Hey! Stumbled upon this video this evening, and I just wanted to say thank you for the positive feedback on my video! I'm glad you found it funny, enjoyable and informative at the same time. I enjoyed your video on my video, and will definitely watch some more. Happy to see another reenactor interested in doing it right! Btw, the frozen meat scene was from a 10 day field winter event in -10/-20 below freezing sleeping in a cramped bunker with little food and sleep. The last 2 days the field event turned into a battle with a large group of soviets.. it was constant fighting both day and night, with probes or large scale attacks. We spent 2 whole days static in our fighting positions (which we named the Alamo) with no sleep. I even managed to get minor frostbite on my feet to the point that my feet got so swollen that I threw away my boots that became too tight and continued on defending the Alamo for another several hours wearing just my socks - stupid yes, but a very memorable experience. After 10 days in "extreme" conditions, "sleeping" in a bunker, with little or no food, wearing and only using correct equipment, really gets you into the Zone for sure. An unbelievable and miserable experience. The only thing you have to rely upon is the fellow next to you. Watching out for one another.. In order to receive the "frozen meat" award (eastern front medal) is to go through the "same" miserable stuff they did back then. You have to spend 60 days and nights out in Sub-Zero temperatures, 14 days in "combat" or frostbite so severe that it would warrant the issue of a wound badge. The awards, if any, should represent something, and not be handed out easily. One of the most rewarding aspects I find with re-enacting is that when you read or talk to veterans about their experiences, or even if you watch a movie - you understand and can relate to the practical and fundamental part of what is was like to be a soldier back then - to some greater extent. It's almost like a 4D experience, especially if you have visited the exact area the story took place, in the sense that you get a sense of the landscape and distances etc. It's a wonderful important and rewarding hobby! Ps. Sorry for rambling on and on. 😅 Merry Christmas and best regards from Norway! 🇧🇻🤗

Your long vids don’t bother me, would love to see more.

Love the videos. I just hope I do not make the list 😂
