Here I am in my Greek slinger/shepherd outfit. I'm going for more of a 'Rustic' look. The Period in question? I'd say it could probably stretch out anywhere from 500-100 B.C.

Made the felt hat myself (Petasos), though not historically accurate as I only had Alpaca fleece and not sheep fleece. I sewed the clothing myself and made the pin for the Chlamys (Which is likely obscured by my hair!). I am also wearing a Chiton but good luck trying to find it.

I also have a wooden club and two pouches filled with lead glandes. Though I probably won't bring the club to medieval faires because it makes me look like I have a large part of the certain anatomy sticking out from the cloak!

Late bloomer, graduated from college in 2021 at age 61, in the heat of covid-19 so classes were mainly online.

He then took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones from the streambed and placed them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag, and his sling was in his hand. And he began approaching the Philistine. David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.  David thrust his hand into his bag and took a stone from there and slung it. He struck the Philistine in the forehead...

Good job Ahnkochee!

I love this thread. I've looked through it many times. I always think about the different times and places that members have come from, but somehow we all ended up on this forum. We all walk different paths. But sometimes we end up here and walk the slinger's path together. For a while anyway.

Very philosophical Joe.
Have you been at the mead or reading Descartes ?
