The Crew of the Scavenger is hosting a living history encampment on
an island, just South of Marco Island, on Florida's West coast, this coming
January 13th through 16th. It is basically a pirate shore camp, or careening
camp, taking place in the year 1717.
This is the first of what we hope will be a yearly event. There are
no spectators, this is purely for reenactors and living history folks. All kits
must be historically based, from the clothes you wear to the camp you set up.
We have a set of authenticity guidelines, and are trying to avoid hollywood
tropes at all costs.
We will be boating out to the island. Though we will be loosely
concentrated on the southern tip, everyone will be selecting their own
campsite. There are no facilities, no water, no food, and no entertainment
provided. You must haul in whatever supplies you need, including a mandatory 5
gallons of water.Modern medications, and toiletries, must stay hidden from
sight. Try to avoid bringing other modernities.
Not trying to scare anyone off, but I don't want to provide a false
impression of what this encampment will be like. It will be rough, but therein
lies the fun.
