The Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum recently had a History Expo that included a Civil War encampment.    This image depicts the typical items carried by a soldier during the Civil War.   I wouldn’t make a very good soldier…..traveling “light” isn’t one of my strong points.  Just ask my friends at work … I carry way too much stuff in to work each day that I “just can’t live without”!    Oh and my camera bag [which is on wheels!] is now so heavy that I can’t even lift it.  Every lens and filter tends to go with me everywhere….”just in case”!  🙂
