    I do reenacting, 28th Massachusetts "Irish Brigade". I love reenacting, only have been two years and it's already my favorite hobby. Trust me, once you actually start doing it, you won't regret it at all.

    I have been doing Napoleonic Reenacting with the 85eme (UK version) for the past year. Has been very enjoyable. However I am afraid I will probably have to drop it for the next two years since it seems like I am going to get far too busy to cut out an entire day or two.

    Sad thing to hear, Ze_King. I hope you will find a way to stick with it. It's an amazing hobby.

    I was going to get into it when I was younger. I was already in contact with a few local groups and was about to start buying up gear but a few issues came up in real life things. I have since somewhat lost interest. It is something I would be interested in doing in the future though!

    I used to run around with a Kodak Instamatic (that should tell you the time frame I did this,) in my haversack ... I'll have to see if I can drag up the negatives and get them scanned to electronic format.
