Now all we need is one hundred thousand more for the earth works to defend Vicksburg. Well done sir. For an experimental archeology project it would be really interesting if we could find a large plot of land and make a section of earthworks fortifications like they did in the civil war, then shoot cannon and muskets with live ammo at them at various distances and see what effect the ammo would have on these fortifications. We might be surprised what we find in the testing results as it will give us a better understanding on why the various sieges of cities in the south were fought they way they were. Just a thought.
Man, with how big a fit my neighbors pitched over our friend parking his trailer in our driveway for a couple hours, I bet if I built a couple of these they'd completely lose their minds.
That is Epic! sounds like you're at a whole new level of corona virus hobbies, I am sewing a jacket from one of your series of videos 1st sgt. is making his home slowly into a fort. Great instruction and presentation outstanding references. Thanks!
If anyone is curious, the name translates as Horse of the Frisians, referencing a region in the Netherlands which had no cavalry since the terrain was very soggy. So these were invented as a way to negate the advantage of their enemies' cavalry charge. Since at the time cavalry was used to counter other cavalry, this technique was given its name in irony by the French, who were great aficionados of cavalry and were thus insulted by mere infantry holding them off using this dirty trick.
you all probably dont care at all but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any help you can give me.
@Salvatore Joey i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Awesome! I made one a couple years ago...My UPS man always commented on it! So great job. I like the convenience you brought to it with materials... 👍🏼
Great channel I just wish you guys would do a video covering Gilhams, like present arms, order arms and the such. I’m so rusty wanted to brush up for my next event.
Ver cool. I would like to see you guy make a video on what happens on the battlefield at the events, how do you decide who dies after a volley of fire and how is the outcome of the battles determined. Stuff like that
a spud is a mediavl english word for a shortish knife, hence the potatoe is called a spud in english slang becuase of the type of knife that is commonly used, the name of the knife came to be transferred to the vegetable , a common happening ie in England a mouse in mediaval times was called a 'moggy' a cat was a 'moggy chaser' nowadays a cat is often called just a moggy, I have NEVER heard anyone call a mouse a moggy :) just so's you know :)
Can we get a video on manual of the nco sword? since u are the company nco is why i ask.i heard it had differences from the officers sword and really wanna see it in action. Thanks have a great day!
It varies quite a bit. Sometimes it's based on experience or yearly elections. Rank can also really depend on unit size. A unit with only 6 people doesn't need a captain, 2 lieutenants, 1st Sgt, 2nd Sgt, and 2 corporals--You'd have no privates. A shortened version of how our unit issues rank includes experience, completeness of high quality impression, attendance, historical and safety examinations, leadership qualities, and dedication to reenacting, improvement, and research. We also don't add any ranks unless we have the number of soldiers to justify it. I hope that helps. Each unit is different.
@@CompanyD2ndUSSS The numbers in my unit varies from year to year. While I hold the rank of 1st lieutenant, we currently have less than 6 regular guys. So for the time being, we're all privates.
I was wrong . It’s actually spanish. It’s first used late 1500’ In the 80 years war. To prevent that dutch rebels retake the citty of Groningen. Which is in the netherlands. The region is called Friesland.

I have no idea why this was suggested to me, but this was a well done video. Good mix of history, detail and brevity. Really enjoyed it.

I'll need to remember that the next time the Hessians attack.

@Israel Elon Glad I could help xD

Using this for home defense thanks
Excellent video!
You could use latillas, round poles 1 1/2" x 8'. At least in New Mexico we can get them. They are about $8 for 8' pole. More expensive, but easier.
That could be a good idea. Thanks for sharing.
That's so cool if I still reenacted Id try to make one
Gosh, amazing video. Always great to watch you guys. 👍🏻
Holy crap, Jered! Are you and Ethan building a fort together?
Why aren’t you tellers putting content out anymore? I really enjoy your videos.
Great channel I just wish you guys would do a video covering Gilhams, like present arms, order arms and the such. I’m so rusty wanted to brush up for my next event.

Nothing to do with the subject, but where can I find an authentic sharpshooter Knapsack with mess kit?
We do infact make the berdan sharpshooter packs based off of an original from 2nd USSS Co. C
I’m starting myself a sharpshooters uniform soon and I have one question about it, where could I get a pair of leggings/gaiters
Currently in the process of developing and making a correct one piece pattern. Feel free to shoot us an email found at www.2ndusss.com
Company D 2nd USSS thanks
where did you get your auger?
Great question. I'm pretty sure I got it at an antique store.
How to protect your house against intruders.
How do you get a rank in reenactment??
It varies quite a bit. Sometimes it's based on experience or yearly elections. Rank can also really depend on unit size. A unit with only 6 people doesn't need a captain, 2 lieutenants, 1st Sgt, 2nd Sgt, and 2 corporals--You'd have no privates.

It is not french. The proper name is in Dutch “Friese ruiter “
Hi ... the name might be French but who knows where it was first created. If you have references for it being the Netherlands I'd love to see.
I was wrong . It’s actually spanish. It’s first used late 1500’ In the 80 years war. To prevent that dutch rebels retake the citty of Groningen. Which is in the netherlands. The region is called Friesland.
