Got a lot of good comments on our encampment. Using Tentsmith oil-cloth shelters for the camp. Happy with the new oilcloth trail tarp from Tentsmiths. Real world needs making me give up on the idea of a conical cattail mat shelter, or some kind of bark lean-to.
Proud of my slab furniture, very rustic and well used. The slabs are not as comfortable as a real chair, but they keep your but dry and the little ones are highly portable and highly authentic. I'll probably make a Rendezvous chair and hide it when going to juried events.
Speaking of slab furniture, Ken Hamilton had a piece in his camp that inspired me. He had a 3 legged slab stool, a very common design in rustic furniture. Since it only requires 3 legs, it is a lot less effort and materials to make. I think these were often termed "milking" stools, but certainly are usable in a primitive camp.
