Since we do a campaign march at our Sothern Calif chapters every other month or so we've beefed up our FURCAS.. whether we load them with PILA and VALLI or not...
Adding a flat shoulder rest, covered in leather and further supported by wrapped hemp cordage, all covered with beeswax has made carrying a heavy load much easier. The shoulder rest keeps the SARCINA aligned; the leather "pad" reduces wear and damage to the furca and segmentata
The FURCAS are made with ash, about 1.25" to 1.5" / 3.17cm to 3.8cm diameter and about 5.5' to 6' / 1.75m to 1.82m tall. The location of the cross member varies from soldier to soldier.
