5:02 thumbs up if you think that death was the most epic death in all of reenacting!

[MrMarines94]

Only one complaint, and thats the artillery crew messing up other than that great video, i am a reenactor in the 1ST ARKANSAS MOUNTED RIFLES CO K

[lonesomepoetxi]

i am absolutely astounded and appalled at some of the safety violations made by the artillery crews in this video. its like a training video on what not to do.

i Reenact on the west coast in the 5th US Battery D and not even in the infancy of the units creation did we make the kinds of mistakes made in this video

[rjclemmons]

If your going to act out the civil war do it right. to many farbs

[spartansith1]

cool i like it i am a reenactor in the 14 south carolina:}

[SmokeyHickChick]

@spartansith1 You're from SC too????? Yayy! I'm not alone:P

[pyrui]

What is the title of this song in the strart??

P.S. Sorry for my english. ;D

[5thVA]

Patty on a Handcart, if I'm not mistaken.

[bullyboy1863]

Also, 2:49 thats the 1st NY reynolds battery. thats the unit I'm in.

[bullyboy1863]

the highly authentic fife and drum corps! with the highly authentic pink pants! haha xD! Good video 5/5

[marinefighter00]

south beat there ass

[bullyboy1863]

At Hamlin Beach yes hahahaha

[spartansith1]

that is so awsome!!!!!!!!!

[starbster]

yo what if i have a civil war gun in my hands? but i do have a reenactment going in 2 days and its gonna be in australia and we have the uniforms and guns and we built aussie bigger then it was and we did make some locations

[28thnyCorp]

yo, yourself. I'm not realy sure what you're talking about but it sounds great!

Enjoy being in australia and being built bigger and uniforms and guns and make some locations or something like that.

[28thnyCorp]

Actually, here's a fun game for the YouTube reenacting community... Watch the clip again and try to find one thing (please stop at one) wrong with every shot!! :-)

Also, bear in mind that this was three years ago and things have improved since then (honest).

-Simon

[folkiefreek]

i like this game tee hee ts not too bad i must say ha ha ha were was this again sorry ha ha :P

[28thnyCorp]

It's Hamlin Beach in Rochester, NY. At best, it's a mainstream event. Nobody would suggest anything else.

This video does seem to have picked up a huge number of event facepalms. I've no idea what's going on with that music. The Ren fair is in Stirling.

All that said, Hamlin Beach is a fun event, anyone who has ever attended will vouch for that. Possibly not the most historically authentic, but it well supported by the reenactor community in western New York.

-Simon.

[brandini555]

i win :D

[28thnyCorp]

Yeah, sorry to disappoint some people, but Hamlin is somewhat farby (admit it and we'll be in a better position to move the event forwards), but it's a good event anyway. :-)

Dan... Calm down. The internet can be a bitch at times and there's no point going ITG on YouTube.

-Simon.

[Laurensdy]

28th NY represent :D

[brandini555]

i kinda liked the fife and drummers in the beginning playing ''paddy on the handcar''

[brianemt177]

umm, I can never have that time back, thanks. Cigarettes, watches, bad uniforms, poor drill, t-shirts, cars, modern eyeglasses, sneakers, what esle can I say? Nothing period about it. Red Badge of Courage had better impressions...

[Dan52d]

The fat ass Turbo Farb standing in front of the toy cannon as he loads it should be a clip on its own.

Good so see theyre honoring their retard ancestors so well.

[CarterFamilyForever]

amazing! were u a reenactor or did u just attend this reenactment?

[jediknightaj]

lol makes me glad i stopped the druming to carry the colors, I could never learn that stuff... :)

78th PVI Co D

[semorbutz]

I was in the reeanactments for 4 years and the first 3 I was a drummer boy. At 5:56-5:58 I think thats me because the guy next to him looked like the guy I was talking to in the forest while we were resting. also I think the guy behind me was mark (our captain and behind him on the far right in line is my dad.

[Crecybowman]

Unbelievable! I have never seen such a crock!

[crierman1863]

I liked the music that you picked for this video. Very good.

Also I liked the fact that you captured reenactors in action and in camp.

Where was this reenactment at???

People like to come hear the cannons and see us fight!

[5thVA]

Hamlin Beach State Park in New York.

[fumsup]

Found out about that tune Its (Paddy on a Handcar) Bit quick so more like paddy on a motorbike , But it makes me tap my feet.

[LPNnuRseCHiK]

thanks for letting us know that.  my son was having a fit for me to find this. he is now trying to learn this beat. he's the drummer for the local unit here.

[fumsup]

The sheet music is in "complete music for fife and drum". Its listed on ebay . Page 52 and 53 . The fife bit needs playing over several times. Dont ask about the drum bit I am no drummer . There is also a couple of lads on you tube with another vwersion just type in paddy on a handcar and you should see it.

[5thVA]

As a reenactor in this, and as a leading member of this reenactment: to all who say this is not a reenactment or is a farb-fest may you all rot in Hell.

[martjo23]

Dude...if this isn't a farb-fest, they don't exist. Also, "rot in Hell"? Isn't that a little strong? Take it easy, bro.

[fumsup]

Well i like it, and can anyone please tell me what the drum and fife tune near the start is called please. Thanks

[ximenezb]

what are "Farbs" ?

[5thVA]

Farbs is things that are now period.

[martjo23]

Make that *NOT* period. Like the cars, surroundings, and people standing side-by-side with the enemy, marching into battle. I could go on, but basically it's a reenactment that includes surroundings/gear/units that didn't historically exist.

[5thVA]

Well.. we can't cover those things up anyway. We don't march into battle with the enemy, we only parade in front of th public after the battle s over.

[StoriaMilitareACW]

This isn't a civil war reenactment! This isn't a reenactment! Is an insult to every correct reenactors!

[GettysburgGhost1863]

LOOK AT ALL THE FARBS! What a farb-fest... 1:45 just freaks me out.

[ufelcher]

what an insult to the soldiers to be mocked by social misfits, uncoth youth in surch of an identy and what appears to be an ugly obtuse cow that wants to be a man

[dragonx2040]

HA like a camp in the 1800's was ever that neat and clean.

[garand1944]

this is one of the WORST reenactment videos I have ever seen!! Total farb fest!!!

[FlamingVirus1]

War is fun

[Joseph565112]

Whats funny though is that the North still had more desertion in their ranks. Even with the most advantages they still had more quiters from start to finish. Of course that really kicked in after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued since most average white men in the North shared the same intense hate of blacks as the average joe in the South. I guess thats why they had over 15000 desert within a week of the Emancipation Proclamation being issued.

[moep]

well that's one of the few things you americans actually make good...

[Germanaxe]

ur german arnt u anyways its very fun im gonna be one in april or may hopfuly

[civilwar51190]

you know that back in the civil war the confederate won most of the battles. the big turning point of the war was gettysburg. the only reason the confederate went to gettysburg was for supplies. and they could of won it to. just poor communication.

pvt jt

105th O.V.I co A.

[98rockthestation]

NOrth would've won anyway, in the end supplies won out over the south...

[Joseph565112]

Yeah your pretty much right. The blockade is always a good tactic but the North knew they had to use it. Since the South very easily could have found alternate supply source, maybe several. They really didnt even need that many more men to hold out and win even with the Unions overwhelming numbers. It was just the lack of food and clothing more than any other that demoralized them as much as they were.

[Joseph565112]

You know its kinda funny that by definition we never had a civil war. It wasnt between two groups of Americans to either change or take control of the existing government. It was between two groups under two different flags under two different firmly established governments. Therefore it was between two nations.

[Silentpanther16]

Hurray! We're in this!!!

[orckiller91]

why do they have union snipers along side CSA infentry?

[bloodwillspill565]

During the civil war a few units of the south did have men uniformed in green, but by the mid war point most if not all units wore grey, well butternut or anything of the sorts.

[orckiller91]

the green though if I remeber correctly wa the main uniform of the unions snipers

[bloodwillspill565]

It was, the south at the beginning despite that did have some green uniforms as well as blue uniforms admits their ranks at the beginning of the war of Northern aggression, but by mid war everything was sorted out by the confederate congress, as far as uniforms go. One unit, I can't remember the reg. but it was called the "Pound cake reg." cause of them having green blue and grey uniforms.

[bloodwillspill565]

It was, but certain units of the confederate army did have green uniforms amidst their ranks or had mostly green uniforms, but this was at the beginning of the war and was quickly changed.

[GettysburgGhost1863]

Yes, I believe the Clinch Rifles had green uniforms during the beginning of the war, at least for their officers anyway. I think their enlisted men wore blue!

[Germanaxe]

hey ur right i think they were called blood boys i cant remember if it was something else

[swankgreg]

Can anyone tell me how prevalent those damn mountain howitzers were during the war? You see them everywhere, but never in old photos? Are they just a farb artillery invention?

[orckiller91]

they typicly used the rifled or the neapolian guns

[brokenspears]

The fife and drums sounded good, but their attire made me sick. Total farb fest...Perhaps that's why I'm attending Gettysburg as a tourist and not a reenactor this July. I've had my "fun" with the 20,000+ events..

[GreenBerets0547]

if they have a reenaactment they need more men in the volly line cause in the war whole divisions or regiments would line up not 8 guys and where are the officers telling the troops to fire

[zaber0013]

union rules

[AJG12]

oh man bill ... its worth the two year wait... it just builds up the suspense and your first big reenactment is amazingly mind blowing... i went to kernstown and it blew my freaking mind... the energy of firing the musket, rifle, carbine or what have you iss sooooo fun

[GettysburgGhost1863]

Have you ever been to the Cedar Creek reenactment at Middletown, VA? My Union artillery unit is going there this summer. I hope to have a great time.

[billthebutcher5665]

wtf is a kid just walking round in a union uniform?!

[billthebutcher5665]

nvm the 16 cus i got junior officer rank now!

[billthebutcher5665]

another 2 years of flags and drums :(

[billthebutcher5665]

hav they raised the age from 14 to 16 to fire a musket?!!! if they hav im gonna seriously kill ma self!!!!

[civilwar51190]

yea it is 16 now  sry i hate to disapoint u

[lopsidedbunnybunny]

In two years you can just do that! :)

[chrisbreizh29]

i have a ancestror who have fighten in civil war in south army. Dragon of Chalmette.

[OneSkiWonder]

That wasn't present arms. Present arms is holding the gun strait up about 2 inches infront of your face, eye level with the 2nd band with your right hand on the stock & your left just below the 1st band with your thumb along the barrel. Also, what is it with blue bellies that they never play dead well? That guy's resting on his arms & lookin around. Heck I've seen tree frogs do better. Good music but honestly, get the commands right & blue bellies need to learn how to act, and fall more often.

[dlsoucy]

Very good job.Loved it.The shrill of the fife and the roll of the drums shall be heard yet again.

[kartoffel93]

what is the name of the song which is played when the vid starts

[3rdconfederate]

They're in California. On my Mom's side, we're Confederate--Tennessee. I love the Confederate battle flag, too. I can't explain the thrill I get when were in battle line, and the colors are flying, drums playing and we're getting ready to charge. I love the way we look in our mid-war scruffy uniforms, the comraderie of singing at night around the fire and sleeping on the ground under the stars. I've lived in California for 54 years, but I feel like a Southern at heart. Deo Vindice

[Rimamola]

why is america such a bin or as they say in britan a dump lead by a wanker called Bush

[hainstol]

George Bush may be a wanker, but if America is such a 'dump' or 'bin' as you say, why are people still lining up in droves to get in? We aren't perfect, nor do we all support the Bush administration's actions, but this is still a terrific country, and it is largely our 'fault' that the British aren't speaking German right now.

[3rdconfederate]

Beepath--I'm not sure. I am with the 3rd Ark, but it is Co. E. We are getting ready to do Kearney Park and Moorpark. Some of the men went to Shiloh in April. I hope I can do that sort of thing next year.

[BeepathSkyclad]

How wonderful! Where is Kearney Park and Moorpark located? My people are from Pine Bluff, how about yours? I think the Confederate flag is the one of the most beautiful flags ever designed, too bad right winger assholes ruined it. Hope to hear from you soon.

[professortrent]

This song makes me want to go to war- I guess that's what the purpose approximately 150 years ago.

[elfkind1]

that HAD to have been made by a campaigner/hardcore reenactor! Every shot focuses on something extreemly farby. The tennis shoes of the drummer in the first scene, lumpy soldier, tarp-tent, half scale artillary, sharpshooter, females in camp, uniform atrocities... all great stuff! Oh and I loved the music. Made for a great comedic performance I must say.

[orckiller91]

this is sad they have no disiplin wrong regimental colors this is a shamble of a re-enacment

[AJG12]

OH MY GOD!... FARB SHIT EVERYWHERE... they have union sharp shooters with c.s.a. infantry/??? disgusting.. take this off .. horrible get some real reenactments on here... infact you should have been down at McDowell.. now that was a real reenactment

[GettysburgGhost1863]

TOTAL FARB FEST!!!

[chase196126]

That was the most pathetic thing I have ever seen... This is not anywhere near what living history should be. Those people need to be lined up and shot..

[toptimlrd]

OK, six minutes of my life gone. As a living historian / reenactor all I can say is this is pathetic and sad. This looked more like a ren fair than a reenactment.

[wvhollerboy]

woah....this is pretty much way historically inaccurate......just to let everyone know...the civil war wasn't too much like this.....

[TheSandman300]

yeh i renact or did and the drums we used sounded something like that but not much very well done

[drewvolker]

i actuallt renact and lol i am a drumer boy and if there drums are like mine they were detenchioned and meaning they could not have sounding like that

[LordLope]

the freakin music sound like the renasiunce

[wikiriwhi]

drums are so noble. they never used them when they ignobly massacared indians

[ufelcher]

lose your sow, she wrecks any realism

[3rdconfederate]

ufelcher--what's with the sow business? Why are you such a hater? Are you one of those Argentinians descended from Nazi pieces of shit?

[ufelcher]

then what is that gash with a butt that resembles a sack of door knobs doing in camp? lends an air of comedy to this sad reenactment farce. your simplistic language indicates a lack of intelligencs possibly due to inbreeding.

[BeepathSkyclad]

Hey, 3rdconfederate, my folks were with the 3rd Ark, Company C....any chance you related to the same?

[BeepathSkyclad]

Dude, I got your realism right here....there were womyn fighting in the Civil War. Read the Courage of Color by Margaret Creighton. That'll cool your critical misogynistic jets.

[ufelcher]

if any femals enlisted i doubt she would have gone the first camp epidemic. you must be indulging some sapphaic fantay. possibly you could pass as a third rete camp follower

[BeepathSkyclad]

Well, ufelcher, spell check is a wonderful thing, it makes for a better understanding of what you're about. Take your little ol' library card and check out a book that'll straighten you out, "They Fought Like Demons." It's about, duh, women soldiers in the Civil War. Camp follower indeed, your mama was a camp follower, hmmmm....

[rehtged]

Very nice, i'm a beginning Napoleonic re-enactor however, with the 7th batallion line infantry (dutch/belgian) :) ENlisted as drummer/fuselier, hope i'll get to be as good as these guys,

[Pickett14thLouisiana]

Farb reenactors... is so sad...

[voxcabaret]

This video made me cringe! Where is this and how old? The drummer to the left had sneakers on, a naval jack wrapped around a tent, was this in the deep south? I've heard events are pretty terrible down there. I have yet to check out a western theatre event. See you boys at McDowell this year, well obviously not these fellas, thankfully!

[dw8910]

Apperantly they were a quartet practicing. The gal was in jogging pants. Why so harsh? It actually looks like northern countryside. Why be a stereotyping dolt?

[coolreggie]

that drum part is hott!!!!!1 s

[crzyeyes2006]

I'm considering joining either the 27th SC Volunteer Infantry, Co. G (sharpshooters and military police form Charleston) or the 3rd South Carolina Battalion (Palmetto Battalion). Haven't decided yet, but I'm looking into it.

[TourCharlestonSC]

great!

[torchss]

Farb Fest. As phoney as a toupee with a chin strap.

[1edd]

go teach the public what we do and why: instead of being a button natzi: if it wasn't for some of these people out there trying to do what they do we might just loose the chance to re enact all together, then you could sit in the dark and count the thread on your uniform all by yourself:

[torchss]

Don't make excuses for laziness and soft people who can't go one lousy weekend without their coolers, cots, kids and honey buns. They aren't reenacting. They're just playing "dress-up".

[watercool414]

OK then if you say that then you have never been to a reenactment. Just try to stay in wool pants and cotton shirt with a wool jacket over that in 100+ heat. it gets hard after two days

[acekillkillz]

i remeber my reanactment i got shot then bayoneted before dyieng

[julielovestitanic]

I really enjoyed your video. I have never been to a re-enactment, but always wanted to. I gonna see if there is any in my area this summer.

[dobby626]

Lol I remeber my first reannactment. . I got shot XD

[NevadanTanker21]

Shoot me now and get it over with.

I'm in tears...

[ACSutton]

Oh man, I've seen plenty of the mainstream farbists in my time. But good golly those were impressive. Ouch.

[AJG12]

oooo i love reenacting... i'm a reenactor and i just turned 16 so nomore drums! (btw... i'm doing an artilary demo south of richmond for 5 forks)

[MajorGeneralTaishiCi]

Awesome! I'm a reenactor, too! I just joined the 3rd Pennsylvania Artillery Battery "B". I'm too young to be put on the front of the cannon with the implements and such, but they are letting me pull the lanyard, which is absolutely awesome! Loud, but awesome!

[ripandy8]

im a member of the american civil war united kindom, i starteed when i was eight and all i could do is drum so i jouined the band, i still do it now and im also in the rockbridge artillery and im a corpral. theres about 2000 reenactors in our society and its growing every year. my favourate event is at stanford hall where we go in massive woods and use our own tactics

[speedkat81]

gotta love the farb

[mommieteapot]

wonderful marvolous proud to be the mother in law of a rebel cannonier

[scotlandthunder]

this is a FARB FEST. you wanna see some hardcore reenactors, cmon over to my site

[hollywoodwerewolf]

Six hundred is good. I participated in a Gettysburg reenactment in 1998. There were thousands. And that was just the line to the port-a-johns!

[KarmicBuddha]

Those are some of the FARBIEST reenactors I have ever seen!

[SouthernBelle1861]

Show some Farblove man! lol

[squeakcat]

Amen Brother!

[mastermike95]

i just saw a 600 reenactment battle of the civilwar

[DorianDeSade]

ahahaahahhaah but where is  Osama ??? ahahaha lol
