Bark Armor

[Resture]

Don't worry. I'm sorry for such an unrealistic suggestion.
I forgot that back in ancient times people would build hearth fires with dreams...
And whenever they got in danger they would use their really cool magical powers and teleport back to them.
They would also go farm a bunch of carrots in their younger days cause they wanted better perception, because if they didn't get that shit up... they wouldn't find all the better herbs.

hmm.

But on a side note. I think the boiled leather is a good idea too.

Realism arguments aside, I don't understand what's the point of bark armour. Leather is piss-easy. Besides, if you're still at the stage where you don't even have leather, no armour is going to be much use to you. Armour without combat skills just prolongs the agony for extra hit or two.

if you think every nettle and every part of them are the stinging part your a idiot.

The irony in this post is hilarious.

This the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard of, Bark was never used as armor and I don't think it ever will be. Besides, does it take much for some newbie to get hunting, catch a few rabbits, make a drying rack, and dry them in a tub? Seriously?

Because wearing nettle shirts is realistic.

We need birch bark shoes.

well...
...wooden armour aren't weird. O.o asians used it, maya too etc etc.
But hunt rabbits and skin them is enough.

I don't know between wood and rabbit skin, what's better.



I think isn't exactly European Armour, a wooden one.
