Fire-Truck

Something I've done at Pow-Wow's in the evening is have a Blanket Trade. It's a lot of fun plus a chance to get to know other reenactors. Everyone has something to Trade, plus no money...

Just ordered mine, Thank you for not only writing it, but posting it here so a Ole MS seating by his cooler (68qt) can enjoy.

I'm a member of the 46th Tenn. We have a original Battery Forge, which is nice for display at living History events. Its complete, the only thing it does not have is Vols. in the summer to...

Fuel--------------Florida. I paid 4.15 today for High Grade (Corvette). Diesel Truck is what I use to haul a Cannon with. Gettysburg 145th I paid 4.89 at one station in Maryland. Hope it goes down...

I'll second that-----------------------------MONEY. That many Sutlers, your going to find something you don't need.

Enjoy-----------------Picketts Charge at the 145th GAC-was a grand.

The 145th had two events GAC and Mr. Anders High Tide event. Much like this year one was held a week before the other. GAC had 15 thousand while Mr. Anders event had about 12 hundred based...

Gettysburg

For the Folks that had hope that there would only be one Gettysburg as opposed to 2, does the departure of ANV from BGA and its event have a bearing. Based on what I've been told, ANV...

Jubilo

With two Events I would not expect anything close the the 145th. Even with Anders High Tide event which only had about 1200 did not hurt the bigger GAC event. This coming year with more...

Flattop

That would be nice on the donation side of things. 1st. Federal Division in charge of the Western Troops, at the BGA-Gettysburg event? They are or have been the other half of the equation...

RJ

Given your statement, Perryville this year was International-----------------------Was it the Golf Carts or the EMS on site that took it over the top (International). Still on a learning curve...

Given the nature of the Hobby, what is the base line of a National Event. With food and Fuel at a some of the highest levels we've seen in years, appears Folks are staying close to home. Numbers may...

I'll second that, and I've been to more than a few. Worth the time and gas if your in our part of the Country.

Well said--------------I don't have a problem with for profit, Perryville 150th and the CPH approach to donations would make this Poster happy. With the numbers involved and the money from...

Perryville Kentucky 150th---------------50,000.00 towards that worthy cause, with only 2000 reenactors. We know GAC is for profit. Been there done that, 145th GAC-Gettysburg. Does BGA have the same...

Bill

Your right in everything you posted. If you don't help with the expenses move on. For those that pull the 57'' models the F-150 won't get the job done. Think F-350 4X4---------Priced one...

Like you Hats off with your work for the Scouts--------------------Being a Life Scout myself, I'll always remember my 1st March and Hiking Medal. Dry Canteen-Perryville Kentucky----------1965. Keep...

Like all things in this country it's about the money. Two Shiloh's, Two Gettysburg's. Does make one think. History is part of the equation, but not the most important one. When they leave the Lights...

Gettysburg

Having done Events with the BGA and having attended the 145th Gettysburg, past pattern is at play. For those that went to Twin Rivers, Missonary Ridge, Brice's Crossroads and the most...

Picketts Charge on Sunday-------------------------------We had 75 CS-Guns lined up. Burned Powder like I was digging it out of the backyard. When the CS forces came out of the woods and...

I was at the 145th Gettysburg----------------------For the Folks that have a problem with the for profit approach, I ask one question. Think its any better in the West. I paid 2 dollars for a cup of...

Shiloh #1 and Shiloh #2-------------------------------------here in the West. Follow the money, see who profits, individuals or that worthy cause. Some Events are like giving to the FOP. Admin. cost...

Good advice------------another source is the internet. I've bought things off of Ebay and Sutlers you won't find at reenactments. Clothes are easy to find. The rifle is another story. Good...

Fun-Hobby

For those Folks that want to have the pleasure of making their own Knife or Tent stakes, don't miss this chance to learn. If I had to make one recommendation its a lot more fun in the...

You know it is, all the money over the years. I don't care if its going to a worthy cause---Perryville special place in Kentucky. Others need not apply.
