Gail,Medicine Bear and Kirk,  As with the note I sent to Kirk, the most
important thing you can take to your first rondy is a good attitude.  With
that, you will get advised, loaned clothing if necessary, allowed to shoot
others' guns, fed, invited to camp-fires and filled with tall tales of
derring-do.  Your intent to learn is as important as your stuff being period
correct.  With regard to 'non-period' items, most rendezvous' will allow them
as long as they are kept totally concealed.  And, although most of the AMM
guys are as correct as it gets, I do know those that have had mocs made over
pac-boot linings for use in the snow, and more than one that sleeps on a
therma-rest inside their bedroll. They may use the claim that its for medical
reasons, but I think not.  Hope this helps some.  PJ
