What do you use to carry your stein, purse...etc.


Recommended Posts

Get a belt! Then go find something called a "jack strap" or a "mug strap." Those are the things that connect your belt to all the things you want to hang from it. There are several retailers of them on the internet.

Aye, a good belt that can take accessories. I use a lot of leather hangers for gear... it allows me to mix and match. Basics - a mug (of course) a place to hang jewels, a place for me flintlock and a pouch to hold modern contrivances, such as keys, wallet and such... The pouch is important - get one big enough to hold your stuff - it's pointless to get a small one.

I wear 2 belts. One is just a plain 1 1/2 inch belt with my small pouch and bollock knife. Those are worn all the time. Then I have a weapons girdle, 2 inch belt that has my cartridge box and gunner's dirk. That is the one that the pistol belt hook goes through. Cutlass hangs from a shoulder baldric. If I need to carry anything else, I use a hemp canvas haversack, about 8x11, on a shoulder sling. That will carry food, extra cartridges, cleaning kit if I'm going to be firing for a while, and, if I need it, a pewter tankard attached to the shoulder sling with a thong.

I hate having a lot of clutter from my belt. Since I do a fair bit of combat, it gets in the way, rattles around, and generally creates a nuisance. Plus, looking at the old woodcuts, I just don't see that sort of thing.

I do what I do for my own reasons.

I do not require anyone to follow me.

I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs.

if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

I know that hanging a tankard of my belt isn't period, but I don't realy want to share a single tankard with all of my mess mates. and if I drink something like a (gasp!) coke, or a beer, I'd rather pour it into my handy tankard than drink out of the can.....

....OK so I can't defend my carrying a shrunken head on my cutlass's scabbard...... other than the squeels of "oooh ick...." from kids when they see it.....

i carry.... a heavy belt with knife and pistol. A baldrick with pistol and cutlass, and a cartradge box for my musket . I have enough clutter just carrying my weapons.... I figure the addition of a tankard and shrunken head isn't to much more...

(keep in mind, I play mainly in the SCA)

I have been seen carrying 4 tankards from my belt before... with 12 bottles of beer in my hands (figure THAT one out...) on a beer run once.

Then there was the one time I was carrying 36 beers on my person... course... I was cheating, wearing normal pants and using the pockets, but still. The Beerdalier only had 6 bottle spaces...

I usually carry:

Home-made short Cutlass/Cutlass dagger (I made it from a paul chen scramasax and some old iron and brass...)

Home-made simple kidney dagger/utility knife (to CUT things with, not for prying)

Hand Forged (not by me) "stubby" dagger (friggin' blade's over 1/4 inch thick, and 2 inches wide, but the blade's also only 2.5 inches long! :D )

Pistol (flintlock repro... hoping to get a real one soon)

Home-Made "hidden" matchlock boot pistol. (something I came up with that *could* have been)

Belt favor for my household

Belt pouch with emergency sewing kit, compass, money, ID's, various coins, Zippo Lighter, Jasmine Rose oil, sometimes a camera, etc.

Tankard Strap with Tankard

It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
