That is what Webster has to say about it., Reenactors use the term "trek" in a slightly different manner.
To those dedicated to Living History as experimental archeologists, to trek or go trekking is a way to explore the lives of generations past by experiencing, first hand, wilderness situations using clothing, accoutrements, and blackpowder weapons authentic to those used by the early Settlers (1700-1840) and Native Americans.
These woods outings generate a great deal of insight into the amazing resourcefulness of our forefathers and enable Reenactors to better understand the hows and whys of historical equipment. |
