An addendum to your water one, with a little prep you can actually get more out of it. Look at the small corked "potion bottles" that a lot of places sell for crafting purposes, several are the perfect size for several powdered drinks that you can add to your bottle during the day. For a summer one, having something like gatorade or similar available to add to things while it still looks appropriate for things is a great thing in the middle of summer or in more action oriented points for making sure that you can keep going.
Will check this list if I ever find time to get back into it.
Twin Mask is in CA if you ever fancy it. It's the one Jeff Goldblum went to in his documentary series. :)
Two years late. Hi Dominic!
Don't do like me. "This one man tent will be fine!"
He said, not counting 3 (THREE) suitcase-sized containers for armor, weapons bag, a shield (that stuff's bloody enormous...) and provisions.
Heck, next time I'll take a tent just for the luggage xD
Squire's tent
@@joaovs580 I couldn't move that all on my own xD
Lets add to Larp 101: get a squire. Take your son or nephew just to carry your stuff. No payment, you can promise him your sword & armor if you die. Child labour is Historially acurate 😂
I'm no Larper, but I always like ideas for outfits and stuff for medieval markets and festivals and I so appreciate your commitment to making these videos. Keep it up.
Happy to help :) I'm hoping to go to a medieval festival local to me in July, fingers crossed it runs ☺️
"If you have to think about it, it's not recent enough." God damn, I'm gonna use that at my events. Our players, while good at looking after one another, are notoriously bad at taking care of themselves. They need to be told regularly to go fucking drink more water.
It really works! 😁
I've wanted to try larp for a decade now, and am planning on going to my first event next year. I'm glad you have an abundance of quality information to learn from.
Popped up in my recommend :D
Awesome! I hope it was helpful. ^_^
Great list of tips! Really enjoying watching through some of your old stuff
Lots of great tips for starting LARP.. Wonderful Video, thank you for sharing!🌷
There must be a HUGE difference between your larp event and mine, my phone dosn't die during 3 days of larp BUT it's getting dark, during the night. When the event starts at 8pm on friday it's dark, during the night - it's dark, at saturday during the nightwatch - it's dark, the same day during the night - it's dark. When all comes to a final confrontation on sunday - it's dark! I don't don't need a phone charger, but 30 players dressed in black, during the night, walking through the forest, fighting 30 badguys dressed in black - they need LIGHT.
That's fair. I tend to go to two different style of events- large fest systems which do have lighting at night and smaller games that do not. At my smaller games, very few people bring bright sources of light because they cause glare. It's hard for eyes to adjust from bright light to darkness quickly, and so we keep any lights we have very dim to maintain our night vision. And those tend to last all weekend. But they are not really necessary for full expeditions into the woods, because light tends to attract attention when one is trying to be stealthy.
Thanks alot for the video! some very useful tips
No problem! Glad you found it helpful! :)
Solid advice, I wish we had more overnight events here in Australia
Thanks for making this!! It has helped me explain this to new players in my system
No problem, I'm really glad it's helpful :)
@@OurAdventuringParty please keep creating! I love watching your videos when prepping for an event or setting up the event itself🧡🧡
Great video!
Thank you!
I so need this!! Even if I’m not larping, I’m going to a Ren Faire but would love to larp with irl friends. Sadly, none of them find them interesting. But I can’t wait!! I want to go and interact with the cast and people working the vendors.
Aww that's a shame your friends aren't up for it. If you are brave enough to try it alone, I would recommend it 😊 Larpers in my experience are generally helpful and friendly to newcomers.
Never thought I’d get to watch this video from the perspective of someone who’s about to go on his first overnight event (after starting larping in 2017), but here we are!
Awesome. Hope it's a great event 🙂❤️
water- i use about 3 2l of water for my ethier time im there a bit to clean my hands and the rest to drink i get very thristy very fast and so i take a lot of water
good day ! i am here in southern Californina and i am having a terrible time trying to find a LARP group. any suggestions ? or even if other people have a idea or a group they like ?
Hi! I am UK based so forgive me for my lack of knowledge of Southern California. But if you are anywhere near LA, Twin Mask Larp is very good. Have a look at this video by Azrai to give you an idea ruclips.net/video/P6-kOLhsW60/видео.html
I play Twin Mask! You should join us! Your first game is free! Next game is in July due to quarantine 😅
Nice video. :3 Do you have any links to the Pintrest recipes you've tried?
My favourite one links to this article on Buzzfeed 27 Delicious Recipes To Try On Your Next Camping Trip www.buzzfeed.com/melissaharrison/delicious-camping-recipes?.va8e4Xkj44#.va8e4Xkj44. I recommend the Breakfast Burger Biscuits :)
you do not need to being a lot of food for me i bring a supper and a few fruites for the saterday and for the friday supper i always take sandwitches and eat that before the event is started and then on sundays we leave so eat a bit more of fruits. but better bring more then not enough
Be careful, this 'Merci Handy' bottle you have isn't a hand sanitizer, it's just a cleaning gel and has the same function as a simple soap, it's not antibacterial it's a cosmetic product...
Well that is awfully upsetting as Birchbox, where I got it from, specifically listed it as antibacterial. Thank you for this clarification.
@@OurAdventuringParty you're welcome, I was also shocked when I found that out and they got in trouble for it because it was confusing for people especially during this times...
Here's the link for more explanation if you want : www.mercihandy.com/blogs/rainbow-mag/in-light-of-what-is-happening-now-we-tell-you-everything-about-hand-sanitizers
@@danslesbrasdemorphee4181 Thank you for sharing. Yeah that should have been clear from the start as I've spotted reviews of the same product calling it antibacterial hand sanitizer all the way back to 2016!
@@OurAdventuringParty Yeah, and I see people using these products thinking they are disinfecting their hands everyday :/ It really should be clearer, especially know...
Eight years? Would you consider yourself a bit of an actress?
(I apologize if you actually do act professionally. I don’t really know you.)
In honest truth I would not consider myself an actress. I can play a variety of characters and enjoy doing so, however the difference between LARP and acting is the audience aspect. I like to interact as a character, as opposed to being on a stage and performing.
Have you tried improv? I heard it’s similar to larp! And I’m a actress and can agree it’s very fun to how I would imagine a larp to go.
chargers- idk why you would need that i dont use my phone at larp like at all only at night before bed to mark the time and see if i got a call and when i leave after the larp its still at least half way full
That's fair. Not everyone needs to be reached at all times and can just switch their phone off. But many of us need to keep in touch with the outside world because of work/caring responsibilities/ personal reasons, so in that case a good charger is always helpful to have ^_^
@@OurAdventuringParty yea i get that if you have places that need to reach you then you also prob carry your phone with you on the field witch i dont
@skycrafter 204 Well, you did say you didn't know why "you would need that", and I presumed you meant people other than yourself so I thought some further context would help explain :)
@@OurAdventuringParty yea i dident think about that way but it makes sence its ust that at my larp i dont know any body that carrys there phone with them to make sure to keep imersion but as you said your a new mum and have to make sure your reachable.
Here have a subscriber
Thank you!
If I'm staying at the event for a week, what feminine hygiene products could you recommend?
Forgive me for taking so long to answer this but I had to really think about it. I'm sorry if I've misunderstood your question
I don't see any reason to deviate too much from whatever products you are currently using if they don't leak and work well for you. If you are going to be combat heavy, it might be an idea to get something extra absorbent as exercise can increase flow.
What I would advise is see what hygiene facilities are available and how they can be used. Some portaloos allow for sanitary products to be disposed in them, but do check first.
As you are going for a week, it might be an idea to take a few provisions for more showers. A combination of period plus long battles may make you feel more in need of a wash than normal.
@@OurAdventuringParty yeah you got what I meant 😊 like I'm planning to go to Bicolline in Quebec when everything opens up again and so I'm not 100%what their facilities are like. I think my main concern was if I needed to try to stay close to the environmentally friendly ones. Just because I'm not sure about the facilities for feminine hygiene products at events like Bicolline. Like if they have a portaloo or a hole in the ground😂 people say that we'd wash in the river so that got me concerned about this type of thing.
Bicolline is a permenant site so I expect they have permenant facilities, with proper toilet blocks and showers. I know you can bathe in the river, but I'm pretty confident it's not the only option. You can check their website or try the Bicolline page on Reddit if you want more info. I've never been so I can't say for certain their preferences.
@@OurAdventuringParty yeah I'll definitely give it a look 😊 thank you so much for your help 😊
No problem, I hope you have a lovely time :)
Larp rent just throw a canvas thingy over a regular one .. :3
I mean you can, but that can cause some problems. For instance canvas can get quite heavy when wet, and if your tent poles are not designed to carry that extra weight, they could collapse or even break. So if you are like me and in a country where it rains alot, having a canvas tent that has poles to support its own weight or a waterproof tent that may not look very in-character but deals well in the wet weather is much more reliable.
I think I’ll have to do that. I live in Australia and it doesn’t rain as much as it does in the UK, and fortunately the forecast for this coming event is nice and rain-free
