hello

Fake flowers are just fine. We use a lot of fake plants for decoration around the camp. Never have you seen so much plastic ivy outside a craft store.

My personal opinion is that fake roses are just fine.  I've a bit of a black thumb, after all, and I know that a fake one would last through the weekend, so long as I can manage to affix it to myself somehow. (I'll figure something out. )

Alright, so fake roses are fine, good that'll relieve my financial tension.

I have seen on the rules that any food I'd bring has to be in original sealed packaging, but dose that include food I might carry around with me, I plan on making a large, thick, lined leather knapsack for my characters needs such as  holding place for a warm cloak on cold days, would it be appropriate to carry food in time appropriate storage bags if it's buried underneath things such as the mentioned cloak.

Incase any are interested in the status of my rules reading, I'd imaging you're not though as this only affects how soon Rosemary will be officially having any form of character sheet and decided buffers and whether or not she'll be npcing full weekend for a bit or just having lots of npc experience but is still a pc will be dependant on the rules and sense I get from it, I am currently 1/7 done of reading rules.

As well, to save money and time of contruction I have a wooden staff in my closet I rarely use, keep in mind I do not plan on actually hurting someone with it, but would the wooden part alone be cause to never bring it to KR? I will understand and support if it is not allowed, it' simply something I am checking while adding expenses.

And as well, about wht time would you say I should arrive, I've estimated I'll need somewhere between 1hr 45 min - 2 hr to get to the camp from my home and have time to spare.

How much is the rule book as well?

As per the food... I don't know about any rules concern, but I do know a little about bears... and bears like food.  Becareful about the storage of the food, especially at night when you don't want to wake up to a bear eating your knapsack.  Remember, Steven Colbert says bears are one of our greatest threats today.

He also cut out the goofy smirk one of the candidates had after his big speech about hunting down Saddam and blah blah blah blah *smirk* But hopefully I'll figure out something, linen bags would be both think but full of holes, but my cloak is thick and woolly or thick woolly and leather like the knapsack would be, so I don't know if the thickness combined would work.
