I really appreciate how authentic you all are but also realistic. No need for someone to endure a terrible headache or to have a sore bum because gold bond isn't authentic.

"You guys have tents?" -Southern Reenactors everywhere.

Thanks for bringing back so many memories from when I was in "the hobby" back during the 125th Anniversary marching with Holme's Brigade. I had a wedge tent as well, but I bought a rope tention, wood frame bed with a straw tick, candle lantern on my bread box table and ammo box for all my other traps. And, of course, my Enfield rifle musket. God, I miss the hobby.

Having been in the US military myself I think you would have made an awesome real military top Sgt.

Everytime I watch one of these videos, I'm impressed by the amount of time and effort that goes into everything you guys do. You truly honor the soldiers of the war and what they believed in. Huzzah!

Well this video inspired me to get one, got a used one today in Flagstaff Arizona, wish me luck.

Your wife should do a video about civilian reenacting.

As a wwii reenactor, its cool to see alot of the comparisons w you guys. We also use ammo cans for hiding stuff. I personally put my phone and charging pack in there, along w extra enblocks and such for my garand. Cots as well, we hide stuff under.

Really really cool tent set up. Thanks for sharing this, and thanks for the great ideas. I'm enjoying all the Regiment's vids.

And no this is not an excuse for you to untie the closed a frame to look inside, little kids...

Panther Primitives ,sutler out of West Virginia has some awsome wooden water kegs. I’m going to get a 5 gal for myself, maybe a 10 gal for the company . They also have smaller chared oak ones for the Burbon & Rum, ect,,. Just do a search on line for them. Yes cost a bit but every year I try to get something more to improve my impression.

Awesome information. Thanks for sharing!🇺🇸

Get a reproduction bread box; used mine as a nightstand when I set it upright on end and the lid was where my lantern, spectacles, a testament and tin plate went. Below were a few books and my ammo box full of my gun cleaning patches and kit, a tin of musket caps, a powder flask and measure.

Very well done thank you.

Excellent. Just the video I was looking for. Cheers.

Thanks for your honesty when addressing us "hardcores" for the warning on the well.........csmpimg with muskets

I enjoy your videos. I'm glad you attempt to hide the non-authentic extras we use for comfort and to continue with the hobby as we get older. My question is in which video do you tell how to make your cone pick or nipple pick? The sutler's prices for a piece of wire is unreal.

Thanks for doing this video it has inspired me hide as much modern stuff as possible.

Appreciate the video. Maybe replace your slippers with leather moccasins even if they have some griping tread. They would be better. I love your boxes do you sell any????

Any advice to where I can get a wall tent with a stove pipe hole?

Great video as always. Can you do a video of how to sew your water cooler cover .

This seems like a really healthy and fun unit to be in. I've reenacted before, but I've had bad experiences with toxic units and members

Having dropped out of ACW back in 1997, I remember that it was a trend not to try to hide the farby stuff, but not to bring it. Has that changed so much?

Hey, First Stripe, how would you do things differently when Mrs. First Sergeant joins you in the field?

where is a good place to get an A-frame tent

1SGT, I commend your attention to authenticness and detail. The inside of my A-Frame would send a campaigner into cardiac arrest. I love camping but I also love being comfortable.

Do you think you guys will be at Chickamauga

We have an event coming up that has water issues. I was going to buy a few cases of water for my son and I. I don't have canvas covers or enough wool blankets. What I do have oddly enough is a lot of burlap material. Would that be period correct? I can't find anything online. Thanks.

Where can you get correct canteens that can safely be used for drinking from.

Nice video again, thank you. Where do. you get the manuals online? Can I also find the morning reports etc online? Thank you 1.Sgt Koepp 🇺🇸👍🏻

When I was in my early to mid 20s I was a hardcore campaigner .now that I am in my very late 40s I like comfort that is covered up like yours. One example I have a battery operated fan, and I have a ammo box that stores my cpap machine and battery supply and cell phone charger. I also sleep on a cot with a mattress covered up with period correct issues blankets Question where did you get the copies of the manuals.

Do you think it's generally ok for a private to have an A-Frame is sleeping comfortably if crucial for said private.

We are on vacation after all. I do an earlier time and try to stay more historically correct. But never got my breechcloth in a wad over what I can’t see.

*LIKED* another fine video --- *1st Minn Sharpshooters* channel with Civil War reenactor live fire, hard marching, and rustic adventures ... enlist today.

love the quilt is that a replica from that eraa?

Would a small barrel work to carry water.

I want to know more about your company D I'd like to join I live in Montana

Where can i buy a berdan knapsack thank you.

Should have heeded your warning, now my neck hurts. 🤪

What is a good resource to find those manuals?

Would it be possible to get a link to a copy of that first sergeant morning report form, for my reenactment group?

This is very accurate, everything on here looks like it was pulled from 1861 👍 P.S I am a reenactor too, I'm with the rebels

I would not say hiding or cleverly disguising modern essentials as "farby". Wearing or displaying modern contrivances like sunglasses or wrist watches or eating modern snacks with obvious wrappings or drinking beer out of a can is farby. I always wanted to continue my living history interests and impressions (Rev war, CW, or WW2) but the wife was neither a fan of reenacting or camping in general....actually adamantly against both. So I "Walter Middy" my way when attending reenactments as an observer. And as they say..."Happy wife...happy life". Oh...What we do for love...LOL But she is a big fan of collecting 17th and 18th century antiques and furniture...so all is not lost.

I m wondering why they made the tents white in c color? it would be too easy for the enemy to find the camp. brown would be a better choice

4 or 5 slabs of straw - taken to any re-enactment makes it just right ! Just hall them there in a big leaf trash bag.

Man my old group had us sleeping 4 to a tent

No ground cloth?

I am with the second US sharpshooters as a Seargent in War of Rights

when I saw the thumbnail for this video , i wondered what that big white thing was , a TENT ! , wow in all my years of Civil War living history i never used one , my battalion did not allow them , campaign camping only , if it rains - you get wet

Wedge tent

I always put a gallon zip lock baggie of ice in my haver sack----At first Id' get lavughed at.--but as they started dropping like flies I was the most popular guy in the company. Also would soak my sack coat in water. Muuch more pleasant for summer re enacting. Also never wore socks in hot weather.

do you try to disguise cameras when reenacting and making videos like this?

apart from that soddin camera goin in n out of focus twas a good vid

the ground would have been straw

i tell you whut.... i hope they dont have passers like ( spectators ) by wanting to inspect the camp at the peak hours.. but then they have those farbism videos too.. but atleast hes not trying to hide it.. but then how often is it that you get much people wanting to check out the tents.. i dont

Haha no RV campers running their generator all day here

Mainstream** reenactor.

Far you ALERT, FARBY ALERT, FARBY ALERT A BIG ONE, come on man, cabela’s?? Modern sleeping bag? Really? I like your shoulder BUT. ,,, BY THE WAY AN A tent is not the purpose to hide people’s FARBYism, It is to provide shelter . Strive to get better always.
