Damn, well, in that case, make sure you refill your canteen every chance you got.

For some reason a lot of people don't have canteens in my reg. Making me, who has one, a very popular guy.

Well last year they had that:

So I guess they know what they are going to face. It is really hot, but it would be a shame if it would rain all day. Especially on Gettysburg 150th.

Olafson, at civl war reenacments  they have "ice angles" which are women who are in period civilain cloths who walk around with ice so pretty much the same   

Some events do, some events don't. But I think both Gettysburg events allow ice angels on the field. They are amazing. especially when you have been laying on the ground for a while.

Well, I have no problems with that. It is fine, and it is a good idea. Worst thing would be someone actually getting hurt, falling unconscious, whatever, because it was too hot.

There have been reports of French Cuirassiers getting heatstrokes and falling of their horses. Or people actually burning themselves by touching the curass or helmet.

Thank God I'm a light cavarlyman.

Right. What's that in celcius?

Because I don't presume you are going to re-enact in the temperature at which water boils.

37 C

Good gods.

20 degrees Celsius is too much for me, and I tend to spend summer in a t-shirt drinking gin.
Actually no. No gin.

Not after what happened last time...

I had planned on doing that, but unfortunately there weren't enough Germans to make a big enough pile.

So straight up help me out on this folk. How do you recommend getting to sleep in just a gum blanket and wool blanket? Do you think stuffing my jacket into my haversack would make a good pillow?

Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

Nope. Wear it or drape it over your head. Either way, you'll want it. If the pillow business is bothering you that much, just use the terrain.
