You Might Be a Civil War Reenactor – if…

 

*          If your $20,000 car sits out in the weather so your $200 tent can stay in the garage...

*          If you drive by some open land and think, "What a great place for a Battle!"...

*          If most of the clothes you own went out of style over 135 years ago...

*          If you've made a vehicle purchase decision based on how well it can accommodate your tent poles...

*          If you've ever uttered the phrase, "only 68 more days ‘til our next event"...

*          If sleeping in a leaky tent in the rain and mud is your idea of a fun Saturday night...

*          If you've ever worn wool when the temperature tops 100 repeatedly...

*          If there are half-completed sewing projects decorating your furniture...

*          If you've ever made a career decision based on its impact on your reenacting weekends...

*          If your friends refuse to attend any historic movie dramas with you...

*          If you can spot 100% wool at 30 yards...

*          If your kids can correct their history teachers...

*          If your mailman is confused as to what rank you hold in the reserves...

*          If you have been asked at a gas station if you're Amish...

*          If your birthday and Christmas list reads like a quartermaster's request for supplies...

*          If you believe that your brogans are the most comfortable shoes that you own... you might be a reenactor.
