You guys ever stop to think about what a strange hobby/vocation we have? I often wonder if this is the first time in history that people from one time period have tried to reconstruct life in a different period.
I wonder if there was some guy in ancient Babylon who dressed funny and did weird things while saying "This is how the Sumerians did it."

I've been an avid student of history and archeology my entire life, even going back to college a few years ago to study more formally.

Officially I'm relatively new to re-enacting. I'm just now joining the New Mexico Mountain Men and putting together a real outfit. But I've been doing 'period treks' of a sort since childhood, in a couple of cases staying out in the mountains for months at a time. I cracked up the first time I read Mark Bakers comments in Muzzleloader about only carrying 1 wool blanket. There were a few Rocky Mountain summer nights at 10 and 12 thousand feet where I nearly froze off some parts I wanted to keep 'cause 1 blanket was all I had.

Now I'm not doubting that Mark stays out, even in the winter, with one blanket. I'm just pointing out that he's tougher than me. :)

This part of the site is gonna cover trekking. I'll be adding more to it as we go along. When I find good sites I'll link to them, and I'm open to suggestions or comments that anyone else has.
