[MR] [SCA-Laurels] medieval Scottish fighting garb

[sorren23 at nc.rr.com]

if you aren't dead-set on urine, there are lots of plant materials that 
yield a very intense yellow, yellow being one of Mother Nature's favorite 
colors.
Mahonia sp. any part of plant with alum salts will give a yellow-orange
red clover (cover crop) anything above the ground with alum salts will give 
a nice gold
sumac bark for bright yellow
madder also but I don't know what mordant - alum produces brighter colors 
usually
and lastly weld with alum.

Good luck!
