So, we've talked a bit about it before, but to refresh your memory, Greg Svenson, the "Great Svenny" of Blackmoor, several years ago on Havards excelent Blackmoor forum, shared notes he penciled in to the back cover of his 2nd editon CHAINMAIL(TM) booklet. I think I'll spend a few posts talking about them, but first I want to take a closer look at the equipment he lists and do some price comparisons.
