PERSONAL EFFECTS, AND BARRACKS ITEMS

From the beginning, the 29th ID has been the leader in living history impressions. We are known for a quality barracks impression, which is why we recommend and encourage you to obtain a full kit.  Many of the programs that we are involved in portray the life of the soldier in the barracks as well as the field. The following listed items are required for a barracks impression.  These items will enhance your impression and will help increase your personal comfort as well. Many of the personal hygiene disposable items such as toothpaste and shaving soap can be period commercial (civilian) items.
