As a clarification, is this for everyone who will be visiting the fort but not camping as well? I've had some questions about that from those hoteling.

I assume it's like last year that anyone participating at the fort needs to fill one out regardless of where they set their aft quarters at night. Correct?

Yes, this form is for everyone and you are correct, anyone that wants to participate in the Fort activities needs to fill out a registration form. They will also need to check in to receive their passes. Unlike last year, I'll be sitting at the gate with the park representative. If by chance, they cannot be there during the scheduled registration time, they will have a list of folks at the gate and they will have to enter the Fort and check in with me at my tent to receive their passes.

Had a crew mate ask a question for clarification in the powder rules.

Understand the powder flask issue (I remember the one that went lost there one year, loaded), but what about shooting from chargers instead of cartridges. Some of us in the buccaneer era use the chargers/apostles. Are these still going to be allowed? I know some of us have never shot with cartridges ever, and have a lot more confidence in the chargers.

Let me know so I can let them know.

Pouring from wooden bandolier bottles/flasks is still allowed due to the fact that there is only enough powder for one shot per bottle/flask.

Note: Wooden bandolier bottles/flasks as in what some call apostles.

Please keep in mind that while in the encampment area anything containing powder is prohibited. A secure location will be provided for your use if you will be in the encampment for an extended period of time. Going to and from the battle will not be an issue.

Wonderful, thanks for the clarification. And yes, this is for apostles - one shot, one container. I don't want to open a can of worms here. :)

Oh not a can of worms...just needed to clarify more on my part, as someone was already asking what I meant by bottles/flasks...

Shay's a very happy camper... She didn't want to have to deal with cartridges with her decidedly awesome gun.

Just a reminder that registration forms are due November 1st.

There have been some questions about who needs to register. Absolutely everyone that wants to take part in any Fort event whether you are staying in the encampment or not. All participants, vendors, entertainers, photographers, staff, etc......... needs to register.

If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin!
