Hey there, Jori, My Friend,
You make some VERY good points and I hadn't thought about Straw and deerskin. I like the idea! As long as there was straw of some sort available, it makes good sense. What would You use if you weren't around a good area to get straw, like around the Walds of Germania? I admit, being an avid camper, this entire thread has me fascinated. What I think might be very difficult to do is find something to go under the deerskins when a legio was in or around a swampy area. Again. I' look forward to Your answers. Thanks again, Mi Fraters, It's getting interesting again.
Your Frater,
Larry (Vitruvius) Mager
