My Ideal LARP Gear as Imagined

When I was younger my friend and I did LARP before we knew what it was. We called it dragon warrior--we had spent years beating the NES "Dragon Warrior" (now called Dragon Quest as it originally was in Japan) series. This is how I imagined my gear. We had tree branches that we carved and metal trashcan lids with steel strap-shaped handles in the middle (they dont make them like they used to). Later we found some old plastic armor and shield in my basement (just a breastplate and two arm guards).
