Quote:Now what would you have on you? do you have a bed roll? what do you have in presived food? Like do you have salted jerkey or something? you have a spear a sword all your chain mail and a helm but i dont know what kind of other stuff a knight would have on him.
A German Templar would likely have:
A sack made of rough linen or hemp, length equal to about his height, so that he can throw some hay or straw into it and sleep on that. The medieval name eludes me at the moment, but that's the English name not the German name anyway. He would also have two blankets or a cloak and a blanket.
A supply of Landjaeger, this is a kind of German dry sausage, used by hunters as the name suggests. Of course a large haversack or forage bag, filled with whatever gleanings the countryside would supply.
Not much else, as the Templars were sworn to poverty.
They were a religious order, and I don't think they got their knighthoods from any king, though I have been wrong before...
