• Reenactment, HEMA, and... Brandon F made an excellent video, and I felt the need to cover it and bring up my own thoughts and points in a video as well.
Ive been watching this channel for years because its hard to find a reenactor who has actual good takes on many different subjects and isnt toxic like 95% of the community. My little brother is 10 and he loves the reenacting my brother and i do and i really appreciate how in and older video you encouraged the idea of younger people getting into the hobby. I hope to see you at d-day this year keep up the work 💯💯💯
There are a lot of reenactors that seem to not take it seriously by charging and using goofy tactics. In battles, especially tacticals, I try to survive as if it is an actual battle. A simulated battle using real guns can give you some insight of what tactics work and what doesn't. But the fear factor of real danger is different but for me it wasn't debilitating fear. When I had a defensive gun use, somehow I wasn't scared and I was calm and time was in slow motion. Thankfully the guy who pulled a gun on me ran when I drew my own gun. But that on top of bad car accidents I was in, the fear and trauma sets in after the adrenaline wears off and you think about how it could've ended worse.
