Over them we have our sheep skins and then sheets, covers, blankets and feather pillows. It is very practical to have a part of your tent that will always be dry no matter the weather outside! In the wooden bed we use two modern mattresses that is easy to pack, and makes us sleep very good during long stays. Under the bed we also had a plastic floor (a tarpaulin) to protect camping gear and the bed from wetness. We like carpets on the ground to have something dry to put down items and feet on. This is what the tent looked like inside while we were moving in. Makes these things your priority when packing, and then fill up with pretty clothing, extra kitchen wares, nice flags and more. What kind of clothing will you need if the nights are cold? For keeping dry? What kind of bedding to keep warm and comfortable during the night? Maybe some medicines if you get a cold or a stomach flu? To be wet, cold, sick or sleep bad during an event never makes it fun. The question is always what to bring and what will I need? Of course, packing space and the amount of things you own is an important matter, but always try to plan your trip for “worst case scenario”.We didn’t bring everything by ourself, we shared the camp with friends. Our new home is done! Except the tent we also had a small outdoor kitchen area with a sunroof, table, benches, a fire pit and cooking gear. Also bring a cover for your things if it rains everything will get wet! A sledge/hammer, shovel and knife are good tools to have close by. to make the building of camp run nicely bring good shoes, gloves, a snack, something to drink and extra ropes, pegs and the like.Our friend E got a section of his own, and we hade a sleeping area with draperies and a double bed. The new pavilion was way more expensive than our previous, home-made tent, but we are really satisfied with it, both the quality and how much room we have inside. Once everything was out in the grass we could set up our pavilion and get everything in place. It is no small task to carry everything in by hand… check with the schedule when you will arrive/leave and if you may drive in your car close to the camp then.This is both because the cars may not have space enough to drive in, but also because it makes the historical encampment much more boring if cars will roll by every day… It is common that you may drive in and out from sites before and after the main event, but during the week/weekend when most people have come, you may not be able or permitted to drive all the way in to camp. Remember that you may want to leave your packing in a secure space during the night.įinally at site, we could drive in to our designated place and dump everything out from the car and trailer. planning breaks or overnight stays along the way makes the trip much more smooth, and you wont get dangerously tired while driving.Because we traveled with lots of gear we chose to stay at a hotel along the road, where we could lock the car and trailer in a secure place. Geographically we live in the middle of Sweden, but that doesn’t mean it is close to all events, this drive took us about 15 hours, and we chose to split it up on two days, with some sightseeing in the breaks. During Double Wars we packed the car and a trailer with all our camping gear, a friend and his stuff, some extras, a picnic bag… and then began the drive down to southern Sweden. One of the things I really like with our hobby is the historical camping on different events and markets. Come with us on a trip through Sweden and see how we live in a historical tent for one week!
