[Loch-Ruadh] Attn, Polydore:what to bring?

[Bill Osterheim]

A&S...great!
Feast stuff is a little more confusing. I don't know who really would need what. I cannot see you bringinf everything, but if you could bring whatever you can for approprate servingware and
a bit of extra feast stuff, that would be great! I am sure there are some people who are without
early period stuff.

It wouldn't hurt to bring a couple of these, but we may not use them (Kind of hard to figure until we get there and see just what we have to work with.)

(I know, be careful where you point that thing.)  If you need the whole shebang, I may need someone to cart it out to the site - I can get 99.9% of it in one of our trunks (carry type not car) - but I plan to day trip, because of rides, etc.  A car will not hold one of these trunks in its trunk very easily.

An extra idem of destruction or three would be good, especially approprate swords, axes, and armor.  Personal items would be excellent - I think we will br rather short of personal; items.

Any sheep, cow, or other hides would be most excellent!

Aren't all Vikings portable? You transported youself somewhere, visited a few people, then transported youselfs and a few extra things home again... (grin)

Other things:
A few good documention books would be good to have in camp. I have a couple I can bring.
Projects to work on in camp would be most escellent. This would be a part of life in a camp and/or village.

Late notice, but would there be a done in period style class of any kind you could teach? This would be most nifty!

Uddgar!
