I even shared a picture the helmet when I was done with it and man did I regret that. I had to explain to them that I was on a limited budget and I was trying to complete the look and wasn't going for actual realism. Sometimes they just need to chill.

[@deadspacenightmare4199]

You should do actual research. People bathed and washed regularly in the past, people did not walk around filthy, even soldiers on the battlefield in the 18th century would have made a point to wash at a minimum two times per week to use a river or water source or simply lather and wipe or rinse with soap and water brought with them etc. They also brought alcohol to use as a disinfectant. The clothes would have smelled different to today but men and woman would wash and use scents such as perfume or musk etc. In towns, even poor families would try to maintain good hygiene and soap was cheap and readily available to the family. In the 18th century and before, people with bad hygiene were often shunned or looked down upon.

[@JackClockerinos]

Fun fact: The Vikings were often shamed during the Middle ages for bathing very often?

[@scruggs6633]

The idea that people rarely bathed comes from the time of the plague, because bath houses became plague-centers and people correlated bathing with the deaths rather than the mites from rats, but by the time portrayed in the video, people tried to wash regularly.

[@frogbear02]

One thing though...I know that nobody is using a ball or anything, but why does nobody use the ramrod, just for historical accuracy and load time? My best guess offhand is that its because someone may forget to take the ramrod out and accidentally shoot a ramrod into someone.

[@MauserKar98k]

+frogbear02 That's exactly why, the possibility that someone could get hurt.

[@frankiejonathanfb]

a react dude was talking about how they use to use them. till a dude forgot to take it out and it landed on a tree near him

[@CW-dl2dd]

There are accounts of both Confederate and Federal soldiers being impaled by ramrods during the Civil War. A soldier would be reloading his rifle, and, in the heat of the fighting, would forget to remove his ramrod from the barrel. If he fired, the rammer would sail across the field of fire to it's target along with the bullet.

[@wyattsmith8853]

I think they might use something.

[@Beowulf1ca]

I've had that happen before as a Re-enactor myself. Though it wasn't a musket ramrod, it was an Artillery ramrod, and it was like a Patriot missile flying overhead.

I did re-enactments once upon a time and our opposition failed to tell us that they planned to be immortal during the battle, after 2 hours of constant volleys and most of our guys “dead” but none of them apparently being hit, our sgt. major comes up to me & my buddy to tell us that if he goes down, we need to just drop arms & let them give chase. Well what do you know sgt. major goes down and we book it into the woods. We made Kings immortals look for us until midnight until finally one of them had to come thru and say that the battle was over & and we were okay to come out after they looked for us with bloodhounds & torches for hours. Gotta hand it to them they kept it real even after the spectators left.

[@petermmm42]

"bloodhounds and torches" damn, they were dedicated

[@robertwalker5794]

Several questions. 1: How do you determine who dies? Is it random? 2: How would someone interested in this start? Thx.

[@duck-qg7vb]

Robert Walker They die when they feel like it.

[@PainfulHail134]

some reenactments are planned others are not

[@Azula9068]

i'm a civil war reenactor i can answer those. for 1, it's personal preferance. it's usually better to die when you're tired or out of ammunition, as long as you make sure your weapon is cleared before doing so. 2. search around online for units, a lot of us are recruiting and need more people, the hobby needs to grow in order to thrive. :)

[@bigidiotdumbstupidguy9329]

Different groups do dying differently. I was part of a civil war re-enactment as part of an artillery group. When we were being briefed, the riflemen drew a piece of paper from a hat. It had numbers from 2 to I think 9. So if you pulled a 3, you’d go down after your groups third volley when appropriate. Since I was artillery, we drew differently. I drew “45 minutes or 50 yards”. So after 45min or if the enemy got within 50 yards, then I’d go down. Other places do an honor system. You go down when it seems obvious for you to go down. But that can sometimes create invincible squads that over exaggerate the inaccuracy of smooth bore muskets. Which kinda kills the fun for both sides.

Person 1 Shoots a blank across the map Person 1 - Hey, I hit you! Person 2 looks at Person 1, shoots him Person 2 - Call your hits! Person 1 - Ref! Referee - Yes? Person 1 - He's not calling his hits. Person 2 shoots a blank at Person 1. Person 2 - Call your hits! Person 1 - No you missed! Referee 2 walks to Person 2 Referee 2 - What's going on? Person 2 - That guy over there isn't calling his hits. I'm pretty sure I hit him my crosshair was on him. Person 1 shoots at Person 2 Person 1 to Referee 1 - see my crosshair was on him. Person 2 shoots back. Person 2 - ref he's not calling his hits this is the 10th time I shot him. Referee 2 - Let me try. Referee 2 loads a bb into the musket, aims at Person 1 Person 1 - Wtf was that. Referee 1 - looks like you were hit, now back to re spawn. Person 3 shoots blank at Person 2. Person 2 - Hit!

[@JHouse171]

+TK Gaming Equipment is bought, gun powder is bought and you roll your own rounds. Many units will loan gear until you get your own and reenacting comes in many different forms. Events can range from fully scripted scenarios to unplanned chaos. There are many events such as living history occasions as well for the general public to learn! If you like history why not experience it first hand as best we can!
