I need to cook spme more bluegill

They are pretty tasty

Ye

@goofy_murican I never thought I'd want/need them... but I think I'm gonna get some puttees just as a fashion statement... hahaha

hell yeah bro

they are such an under rated piece of kit

And now I need a throwback uniform to WWI

I want like a modernized version....

If you can make that work, go ahead

I have no idea how I'd do it. Lol

Or if I ended up making that AR musket, maybe I'd use some kinda modernized 1700s garb

I mean, I'm gonna be rocking the civil war garb with a tacticalized musket...

I've already got a Civil War Unifom.

Yankee or reb?

Mainly Yank, I was cavalry. But would occasionally go Reb at some events if we needed to help even the numbers.

I see

I do yankee reenacting as infantry

still working on piecing together my uniform

Yeah, It's not a cheap hobby and I honestly have been hurt more by horses than anything else. So I don't really do it anymore.

I did it as something to do with my dad, but I dislike horses enough to not want to get back into it.

that stinks

I've had a pretty good time doing infantry myself. although I would like to get my hands on a 12 pounder gun for shits and giggles

Hahaha, you know the rule for being an artillery man, right?

Don't stick your dick where the powder goes

You have to weigh as much as the cannon in order to be one.

lmao

I don't know if you've ever even looked at those guys.

But they're some big boys.

I have, and you ain't wrong

Only ever ran into one crew that wasn't obese. Really cool dudes out of Georgia, they were horse-drawn artillery.

it's almost like they picked the most sedentary position in the hobby...

We were doing the Red River Campaign a few years back, week long campaign. It was actually really fucking cool. And there were two crews of horse-drawn arty that we were escorting through the woods.

dude, those long campaign events are the shit. too bad up here we don't really do those

Yeah, I don't imagine there are many guys that do that stuff there.

closest we get are the weekend long tactical events once in a blue moon

Omg, so did you see the 150th Getteysburg a few years back?

not personally, no. but I saw a few clips on youtube

It was amazing. The charge was beautiful to see 10,000 Confederates marching across an open field, tearing down fences and approaching the Union line.

As Cav, I was acting as a courier for that event, and I got a front row seat to it all.

I did see that clip. I bet it was better in person

Yeah, it was pretty awesome. It was a 3 week campaign.
