Ursus: Lifestyle

Lifestyle
I have no persona to write for myself. The reason for this is because this is what I do in my free time. I range/ranger. I was raised and mentored by living history enthusiast's, survival experts and combat instructors. I am proud to call men like Mark Baker an acquaintance and a friend. My own father is a primitive living specialist and lecturer and has been my biggest mentor and inspiration in rangering.

As I child I read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings at a very young age and the Silmarillion my freshman year. Tolkien has always been my escape when life gets crazy. I also have a deep abiding love for the dark ages and the welsh/british warriors of the day. Possibly my biggest love is for HEMA, especially sword usage.

This combined with my upbringing means that much of my gear is my working interpretation of a mix of longhunter, Tolkien, and a dark age british chieftain. In real life Im a father, husband and a working man who enjoys the challenges of leadership. Were I to roll all this into one I'd call Ursus a Dunedain cheiftain and a woodsman who often goes alone into the wild and is a strict follower of the warriors way.
