After a very wet night and fighting in the rain, soldiers did their best to warm up their clothes by their fires and in this case-their socks. Seeking to dry both his socks and feet, this determined reenactor got a little too close for comfort and burned a hole right through his sock! LOL. The embarrased soldier suffered no long term ill effects from this incident except perhaps some teasing from his comrades and enduring seeing his photo posted on this page. LOL     This guy was just a little too obvious with his camera as he wondered the field during Sunday's public battle reenactment getting right in the middle of the all the action. Wearing large ear rings didn't help either as they glistened  profoundly in the high Sunday sun. I'm sure he got some great pictures though! Are there any authentic camps left in this hobby? We dont mean to single out anyone in this particular photo suffice to say that these kind of scenes can be too easily and readily found at any reenactment. Most Reenactors take great pains to make sure their uniform impressions are 100% accurate down to the last button and undergarments. However, when it come to Chow Time why do we find so many modern condiments and accessories so blatantly exposed for all to see? Seems like it is getting harder and harder to take photos in camps without an overwhelming array of farby elements scattered throughout the scene. Lets work harder to preserve the illusion of walking back in time as we venture into these settings.
