i am starting in german reenacting (heer) and don't know what to get and i only have £70, belt? y-straps? breadbag? e-tool? tunic? kar98k? and does any one know a site for cheap tunic (and i'm from northern ireland so does anyone know any militaria shops in meine country. gut bye!)
A white flag for surrendering? Sorry, I couldn't resist. Bad Rodger, bad, bad. Just my twisted sense of humor.

What you could get first is fit. Most re-enactors look just a little broad round the middle to be convincing. Your aim should be to have less fat than a butcher's pencil.

First you will need- Tunic Trousers Shirt Boots Gaiters Belt Buckle Helmet Sidecap/peaked cap (about 6/7 hundred quid) Then you will need- Pouches Cammo smock Gas mask tin Bread bag Y - straps Bayonet (about 300 quid) Sorry, but your £70 isnt going to go very far. And its not as if you can just start cheaply then buy the rest later on. Perhaps you can miss out the cap, if youre happy to wear your helmet all the time. Karl
