I'm thinking about free standing weapon racks for camping ...
Should the weapons rack vertically or horizontally?

I could see the weapons racks being either. Depends on what you are putting on them and space available.

With 9 foot poles in the mix I would go more with vertical, it will take up less camp space...
Unless you have a behind load of weapons.

Ohayo,
For camp environments, I use vertical weapons racks. They, as previously mentioned, take up less space and lend themselves to yari. While I use a version similar to the one manufactured by Shogun Martial Arts, I'm giving serious thought to constructing one that uses portable holes as the foundation. The extra stability would be handy for those o-so-frequent times when everyone decides having the pokes out of the dust or mud seems like a good idea...

This is what I came up with this weekend. I wanted something small, light, and portable. This setups and breakdowns with no hardware. It cost about $20 to make. 8 1"x2"x8' 1 2'x4' 2mm luan 1 qt can of stain Its not as stable as I would like, but it'll do the job. It would be easy to convert this to a vertical stand, just add spacers to the top cross plates.     |

You stuff-makin' fool, you. ;D Its not as stable as I would like, but it'll do the job. Some sort of feet, maybe.... The one from By The Sword has horizontal bars at the bottom. What about a couple of slotted dowels that would fit over the wider slats you have at the bottom - that would keep it in it's "A" configuration. |
