Adventurer Backpack - Black

As an Adventurer, you never know who you might be working for or what beast you’ll be sent to dispatch next. There’s only one thing for certain: if there’s enough money or glory to be had, you’re the right person for the job.

On your travels you keep your armour and belongings close by, secure inside your Adventurer Backpack. Along with your weapon and your skill, you expect that you may yet live to be a wisened old veteran. You certainly have the survival instinct.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Adventurer Backpack is a framed medium-sized knapsack that can hold up to 20,000 cubic cm (or about 20 liters). Made from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, reinforced canvas and soft split-leather, this backpack is designed to evenly distribute weight on the shoulders thanks to its cushioned split-leather straps. The leather has been shaped and stitched to add structure and prevent the bag and straps from deforming with heavy-use. The bag’s frame is made of rigid leather sewn together, adjustable on the face with two large straps.

The Adventurer Backpack’s leather frame fits around a removable canvas bag, closed with a drawstring and a decorated leather cover fitted with two leather straps. Eight round and D-ring fastenings are fitted on the backpack for additional gear. The practical aspect of the design and the style of the backpack makes it a great accessory anywhere you need a handy knapsack for transporting your gear around without breaking character.

HISTORY

• Historically used by hunters to carry hunting tools and game
• Typically made from leather and animal intestines
• Backpacks were not made a popular fashion choice until the 1950s

Be brave, take risks, prepare for the unexpected

The Single Cotton Hose from Epic Armoury is a typical example of medieval fashion worn throughout the middle ages and renaissance period. This rough cotton hose is sold by the unit so you may personalize the look of your Larp character by mixing colors. Whether you play a peasant or squire, the hose should be a staple in your period wardrobe. Cotton hosen are both comfortable, and practical to wear during hot summer months and can be worn with braies for a typical historical look. This legging has a drawstring and can be attached to braies or a belt (sold separately), and is made to withstand the rigours of battle.

Good for picking ye olde locks.
Available in two stylish colours, you rogue!

You hold your knife between your teeth, keeping it accessible while your hands are busy using your Thieves Tools to pick a noble’s unguarded luggage. Leaving anything valuable without a guard is like an invitation to steal it...at least that’s been your experience.

With a satisfying ‘click!’ the lock comes undone and you pry the chest open to reveal--oh, yes! That will do nicely. You pocket what looks to be a sizeable purse and a few interesting looking weapons, before carefully replacing the lock and sneaking out of the tent undetected.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Thieves Tools are a collection of steel and brass tools designed to pick locks or disable traps. The set includes a lock pick, mini saw, functional brass magnifying glass, universal key and a tiny hammer.

Keep all your Thieves Tools safe by storing them in the included holder made from soft, split-leather. Secure the holder closed using its top-grain leather strap, and keep it handy by attaching it to your belt using its hanger. Whether you are a rogue looking to make an easy coin, or an adventurer who wants to be ready for the most dangerous dungeons, the Thieves Tool set is a great prop to have!

HISTORY

Putting all her belongings on the ground next to her, she studied them. A bedroll, a mess kit, flint and tinder, three torches, a ration so old it was harder than rock and had developed fur, and a small diary. These and her father's sword were all she had. Looking at them spread out, she smiled and put them back into the adventurer's backpack. Hefting it on her back, she felt its comforting weight, like a blanket placed over her by her mother when she was a child. She was ready.

Epic Armoury's suede Adventurer Backpack is a medium-sized knapsack that holds about 20 litres. The outer layer is suede, making it comfortable and durable. The straps and strings are adjustable to ensure a comfortable fit. It's shaped and stitched to provide structure and prevent it from being deformed from exposure to weather. The shoulder straps are also suede, with leather strengthening to protect from wear and tear. 

The inner part of the backpack is a canvas bag with brass eyelets and two leather straps that allow you to tighten or loosen it.

Backpacks were less common throughout history than most people believe, but with fantasy literature and games, the backpack has become a necessity. Every adventurer should always have a backpack.
