: : Well, not being a trekker OR a re-enactor, my word will not be definitive, but here's how I interpret the difference ...
: : A re-enactor strives, as the name implies, at re-enacting, or re-creating, an event or life-style of a particular era.
: : A trekker, is, in probably nearly all cases, a re-enactor. The subtle difference being that this re-creation is not of a specific event necessarily, but a period "trek" into the wilderness, or elsewhere.
: : I would think woman are welcome in either case ...
: : Any re-enactor/trekker want to elaborate, confirm, or otherwise?
: WooooEEEE! Upon close examination, I believe the little
: buckskin muffin in that picture is suffering from an acute
: Doctor Maryitis deficiency. Please have him re-enact his
: way off that mountain and report to the Emergency Clinic
: ASAP. His health is at stake!!!
