Winter To-Do list

[gurdymonkey]

Prompted by posts on the Tousando by a nice young man from An Tir on the feasibility of his trying to get down to Estrella:

Repair or replace stake loops on tent.  Check all tent ropes for wear, re-tieing, etc.
Go through camp boxes, restock as necessary.
Add new propane cans to stove bag.
Replace tool basket before it disintegrates.
Get fire extinguisher recharged.

Re-build basket lanterns. (These were rushed into production before Estrella last year and they look it.)

New banner poles for HOCM and Rising Sun.
Jinmaku (need tabs sewn on, poles, rope.)
"Ei Wa Chi" banner.
HOCM banner?
"Hinomaru" tent rope markers.

New valance for tent ridge pole.

"Futon cover" for 3-season sleeping bag?
Makura (pillow) to go with?
(I despair of the interior of my tent some times. Would pretties on the INSIDE hurt so much even with space limitations?)

Is he from the Portland area? If so, I he may be the one I'm helping with armour.

Not sure where from other than "Washington," but here's a link to his forum profile with name and pic.

His first garb made it onto Samurai Eye.

Yup, that's him. Nice guy, I'm building some lammes for his new harness out of tool steel.
