Kinda changes the perspective... especially for us 'older' folk. Great article, thanks so much for sharing! Sindara (Turnip has a different idea, but, she's a teenager - not 'over the hill' yet.)

Thanks much for the info Wulfgar!!! Sindara

Thanks for all the feedback! Eledhwen, we may go with your idea for our winter stuff, and then next spring I'll make some fuller circle, lighter material cloaks. IF YOU NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING, ASK THE RANGERS!!! Oh, Turnip wants to know how to make our own boots... While we are doing our 'winter camp...

Thanks Peter! Will see what we can find!

Kombucha is awesome, healthy stuff... never thought about wearing them though - will have to tell all my kombucha buddies! Thanks for the laughs (and the other ideas)! Sindara Wouldn't THAT be a handy way to get shrooms over the border. Turnip.

Greetings to all! Would any of you know where I could get a good cloak pattern? Would be nice if we could somehow close it in the front - to keep us warmer. Want to make functional wool cloaks for this winter - Turnip and I plan on doing some colder weather 'rangering'. Thanks lots! Sindara

Greetings Manveroun! Am so glad to hear that you and yours are okay! Our hearts go out to those who are not so fortunate. Turnip and Sindara

Hey, any rangers or others of middle earth or Araleun bent... if any of you are caught in the Colorado mess... let us know if there is ANYTHING you need or any help we can give. Leave a note for Sindara or Turnip. Rangers always back each other up, the kindreds of Middle Earth all aid the others - w...

Well met, Eothain! I have recently joined this forum, and a more welcoming, sharing, true-hearted brotherhood I have not run across elsewhere. You (and all others) are welcome to our fire anytime! Sindara

Hail and well met Josh! Sindara and Turnip

Greetings Brownl 91! Loved the pictures! Welcome to this great group - everyone is so encouraging, so positive, a true brotherhood! Hope this winter to put some kits together for Turnip and myself.

Well met Gulli! A craftman's heart shows in his art... what beautiful craftsmanship! Welcome to this wonderful fellowship! Sindara

Thank you to all - Fox, Addreonynn Lightfoot, Eledhwen, and Fox! To find friends in unexpected places is truly a light for these darker times! May your swords be sharp and unbroken, and the star's light and heart-fire keep you on your paths! Thanks again! Sindara
