 Free Gothic Styled Box Chair plans - I came across the article for the Viking Box Chair at Medieval Pavilion Resources a few years ago, and the project kind of stuck in my head. The one in the article appeared to be more shaped of a box rather than utilized as one (it did not open), so I was not fond of the design...but I liked the concept. Besides, we sit on whatever\'s available around the fire, including the nearest box or chest, right? Once upon a Pennsic, someone I camped near had a little chemical toilet in the tent, one of the fancy kinds that flushes. She kept it behind a large scarf hung in the corner of a Viking tent. The setup did not seem sensible to me; one would have to concern themselves with stepping on the scarf and yanking it down, tripping over things, what if stuff was piled up in front of the drape? Nevertheless I really liked the idea of having the toilet inside the tent, rather than getting up in the middle of a cold rainy night, having to get dressed, strap on boots and brave the muddy road and treacherous ditches just to get to a stinky porta-potty, where the only difference between that and the woods is a plastic wall to break the wind (no puns intended!).
