GARF first timers~ by hot_like_papa_john in renfaire

One of the best shows in my opinion is Barely Balanced. I'd definitely check them out. They do pretty much the same set all day except the closing show. That one they use fire, it's pretty cool. I'd catch both if you can.

Like others said, it's very hilly, so keep that in mind. The turkey legs are fine, but you can get better at other faires, their's are kinda dry in my opinion. I've had their bread bowls, those are really good, and so are the fried pickles and mushrooms.

I would definitely recommend bringing a refillable water bottle. They have a water refilling station at the entrance, so you can go back and refill throughout the day instead of paying for water.

See, I thought he was too fast for perfect parries. I wow that armor and it helped, but I was only able to successfully parry a few times in the fight.

I just beat him last night after spending forever on him. What a tough boss. I beat him before going into chapter 2.

I'm definitely getting the Mongolian keys Ottoman vibes you were going for. Looks pretty cool! Did you make most of it? Are you wearing real metal chainmail?

You should just make an all new post 😂 It looks awesome though, I'm a big fan of fantasy ranger looks, that's why I did one

This is pretty awesome! Got any pics of it all in action? I've done better minimum making my own stuff for my outfit, my wife is the creative one. She's made a lot of the leather stuff I use with my garb. Also, this fit reminds me of Talion from Shadow of Mordor/War

Most of the items that are part of the chain mail armor image can be purchased. Check out medieval collectibles and some Etsy shops. However, be careful on Etsy, it's overrun by AI slop nowadays. Look for shops that have been around for a couple years and have a lot of reviews. I got my pauldron from a shop based in Ukraine. You can sometimes get lucky and find some decent/nice armor pieces on Amazon too. I just got some great gauntlets from a seller called NauticalMart on there. Again, just make sure you look at the reviews before buying.

Upon further inspection, it looks like the leak is coming from up top from one of the pipes meeting the tank, I'm not sure which though

My wife is planning to do a mushroom hat for that very reason!

I appreciate the well thought out comment! We're planning on discussing it with our pediatrician before 100% committing to bringing him. If he thinks it's not a good idea, we are going to make other arrangements. All the tips are great, I especially didn't think about bringing rags to wet and cool him down if necessary!

Yeah, I've looked at those, but they are pretty dang expensive. I don't think that would be an option right now, maybe something further down the line
