Aethelmearc Forestry Guild, Forestry, Wilderness Studies

Master Morien McBain, hopes to foster a Forestry Guild here in our Kingdom, and is off to a great start, with online classes and lively discussions, plus and outdoor activities already in planning and even scheduled! He sat down with Gazette to answer our inquiries. 

Tell us about yourself (name, title, etc.)

Hello! I’m Morien MacBain, and I really like to lurk about in the shrubbery, tie knots, and set things on fire.  In addition, I’m a big fan of chopping things with axes, rowing about in boats, backpacking about,  and eating plants and animals.  I also ride – but do not eat – horses.

Tell us about the new group (name, goals, etc.)

At the moment, our group is called the Æthelmearc Wilderness Skills Study Group (find us on Facebook!), but we hope to soon be the Æthelmearc Royal Foresters when we become a chartered branch of the Known World Forester’s Guild!

How does one get involved?

Ideally, I’d say join our FB group, as well as the Known World Forester’s Guild and East Kingdom Royal Foresters groups.  Then  check out any and all documents in the “Files” sections that strike your fancy, but especially the New Member’s Guide . As well as Foresters 101.

Then, once all that woodsy goodness has blown your hair back,  fill out the Forester’s Guild Application: https://ekfg.eastkingdom.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Foresters-Guild-Application.pdf. And shoot it off to Gwillim Kynith at: warden@ekfg.eastkingdom.org

He’s a lovely fellow, and the Warden of the Guild of Foresters for the East Kingdom.  You will be applying for an “affiliate” (out-of-kingdom) membership.  Æthelmearc’s program is just getting started, so we’re operating under the aegis of the East’s program until we have our own set up, and getting as many affiliate members as possible operating in Aethelmearc is an important early step.

What are your hopes for how the Forestry community grows and functions here in our Kingdom?

Our application to the Guild for a “Letter Temporary” is in draft, and is making the rounds collecting signatures. We’ll have several members advancing to the rank of Forester by the end of the summer, I’d say.  I anticipate we’ll be in a position to apply for Æthelmearc’s own Regional Charter by this time next year. Hopefully whoever is on the thrones at that point will sign our Charter!  We will be patrolling and protecting all their Sylvan wilds, after all!

How does the East come into play? 

We turned to the East Kingdom Royal Foresters since they have the best-established and most accomplished body of people doing this in the SCA.  They’ve been instrumental in helping Atlantia, Meridies, and An Tir get their kingdom programs running, so working with them while we get our ducks in a row was the obvious choice.  They have been incredibly supportive, and we look forward to working with them going forward, although of course I hope our progression to a full-fledged chartered kingdom program of our own will come quickly!

What specific kinds of things can people learn about, research, and do?

Good night, it’s astonishing the wealth of skills we can get up to!
-Period fire making
-Travel by boat, horse, and on foot
-Shelter making
-Hiking
-Backpacking
-Stealth and leave-no-trace camping
-Orienteering and celestial navigation
-Wilderness survival (including cold and wet environments)
-Foraging wild edibles
-Hunting, fishing, and trapping
-Flint knapping
-Making salt
-Tanning leather
-Crafting tools
-Skills challenge courses
-Weapons and gear of outdoor life
Tracking
-Sign cutting and evasion
-Recreation of pilgrimages
-Campfire cooking
-Preparation of period trail rations
-Identification of trees and herbs, and their many uses.

The list goes on, and people can go insanely hardcore, or just try a few things that interest them.  Glorious stuff!

What got you interested in this? 

I’ve been running around in the woods since I was six.  I was in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, The Order of the Arrow (the Scouting national honor society), and I was in the Army, where I got to mess around in the woods in various places, so I’m a big fan!  I’m also into the modern bushcraft movement, which involves watching lots of old-time wilderness skills being brought to modern people to keep them alive (both the skills and the people, I suppose).

What are your favorite pieces of forestry/wilderness advice for the re-enactor? 

“Two is one; one is none,” meaning you should always have a backup for each crucial piece of gear you need in the woods (multiple blades, ways of starting a fire, methods to purify water, ways to signal for help, etc.).   Also, hydrate like a crazy person when you’re thirsty, hungry, hot, cold, tired, irritable, being chased by wolves, whatever!  DRINK WATER!  Also, purify your water, even if the stream looks fresh.  Waterborne illnesses like giardia are no joke!  Essentially, read everything you kind find by Dave Canterbury and especially Mors Kochanski, that guy was a beast!

What’s the essential gear? Or how can I get started? 

Essentially, you need some green garb, good boots, and a decent knife (preferably single-edged), and a desire to learn about the natural world and all the adventures, lessons, treasures, and mysteries it has for us!

Get online and find other Foresters near you, and start getting out in the woods and waters together (I love getting out there solo, but even I admit that a partner makes stuff safer and usually more fun.)

Here’s a clip on the topic by Llywd Forester, the founder of the Guild on the topic of gear and getting started.  Good stuff!

Any parting thoughts?

I’d like to add that forestry has opened up a sweet new dimension in my Scadian life, and that wealth of skills that one can study and practice can be a real ornament to a life and balm and oil to a weary heart! There’s been a rich air of mystery and romance around people with the skills to live and thrive in the wilderness for centuries, and recapturing, practicing, and transmitting those skills to new generations connects us with a profoundly human part of ourselves which many of us have almost forgotten was there!

We’re not the Sylvan Kingdom for nothing.  Æthelmearc is covered by woods, and we have deep wells of wilderness skills in our area.  We have some amazing people coming together to train and share skills.  Come and join us!

land agents, Pennsic Land, Pennsic War

Pennsic Land staff sent this message land agents:

First, there are new Land Announcements at https://land.pennsicwar.org/docs_announce.php.

Second, there is a very important announcement regarding Seniority from Land One.

It has come to our attention that some land agents and/or groups are concerned about the potential loss of a year of seniority for their group if they do not attend Pennsic War 49. We would not want a person or group to feel obligated to attend PW49 if due to COVID-19 health or travel restrictions, they are not able to attend. This is especially true as we cannot predict what restrictions may be in place when PW49 is in progress.

As such, we will not be awarding a year of seniority for any of the groups who ultimately attend PW49. This assures that no group will receive any type of seniority advantage for having had the opportunity and desire to attend Pennsic where the COVID 19 restrictions would not prevent them from doing so.

As always, the site is available to you at https://land.pennsicwar.org.

Yours,
Rhys ap Ishmael

Blackstone Raid XXIX Cancelled

29 Sunday Mar 2020

Posted by aethgazette in Announcements, Camping, Event Announcements & Updates

≈ Leave a comment

Blackstone Raid XXIX was scheduled for April 23-26 in the Barony of Blackstone Mountain.

From the Blackstone Raid 2020 Facebook Event:

To be in accordance with State and Federal guidelines, and to follow guidance put forth by Society and Kingdom, we are sorry to announce that Blackstone Raid has been cancelled. Information regarding the Investiture of Cunedda II and Alana II will be forthcoming.

From the Autocrat:

It is with a heavy heart and sad hand that I must tell you Blackstone Raid is officially cancelled for 2020. Federal and State Guidelines indicate that Social Distancing Guidelines are in effect until April 30. The Society and Kingdom have both asked that we follow our Federal and State Guidelines.

Let us not become discouraged. This will pass and Blackstone Raid 2021 will be BIGGER and BETTER then ever. Seeing our family will be all the sweeter and our parties all the longer (bad wine has another year to get nastier).

Thank you to all the staff and everyone who has been working so hard this year. Keep your plans, your notes because you are gonna be needed next year.

Please contact the reservationcrat for any refunds.

All the Best,

Baron Cunedda Kell (Autocrat)

More on the New Royal Encampment Walls

Any gentle walking by or into Æthelmearc Royal since Sunday has remarked on the gorgeous new encampment walls (as was reported here). But what was the inspiration? Her Majesty Juliana kindly sat down for a few minutes with The Gazette today.

“We wanted the encampment on the whole to be more welcoming, be more accessible, look more coordinated, and for people to be able to see in when they walked by,” she explained.

She and His Majesty Gareth sewed and block-printed the majority of the shorter, striking dark red walls in recent months. She noted that red fabric generally does not hold up well in bright sunlight, but these are UV resistant and she hopes they will last a long time.

The older, much taller walls (some with the heraldry of all of the Kingdom’s groups, some with simply escarbuncles) are indeed quite faded but have not been totally abandoned. They have been repurposed to serve as interior walls and along the back boundary of the encampment.

His Majesty, Lord Otto, and Lord Rickard made the portable holes for the new walls, she added.

The wider entryway is specifically intended to make it more accessible for those gentles in scooters or wheelchairs, she noted. In addition, she hopes it will eliminate the bottleneck that frequently happened when a fighter or other gentle pulled a handcart through the gate or gentles simply stopped for a moment to chat with each other. “It was way too crowded!” she remarked.

If you are at Pennsic, stop by Æthelmearc Royal to admire the lovely new sheet walls and gate entry to the public part of the encampment.

The shorter walls are easier for gentles to raise and lower, while the wider entryway is easier for gentles in scooters or wheelchairs to access, not to mention gentles pulling handcarts.

While you are there… please consider signing up for a shift at Hospitality, that entryway you are admiring. Many slots are unfilled at this point in the War.

Volunteers working Hospitality:

  1. sit in the shade
  2. sit in front of an electric fan
  3. can charge up their phones or devices

Hospitality is an easy two-hour volunteer job — it’s most often greeting gentles, directing them to the scribal or meeting tents, verifying whether the Royalty are inside or seeing visitors, taking messages, handing out bingo sheets, and welcoming gentles to rest, drink water, or charge their devices. There is always an experienced volunteer with each shift, so even if you’ve never done it before or don’t know how to answer a question..

Sign-up is in the schedule binder at Hospitality Table. Shifts are two hours long.

SCAdians Crash Archeon’s Viking Week

09 Sunday Dec 2018

living history, museum, reenactment, tablet weaving, Viking

By Elska a Fjarfelli, OL

Archeon is an open-air living history museum in the Netherlands that hosts a yearly Viking reenactment event, supplementing with re-enactors for additional staff.

I’ve had my eye on this Dutch Viking Week for a few years now, and finally this was the year we could combine a visit to family with a visit to the reenacting event. My sister has attended and vended at this weekend for many years — apparently, she’d waited until we emigrated to the United States before doing the cool stuff. Or perhaps this interest in our early history is from a more recent mindset.

Neither Hrolfr nor I recall any of these events when we still lived there;  it wasn’t until we moved to Florida that we encountered our first medieval faire. (And boy, did we like it!) Upon checking, I learned that Archeon is only 25 years old, and since we emigrated 20 years ago I believe the Viking Weekend and similar events really are from after our time.

Arial shot from Archeon, showing the scale of the open-air museum. We were camped in between the two white & red Roman buildings out back.

According to the Archeon website:
“Archeon facilitates the meeting between a diverse audience and the history of the Netherlands in an informative and interactive way. The aim is of providing a nice, fun and above all instructive experience in an as authentic as possible (pre-) historical environment. Archeon manages and presents authentic reconstructions of 43 buildings, several monuments and tools based on archaeological excavations from the Mesolithic (6,000 BC) to the Middle Ages (1,350 AD), to ensure the material and intangible heritage of the Netherlands now and in the future. Expansion of existing knowledge is guaranteed through research and experimental archeology. (pre) Historically dressed Archeo-tolks translate the past into the present in an interactive way, with the primary goals of education and historical fun.”

Hrolfr talking with a Bronze Age interpreter weaving on a warp-weighted loom. She lamented the fact that at her point in time broken diamond twill had not been invented yet, so she was stuck creating plain weave. Each interpreter wore a tunic made of hand-spun hand-woven fabric in natural brown wool, which looked awesome.

Each year, the Viking Week is set up smack in the middle of all these exhibits, infiltrating most of the open spaces of the Early Iron Age, the Roman Era, and the Middle Ages.

During the Viking Week, the regular living history interpreters are present and accounted for, as well as a dozen or so groups of Viking households. The Vikings are expected to adhere to the living history mission of Archeon, and each Viking re-enactor is expected to add, in some way or another, to the overall experience of the paying guest. Because, lest we forget, this is a museum, not an event and its aim is for happy guests, not happy re-enactors. No matter how much fun it is to dress up and talk Viking, it is done so in a job situation and everyone is on the job from 10 am to 5 pm.

Obviously, since we were flying in, we had to bring in our garb by plane and chose not to bring our best outfits as I was worried they would get damaged or lost. My sister had asked permission for us to be part of her business, explaining the situation, and we had been given some leeway regarding clothes, especially shoes.

We were given a 12-page document on what a re-enactor can and can not do to ensure an immersive experience for the guests.

Vikings invading a 1350’s medieval town.

I asked my sister beforehand how period-correct the outfits needed to be. Good enough for Ice Dragon? Or enough to pass at Pennsic?  Guess I should not have worried so much.

For instance, starting re-enactors may wear wood clogs at their first (but only their first) event. After that, they are expected to buy historically accurate shoes. But many of the shoes worn by experienced re-enactors were not actually period-correct; they were fantasy Ren-Faire shoes, in natural leather! Fabric seam treatments and minor embroidery was fine although not used nearly as often as in a SCAdian context. And as long as it looked like a tunic or an apron dress, it was fine. What I did notice was that the fabrics used were much nicer than I am used to and there was a LOT of diamond twill… what was up with that?

A sea of diamond twill, it was really hard to contain myself…

Turns out most of the participants get their fabric from the same vendor, who was at Archeon as well. My sister and I went to visit him as it was my goal to bring back a suitcase of fabric this trip. Unfortunately, his fabrics averaged €25 per meter. We had a nice chat, answered many questions about the American SCA, and shared some resources.

What I found noteworthy was that this vendor, who heavily influences the look of the Viking re-enactors he encounters and had much to say about how period-correct his inventory was, based his information on a bibliography barely worthy of Fleur-level research. His customers took him at his word, and were not enticed or even expected to do their own research.

This is something I found across the board with this type of living history re-enactment: the re-enactors would look to the people in charge for what to do and what to use. Research was not encouraged — I mean, anyone could research whatever they wanted, but if it did not adhere to the accepted view (the 12-page book) then it could not be displayed at events. The result of this was that most of the re-enactors looked very similar to each other, and that a number of outfits were based on outdated research. The abundance of solid diamond twill fabric available and the enthusiastic recommendation of the vendor had resulted in an over-abundance of the population walking around in this, in-period but quite scarce fabric type. Nearly all of the diamond twill was two-tone to boot — and the re-enactors could clearly afford to buy it. Apparently, European re-enacting is for the well-to-do.

A German family selling beads and stuff – a way to engage his kids during the “long, boring week” and help them earn Star Wars Lego. At one point, the father did this professionally; now, it is more of a keep-the-kids-busy endeavor.

Curiously, it was the vendors who played with researching objects and techniques. Some vendors, like the fabric vendor, are professionals who travel the circuit. Others would play a merchant for the weekend (maybe that’s how they afforded the garb). This undoubtedly comes from the request that re-enactors have a role to play during the week and many choose the role of merchant. This request is part of the jurying process: the more you have to bring to the event, the more likely you are invited to participate and invited to return.

There were also those demonstrating skills and doing chores; I loved the teenager showing off his dozen built-from-scratch pitch-glued wood arrows, his father whittling small wood saga figures, and camp mates cooking lunch for their Households. During opening hours, visitors could and would ask anything and everything from any person in garb, and each Viking and otherwise was expected to engage positively and deliver some sort of historical spiel pertaining their chore, craft, or wares. The wares for sale were of an odd dichotomy — partially geared towards fellow re-enactors and often of high quality and historical replication, and partially towards tourists.

Viking carving demo.

Something I found a bit disappointing was that there was not much mingling between the groups and households. It seemed like the re-enactors came to the event to play with their household, instead of coming as a household to play at the event. I can see how less out-going personalities would easily get lost without a household, if they would even get into the event.

There was not much socialization even during the communal breakfasts. I had hopes for the communal Saturday dinner (not a feast, it was catered) but instead of the “mandatory” socialization after-dinner can become, the organizers hosted a trivia contest. This was fun in its own way, but by the time it was over I was ready for bed. Of course, me being me, I did get to know some people as it turned out the wife of the fabric vendor did early medieval Baltic, which I surprised her with by recognizing, and the two of use had a great time talking costume after that. Hrolfr had a similar experience — he struck a chord with another lady and the two of them had some great talks about weaving during the weekend.

Hrolfr doing his tablet weaving demo and chatting about weaving. He hooked the warp between the A-frame and his belt, which worked very well.

When I brought up this almost-surly attitude to my sister, she admitted that she was considering starting her own household for the company although she did not find the attitude all that unusual. Since most of the re-enactors were from all over the place, mostly Eastern Europe with some Belgians and Germans mixed in, I could not really lay blame to my Dutch culture. English was not even the common language between many households; often, it was German.

And then it dawned on me: I had gotten used to how easily Americans associate! I am Americanizing. It only took 20 years.

Simon freezing in the Roman Bath, with potted olive trees and some random Vikings in the background.

When asked, the single thing our 10-year-old liked the most was the playground. And let me tell you, the Dutch know how to do playgrounds. It was made of wood, it was huge, it was tall, and had many daring opportunities. I took a look and thought, that does not look safe at all… but then tried to channel my Dutch mom and walked away. He had the best time of his life and had ample playing opportunities with kids speaking many languages, some wearing garb, many not. But since I never thought of taking a picture of the playground while at an open-air museum, I asked him what his second favorite was. And those were the Roman Baths. Where he was allowed to swim, after hours and without a lifeguard. He loved the ambiance, and the responsibility. Only wished it was a little warmer…

The Baltic outfit. That shawl alone was to die for… She commissioned the shawl from an experienced weaver who took three months of weaving eight hours a day to make it. Each wire circlet and tube is woven in one by one.

Did we like the event? Absolutely! And it also made me appreciate the uniqueness of what makes the SCA so valuable. Not only is it much more inclusive — to the less well-off, to the less social — it also actively encourages independent study of the Middle Ages, often resulting in academic-level experimental archaeology.

Vice versa, the SCA could take some pointers from re-enacting and aspire to raise the bar at least a little bit. This visit showed me that there definitely are cultural and social differences between Americans and Europeans, let alone between period-specific re-enactors and the SCA. The Viking period-correct (-ish) camps, populated by Vikings — sans eye glasses, cell phones, and sneakers — doing Viking-y things was quite the immersive experience. It makes some adjustments very much worth it and I am totally ready for more.

What’s up next? How about two weeks as a Viking interpreter at Birka, Sweden… one can dream, right?

After-hours sharing of stories around the fire with family (with Roman graffiti in the background).

AE Royal, Pennsic

From the Kingdom Pennsic Chamberlain, Baron Janos:

A friendly reminder for people to plan to help set up and break down Æthelmearc Royal this Pennsic. Set up will be on the First Sunday and tear-down the final Friday.

Like past years, we are looking for crews to handle the loading of the transfer truck at the AE Trailer and a ground crew to set up at N04.

We are also looking for folks willing to/interested in splitting the cost of a box truck for the first Sunday and the final Friday of Pennsic. The Kingdom will split the cost of the rental of the truck on those days. Doing so means we will not have to wait for the Coopers to transport, and will speed up the process considerably. If you are interested or can otherwise help out with transport, please contact the Pennsic Chamberlain at caseyodonovan@yahoo.com or 267-679-1171.

Thank you all in advance for your help in setting up and breaking down Æ Royal this year. We hope to make it a quick and easy process like in the past.
