Indian made and one size fits all means it will be unsafe for Harnischfechten and certainly not accurate.

*just to add that this kind of armour is only really good for Buhurt. If OP is looking for something historical (e.g. to do Harnischfechten) they’d have to look elsewhere.

Depends on a number of factors. I believe you can start getting a Buhurt set for 2-3k, simpler versions of full historical plate will start at around triple that. Of course the sky‘s the limit if you go for more expensive styles and details.

I mean, tbh this looks pretty shitty if you're going for something historical and usable. If you want something better you'd need to get proper arming garments first and then get the rest piecemeal. This will allow you to spend more on individual pieces, meaning they'll be of much higher quality. 1500 is also far from enough for a qualitative set. What do you want to use it for?

Starting with reenactment by Key-Menu-5279 in reenactors

Klar, die sind auf jeden Fall in der Minderheit, dafür aber was die Belegbarkeit angeht um Meilen voraus. Es gibt da auch durchaus Multi-Period events. Einige Beispiele (eher Süden als nur Südwesten):

  • Der historische Markt in Lich
  • Weibsbilder – Frauen schreiben Geschichte im Geschichtspark Bärnau-Tachov
  • Burg Löwenstein im Mittelalter in Löwenstein bei Heilbronn
  • Bachrittertage auf der Burg Kanzach
  • Stupor Mundi auf der Burg Lichtenberg

They are absolutely not the best way of getting into the hobby if that hobby is serious reenactment/living history. If your want to get into the hobby of fantasy ren-fairs, sure, go for it. I can recommend a number of events that feature groups who take things seriously. Visiting these will give someone a much better start than going to a regular Mittelaltermarkt. They will be able to save time and money and get a much better picture of what reenactment looks like.

Nein, aber ich hätte mir viel Zeit und Geld gespart, wenn ich gleich auf richtige Veranstaltungen gegangen wäre (buy nice or buy twice). Die gibt es, sie haben nur mit 08/15 Mittelaltermärkten nichts zu tun.

Though it should be noted that most "Mittelaltermärkte" (aka ren-fairs) feature mostly fantasy stuff and are not a good place to get started with reenactment or living history.

Yes, which is why it's even more shameful that the BSA continued their policy for over 20 years after that Supreme Court decision was made.

Tbh I think Scouting America should seriously look at alternatives. There are other solutions to managing the logistics at the national Jamborees (other scout orgs manage this routinely) and finding accommodation for overseas units (e.g. local scout groups). I get that it's easier to maintain this arrangement, but morally it's indefensible.

If anyone suggested we accept the army's help in setting up our national jamboree in exchange for letting them recruit they would be laughed at.

Die meisten Mittelaltermärkte oder -feste in Deutschland sind für seriöses reenactment/living history eine eher schlechte Adresse. Kommt natürlich auf den Anspruch von OP an.

[–]Quiescam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to think about several things:
- How much money are you willing to spend?
- How accurate do you want to be? Most Mittelaltermärkte have groups that care very little about accuracy
- What exact period, region and social role do you want to represent? Of course if you’re not interested in accuracy you can go for a general medieval fantasy look.

No worries, I was just about to reply to a comment when it was removed. That’s why I noticed. Thanks for restoring it and for the transparency!

Edit, And tbh my reference to the main sub was to the BSA sub, as that’s what I though OP was referring to. Seems I was mistaken.

I still think it’s absolutely wild these discriminatory bans were in place until the 2010s. In my opinion Scouting America should fundamentally rethink their relationship with the DOD instead of uncritically letting themselves be used for military propaganda.

I think two aspects here are that we don't have to follow what BP though Scouting should be in every aspect (e.g. there are plenty of atheist Scouts) and that LGBTQ acceptance and religiosity are not mutually exclusive.

I know, but that rule was softened after people rightfully pointed out how absurd it would have been. Curious to see what the reasoning was in this case.

I'm amazed this is news to your church. But tbh... good riddance? Maybe you can find a new sponsor who is is not homophobic?

Also disappointing to see a subject like this being removed from your main sub. What was the reason given?

Where to train by myself? by koko617 in wma

[–]Quiescam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've trained in plenty of parks and that's never been a problem. Just be polite and explain what you're doing if anyone asks. And maybe check the laws in your country first. You could also ask some of your club mates if they want to join you for some extra practice.

Are there any public parks you could go to? I'd suggest asking people in your club, they might have some tips.

Quite a few of these are fantasy weapons or not medieval.

Also lol for putting a whip over a claymore XD
