First time being interested in reenactment: Need advice & tips
Hello. I'm a teenager intrested in being a reenactor, and while I did some research, I decided that it's maybe better to directly ask questions instead since most results leave me confused for some reason. I have a few to ask since I'm still really new to the topic and I'd like to know and learn as much as I can before I can start joining groups (although that wouldn't be pretty soon since I'm still quite young). Here they are:
Are there any limits when it comes to being a woman? For example, am I not going to be able to be a soldier?
How much history do I need to learn in order to be functional for this? I like learning about history, but I'd really like to know how much I need to put in my head.
Are reenactment equipment expensive?
I'm really sorry if I use any wrong terms here. I'm still trying to understand everything. Also, I haven't been to any events since my area currently does not have any, nor does life leave me enough time to let me attend anyway. If there's any extra tips you guys could give me, please do. I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you so much.
