[Steppes] RE: Living in the past

I'm game, Saqra....should we tell PBS we're ready for them! ;)

P.S.  If there is any GROUP that could survive in the past, I would think
SCAns would be that group.  We have archers who could bring down wild game,
herbalists to conjure up cures, cooks to prepare food and store it, vinters 
and
brewers to make the food more palatable, spinners/dyers/weavers to make 
cloth,
leatherworkers to tan, prepare and use hides, fighters to protect the 
others,
bards and poets to pass down lore from one generation to the next with the 
help
of scribes as well as entertain and teach, and a myriad of other arts.  The
key is to work as a group...the description of civilization.  That doesn't 
mean
I want to give up my A/C, modern conveniences, computers, thousands of 
books,
and modern medicine -- just that as a group, we are better prepared than 
most!
