How to make a Furca

[jvrjenivs]

Well, there are different views on how a 'furca' did look like. But the easiest way is to get two ash-shafts and a wooden dovel and put them together, securing the joint with wrapping some leather. See Larp.com/legioxx legionairys handbook by Matt:

The pack items are carried on the furca, a T-shaped pole about 4 feet tall with a crossbar c. 20" long. Construction details are unclear, but the crossbar is best secured 3" to 4" from the top of the pole with a bolt or big nail, cleverly filed or hammered to keep it from looking too modern. Wrap the joint with a leather or rawhide thong to steady it. A dolabra or other digging tool was probably lashed to the furca on the march, and maybe one or two pila as well. Palisade stakes do not seem to have been a normal part of a man's load, but one or two of them could also be tied on.

Another solution is to go to a nearby forest and find yourself a 'forky'/Y-shaped piece of wood, which can form the perfect basis for a furca.
