[@cplvaguards]

Fantastic video! Where can reenactors obtain period correct game sets?

[@rileyhabermehl4194]

Could you do an episode on different canteens that were used?

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

That is on our list! We'll add your support to the idea. Thanks for reaching out!

I love your channel and the great details you put into your videos. My time period is actually the Early Republic 1790-1820. Do you know of any channels similar to yours covering that period?

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

I do not know of one specifically in that area. We just launched a revolutionary war channel. If you find anything in the early republic range, please share it with us! Glad you are enjoying this!

I plan on painting a checkerboard on my gum blanket myself as soon as I find some checker pieces(I'd rather play chess but c'est la vie)

Was draughts a period term for checkers?

[@Jeremyb1862]

Draughts is British English and Checkers is American English. In this time period you can find both words used.

[@garyturner7454]

Can you make a video on flapjacks???

[@CivilWarDigitalDigest]

+Gary Turner thanks for the idea. It's on the list with several sources already piled up.
