Instead you will want to take sips. Also remember you if you are PRETENDING you are wounded yell doctor or surgeon. If you are really INJURED yell medic and tell your battle buddy this will save your life. I have been to events where people were heroes and died in the battle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729843134154447139.post-67100476753264797612016-02-24T17:05:43.450-08:002016-02-24T17:05:43.450-08:00Thanks for this informative post. If you don'...Thanks for this informative post. If you don't mind, I want to add a couple of things:<br /><br />1) You may want to wear earplugs during the battle. Of course, earplugs were not around during that time but, as I understand, hearing loss is irreparable. Earplugs are a great idea, especially if the guy next to you fires a double load of powder. <br /><br />2) I have not done it yet but I say if it's a very hot event, take off the jacket and fight in your shirtsleeves. I was in a debate on Facebook about whether or not soldiers fought without their coats in very hot weather. I don't know for certain but Thanks to modern heating and cooling, we are not under the same conditions people were in 150 years ago. To go from wearing t-shirts, shorts and sandals one day and then a wool uniform the next is a big change for the body. Always be smart and follow the wise advice already mentioned here. Peace.
