Howdy. I had the pleasure of briefly meeting you during the event on June 30th. I was the one you were supposed to record 'doing something really brave or really stupid' I never touched back in with you because of all the chaos with the other unit I was supposed to fall in with. They didn't show up the first day, only there on the second, and left the last day. Thankfully I fell in with this group the other days. You're a master of your craft dude. As a fellow filmmaker, I love seeing someone else being passionate about history. Hope to catch you sometime in the future. I'd say 'you've earned a sub' but I've been subbed for a while. Keep up the great work!
Hey Pard - juch a great time at this event .. and as you mentioned a bit crazy with all the activities, things to see, and of course new people to meet. I'm subscribed to your channel as well.
Just lovely, and man does your mic pick up good. I put on my big muff earphones and caught myself flinching. Great footage, as always thank yall and God bless you good folks.
Hey Pard ... I sure would like to, but not able to this year due to the ~16hour drive times from Minnesota. I will be back to your great state in the future.
Epic 160th Gettysburg. Welcome your Civil War related experience pards. Sending you a personal invite to follow our group by subscribing to this youtube channel and also by following us at facebook.com/1St.Minn.Sharpshooters *See you in the field or around the camp fire* --LT
I know this is a late comment but I just want to say that this is a great video. I had the privilege of fighting of the battle field as a union drummer and it was one of the best experiences of my life.
hey pard, yes this was truly an epic event as was the PCWA event the weekend before. Such a great time on the field and around camp. Are you doing any national events this year? I'm thinking about Resaca GA
The laundress was outstanding ... The living histories were beyond informative. @0:23 I'm commanding the Confederate color company. (19th VA ) The Stars and Bars. P.S. Those musicians are top-notch.
Great video. The entire time is great shots. And thank you for having me on screen for so many of the shots. I had such a blast with you and in Gettysburg.
These men and women who do this to keep history alive for the younger generation get all of my admiration and thanks. I enjoy the music from that time. ❤ Thank You All
To think I had family who were here and lived to tell the tale… Like George Yapel… my great grand uncle on dads side who was apart of the 83rd Pennsylvania “mud turtles” from eerie country. And now it’s been 160 years and I’m learning more and more with the full knowledge that my family was apart of this
@@1stminnsharpshooters341just showed mom the charge of the 1st Minnesota… and now watching historical stuff in general found another family member in a Pennsylvania unit, the 78th… Sr David McQuinston… sadly died at Nashville from dysentery, the only family member in the civil war who never came home
great time at this event and the unit that I was with 69th PA had the honor of fighting next your group of Zouave's. Perhaps we'll meet again pard .. going to any 160th events next year? --LT
first time for me at DLF and can't wait to get back at this location. Sending you a personal invite pard to follow our group at facebook.com/1St.Minn.Sharpshooters
well pard, we marched together at the 150th as I was with the 1st Minn Vols as well. Hard to top the 150 as campaigner unit eating out of our haversacks and moving camps each day.
Great Video! Thanks for falling in with us. It was a great weekend and I truly appreciated your willingness to jump in and help out. You're welcome in my camp anytime!
I should be one thanking you for letting me fall in with your guys .... great time meeting all of you - look forward to seeing you in the field or around the camp fire.
The Irish Brigade 69. Thanks for showing this…and reenactors, thanks for honoring all who fought and those who fell, giving the last full measure of devotion.
Fun fact the unit shown in the beginning of the video is actually the 69th PVI the unit I’m in we typically get confused with the Irish brigade or the 69th new york
@@Privateprairiedog69PA I know…I was being genuine. I’m a history nut and love to learn new things. Not someone who gets butthurt when introduced to new (to me) facts.
I was a both events pard. PCWA had the authenticity and open fields of battle, for sure but I also had a great time at LDF and met a lot of cool folks.
The inaccuracies are burning my eyes. And why do they always mix the random handful of zouaves in the line, and why is there calvary fighting with infantry?
What a shame you don't have the numbers we use to have in the 80s. At 0.32 Rear rank, Right Foot Forward! This is not nitpicking it is for safety. It puts you in the proper position for firing. Also, rear rank men your Left Forearm should rest on the back of the man in front of you . This will keep the proper distance of your muzzle and percussion cap to the man's ear in front of you. Safety is always first!
@@yankeesl40yeah it was a cluster Fuck. I'm the guy talking about hard tack and breakfast. Aswell as the corporal in Pickett's charge with the Ponytail. The third day was the only day that went according to plan. But it was fun. The people there that were reacting made it fun
@@yankeesl40 Everything has its season. I'm fortunate that I was able to be a part of the 10s of thousands of reenactors in the 80s. The Civil War has always been a part of my life since I was knee-high to a grasshopper and it always will! I just wish that those of like minds today could have seen those numbers as I did.
Howdy.

I was the company right to your left. Hey there I am at 3:51 mark in the iron brigade uniform with zouaves

Didn't know the battle of Gettysburg put so much meat on a man's bones
some/most of us are a victim on modern rations pard!
This is a huge event.. must take a lot of coordination!
for the event coordinators ... for sure
amazing event out there boys!
hazzzza pard
Great event. Heading back down there in May. Love DLF. Thanks for the footage.

Holy super farbs.. wow that's taking mainstreaming to a new low
Ya sure did good on this one. Loved it!
thanks pard!
The blue matches so well. Who was their fashion designer?
what a cool video! hope it was as good as the 150th anniversary reenactment that i was at with the first MN as the bass drummer when i was 15!
well pard, we marched together at the 150th as I was with the 1st Minn Vols as well. Hard to top the 150 as campaigner unit eating out of our haversacks and moving camps each day.
If you haven't see this pard - this is the PCWA event from the weekend prior - lots of hard "fighting" th-cam.com/video/2RyZuGAAijM/w-d-xo.html
Also I love the band!

can understand your frustration pard. overall we had a great time at this event.
