You can learn how to make that stuff rather than buy it. The boots are still likely to cost you - cobbling isn't a mean trade. Often, SCA'ers know places to get such things cheaper (Ren fairs are notoriously overpriced). By the time next year rolls around, you can go completely equipped. :-) <BR/><BR/>(One caveat on SCA - while the culture is derived from hippies and therefore quite tolerant, there are always a few rednecks, especially among the heavy weapons fighters.)Anti-Tronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07853432784923281684noreply@blogger.com
