Camping Gear. Camping Gear Camping is a practice as old as man itself.
And now at Medieval Collectibles, we're pleased to offer you a variety of alternative collectibles, all geared towards the ancient practice of camping. Many of the items you'll find here are modeled after actual historical replicas that would have been used by various cultures when surviving the wild. Numerous cultures would have braved the wild for a number of reasons, but few were as wide-spread as the Romans, particularly the Roman armies. Thus, many of the pieces and accessories you see here in this Camping Gear Category are of Roman design, mimicking the tools, utilities, and devices that Roman soldiers and legionnaires would have favored whenever they were forced camp during long marches away from home and civilization. Of course, you'll find other cultures' camping gear here, too, including items from Vikings, Celts, and other such well-traveled peoples.

What and Where to Measure - Get a fairly wide and long piece of paper. To Start - On your body, find your natural waist and measure from there to where the clavicle bones meet at the hollow of your throat. Measure around your waist and divide this by four. Now measure from your natural waist to your arm pit or where ever you are most comfortable with your armseye landing.
Measure your chest, making sure that the tape is around the widest part of your chest. Period/historical.

This article is the result of some research I've done, and an attempt to put that research into a practical application for the SCA folk who want to be a little more adventurous with that ubiquitous garment.Maggie ForestA very brief outline of how to make a non-authentic t-tunicClemence L'Estrangenon-authentic linkBill McConnellThis article shows you how to make a simple piece of medieval-ish clothing.Canton of Wolfsgate (an SCA group)This article claims to be a t-tunic pattern easy enough for a stick jock to make.
