It's fun to reenact medieval battles, idk beating someone with a stick feels good.
These guys would ahead of the game in the apocalypse.
Less gay than larping
Neither is gay you fucking swine. I've wanted to go to a war reenactment for years, but I don't even know where to start.
Rome total war was never like this.
Renaissance fairs are breddy gay tbqh.
Full of SJWism and special snowflakes.
The one where I live is really chill. It's mostly a bunch of people getting wasted and beating the hell out of each other.
I love the Deep South.
No hobby that gets you outdoors and interested in history is gay.
This, in Texas renfests are just a bunch of bros getting trashed on mead in the forest. Shits pretty cash
It's a fun time, especially if you like camping, but the equipment is such a huge expense that I can't really justify it to myself. It sucks too, cause the few times I have been out on re-enactment trips were great, but I'm just not in a position to shell out over $600 on gear I might wear once or twice a year.
I'd recommend it if you can afford it though. Join a dedicated group that does things in a period fashion. One group I was in for Revolutionary War re-enactment made pancakes entirely from scratch, complete with period-accurate, fire toasted bread and preserves, all cooked in hand smithed pig iron utensils. It was amazing, both the sheer dedication to being period-accurate and the food quality. Better than a lot of restaurants I've eaten at, and it was just some 70 year old guy in a tricorn hat in front of a firepit.
I've always thought of these people as gay nerds, never met any though just guessing.
That is a bad ass MG 42 so its pretty cool!
Ren fairs used to be cool. Now they're bullshit. Real medieval festivals are in Europe and they actually take their heritage seriously.
Hell yeah it is
If you wanna start I recommend looking up re-enactment troupes online. Most of em you can just join as long as you have equipment, and they'll sometimes sell you second-hand equipment or let you borrow some for a weekend if they're especially generous. Every re-enactor I've interacted with has been willing to help out a newbie, so just reach out and start talking to some of em.
Me too it looks pretty fun tbqh
My elementary school used to do Civil War re-enactments for the 5th graders but they stopped after Columbine (lived in Colorado), so I never got to do it
Was a viking reenactor now in SCA basically you beat up your friends with weapons then go get drunk. Occasionally you go on huge camping events and be drunk like everynight and fight everyday. It is like a Valhalla on earth. Plus it gets you muscle fat beefcake.
Is it gay to study kung fu, juijustsu, or karate? Those are ancient fighting arts. Why would it be gay to learn to fight in a falanx, or study how the Wehrmacht performed maneuvers?
The Civil War reenactments iv'e seen were pretty cool desu.
that pic reminds me of when you forget to upgrade some units in civ.
You take video cameras for granted. Re-enactment is how we remember the imagery of our history. Words only do so much.
Lol
Fuck
I miss pc Empire building games fuck
I like how knowledgeable some of these guys are. Real historians.
Join the SCA you dont need a full suit of armour and you use these things called Rattan which is like denser heavier version of bamboo instead of live steel weapons. A lot of the SCA people will lend you a lot of gear and sell you stuff cheap or help you build shit.
Where I live it is actually a funny mix of celtic pride white nationalist, and SJW larpers dressed as fairies.
the guy on the left has fucking a fucking halloween tier set up,
disgraceful
marginally
heh glad im not only one that noticed, second dude looks like sole survivor of teutoburg, even his sandals look like in use
>you will never massacre muslims with mg42 in testudo formation
>why even live
I've been to Renaissance fairs that were gay but I've also been to pioneer reenactment camps that were really bad ass. Props to the people dedicated to do that. The Ren fair is just full of retarded carnies on drugs.
>implying getting a close as possible to being Roman or Aryan is a bad thing
>implying you don't do that on a daily basis anyway but are too afraid to show it
Go put on your furry suit faggot
Implying not a reenactor?
