Hello folk. I have been reenacting for just slightly over a year now and have just made a AC account in the past couple weeks. I am a part of a mainstream club out of Northern California. Shortly after beginning reenacting I found the Authentic Campaigner Facebook page where I posted photos of my impression and asked for feedback. I had seen the AC site before but felt to intimidated by it to make an account and post so I posted on the FB page which to me seemed a more open. The replies numbered in the hundreds and gave me a wealth of information that I wouldn't have not learned otherwise. Through peoples help the Authentic mindset came over me.
Since then I have worked very hard on my impression in buying quality gear, wearing everything correctly and working out to improve my look. After about a year I would say besides a few minor things my impression is completed. Of course you can always improve but I think I have it mostly down. These pictures are of my generic AoP impression. I was wearing my gear a bit experimentally in these ones with the gum blanket tucked over my belt and the bed roll over my knapsack. I would appreciate it if you folk could leave feedback.
The First photo is the first picture I put on the AC FB page about a year ago and the rest us current.
My equipment list. I have only listed my really high quality gear. The rest is mainstream gear that im working on replacing in time.
Forage Cap - Dirty Billy
Frock Coat - NJ S****la
US Issue Blanket - S&S Sutlery
Under Drawers - Wambaugh White and Co
I would like to thank the folk from Authentic Campaigner for helping me when I was a newbie and gave me the mindset that helped me enjoy this hobby to its fullest in my opinion. My first campaigner event will be Picket's Mill in a couple of months. Its going to be quite the trip flying over from California but im sure it will be worth it. I look forward to seeing you guys there.
