So, I have been telling my kids about the poetic Eddas at night, in guise of bedtime stories. They have been really enjoying these tales, and have been requesting more. Now to my surprise they are drawing Thor and that naughty giant who came to drink from Thor’s cup... I have to admit that I am touched that they would not only request more stories, but also draw about them! And I get to practice my storytelling too! 😄. #norsekids #asatru #asatrukids #undyingstories #happyfamily👪 #intentionalliving #intentionalparenting #amazingtwins #storytime (at Westsyde) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2kxnnIHDGG/?igshid=10bm4kq8c9egg

2am and cannot sleep. As good a time as any to get going on tracing the shape of the stopper for that seax I want to make! That is right, brain: you may be trying to mess with me, but I have better things to do! 😄 #insomnia #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Westsyde) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2TkdXOHqFT/?igshid=eae3o06p397r

Perks of homeschooling: I can take the kids for an early hot tub session. They are really enjoying going from the cold pool to the hot tub... nurturing the Scandinavian blood in them 😄 #stepdadmoment #intentionalliving #intentionalparenting #intentionalhomeschooling #intentionallife #stepdadsmatter #proudstepdad #proudstepfather #homeschooling #happyfamilytime #happyfamilylife #leadingbyexample (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1thztcnYL6/?igshid=1r2ssxka2gekv

Nice end to the weekend; got some training done, the kids got to spend some time with one of their new friends, and ended with a nice impromptu potluck dinner in the fading afternoon sun! Proof that you can still get medieval with kids around! It’s almost like a big family 😊 Big thanks to Theo and Russell, always a pleasure to have you gents over. To the rest of you in Ramsgaard, we will catch you after Crown! #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby #happystepdad (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1m-aEvnkpS/?igshid=w678utthg43o

Best family nature walk day at Isobel Lake! If you have not gone there and want a nice relaxed walk (even wheelchair friendly!!!), I recommend the place wholeheartedly! #kamloopstrails #familydays #homeschooledkids #intentionalliving #intentionalparenting (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1foYw6HFnQ/?igshid=1kneylkznqpnm

Production line at Sir Mark’s for some plastic gauntlets. Sure they may not be as pretty as some nice steel ones, but it gets people out on the field a lot faster than other alternatives, and certainly good enough to keep scrapes and bruises off in training! #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1eOG8rnq8N/?igshid=1tt9009e0ze5h

Who has seen or is watching the series The Boys?

Turns out I had a little helper today! Even reminded me to make all the tools safe and unplugged when I was done 😄 #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby #proudstepdad #proudstepfather #homeschooling (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FarcwHQKZ/?igshid=gdvdymivhtbq

Finally, one more project completed! Amusingly enough, I found setting all the straps the most difficult in all of this! The tooling of the big plates was relatively easy, with the pressure of failing growing as I was affixing every piece one after the other... I am none the less really happy with the results so far, and can only hope that it will bring its new owner many hours of pleasure on the field! #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B05NBo5n4gC/?igshid=1m3y87zidqjv7

From concept, embossing, cutting and riveting... it’s been a journey for this one project! Glad to see it nearing completion and looking forward to seeing this brigandine’s owner on the field! #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B00xvAZH3bw/?igshid=lbsr5r3sqt1j

Had an awesome training day today, thanks to Hazard, Shane, Russell, Travis and Mark! We all got to get some armour on and trade blows (except Shane; boooooo 😂). Took out the new helm for the first time and I am super happy with the results! Between that and my wonderful Natasha ordering sushi for supper; makes it hard to top! #happysundays #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0e5tnonJja/?igshid=1du2k40xgkxh2

When you need a skiving knife; realize you don’t have a skiving knife, the old bush knife comes to the rescue once again! 😅😆 #onlysolutions #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0eCb9JnhFt/?igshid=380mx8qpzbrp

Ok, tab number one almost folded. Was getting a bit stubborn, but nothing that a bit of heating up would not fix... next is the joining tab at the back of the helm, face cage and chainmail! Might have a new helm to train in for the weekend even! 😄 Feeling accomplished. #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0E0ge8H0ZF/?igshid=zj5sl77x4pgh

Getting a bit impatient... time for lunch, cool my jets down and then come back to these two pesky tabs. The upside is: almost done with the brim! After that it will just be some dressing up before moving on to the next step. #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0B9q8JHzl_/?igshid=x9yjcnw7rfqx
