These guys are HARD CORE. Not your BAR types who set up a camp and stay in a motel down the road. These guys are livin it for the weekend. Not a thing out of place in these camps. Proper furniture, tents, straw on the ground, even the food is period correct. You think you are actually in 1755 when you go there. I plan on day trippin it, because I can't do that much authenticity with my camp. It's close, but not quite dead on. Great learning weekend too.
