What you just showed was most of the camping we did in the oregon and idaho woods as young men. Once we graduated from supervised campouts in the boy scout pup tents and packs rattling with old cook kits we went light so we could move. We might have only been running around several hundred acres fishing up some crick or huntin deer away from everyone else, but the idea was less is more and just enough to get by was better than hauling all that junk around. As an old grey wolf I still love doing that, but it’s more hobo camping (not doing anything productive, lots of pipe smokin and whisky sipping) and I have to replace that hard ground with a hammock. Canteen kit, knife and a belt pack on a good leather belt, and a haversack or satchel with the rest of it.

That is pretty much the gear I started out with in the late 60s and early 70s back when I was in the Boy Scouts, gifts from my Uncle Bud that did 6 tours in Nam with the Army. Then Uncle Sugar saw fit to issue me some of my very own "new" stuff in the mid to late 70s though most of it was basically USMC or SEABEE issue. Left the small boats and went to a brand spanking new Spruance Class Destroyer and they let me keep the gear. :-) Still have a couple of pieces though most of it went on to the boys or some of my scouts. The canteen system really came in handy right after Katrina!

I used the Suspenders and Pistol Belt with a Poncho Liner(never met anyone who called it a woobie back then) and Sterno was available at the PX when they were out of the Heat Tabs. All my Fatigues wore out years ago. I never saw a Camo Poncho until I re-enlisted in 1984. The Poncho they issued us in 1974 was Green right at the end of Viet Nam. Good use for the Sleeping Bag Cover ,I wish I still had some of the Gear from back in the 70's but mine was stolen out of my old 68 Chevy Caprice by the same person who took it out and Blew the Engine.

Great vid Blackie as always. Serving in the British Army late 80s/early 90s I was always a bit envious of the US ALICE buttpack compared to our webbing. Now I'm in civvy street I've acquired quite a bit of surplus gear, mostly more recent British kit (it got a lot better from the mid 90s, our issue kit back then had more in common with WW1 equipment than modern gear, I'm not joking), plus some Dutch, German, Swiss and Swedish gear. US kit is harder to come by here. A couple of years back in a moment of madness I bought a full German army webbing rig in Flecktarn, but maybe not such a bad idea as it was a great price and cheaper than buying a few of the pouches separately. I wouldn't go out into the woods here with that rig on as I would look at best like some kind of LARP/cosplayer, at worst some kind of paramilitary nutjob. But watching your vid here has given me food for thought on how I can use the ''Mehrzwecktasche'' from that - which is essentially a buttpack which has straps on top to which I could attach a poncho - and a couple of other pouches, perhaps the woodland camo Dutch Army ones, to make a haversack type setup like yours. The principle is the same as with military webbing, a lightweight setup containing enough gear to be self sufficient and be able to camp out overnight.

Back in the early 90s well into the 00s I was on tanks in El Paso, Texas as well as Germany and the Balkans wars and a wee bit of the sandbox times. Whenever we'd do week-long field exercises in White Sands Missile Range, one of the platoon's tank drivers would cook up a rattlesnake he'd always catch out there. Only a couple of us would eat it with him and it was a fairly decent change of pace from pogey bait and MREs. At night whenever the weather called for storms we'd spin the gun tube over the back deck and elevate it to use it as an "improvised ridgeline" and drape the tank tarp over it and tie it down to the back deck and sleep under it. Always stayed dry on the tank. Didn't need a fire since it took many, many hours for the tank's jet turbine engine and the back deck of the tank to cool down so we were always warm with just our sleeping mats/PT pads and old-school sleeping bags before we were issued sleep systems for the Balkans' deployments.

I'm more a Silver Lamb than a fox but...I camped in that era and, for sure, I saw a bunch of the same equipment you feature and owned and used some of it. I would still prefer the muslin bag you used to the unbreathable plastic 'contractors' bag. We hiked up and down terrain. The shoulder pack/butt pack was never comfortable for me, maybe because one limb was a little longer than the other. The straps always twisted on me. On two or three-day outings, I got by fine with the type of meals you remember. At the end of some days, I was too beat to feel like eating much. I still am satisfied that I did those things.

Though I rarely used one , I did use a poncho liner for a few weeks in RVN . Wish I would have thought of that sleeping bag cover idea ! Nobody carried the stove , used C4 and C ration stove . JP fuel in C rats can with dirt or sand at the Z or FSB . I don't remember having a camo poncho , but I used one every night while I.C. Interesting how things changed .

Blackie, I have acquired an M42 gas mask bag and trying to figure out how to configure it as a haversack of sorts. Any ideas?

I was wondering, if you ever had any snakes to join you during your camping trip?

no i have woken up and one be in sight out on other side of camp but not with me down here we have all the snakes but what most people dont know is snakes are preyed upon by coons and opossums and so when the night animals come out to hunt the snakes got to hide or they will get eat so if you check your bed before getting into go to sleep it is a very small chance one with join you

Have you ever had problems with snakes coming to cuddle up at night when sleeping like this?
