This happened a few weeks ago and was really sweet.
I was at a reenactment on a Friday night and I walked across to the confederate camps to drop some things off with my ex-boyfriend (he wasn't in camp so I stayed and chatted with his other group members until the sun started to go down. After the sun was gone it started to get really dark really fast, so Harmony and I decided to walk back to our camp. On the bridge I met up with my friend Ron who offered me a ride back to camp, but only had a two seater golf cart and his son, so Harmony and I opted to walk. It was dark and the hill was very steep with long grass and other hazards hard for little legs so I decided to carry Harmony up the hill. Between walking up the hill, carrying Harmony and the cold air I started to have an asthma attack. By the time I walked into camp I wasn't getting hardly any air and was wheezing quite badly. I left Harmony with a friend at the edge of camp and went to my tent to get my inhaler. It wasn't there! I'd never taken it out of the car and the car was parked out of the camps at least 1/4 mile away ... maybe 1/2 mile away. I grabbed my keys and stumbled back out of my tent. The suttler was standing there. I handed him my keys and gasped "Inhaler, car, go!" He grabbed my keys and sprinted all the way to my car and all the way back with my entire backback because he couldn't find the inhaler in my backpack. Mind you I'd had school on Friday so I had 2 or 3 text books and my laptop in my backpack. It was one of the sweetest things anyone has done for me.
Later that night it got really really cold. Below freezing that night. About 2200 or 2230 I was getting ready to put Harmony in bed in the tent when the suttler strolls into camp. Him: I've come to get you and Harmony Me: Where are you taking us? Him: Back to the trailer So, he packed my air mattress and blankets into the back of his truck and drove us over to where the cars (and his trailer) was parked. We set up beds and went to sleep. The trailer was much warmer than the tent mostly because we were off of the ground and in an enclosed space.
Another reenactment: The suttler and I were sleeping in my tent and I woke up because of a pain in my hip. I look around and the air mattress has deflated we were laying on the ground. Me: Suttler, I think we're on the ground Him: Oh no did the air mattress deflate? Me: I think so Him: Let's go to the trailer. So, wrapped in a blanket, me wearing a cami and pj pants, him wearing pj pants, we walked to his trailer. He gave up his one tiny mattress so I would be comfortable and he slept on a couple blankets next to me.
