Loaner Gear

[collettedevalois]

After discussing the option of lending out loaner gear for Pennsic with the Canton Rapier Marshal, we've come to a decision that it has too strong a potential to be a problematic situation.

We can certainly lend out our own gear to cross-overs (this should be pretty simple on the rapier-side of things) and I'm putting together a list of online stores to find inexpensive equipment, like swords or masks. We could also host one or two regional sewing meet-ups to sew fencing jackets.

Thoughts?

I like the idea of the sew and/or swaps! I've got a mask and hood at the moment .. hoping my heavy gear with maille over the top will pass for the body (wanting to minimize the time spending swapping gear out between war points). But I know I need a new blade ... my last was lost after being loaned out in An Tir. If for us knuckle dragging cross overs would be most appreciated!

I have borrowed a hood, jacket, mask and rapier. Am getting some free suit weight wool to make my own jacket and hood. Will probably need help there. I have had basic instruction from Zygmunt and a departed Warder in the physical use. What do I need to know tecnically to pass an authorization? Hoping to make PAoD to authorize.
