Episode Synopsis

Battalion Trek 2008 was a research effort, not a true reenactment but... we did want to have some authenticity in terms of equipment.  Then inviting people to come and march with us as "Cooke's Cadre"  sent us on an interesting quest to find guns, packs, belts, tents, and accoutrements to outfit ten people.  We wanted to give them a taste of what traveling the Mormon Battalion Trail may have been like in 1846-7..  
Here we talk about the equipment we gathered, and two times where it was enjoyed by others.
To see the equipment that is described here.  We encourage you to subscribe to Battalion Trek's YouTube channel.
