Why are so many reenactors obese? Doesn't this sort of take away from the authenticity?

The sound was incredible! Put the video on at work with headphones on and it was awesome. Also loved the shot of the Rebels walking past and checking on their Union counterparts. Shows the great community we have in the hobby.

I love the sound clips as well pard, and try to capture this when ever possible, the crackle of the fire or the marching of feet. I also intentional highlight the comradery and mutual respect for all involved in the hobby - tons of great folks out there. THANKS a ton pard for your comment.

I love how when the confederates are charging they’re asking if all the union soldiers are they OK and they’re saying they look good and they all make friends at the end. That’s just true spirit and that warms my heart bro that’s amazing. That’s another reason why I can’t wait to go to reenactments and be in reenactments! But it’s also cool but also surprising that like 13 or 15 year-old boys and girls their dancing that’s pretty cool. I guess I don’t know if you ever wanna go out reenacting follow your advice.
