Thank you!
My kit is mostly pieced together from here and there.
The cloak is DIY, made of cotton.
I know, not very useful for a serious traveler in the wild, but seeing as the temperature was 94 degrees today it suited my purpose well!
My jerkin was made by a friend in New Jersey, and very reliable while comfortable.
If West Virginia has nothing else, there are at least some amazing forests here!
They make for some excellent Middle Earth-ish scenery.
The cave is actually just a few rocks that fell together to form a perfect doorway into a shadowy cavernous space.
(PS- These images probably would not look so amazing if it weren't for my talented lady, whose profession this is.)

Ernildhir: The Ranger Apprentice is perfectly acceptable, particularly as the "Apprentice" is a member

JBook: Nothing in the rules about everyone being a Ranger, it's all good.

Everyone: So far Great Job ! The entries so far are all extremely well done !

Wow! There are a lot of really good pictures here!
This is also awesome for us beginners, because it gives us good ideas for starting our own kits!

Congrats to Jake, our first entrant EVER to post a non-ranger entry (not counting stuff like Ercnildihir's Gandalf)!

Alrighty, there is one more that I'm still working on, but here are a few, for starters.

In the Shire

That is a cool couple pictures! 8) Regardless of what you actually have in that cup, Maia looks as if she wants you to make her some coffee.

those pictures are really cool, maia looks a little bit like how my dog used to look, when she was annoyed and wanted you to know it, abby would ostentatiosly turn her back on you and sulk
:D

Amazing Photographs everyone, its great too see people getting out there in Full Garb! I'm afraid I might not be able to take part this time as I'm simple to busy to get out and get some Pictures.

Anyway I love seeing some of the things other people are doing, some great creative work here!

Keep it coming! :P

-Chris

P.S I LOVE The one with Gandalf looks great

Alright, Pete. You asked for it.

Rangers, I'd like you all to meet my homeboy, Gwaihir, at the Carrock.

I can't help but wonder what Maia would have been thinking. Great editing job!

Further, that picture looks like it would be a good subject for a caption contest. ;)

Ok I plan to take a good pic or two this weekend but I was out mowing today and passed our blueberry bush and couldn't resist. So, I guess this is in the Shire...

Blueberries make for good eating!
