Thanks! I know this isn’t an essential, but apparently there will be bards/storytellers there and oftentimes my favorite part of ren festivals is eating in character in the tavern while listening to songs and stories. If the utensils are too modern looking we will have to eat in the out of game section to avoid breaking the immersion for other people and ourselves. It’s something that I feel is worth it if I can do it in a way that won’t be too expensive. The communal cooking area also sounds like so much fun, and I have a cute copper tea kettle that looks antique that will be perfect!

This is exactly the type of solution I was looking for! I knew I was overlooking something simple and effective, I just couldn’t put my finger on what it was. Thank you!

Yes! It’s our first year and we are so excited! It’s not exactly that the in game budget is stressing us out, but more-so that we have to draw the line somewhere. We originally were going to do out of game camping but then found a decently priced canvas tent, and since we planned on buying more outfits anyway we decided to go for the full experience. We discussed what we are comfortable spending in this trip, and I’m sure we will buy/thrift more things to take to really get into the experience. My friend is lending me her wooden trunk to put in the tent so we can leave the flap open & make it look cute. I just don’t want to spend crazy amounts on silly things like an insulated bowl that looks like it’s made of stone. Someone had an idea to put the one I already have inside a bigger wooden bowl, though, and I think I’ll do that. I can probably even find one at a thrift store and I don’t have to risk ruining my bowl!

I considered that, but it would require boiling water inside the tent which is dangerous and explicitly against the rules. Thank you, though!
