I have never been camping a day in my life and I'm in the process of joining an 18th century reenactment club where they camp out and shoot BP. Problem is their next campout is in two months and i have never camp out a day in my life much less with 18th century equipment. I feel like I'm a little over my head guys. I have no clue where to start on supplies.

Nigga chill out, just fulfil the following needs:
Warmth
Dryness
Food
Drink

Go through each or a couple of these things in the supplies you get, 18th century or not. If they insist you goddamn sleep in 18th century clothes, then make sure to get very warm 18th century clothes.

If you need to learn how to make a tent, there are guides online. Other than that, it'll be fairly normal, don't panic.

You’ve come to the right place friend. Everyone here larps with canvas tents and thinks wool is the answer to everything

So pretty much just stock up on wool blankets and ground cloth. Dryness and warmth check I guess. I guess I just need to buy a whole bunch of cast cooking equipment for food prep. Any good ideas? Other than chinesium cast iron stuff or is that sufficient? Here's some pics of flintlocks.

have a look at this channel. find something that you like that isn't hard to make, and prepare accordingly.

if you're only going for a few days or whatever it's not worth wasting your money on a bunch of pans if you won't really need them.

if the organisers permit food that wasn't meant for irish sailors and scottish riflemen; look up some kind of sauce recipe, boil rice. add together and easy food. two pots/pans and lids required.

18th century equipment is soo inferior to Middle Earth equipment, you will surely suffer before you die.

Been subscribe to him for over but just didn't retain anything. Good reason for me to re-watch it all again.

I hope its going to be comfy

I know if I asked anyone about supplies they would give me everything they could and I don't want to burden but show I'm actually interested.

But the chances of you actually bringing period 18th century gear, which most likely costs a small fortune and useful only for this hobby, and being able to set it up without any help are pretty much zero. You probably want a wall tent, similar to some of the offerings at https://tentsmiths.com/shop/ and http://www.pantherprimitives.com/furtrade.html

i did lots of campouts of all kinds and i always find it better if the friends i go with ask if i could share lend them euquiptment because they either dont know or dont have the stuff to be comfy. The worst times i had with the guys who wanted to show off to be able to do it on their own and were cold, grumpy and miseable. That can spread on the whole camp. Id rather jug in a extra blanked/sleeping bag etc. since its not much of a problem and everybody has a way better time.
I like that you want to be self sufficient, but one has to be tought tho speak the alphabet before being able to speak. Best way to learn is to be shown and not of internet vids and memes. Everybody has a different level of comfort.

like first poster says, calm the fuck down.
camping is just sleeping outside.
just erect an $80 walmart tent somewhere.
make sure you're warm and dry and you're 90% of the way there.
pack some food and drink for the night/morning and you're good.
