tin Glamdring, which I love, but a shortsword suits me better and this Kris Cutlery version needs work anyway...neglect correction mostly...and so I may as well work it up as a proper blade for my Ranger activities.

I like my shoe packs. I am looking at making a pair based on them, but taller with a full length tongue and laces with a buckled cuff. Still soft enough to use with the ground, high enough to protect the calf and shin, easily bound about the foot for comfort and support. Progress and eventually a 'how I made it' series here.

Speaking of 'How I Made It', the bedroll series is nearly complete; look for it soon.

Lots going on, on multiple fronts.
