Harvest Feast Checklist for what to bring:
-Money and canned goods for entry. -Weapons -Armor -Fighting garb (extra dry socks!) -Feast garb -Toiletries: There are NO showers! Bring baby wipes to make yourself no so smelly. Febreeze helps too. -Sleeping stuff: If sleeping indoors, bring a bedroll, pillow ect. If tenting, bring more then what you'll think to keep warm. -Extra food, there will be the AMAZING feast, bread and soup during the day and maybe a breakfast of rice pudding on sat/sun.
Things that'll help a first time event of this type goer: A "period" drinking vessel, table settings and your own plates, bowls and utensils. Try to snazz it up if you want. If you dont have or know what period drinking and eating stuff is, just ask me, I have some to spare.

I have two full sets of wooden plates/bowls/spoons and some wooden chalices if you guys need to borrow them. Though I'll expect them back washed and in good condition

you'll need garb for fighting and then for the feast!

I was wondering about that. Would we need separate garb for the battle and the feast?
From what I've read people wear a lot more fancy things to the feast part, but what exactly are we looking for? I've been working on figuring out my garb but am totally clueless about feast wear etc.
I'm definitely not going to be ready for this one, but just preparing for the future.

Fighting garb is what you need to be able to go onto the field. Basic to fancy as you want. The difference between fighting garb and feast garb is generally 1) Its clean and not sweat soaked from fighting. 2) Try to be a bit nicer or more befitting your persona. Example; My fighting garb is black pants, and a plain black tunic UNDER my armor. My feast gear is My Nice black norse styled tunic with white trim, with a white linen tunic over it, nicer black pants (and also clean) with ribbons binding my ankles and calves in the fashion of the Norse. I'll wear either my big white robe or a giant fur cloak. I'll also wear my belt and pouches, with maybe a peace bonded sword on my side. Because my persona is a viking / Norse styled barbarian, I like to wear some gold and silver jewelry and such. Ive also been doing this along time. Example of a new person feast gear. Clean pants and a tunic that has trim or something to 'class" it up a bit, maybe a sash or fancy belt worn over the tunic. Not hard at all. Long post made short: Feast garb is the stuff you wouldnt fight in because its nicer / clean.

All I know is that if I go I'm not sleeping in a tent outside.
