  • Historic Costuming Presented by Jill Harrison
    Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Historic Costuming Presented By Jill Harrison IMPRESSIONS Each of us makes an impression before ever saying a word. We size up visitors all the time, anticipating behavior from their age, clothing, and demeanor. What do they think of interpreters, disguised as we are in the threads of another time? While stressing the importance of historically accurate costuming (outfits) and accoutrements for first- person interpreters, there are many reasons compromises are made - perhaps a tight budget or lack of skilled construction personnel. Items such as shoes and eyeglasses are usually a sticking point when assembling a truly accurate outfit. It has been suggested that when visitors spot inaccurate details, interpreter credibility is downgraded and visitors launch into a frame of mind to find other inaccuracies. This may be true of visitors who are historical reenactors, buffs, or other interpreters. Most visitors, though, lack the heightened awareness to recognize the difference between authentic period detailing and the less-than-perfect substitutions. But everyone will notice a wristwatch, sunglasses, or tennis shoes. We have a responsibility to the public not to misrepresent the past; otherwise we are not preserving history but instead creating our own fiction and calling it the truth. Realistically, the appearance of the interpreter, our information base, our techniques, and our environment all affect the first-person experience. Historically accurate costuming perfection is laudable and reinforces academic credence. The minute details can be a springboard to important educational concepts; but the outfit is not the linchpin on which successful interpretation hangs.

  • Ecuador Expedition – Equipment List © Copyright 2016, American Alpine Institute
    The Spirit of Alpinism www.AlpineInstitute.com [email protected] [email protected] Administrative Office: 360–671–1505 Equipment Shop: 360–671–1570 American Alpine Institute – Ecuador Expedition – Equipment List © Copyright 2016, American Alpine Institute Ecuador is named for its position on the Earth's equator, and certainly much of the country enjoys the tropical climate normally associated with that latitude. But the ascent of any of Ecuador's highest summits involves climbing into an alpine environment more comparable to Alaska than to the tropics. The range of temperatures that you will encounter on your trip is very large, so layering and versatility in your clothing choices will be very important. At lower elevations, temperatures can get up to 80°F (27°C), though this is not common. During acclimatization hikes and approaches to the mountains temperatures may range from 40F (4°C) to 75°F (24°C), but they are most commonly between 50°F (10°C) and 65°F (18°C). Summit temperatures on Cayambe, Cotopaxi, and Chimborazo usually range from 25°F to 45°F (-4°C to 7°C) but they can be as cold as 10°F (-12°C) and be accompanied by a strong wind. It is also important to note that while it is most likely that we will enjoy clear skies and lots of sun, we may also experience brief periods of significant rain or snow. With the climate changes that have occurred, this has become more common, especially in the last five years. So you can see why the key goals are layering and versatility.

Because of this, only participants prepared with the required equipment items will be allowed to participate on ADK trips. For the safety of the group, the instructor reserves the right to deny participation, without reimbursement, to any individual deemed inadequately equipped.

Footwear Equipment Notes Check Lists Required. Among hiking equipment, boots rank first in importance. Insulated boots are required. Do not bring summer hiking boots – this is a safety issue. For our terrain, acceptable boots provide the following: warmth from an insulated upper, or an internal bootie (Sorel style or plastic mountaineering) water resistance from fabric membrane (ex: Gore-Tex) and recent Insulated water-proofing treatment Boots good traction from a lugged sole (ex.

  • Advice to Competitors Regarding Footwear, Gaiters & Clothing
    Advice to Competitors Regarding Footwear, Gaiters & Clothing The advice is being provided to assist Competitors in 14WRC2016 choose their footwear, gaiters and clothing for the event. There are two key aspects of the terrain for this event which are quite different from many other rogaines with regard to the choice of equipment and particularly footwear and gaiters. These aspects are (i) Spinifex and (ii) the very rocky terrain. Spinifex Spinifex (Triodia species) is a tough, spiky tussock grass that dominates much of the red sand desert and rocky ranges of Central Australia. There are 64 species of Spinifex in Australia and 34 are found in the Northern Territory. However, in practical terms to a competitor in 14WRC2016 there are effectively two types of Spinifex on the course. There is the Spinifex that grows on the sandstone based soils which is quite tough and spiky and then there is the Spinifex which grows on the limestone based soils which is much tougher and much spikier. There are far greater areas of the “limestone” Spinifex on the course that there are of the “sandstone” Spinifex. Of course considerable areas of the course have little or no Spinifex and we will provide some indication where on the course the “heavy” Spinifex is. However, there is a reality that competitors who do not have footwear and gaiters suitable to deal with Spinifex will have an extremely uncomfortable event! Typical Spinifex Area Page 1 of 4 Spinifex Covered Hillside – A Common Sight on Parts of the WRC Course For people who have not experienced Spinifex before it is difficult to describe how challenging and painful it can be if you have inappropriate footwear and gaiters.
