May I ask how to keep the head from sliding off its handle? Could anybody please help??? Mine is a vintage one, and the head is removable, too, but how to make it more efficient without mounting the head permanently to keep it still removable?
I found a pattern 2 cap in a McDonald’s parking lot in the late ‘70s when I was kid in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It had a black subdued sergeant’s rank pin (E-5) on it. The owner was probably a soldier from many Camp Shelby who accidentally lost it climbing into their troop transport when they stopped by for breakfast. I still have it somewhere at my parent’s house. Haven’t finished going through everything yet after inheriting it.
@@WebGearReview thank you for the reply, hope you put out another video soon. I just discovered your channel within the past several months and I subscribed immediately. Excellent content
Thankyou.i used this same equipment in the Australian army in the early 1980s. I found new octopus webbing from a surplus store as a kid. Years Later in the army I told a friend and fellow soldier about this webbing that may have something to do with our webbing, it did and my mate collected this stuff and traded my for it. My mate I traded with later became connected to the army history unit. I had an idea but I didn’t know how it fit together with my webbing at the time, as we didn’t use octopus webbing, now I do, thankyou
I have the jungle packs in green and camouflage as well as the M-1943. Without referencing them I would have to say that repo has some problems. The canvas used on the body looks too heavy and the originals I have seen have green straps and trim, not the khaki shade like yours.
thank you for these instructions! i just received the carrier straps today to add to my ALICE pack and frame! Already figured out a way to attach them :D
I really want to let you know that I appreciate your videos. They have acted as primer for me to dig back into some bins of old gear I have but never really knew what it was. I really hope you come back to making videos and this series, in particular. From one creator to another, Thank you.
Tad lightspeed, mr asap, goruck 26l rucker, somehow my grandpas m1945 and fit the mr futura medium harness on er, sum bitch with a drop belt, rucker is nice for carry on but mr futura harness is boss, get it and fit it to anything
You earned a subscriber with this video. I've had my qenuine USGI 1 quart and pouch/cup for decades but I've just now got a 2 quart in OD green with NBC cap and desert pouch/strap. Everything seems new and legit. I love the design. It was educational hearing you talk about the years, types, origin, and development...
I have only recently found and subscribed to your channel...and what a treasure trove of priceless information you have created. I have learned tons of facts about items in my own collection, in an area of collecting with little reference information otherwise. Thanks again for everything you do! Much appreciated!
After years of collecting M1956 through to the MOLLE II system, I have finally decided to collect earlier webbing and your channel has been really helpful.
Thanks for the detail. I bought a Pattern 1 and then 2 here in UK for less than $10 each. Really practical and well tailored garments. Sizing is pretty hard to work out. Generally way larger than you would think. .
Thank you so much for this detailed video about military canteens. I certainty learned a lot more about the canteens in my own collection. Much appreciated!
Kinda weird because with my m43 field jacket, the pocket tab is sewn half way through like a m50 would. But my m43 has no buttons on the inside of the field Jacket and the gussets are also wider like the m43 jacket in the video has.
