That was neat. I always get chills when I see something like that. It must have been exciting to see for real.

Do you ever get any questions from spectators about how we do this?

"Is that a REAL fire?"

"Do you EAT that?" eating beans and ham over the campfire or chili....duh!

"How do you get into that dress?" (suck your breath in and dress carefully!)

"How can you wear corsets like THAT?" (well honey, we dont strapped ourselves so tight like the Victorians to get a wasp waist effects but just to hold our water balloons and other things together)

"Is that a REAL gun?" (well if it shoots, it's real LOL)

"How can you sleep like that?" (camping style)

"Arent those uniforms HOT?"

"How do you take your baths?" "I would not dare doing any body sponge baths!" Well, there is no bathrooms showers to be found, and most women and some men rather wash themselves the best way they can. Hot weather, men and women DO stink but we all appreciate the body sponge baths and sometimes our spouses help us wash our hairs. Nothing feels so good having washed down after a hot day or cold day for that matter!

"Where are your non sticking pans and casserole dishes?" Jeez, they didnt have them back those days!

"How do you bake your breads and buiscuts?" (dutch oven of course!)

"How do you go to the bathroom" (meaning the ladies) no different than you are doing today!

"Do you ever shave" (some do and some dont) I like clean shaved men or kissing my hubby with a clean face, none of those stubbs! YIKES!

"Where do you keep your food cold" ( some of us got coolers under blankets or in tents( sorry we dont have an icehouse nor a deep hole to keep our food cool. LOL


I hope that guy is ok after getting his clothes on fire...nothing worse losing someone or getting the camp on fire. That is why I dont like wearing my hoooped skirts near the fire.
