I used a couple of painters canvas as a lean to type set up. Something simple to set up and comfortable enough for one person.Below is a photo of my simple set up. I have some better ones but have to dig around for them.

No, no venders.

I believe it's Mallory, I know it's not the fort. I'll get clarification and report back. After doing a search, the historic seaport is the Key West Bight. This encompasses a large area of Key West. It includes the Harbor Walk and is where most of the commercial vessels and guides are slipped.

Let me get Spike to answer this. He has a better grasp on what needs to be done. I'll get back asap with an answer or he will.

Close Pete....lolol......Mr. Brand, the hotel crawl has pretty much been scrapped. Originally we thought there would be enough participation to warrant working some deals with a couple of hotels. Alas that didn't come to bear. Working with a hotel is in the works, more info if that if it happens. To clarify, there are some folks who are still planning on going, they've already booked lodging. How many, I do not know. Anyone going down will be on their own hook for lodging unless there is enough actual commitment and interest in doing an encampment, then and only then will a effort be made to try to set that up. The Pyrat Brethren has been public for a couple of months now but a majority of those who stated they would be interested and want to help have fallen by the wayside. We are trying to keep a presence there so if and when we can make a presentation to the park service for a 2016 FTPI, they will see that there is an active interest in keeping the event. Right now Tallahassee has shut the door. The green shirts as well as the new manager are still interested but can't do anything until the powers that be open that door again. We are trying to keep the door cracked open instead of slammed shut and bolted. Only by active participation will that door open. That is the jest of what we are trying to accomplish. I for one will not be able to attend for a few years because of my employment status but I full support and am working behind the scenes to try to assist this event or something similar happens in the future. I hope all of this makes some sense.

Pyrats will still be returning to Key West the 4th, 5th, and 6th of December. Some of the events will be an invasion of the seaport, Pyrat pub crawls and ships battles. More events will be added as they are finalized. Stay tuned here or on Face Book at the Pyrat Brethren page.

It would be my pleasure. Do you have an exact way you'd like to be listed in terms of name and location?

Just Animal and Florida for the location.

Mr. Brand, would you kindly add me name to the crew roster.......thank ye muchly

Good on ya, mate!!! Worked at Snoqualmie Pass ski area as a instructor and racing coach/trainer for 5 seasons. It worked into off season position later on.

I'm in wit da Mercury crewe...........

I'll chip in $20 towards food. Don't know where I'm being places in the Fort but Lily said something about putting me near electricity....whatever that means........

That's what my wife said..............

Lily....can I put myself up for sale???

The real cool thing about slops, is that the sizing isn't super critical....and the waistband is the only part you have to semi-worry about, and because it has a tie at the back, you can adjust their fit...

Because the lags are gathered and sewn into the waistband, they are cut kinda large... when you make them, make the legs a little longer so you can cut then to the length you want after they are sewn.

I'll draw-up a sketch showing the waistband (and how to draft it's pattern) and post it in the next few days....

Thank you sir. I was looking around earlier and couldn't find what I was looking for until I found your post about making them. Did you do the "waist" sizing at the waist or the hips????

Major bump.......making a set for FTPI this year and need to know how you did you sizing, Mr Hand. Did you make a pattern on paper first before committing to material?

I know it's here somewhere but I need to waterproof my lean-to canvases for the upcoming FTPI. Any info would be great.

Thanks,

Sansanee and Swab will not be coming. The baby is due November/December and she will be giving birth in Thailand so we will be there for that. We do have a 10X14 Wall tent located in Key Largo fyi. By the way we found out today the little bundle of a joy will be a boy.

Congratulations....a little swab for next year!!!

I'm in...my lean-to and some other stuff will be there........the missus won't make it until I get a proper tent.......

Oi.....Sutler.......How ya be, mate!!!!
