Re: Modern Camo Hunting Cloak

I like your use of old technology in the modern day; it's something I do all the time, although not really for specific functions.

Those are great. I like the dark forest; I think I will have to make it my background image on my desktop.

Garden of the Gods is a great place. Lots of other great places there. Best place to be a Ranger.

Re: Leather Wrap Gaunlets.

I have carried LARP weapons before, until an incident where armed police got called out because a teenager was out for a walk in a local park with a LARP sword and someone saw and thought it was real, so while not against the law it's best not to tempt fate. and as for the second half of your quest...

Re: Leather Wrap Gaunlets.

Don't ever use your sword to process fire-wood or as a camp tool. Not unless you wish to ruin the blade beyond repair or at the very least to spend hours upon hours honing it again. My point exactly. Iodo left out the weapon, but maybe she intended to use the axe to intimidate the enemy into submis...

Re: Leather Wrap Gaunlets.

I think the perfect number for the fantasy adventurer context is three, you want something big and choppy, like a seax, that can handle processing fire wood (or you can use an axe/hatchet/tomahawk instead), you also want a 4-5'' fixed blade camp knife, to make food prep and intricate tasks easier, ...
