Capt. Sterling Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 we have snow now...but we have the ham "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 We have the ham too, but we're don't call it 'country' here because we're already in the country. Just ham.

Well Dogge, no promises... but if I can find a little time in the next week (as we leave for PIP the day after thanksgiving) I will try to figure out biscuits and gravy over a fire.... Here's where you should mentally be pulling for all my clients to be happy with my first drafts of everything over the next week... :) Less stress from them means more time for me to experiment....

Captain Jim Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Gravy over a fire's no big thing if you have a skillet to cook the sausage to begin with (I'm assuming sausage gravy, right?). Biscuits can be done in two ways: reflector oven (don't know if that is PC) or "biscuits on a stick" where you wrap biscuit dough around a green stick or a cutlass and turn often. Actually I think a rapier would work better than a cutlass. Edited November 19, 2008 by Captain Jim My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Sounds like the beginnings of a Buccaneer Camp Fire Cookoff! ...and we could be the taste testers! I could say that's both a blessing and a curse, but I hear alot of good things about this crewe's cooking. Tying back to tentage, if anyone's still looking for that comfy cot to put space between themselves and the shells, Walmart has one in a handy blue carrying case for $33.80. I plan on using mine along with a sleeping bag and a few blankets (one being a lended period accurate one to hide the modern stuff - thanks Callenish!). Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkie McDonough Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 HELP! I am stakeless! I am looking for tent stakes and can't find any in the area. i never thought it would be this tough to find someone local! I wanted to use rebarb but I don't have a way to point or bend it. What sort of business would ...maybe I can find someone in the area to help for a small price or barter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Hand Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Silkie... you don't have to add points to re-bar, bending it makes it work a little better (well it helps keeping people dumb enough to step on it from cutting their feet on the ends... but we be Pyrates, so we got 'nough sense to avoid that...) Just get a hacksaw... cut the re-bar into about 12" lengths. (if your still worried about the steaks having points... then just cut the re-bar at an angle...)... pound it into the coral... and tie your line/rope to that... the bumps will help hold your line/rope.... Take a nice deep breath an' then a swig A' rum... everything will work out....... For Burning Man this year, I had 18" steaks that were bent candy cane like...(they gots a lot of idiots at BM wot step on tent steaks...) Hey... my tent wern't going no-where in those hight winds...... but fer PiP.... you don't need that much.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Question folks on tent poles...I've recently bought a wedge tent that I'll use for a few reenactments prior to 09's PiP, and a friend told me what sort of wood NOT to get poles made from, and I'm embarrassed to say I've forgotten what he said. What types of wood would work best, and not warp in the humidity and such? Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...

What types of wood would work best, and not warp in the humidity and such? Good old 2x4's from the lumber yard ripped to half thickness and cut to length work fine. I started doing civil war 15 yrs ago in the panhandle and am still using some of the same poles on my wall tent. If you like a more authentic appearance oak or pine saplings that are straight and tall work great as well.
