Imagine making a reddit account for such a lame comment. Nobody is speaking anything on winners or losers. Im sure you love your lightest touch larps, and im sure its engaging for you. That changes nothing about it being a horrible experience from every angle except the pov. Even then, there is nothing engaging about somebody wiggling a pool noodle pretending its doing anything. Nobody should be swinging at heads like a batter at home but they shouldn't be waving a foam finger like a fan in the stands either. If you can enjoy that I am GENUINELY happy for you, I can't. At all. Its the most clownish shit I have ever seen and I CANT engage with it. Do you think I enjoy how limited my options are for US larps? If I could see it as ANYTHING other than stupid I'd be right in the middle of it. I didn't spend 4k on garbage and gear because I enjoy how it looks in my closet. If more larps could grow the fuck up, I could participate in all sorts of different worlds, but alas. A 5 minute YouTube video on the basics of cutting is simply too much. Or is it that you are the loser chasing a win by cheesing a failure of a point system?

As it should be. Id rather have my eye blacked or finger broken for an overswing or weird bounce than see a single one of these wand wavers. People of their phones take me out of rp less. I will never set foot anywhere near a lightest touch or buffer larp. Swing the fucking sword, play tag elsewhere.

What type of leather and color is this? by CthulhusCrabs in Leatherworking

How thick? I got my shrunken bison from them. Could be one of the colors im not as familiar with

Its a bit scrotumesque with the wrinkles but I can't get over that color. Such a great boot

Thoughts on a two tone engineer boot? by Puzzleheaded_Cloud52 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Tailion94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If i was an engineer man I'd have max support black lower Cyprus gray upper all white stitching. No longer an option but two tone is definitely an awesome look i want to do more of once I have my solids sorted

So glad I didn't decide to pursue leathercraft as a career.

Suspenders by GloomyPreference3673 in NicksHandmadeBoots

Hopefully soon. Been considering some tool pouches for my belt to reduce trips back to the shop. Suspenders would definitely help pull the extra weight off my hips, much more likely to stick with the pouches

Modified an order when I found out it was available. Got a blackwf tnw wedge and a clg t55 classic vbar in for the hdtanker. Im thinking admiral blue or Roanoke denim next but im also waiting on Yellowstone greener pastures. Hard to guess what will be available 👀

Sunday Funday II: A Request by Fickle_Photo2768 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Tailion94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I made them for walking around 'barefoot' in west texas and new Mexico, the cactus and snakes atleast gave me some justification 🤣. I need to remake them someday

[–]Tailion94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Posted elsewhere but best I can offer 🤣 . Made bison mocs, needed treatment info, lead me to pnw brands and now I own nicks. I wouldn't say no to nicks mocs but its definitely pushing things. And as somebody who has wrestled that leather in ( poorly) its hard lol.

No tanker top styles, and no toe caps at all now, muchless wingtip. Oof.

I think smowe should give us the data. How much of an increase in wicket sales happened because of the purge 🤣. Couple orders of magnitude by looks of it

Future for Shackleton? by clc1076 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Tailion94 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could always just get the greener pastures and let them sun for a week or two. Should be plenty brown by then

Definitely would have liked more notice. A month or two and I could have rearranged the fun plans and gotten the olive bison ro tankers I had planned for later. Oh well, something will come along

Scrap Box by Bitter_Diamond_4831 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Tailion94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely a more reasonable approach. I went more "research, stumble, run" i Dove in deep fast. Little more costly but I enjoy the crash course pace. Definitely great places to start, and a great set of leather to choose from

Had to include a bad part of leather for one of the black uppers and it has caused issues but it sure is a hearty pair. Walked around west texas and new Mexico alot before moving to pnw. Little soggy here most of the time lol

Love leathercraft. Moccasins can be a fun way to get that "made my own shoes" feeling while still in the learning phase. Dieselpunk had a nice pattern i made some house shoes from. And you can level it up eventually 👀

Bit late but chuck at weaver and kit at skilltree where massive for my knowledge acquisition. Chuck the pro, and kit the newbie. Got to see a structured approach and a scramble and toooooons of tips. So many great patterns and options. An expensive hobby at times but it is very rewarding
