ANST - Gulf War

[gtaylor]

Hello!

I'm thinking of putting up something of a FAQ list for newish SCA
members who are attending Gulf War for the first time.  Locally, also, I
volunteered to run a "first time to War" get-together/class for our
newer folks on the same subject.  So...this leaves me here trying to
remember what it was like goign to war for the first time.    I have
some ideas...but would like to hear from others (particularly those
newer) about what folks should know their first time to war.

Things that I've thought a little about:
Pack in plastic
Mealplans available on site.  Or, try to coordinate food with
friends/group.
You are going to walk long distances.
You're goign to camp really near to other folks.
It's going to rain.
Merchant row is wonderful and Midnight madness is cool.
Don't buy a pup-tent for war (or general SCA) use.
Folks from other kingdoms have different fighting customs/rules.  Don't
be snitty about it.
It'll be from the teens to the 80's out.  Be prepared for anything,
temperature-wise.
Try to bring enough garments that you don't have to repeat, much....
