tent buying?

[Joshua]

"Hobitat?" Maybe Thalia can make a recommendation - sounds like her kind of tent!

Two suggestions for tents...

A less expensive option than most canvas tents sellers in the SCA such as Panther is to get a wall tent from Fall Creek Suttlery...
While they advertise for civil war folks this style goes all the way back to the Romans.

This is what I currently live in.

Another option is a tent made by Lord Friedrich Wilhelmssohn.
These tents are amazing. Beautiful and great quality.

(If I could afford it, I would get one of these. They are well worth the cost)

In Service,

It will rain destruction like Shiva on all of E-12! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

(Then again, if that one was done by someone who knew what they were doing it might not actually be a disaster waiting to happen...)

LOL
Actually, I've seen these tents in storms and they are amazingly well designed to stand up to strong winds and pouring rain.
In a storm, one of my households will gather in the large kitchen tent that Fritz built and we all stay quite dry without any worries.

Oh, if only we had such luck.

In entirely unrelated news, I assure you, have you ever met Celeb?

I don't recall ever meeting him.

Probably for the best, especially if you buy that tent. Not that the two are related. AT ALL. Nope.

Greetings Thorvald..
2 months + late I reply... but at any rate.... I'm the "Caleb" that josh is taunting here..
I planned, built and sewed my own single center-pole, spoked pavillion. It is 7 foot at the eaves... 16 at the peak.. it is a little bit of a challenge to put up.. and my beloved campmates (BITCHES ! ALL! I assure you) live in TERROR of it.. Hence the "Spinning, tinker toy of DOOM!" comment.. they even have an interpretive dance about it. (did I mention they are all bitches?)

I believe the oft-paraphrased quote about it was: "The Spinning tinker-toy of DOOM! One day, in a storm it will rise like Shiva and Dance destruction all through Settmoor Swamp and the rest of E-12!"

sigh..... Sadly, since my dad passed (he helped me to build it) I haven't had the heart to put it up ... and my beloved campies have even arranged to house me in a yurt... such is the fear of my poor little tent.
