Gear for reenacting

[@Beowulf1ca]

Hey, From one re eanctor to another. They gloves are called trigger mittens

[@1stminnsharpshooters341]

Thanks for the explanation, I have not done Revolution war reenacting but have 1820 to 1865. *LIKED* and *SUBSCRIBED* See you on the field, at the range, or around the camp fire pards --- *1st Minnesota Sharpshooters*

[@1stminnsharpshooters341]

I really appreciate that you dress the part and have a historical backdrop in this video - nicely done.

[@shulzyyy9024]

F in chat for his homemade cocked hat Na lol jk thought it was actually pretty cool

[@Beowulf1ca]

They are called a whisk and pick musket tools. Also a good tool to have is a tri-tool which looks like a three point Star with a thick flat head screw top, a thin flat head screw top and a pick used to tighten your dog screw on the musket flintlock

[@Flintlock_And_Tomahawk]

Tighten up that sling, it should be tightly against the stock

[@erniepappa3900]

Shulzyy that’s very rude

[@shulzyyy9024]

Ernie Pappa k

[@jeffreymcintire8273]

[@jnlaf]

[@youthvirginiaregiment5589]

Very Nice. Thank You.

[@henrystein8313]

Very interesting. Thanks for the vedio 👍

[@89boy38]

Very nice

[@formam1022]

The reason the gloves didnt have fingures was because they got in the way of shooting

[@lumbago7850]

him this tomahawk is for throwing me oh shit i dont think i wanna die

[@jaromirpodola5159]

Please, for Gaiters: Have I to use brass buttons or metal buttons?

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Jaromír Podola Metal buttons would be fine

[@jaromirpodola5159]

​@@americanrevolutionreenacto2357 Thank you :)

[@Flintlock_And_Tomahawk]

Your going to want bone or metal...

[@lag_hag851]

I love the re-enactment things (even though I live in Southern California) and I was wondering where you got that smaller musket (and the tools) and how much it all costs.

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Amazon for around 150

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Lane Gallistel the tools and gun can be different prices everywhere both were given to me so I can’t give an exact price. -Matt

[@lag_hag851]

Thanks!

[@historydude446]

Iag_hag Im in SOUTH CALIFORNIA and im part of a revolutionary war reenacting group :)

[@Beowulf1ca]

The bayonet. The sheath is called a scabbard and the belt is called a frog.

[@bushwackerben1313]

Do the fake muskets still make noise and smoke and all.

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Bushwacker Ben No they work in a similar way but you cannot load them and smoke doesn’t come out. Otherwise it would be a real musket.

[@sammyklauke7310]

Ive been wanting to reenact with my friends but my parents said im too young for a musket, do you need a liscence for them?

[@twistthegreat9409]

man i really want to reenact

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

TwiZtMods Well if you can I suggest you should because it is lots and lots of fun, not to mention the people are so nice and over time they become a second family. Plus it gives you a great understanding and love of history and how our country was made.

[@twistthegreat9409]

@@americanrevolutionreenacto2357 ok thx

[@КарлДарлоуВратарь]

no the cameraman laughing lol

[@idk6533]

Hmmm Now I feel like dumping some tea in the harbor

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Sounds like a plan

[@wintersheritagehouse4277]

Thank you! Helpful :)

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

You're welcome!

[@tacticalministries3508]

I believe the gloves would be fingerless to make it easier to grip kusket balls as you load them

[@89boy38]

Also where did u get the pistol

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Amazon

[@axerxes3981]

And, assuming someone was interested in purchasing some of this delightful equipment.... where would you find a supplier???

[@audaxhistoricus7467]

Where can you get a regimental coat for the British army?

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Ezio Fanboy You would have to get one made and specifically fitted to your body by a tailor in a reenacting group.

[@Infantryprod]

Hey man nice vid.

[@animalbros1461]

I am going to be a drummer boy. Have any tips on just starting

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Animal Bros Definitely watch some videos or buy CDs of fife and drum music and do some research on drummers of the American Revolution. And there is a book full of all the drum commands and songs, called Military Music of the American Revolution and even if you can’t read music, like me just listen to the sound of the drums and try to play it.

[@animalbros1461]

Thanks for letting me know. I have also been looking at the civil war so I might do that too.

[@jumbocatstudios7239]

Animal Bros also a tip: if you decide to be a casualty, only fall on your back, so you won’t damage your drum.

[@000bullets]

Where do you buy the musket and pistol?

[@89boy38]

Where did u get your musket

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

89 Boy I got it for a little over 200$ on Amazon

[@clipcentral5737]

??? There goes my thought of being a reinactor

[@yabloko3279]

The musket looks great is it from denix?

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

yes, at the time I was using a denix

[@michaelmurphy7784]

Basically No state will allow you to use a Powder for use in re-enactments Carriages Period

[@nobutternotes]

Great video! Where did you purchase your flintlock pistol?

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Good old fashion amazon

[@nobutternotes]

@@americanrevolutionreenacto2357 then I doubt it actually fires haha

[@historicallyAL03]

One question; Where did you specifically get most of the gear from.

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

The hands of god (We made it)

[@sanderfredriksli6759]

were did you get the knapsack and the cartridge box

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Sander Fredriksli They are homemade but you can buy them at some reenacting sutlers

[@footworkking127]

where could i get a musket

[@RidingAlong284]

I know you bought the Musket from Amazon but do you remember what the company or brand of the musket was?

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Vrantix Denix Replicas

[@BlueViper8907]

Powder horns illegal? Where can I find more information on what states are legal/illegal?

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Cody Freese In Massachusetts they are only illegal to load gunpowder into guns with but you can still use them for looks. I don’t know where to find information on other states though.

[@midgetttv]

Well little more explaining but great video you spent a lot of money on those Lol. Do you do civil war re enacting and the american war of independence ?

[@midgetttv]

Already know the american independence war

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

WW2 and AWI, also vietnam

[@angrytoast3987]

Where did you get the coat?

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

[@mdcclxxxi8509]

Where did you get the flag from

[@midgetttv]

Where did you get the bayonet?

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Amazon it is the wrong model bayonet for the gun are you looking to buy a bayonet?

[@midgetttv]

[@Bolognamonster]

@@americanrevolutionreenacto2357 Thanks! I've been trying to move into different genres besides civil war and this will really help :D

[@SMcM16]

I can’t get a musket because I am british

[@Bountyhopper]

Muzzle loader laws arnt the same a gun laws

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

You can get a musket it wont follow under your weird gun laws

[@lquinx3241]

Regiment

[@amandanawrot8218]

so you have to buy all of it?

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Buy or make

[@pirategamer3243]

History nerd here, the hats are tricorns and not bicorns, a tricorn is a triangular shape and a bicorn is what napoleon wore on his head

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

PirateGamer A “tricorne” is a late 19th century term to refer to theses hats but as I said in the video the proper 18th century term is a “cocked hat” because the fashion was to cock it to the side.

[@Bountyhopper]

@@americanrevolutionreenacto2357 well. Having your hat cocked to the side wasn’t a fashion thing, it was more practical for the military because of the shape, the side brims would get in the way of the musket while at the shoulder position. So men would wear it off center with the beak to the right and tilted down to give the Musket room to comfortably sit. If you were a civilian or officer, you would wear it straight.

[@lquinx3241]

I want to join a Regimenr

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

2ndmass.org :)

[@alphahawk2729]

How old do I have to be to join a regiment?

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Any age, but you have to be 16 in order to handle/fire a musket.

[@alphahawk2729]

Oh ok because I’m only 12

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Bryce Waite Vlogs Alright, that is actually a perfect starting age, you can be a fifer, drummer, flag carrier/ensign, doctors aid, or a runner- who is an aid to all the officers and helps them communicate on the battlefield.

[@alphahawk2729]

Oh ok thank you!

[@alphahawk2729]

What do I need to be a runner? Like do I need a certain uniform? Do I need a special king of bag?

[@theboxoftexas]

Nice flag

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Merica am I right?

[@ronaldzilla_yt6746]

Don't fire until u see the whites of there eyes
