Kasan posted:Several of my friends are currently out of commission from broken wrists, twisted ankles and cracked ribs. You's essentially being hit with a baseball bat by somebody who actually knows how to swing it for maximum force and efficiency. I don't really do the heavy combat (I have a partial suit of armor that's a mix between stainless steel, air craft aluminum and plastic, but no helmet because gently caress those are expensive and I don't have the skill yet to make one myself), but I do participate heavily in the arts, service and thrown weapons. I can accurate hit a 3"^2 target from up to 30 feet with axes. So what im gathering from this You would rather be hit with a baseball bat by this guy:  Than be hit by one from this guy:

Mr. Wiggles posted:I'll back him up - SCA has tons of weirdos and nerds in it, but the combat is legit sport stuff. I used to do it, and still would but there's no organization close enough to me to make it worth my time. Heavy armored combat is serious cudgeling people, no larping poo poo. Steer clear of the people who try to reenact Shakespeare and the Renfair types and it's a hell of a time. Like in this bridge battle below - doing this for 10 hours and then hanging out by the campfire with your bros is a pretty good weekend. Even better are the large scale battles with a few hundred people on each side at once.

Fetus Tree posted:So what im gathering from this Judging by the armor the latter is wearing, I'd rather be hit by him because he's probably a Rennfaire geek and not an actual fighter in the SCA. Realistically, I'd rather just not get hit. Like I said. I cook, And, no people pay for the feasts and the event subsidizes the cost up to a point. Sometimes I go over budget and spend money out of pocket, sometimes I'm under budget. Most of the time there's left over stuff that doesn't get used in the cooking process so it just comes home with me, so I end up with a lot of stuff I won't use between events. The context of my original post is a rarity, not the norm. The last time I had a bare pantry was when I moved away from home for the first time in the 90s and I still hadn't grasped that my parents house wasn't a substitute for actual grocery shopping, or learning to cook or thrive. I've restocked my larder with non-perishables, bought some delicious local produce and poultry and lamb and beefs and restocked my freezer for the month. Edit: whoflungpoop posted:Liked yalls reenactment of Pearl Harbor What's this from, it looks amazing.

Call a hammer a hammer? Edit: fyodor posted:you dont need to buy all the food you will consume in one trip jesus I didn't. I did get enough protein for the month because it was cheap, but I'll make weekly trips to the grocery store and the farmers market for more veggies and any thing I need that I don't have on hand for a recipe.

Cross posting this from a GBS thread (I know I know) but it might be helpful for you OP seeing as you do not seem to like grocery shopping like normal people do: http://www.costco.com/emergency-kits-supplies.html

By a cauldron. Everday make a huge pot of "brown". Use your pasta sauce as it's base. Take it to SCA. Barter bowls for other goods. Soon you shall be restocked. Your rep in SCA will skyrocket.

I went to a sca event before because my roomates were nerds like you and they said there'd be a lot of drinking and sex If only they had mentioned that the drink was weird honey mead poo poo some nerd made in his bathtub and the sex was homely drunk men with crowbars trying to pop the corsets off of large girls Oh and they had cooks there making godawful food like you too, it's kinda hard to make a camp without horses and latrines stink that bad but thankfully yall are really committed to your vision

I actually have a 30 gallon cast iron cauldron that gets used to make stews and soups. It's good when you want to feed people numbering in the hundreds for lunch.

I learned some important lessons about cast iron cooking over an open flame, such as if you stop stirring and leave it over the fire, the stuff sinking to the bottom will turn to charcoal and make the whole batch of soup taste like poo poo.

You need to cook for your SCA peeps more often in your pot. The iron leeched from the pot will give your fighting men +1 Healing.

Word to the wise for when you lose your home, the other hobos won't be into fantasy larping so what you call "brown" they will be calling Mulligan Stew, but other than that it works basically the same as what you described for feeding big groups, just chuck whatever scraps you got in there and boil. Just a little tip to keep you from getting shanked  Kasan posted:Is it from Flying Circus? I don't actually remember too many of the flying circus episodes.
