It's way too early in the morning to be this alert. What did you put in your coffee?<<sigh>> This picture is like an illustration from "Farb for Dummies." "Circle the Obvious Anachronisms." Uh... the church fellowship hall chairs... the craft store lantern... the 1890s sunglasses... the arts and crafts coffee mug... the slack rigged tent that wouldn't keep out a sneeze... the wheelbarrow or 4-wheeler under the blanket in back (though, really, why bother?). Cloth rifle sling for extra credit. That's all I've got. I've been reenacting for 50 years, in various flavors of the hobby. My first season was not this egregious. It has been said that the difference between a farb and a reenactor is that a farb has no shame. Here endeth the lesson. (Climbs down from soapbox.)
My thought was that he'd put an adult beverage in his canteen and now couldn't find said canteen because he'd already drank it dry. Doesn't he look a little hungover to you?
PS: The glasses don't look quite right to me. Tinted or Transitions lenses? But I could be wrong because I'm not fully awake.
