[Ansteorra] Why aren't we doing this?

Budget for SCA activities and transport space for the stuff you bring for a 
more period encampment
also really comes into play when you have
children who need garb and items for activities like youth boffer,
or when you are trying to transport four people  and their stuff to Gulf 
Wars in a mini van!
It's a little scary in bad weather when there's a lot of stuff on the roof,
and we're not sure Ye Olde Minivan (less than 100,000 miles, still alive and
kicking) is up to pulling a trailer.

I've considered doing wooden chairs but I'm concerned
about the space for four chairs at overnight events since the van is already 
full.
Obviously chair covers would make more sense for us although right now I 
just bring fabric
to drape over the chairs.  And I have a whole tub already that is full of 
covers and bedding!
It seems like I pare down in one direction and then add other stuff in 
another.

We still haven't invested in the period tents in part because I think we've 
decided that long term we
really would need TWO smaller ones instead of one large one (one for us and 
one for the girls).
See transportation and budget issues mentioned above.

We do the best we can but I know we still have a long way to go.
 So I think people should be encouraged to gradually evolve to the best of 
their ability,
whether that relates to encampments or garb or armor.  Hopefully each year 
we
can strive to be a little more accurate and we can politely encourage each 
other by
setting the best examples we can afford to set.
