New Member - Thanks for having me
Good morrow all. Just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to join. I've done a fair bit of trekking, mainly in a 18th century Scottish Highlander persona (courtesy of Tom Langhorne's influence) but I've dabbled in medieval type reenactment / trekking as well. There's some amazing information here.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search of our better selves?

Mae govannen! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome ranger! Enjoy! Its a fun community. Maybe you could still incorperate some of your highland gear into your persona? That'd be cool for a northerner!

But the white fury of the Northmen burned the hotter, and more skilled was their knighthood with long spears and bitter. Fewer were they but they clove through the Southrons like a fire-bolt in a forest.

Welcome Ranger.
Life is a great adventure; if I live to be 10,000 years old, it won't be enough.

Welcome
His channel is one of my favourites, he done so much stuff that can easily be applied to any fantasy or re-enactment persona, not just highlanders

Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.

Well met and welcome!
... and yes, Tom does some great work. I'm kinda jealous of those highlands he (and Iodo) gets to tromp through.

Iodo, yours is helpful as well. For some reason, it never occurred to me to do fasteners the way you show instead of buttons. It made life incredibly easier.

Re: New Member - Thanks for having me
Highlander clothing is a lot of fun, and more comfortable than I would have thought. I for one would be glad to see pictures of your kit and read more about how you put it together. I wonder about how it could be adapted to Middle-earth reenactment since it's so specific to time and place, but then who's to say others couldn't have come up with the idea of using a really big piece of cloth in such an ingenious and elegant way?
Tom was the catalyst for me getting my kilt as well (just last year). I'd wear it every day if I could!
