All the gear I own (as of 15 Aug. 2023). All the gear one would have been issued in the 1980s or 1990s in the US Army. 1980s, 1990s US Army loadout/impression. I forgot some items, so watch all my videos so you don't miss anything!
Great video man you got lot of interesting equipment, I'm making a 82nd AD Captain kit myself and theres a lot of minor equipment people often forget about. I'm european but hopefully there are lot of surplus stores around.
what an impressive collection, always blown away by how much kit you have. i love the 4th psychological special operations group beret..(cool grandpa) oh and top tip. you do need to clean those winter boots...unlike the jungle boots they do need to be maintained for waterproofing and longevity.
Just going to say that your collection is pretty impressive. Right now I have a PASGT vest & helmet (both M81), ALICE LC1 webbing, the M65 Pack, BDUs (temperate & hot weather) Panama Jungle Boots, as well as a full M81 MOPP suit (excluding overboots) and an M17A2. I've recently been getting into milsurp collection so I'm planning on trying to see if I can get my hands on other stuff like DBDU gear, cold weather gear or a DNC parka
How heavy is the common gear deployment? 2 front pouches, 2 Canteens, the Buttpack itself, 1 Compass on the left Suspender. How heavy is all of them equipped with actual stuff inside? Is it difficult to walk on hills, or sprint? I have the "Basic kit" with the Belt, suspender, two pouches for now but with nothing to put inside them for now. Not to mention the Jungle Boots combined.
The basic kit is between 10-20 lbs. The weight is not enough to feel very heavy. It is not difficult to run if it is fitted correctly, keep it right above the waist.
I've never seen the belt mounted chaplain pouch for the ALICE system, nor ever seen it documented anywhere but here. That's incredibly interesting. I've seen later pouches but not that one. Incredible collection man!
