| PREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST EVENT |
You should be assigned a sponsor upon declaring your intent to attend a re-enactment. He will do his best to work with you to get you what you need from his own kit or from others, it will include the following:
WOOLEN ITEMS
Jacket, Trousers, & if needed a blanket
LEATHER ITEMS
Belt, cartridge box, capbox & if possible shoes.
MISC.
Musket, haversack, canteen & a hat.
YOU WILL NEED TO SUPPLY THE ITEMS BELOW:
1 or 2 plain white pillow cases ( or crocus bags) to hide and carry things in/Extra blankets, if needed
A roll of toilet tissue/Medications/toothbrush
Candles/matches/pocket knife/watch
A small cooler with ice & softdrinks (and something to cover it up with)
Bread/fruit/jerky or other nonperishable food, cans OK too.
70-100 pre prepared rounds/70-100 musket percussion caps/rags.
Keep is as simple as possible. Plan very carefully, make a list of what you'll need. The fewer anachronistic things you bring, the easier it is to hide it.
