Nice video. I'm glad more and more people are making videos about ww2. i'm doing a reenactment of 101st airborne division and i got 3 jumps from a C-47
I would strongly recommend this approach. It is better to buy the right gear the first time that meets a units accuracy standards. The unit will usually help you with loaner gear (usually everything but boots).
This hobby is very expensive one thing I'll say tho since I've made plenty of mistakes Is buy the more expensive stuff because in the long run it'll last you way longer than if you buy cheap stuff and it also looks better
Highly doubt most will accept someone that young. Youngest ive seen is usually 17. I would start collecting either real or repro gear at your age so that when you hit the right age, you can just get right into it

Step one, find a reenactor unit. Ask them questions before you spend $2000 on gear that needs to be replaced day one.
The best advice for new people is to find a unit portraying what you want to dress up as and ask to do a free event with them. Proceed from there.
isnt it easier to find a unit in your area and then build your uniform from that unit ?
@@andreasdieckmann9936 yeah you could do it that way also

@@PVTLogan12 yeah most gear in this hobby is sadly. You can find some deals out there tho. It takes time to gather gear just gotta keep an eye out
