Merry, Take care and mind the sawbones ....work hard to make your way back to port

I'm sure some of the "entertainers "on that end of Duval will be more than willing and able to assist in the application of said posterior products

Capt. Sterling, make sure you leave him on "The Other End of Duval St.." ..... the choice is yours

I DO NOT NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SHARING BUTT PRODUCTS!!!! Any hand who can't take care of his own arse will cast adrift!!!...Save those young enough to still be at their mum's knee! :P

The Callenish Clan --Hugh, Margret(Salty) & Hamish

Greg you're welcome to join us for meals if you'd like ....we usually make an abundance

I can see why they wanted concealed weapons permits .... .94 cal. that would put a lovely trim to yer sails

Aye Jenny, you need to be speakin' to Lady Brower. She and the Half Moon Marauders are probably the most active crew nearby you with an historical bent. The Sea Rats Atlantic are in Jersey closer to Trenton/Princeton

Why do I always seem to find deals like this when I'm skint???

It's fairly simple ...what things do you use daily ...once you answer that put it into 17-18th century parlance; Shelter Clothes Shoes Bedding Eating utensils Cooking gear Food toilet kit (toothbrush, paste, razor (for those who shave) towel - washcloth, etc.) Tools (knife, gun, sword, boarding ax, etc. ) "Beverages"

We've PM'ed him here and emailed him at the magazine for the past 8-9 months and it has never been resolved ....Bad business practices!!!

Mistress Salty & M'self are two subscribers who won't be back ....never got the issues we ordered in the first place ;)

The leather tricorne is pretty much an invention of the renfaire crowd from what I've been able to glean ....sorry to break it to you

Mickey, Sorry t' hear Shannon, Trish & David aren't coming ...We're awaiting word as to whether my daughter Hannah can get the time off school to attend (friggin' bureaucrats!!!) First they said yes but now?????

Yes, yes and by the way yes ....flint and steel was one of the most common ways of fire starting for centuries

Most of the period paintings I've seen of sailors depict them wearing a shorter waistcoat ...so I would surmise that they would indeed be period for GAOP but I have been wrong before ....(Did I type that out loud???) Gentleman of Fortune's page

You'll need to post your pics to a FREE site like photobucket or flickr, once they are posted there you copy the direct link and when posting you go to the insert image links option ...you'll get a box that come up and you paste your link there ... You can't do a direct link from your computer, you have to go through the intermediary step

It could be either; that being said, just how posh do you want your kit to be? If you look closely at his right cuff it appears that his waistcoat is a sleeved version ...oddly you can't see it in the left sleeve of the painting. I also like the pocket detail shown in his breeches.You'll be quite the dandy! But that lass of your deserves a bit of refinement rather than always being seen with that slovenly lout you usually venture forth

Mexico And the southwest areas including Arizona and New Mexico Were ruled by Spain during period so the patterns would also be period. Cortez & Coronado tromped all over that area. They were known for absconding with anything they placed value upon and staying warm might have been seen as an asset. I have never seen an encampment that went so far as to analyze the fibre content of your bedding; I use these in the warmer humid temps of summer in the Mid-Atlantic states. Not as warm as wool, true, but there are nights when I enjoy a cover without the level of woolen blankets. Just my tuppence worth

I have seen the parallel cords that QJ mentioned they were usually ribbon or leather lacing from approx. 1730 on I know they were on the right side and sometimes the rear with a button or cockade on the left side during GAOP I'm not certain if they (button & cockade) were there. The button on the left-hand side was often looped with a ribbon so it could be lowered for sun or rain protection. This will give you a decent image Jas Townsend

Are there no prisons? No Workhouses? No Steampunk forums? These miscreants should be buried with Tesla coils planted in their __________!!!! These be Pyrate waters :P

In the two hundred years after Columbus' first voyage weaving was well established in areas of Central & South America and the blankets produced could have easily have found their way onto departing ships ...as long as the dyes aren't blaze pink or other non-natural dye colours you should be ok to use those in period encampments.

Math dhà-rìreadh!(Excellent!) You had to tempt me with more shirts!!! But they'll have to wait until January!!! I'll see about a couple then

We'll be bringing brazers and charcoal so the coffee will be on every morning first thing ....you'll have to bring your own mugs for it and cream and sugar if you take it .......We drink it black!!!
