Hi All,
Just caught this thread.I have had the joy of reenacting for ,oh say 30 some years. ( Please don't age me,lol).
I have been told and have seen that some folks don't get along.I am still surprised by what people fight over.
This has affected my choices greatly.
The choices led me to working as a volunteer at a lovely museum.
Just this past year,I received notice that my museum hadn't funds to stay open.( Not the point here).
When the local reenactors found out, the bs and crap vanished and a small core group of every kind of reenactor has stood up and answered the call for help. They all had the one solid feeling,loving the fun of history.
I'm a humble person but I think my statement in German goes for all reenactors.
"Where your treasure is,there also is your heart". " Wo Euer Schatz Ist,Da Auch Ist Euer Herz."
I really try to focus on that when I start to get bogged down and I get back to why I became a part of the wonderful world of reenacting in the first place
.I met the coolest people and had the most fun reliving history.

At my museum we have had colonials,7 yr war ,civil war and WW2 reenactors sharing pizza ,beer , wine and cigars and it is awesome.
( The women share recipes too,lol).
Wow, I wrote a lot,but hope y'all are having fun in spite of the unacceptable behaviors.( Someone starts sayin wierd stuff,i respond with,"we don't do that here".You should see the looks I get ,lol).
Strumkaze, A boat,amazing.
