Deeds of Arms and Other Matters Medieval and Otherwise
About Me
- Will McLean
- I’ve been involved in medieval recreation since 1975. I contributed to a manual for living history that later grew into the book Daily Life in Chaucer’s England, and have written and illustrated several articles on the medieval tournament. This blog is mostly a platform for my other writing about the Middle Ages, and whatever else moves me: other history, movies, SF, space exploration, contemporary politics and economics.

Nice Post
These are amazing tent models. I specifically like the round tent design. I have a round family size Coleman tent that has served me and my family well over the years. I also admire hammock tents, they are quite resourceful. Check out some unique designs here: http://hikingmastery.com/top-pick/best-hammock-tents.html
The quality of your articles and contents is great.ultralighttent.info
