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
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.
Each week was ran by a different organization. So we had little breaks in between.
I actually almost got Trench Foot during my second week. Had to take some time to let my feet air out. They were burning.
