Pennsic planning and packing stuff

[gurdymonkey]

Me thinking out loud, move along, nothing brilliant to see here.

I get 12 cubic feet on the kingdom truck. I just recalculated the cubic dimensions of bundled tent poles, cot inside plastic roly tub and cot OUTSIDE plastic roly tub and I have the room to ship the cot outside the tub, which is good because it had to go in there kitty corner and waste space. Substituting a cheap plastic dropcloth - that can be dumpsterized at the end of the war for a net loss of $4 takes up less space than a poly tarp.

I cannot figure out any way to fit the Japanese bug hat into either the bin or my luggage - at least not without it being smashed beyond all recognition, so it's not coming. I will just have to katsugu a kosode.  Illustration and/or documentation of this dorky but kinda cute period practice appears here.
 

Ditto my other straw hat. My felt one packs flat, so I can wear that or veils with my European stuff.

But where the freak are my waraji zori? And my glass headed veil pins.....
