What is this all about? Well, I got your attention and now I will elaborate:

I am a Civil War re-enactor and dress the part for parades, "battles" and grave-side ceremonies. Last month at a yard sale, I bought 3 sets of camo fatigues for a dollar a set. All have insignia of rank, name tags, unit patches etc. For the last two weeks, I put on a set of cammies, blouse my jump boots and then take a military rifle for a walk over the farm.(proper web gear is an option) I think it helps to dress the part for taking a venerable military rifle for a walk. On my farm, I have numerous gongs that get shot at on every trek.

I can say with some authority that it helps to be properly attired when going afield. Who else dresses the part? We have a local WWII re-enactment group of which I am a member; now I have more uniforms for events. Keep checking them yard sales.
