Quote:I never said I had a Problem with the Canvas tents, Sorry if I offended you Somehow!!![size=150:m7u93syc]N[/size]o, no, no, you didn't offend me.... I think we're just hitting on one of MY buttons about reenacting... about the cost of things. We've all seen guys who can just go out and buy nice, beautiful stuff, like Michael Simkins' helmets, etc. They're the same guys who think we ALL have this kind of money for a hobby ;-( However, the sad reality is that the rest of us have to decide whether to buy that nice helm and then live on Top Ramen until next payday or to try do it as cheaply as we can...
Quote:I agree people have different priorities, (hence my 2cents comment)[size=150:m7u93syc]A[/size]nyway, I agree, we all just have different priorities... IDIC! ;-) )
Quote:I Personally noticed that the tent is really the only big item, that i cant sit down and make with a substantial savings of time vs money.[size=150:m7u93syc]I[/size] agree! I wish I could just buy one... Hell, I'll be happy to be able to buy a canvas one anytime soon ;-(

BTW, our unit bought the tent, 12 years ago, still going strong!
Best, DMV
