Looking for SCA camping gear, read this for more information about this event.
If you know a little about the 17th century then you are probably aware of the rough conditions back then. Back then, they had very little to sleep on or in. Now days the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an international organization dedicated to research and re-creating the arts and skills of the pre-17th-century Europe. During the various events they organise they have authorized the use of some modern convenience.
Basically all you need today to survive a weekend is food, clothing and a shelter. Back then was no different but when you talk about an SCA camping event the camping gear you bring with you is the only thing responsible for you comfort. Many of the campers at those events prefer to bring jerky and sandwiches to re-create the reality back then while others want to experience the real thing. Some will include cooking equipment in their SCA camping gear to make sure they have proper meals.
Tents are also a major part of the SCA camping gear and depending on the number of people who will be sharing the shelter, will determine how big a tent you need. Although tents are typically sized by the number of people they will hold, the number represents how many laying straight while sleeping will fit in the tent, with all equipment left outside. A two-person tent can hold two, with nothing else in the tent so a four-person tent will give you more room and allow for more of your SCA camping gear to fit inside.
Quality Of SCA camping gear Determines Price
There is a difference between cheap and inexpensive and cheap usually has to be replaced every two or three years. However, if this is your first time in the woods and you have to buy all new SCA camping gear, try to be frugal in case you hate it and do not return. You will have equipment you will not use again and may have trouble selling it as used. There are centers that offer tents for rent and for the first time out this may be the way to go to minimize your investment until you are sure you will get the use out of it.
For most other SCA camping gear, buying good quality will not hurt you as most can be used if it turns out you hate camping, even in your backyard. Cooking on your gas grill can be fun with your outdoor pots and pans and a water bottle or two can be useful when working outside.
If you are thinking in participating in a SCA camping events I would advise you to try and check with others before you go out and buy all your SCA camping gear. Speaking with others who have lived this experienced will help you determine what the recommended list of SCA camping gear you will need. This will make sure you do not buy something you don’t need.
