Reenactment Discussion

[Landrik]

Go to the event and stay in a medical tent the whole time! Mwuhahaha! You can be the immersive "I'm dying of disease" casualty.

Nah, I kid. Get well soon!

I want to do NW reenacting but I don't have enough money, and I am a bit shy

I want to do NW reenacting but I don't have enough money, and I am a bit shy 

You don't really need a lot of money, you just need to be willing to spent it. It's expensive, yes, but it's nevertheless payable. A few hundred euros would cover you for a long time, and many regiments have clothing you can borrow.
Being shy is not a problem, so was (and still am) I.

If you could do re-enactment, what regiment/period/nation would you like to join?

[Van_Hulstein]

So far im interested in:
2de Grenadiers
5de bataljon militie
3e grenadiers

But i think i will join the 3e with you because they interest me the most, but I really really have to think about it.
Its a little maybe

[Duuring]

The 5de seems to be a little inactive (though they are undoublty still around, I've seen a few of them at battles), so yeah, 2e Bataljon van linie (Grenadier compagnie) or 3eme Grenadiers.

Personally I'm looking into the 6de Huzaren van Boreel. It's expensive, but I just sollicated for a job that might make it possible.

[Van_Hulstein]

Cool
The last weeks im really thinking about it.
Maybe I should watch an event first 
Can you suggest one for me, in the coming months?
That would be cool

[Duuring]

We have one this weekend in Bathmen, but I'll post the full list later.

[Jocam]

s'pose all the dutch reenactments are in the south?

[Duuring]

No. Bathmen is close to Deventer, and we have an event in Bourtange, Groningen, every two year.

[Van_Hulstein]

Oh nice, Groningen is close to me

[Duuring]

well, Bourtange ain't until another 1,5 years.

[Van_Hulstein]

Ah ok, thanks
From all those Almelo is the nearest, but I guess I have to deal with that, since Americans have to drive hours and hours

[Landrik]

Other than the odd ACW reenactment (I live in Fredericksburg, VA so I'm in the thick of it all), I typically have to drive 4-6 hours to an event. xD The further ones like in South Carolina or Pennsylvania it's more around 8 hours.

[König]

I'm in an almost identical boat as the one Landrik is in.

[munky-wunky]

well its 2 to 4 hours for me from dc possibly possibly 5
