Not exactly a trek but a good day in the field with my family reacting a battle.
It was a good experience and opportunity to try out our gear in cold weather. It was 28° and freezing rain and snow.
One of the best purchases of my life was buying a handmade toque from a fellow reenactor. It’s now going to be part of my permanent kit.
Linen and wool do a good job except when the wind gusts of almost 30 mph winds would cut right through it all. The winds were bad enough that the shelters were being knocked over when the stakes pulled out of the muddy ground.
Makes one of appreciate viscerally what the continental troops went through at places like Valley Forge and Morristown.
