Uniform & Equipment
If you are considering joining us,
the list below can help
you acquire the proper items for this unit and to give you an idea of cost.
If you have the talent, you can make some of these items. There
are also people in the unit who sew and do leatherwork who can
help you. You do not need to get everything at once. If you are
unsure what some of this stuff is, click HERE
to get a general explanation. We recommend
that you buy the musket first. Among our members, we have enough
extra clothing that we can lend you while you acquire your own.
We do not have any extra muskets. We also recommend that you
talk to the senior members of the unit before making any purchases. We
can steer you towards the better merchants and away from the stuff you don't want.
