My Australian Grandfather was at a place called Pozieres Ridge in 1916. The Krauts had made a breakthrough with Stormtrooper superior forces . Eight Australians digging out of a Bunker .Reliable reports say it was 20 to 1 against the Australians who went at the Krauts who had Captured other Australians who had been devastated after Eight Hours of Shelling, mostly wounded ,captured and being taken back to the Krauts Lines. All Eight, in Eyewitness reports being Hit multiple times, rounded up the Krauts killing or capturing the Enemy forces ! Freeing their Mates !....now my People the Australians have been covertly exterminated and covertly replaced with mostly moronic third world migrants ...Lest WE forget.

very helpful info on how and why to set up the gear. another reason to have the belt at your navel is if you feel yours sides at that level, that is actually where the top of your hips are. you want the wait distributed onto your hips at the waist. chainmail is worn with a belt at the waist to help the weight of the chainmail to be distributed to your hips and not left solely to your shoulders. 🤗

Does the wide mouth canteen have the attachment to accept the gas mask straw like the plastic one you have? Semper Fi! I went in in '88 and had LBE...as you know, it was All Purpose for an Individual!

As a child growing up in the 80's, with all of the action movies, Soldier of Fortune magazine, and the cold war raging in the news on TV, for me, having a complete set of ALICE gear was the Holy Grail of all military equipment. I can still remember the smell of digging through a used gear bin at the local Army & Navy store, dreaming about building a perfectly correct infantryman's loadout. Oh the memories!!! Ultimately my Mother actually helped me fill out a paper order form from the Brigade Quartermaster's catalog, sign a check, stuff it all in a stamped envelope, and drop it in the mailbox. I don't remember exactly how long it took to finally receive that order, but it felt like an eternity. 😃 lol Once it arrived, I put it all together, and my friends and I were off to the woods, to run around acting out our favorite military movie scenes. Great times! 🙂

I'm an LBE kinda grunt.1982 baby.

As a old fart, I like the LBE. The nylon is better than the cotton, for at least one reason. The nylon doesn't rot away in hot humid conditions.

Like you, my personal preference, after all these years, is still the good old LBE. I combine it with my ALICE pack, and I'm good to go.

We wore the ammo pouches directly in front on the belt when I was in the Air Force. There’s an eyelet on the ammo pouch the suspender can attach to. Might be a little critical to assume someone wasn’t in the military or hadn’t use this setup based on where the mag pouches are. Because that would be a broad assumption

The SAW pouches almost require the use of those eyelets. A 200rd drum is heavy and worn on the side, tend to flop.

One of your best midweek videos, I've never been in the military nor will I ever do what you do, but, I truly enjoy watching and flowing you. You are doing what you want to in life and that rocks.

Being an old Infantrymen I prefer my LBE personally, And as always, the gear you have is the best gear to use

I like the LBE. Free open chest area so you can get real low when you have to hit the dirt.

Long Live the Republic 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hey corp. I don’t remember if you’ve ever done this, but a neat reminder for a midweek clip would be to remind people to make charcoal whenever the opportunity comes up. I was homeless for a short 30 month stint in the early 70’s living in a low cider lock hut I built in a patch of woods behind a grocery store, and I had to be careful about smoke from my cook fire because the local talent would call the cops. In my frequent scrounging I found two sections of 6 inch clay sewer pipe. Whenever I had a fire, I had this pipe stuffed with dry oak chunks (be sure to seal the ends with clay) against the fire so I had a steady supply of slower burning, relatively smokeless fuel. Easy to do and takes very little effort.

We Need You, FRIEND

As a Brit, I have to say I love the molle gear and gucci stuff the kids have these days, but our version of the LBE was 58 Pattern webbing, still have it, still love it, still use it.

I love your old school videos. Still have mine from way back in the day, nineteen eighty-mumble-mumble.

Thanks! You did a better job explaining the load out than my drill sergeant did 43 years ago!

This us what you do best. Equipment comparisons and how to wear and use. While I am recovering from throat cancer surgery this Tuesday, I will be catching up on some of your past videos. Keep up the good work.😊

I'm with you, LBE all the way. I wasn't always this sweet little old grandma.

I am a Vietnam Vet and the y harness is my favorite because it is what I am familiar with and used. I have adaptive my y to hold bedroll for overnight or multi day trips. Good info and examples with your video. Thanks for your service.

ALICE gear with the "butt pack" and utility belt. Old school, but it works for me.

Those ammo pouches, I cut the plastic inside, then a Sawyer Mini Filter Kit fits inside, it makes a great water kit to have on the belt.

I love this-thank you so much for posting-I use so much surplus and have brought my children up on these types of load outs and gear. Proud moment they have continued doing this into their own adult years.

I still use the LBE (web gear) as my standard for hunting and hiking Alice gear for the win

I have 3 setups; M1956/M1967 H-Harness, ALICE Y-Harness, and Enhanced Tactical Vest. My favorite is the LBV, however I do like the H-Harness also. The real answer is they are all good. The Y-Harness has the least material on your back so you cool off better. The H-Harness has better weight distribution, and the M1967 Harness has hooks for a second buttpack if you need it. The LBV lets you load up a ton of stuff with extra pouches. They all work well. They are all battle tested. They all get the job done on a small budget. I say get all 3 systems so you can have the flexibility of using whichever one fits the role best. I have about $200 in all 3 setups. I do still need a couple buttpacks and an ammo pouch for the 56 gear, but you can set up an LBV and ALICE for about $120. That's total, not each. Throw in an ALICE pack and you are GOLD.

Hey Corporal....I've been with you for over 3 years now, went back and watched Every single video from your start and I've learned a few knots, Many shelters, and Hundreds of hours of Invaluable information...so my Brother, I'll be right here for the last Ever video !!!!.... Which I Hope never comes....Ever Forward !!

I still prefer the H harness LBE. It took me digging through several pallets of old gear to find mine when I was in, but when you are a medic, you need a little bit more support for your gear.

I preferred the H-Harness.

Still have my H harness, ALICE gear x3. Using a Blackhawk H harness now and love it.

That titanium bottle would be an awesome upgrade as the green plastic made the water taste terrible. Good video bud

Ah, deuce gear! I took my swing at the Corps with OCS in the '70s. During the first increment in '75, I was issued WWII 782 gear and an M14! In '77, we got ALICE and we thought we were on top of the world! I far prefer the M1956 pattern with the H-harness, for all the reasons you mention. IF I ever have to go prone for protection, I want as little as possible between me and the Good Earth! Carrying a bunch of gear on a chest rig just looks like it keeps the wearer too high. There's also an episode of 'Magnum, P.I.' where he wears an LBE rig for a day hike.

I was in before you so I kept all my deuce gear. I have the H harness on mine and the belt has the metal buckle. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it so I’ve used it for years. Good information

I love the old school gear. When I was in the Army back in the late 80's, I wore and used the LBE. It was great gear, versatile, light weight and very functional. I do miss it. If I ever come across another one, I'm getting it. Great video Shawn; definitely a trip down memory lane for me.

I can see why you like the one system. Especially if you're carrying a sidearm. Thanks for sharing the difference between the systems Corporal Kelly. Have a great day.

I think you should join forces with guy from Ranger Survival 50/50 and put on your own class. You guys were cut from the same cloth. I think it would be top notch.

The LBE is my favorite for all the reasons you stated. I have a slightly larger butt pack. I tried a commercial mesh vest , to hot , not adaptable. For day hikes nothing beats the LBE.

Speaking the truth brother.

I always do, and some cant handle the truth.......

I'm old & still prefer the "harness." The vest has its points, but to me, falls short of the harness.

Awesome and makes a lot of sense. Can tell some times that the people designing the equipment are not the ones wearing it in the field. Dad had several plastic canteens that when he got out we used to deer scout and while hunting. Outstanding

Great video and very informative. I learned a lot, as always. Please keep your videos coming. I never miss an episode. Thank you, Shawn

The old lbe was simple and still works....

I'd love to see reviews of the current gear that is used nowadays.

I wore both in the USMC. 93-03 . The LBE was far superior!! As comfort goes, the arm rest and brain bucket holder "ammo pouch" vs the LBV which you couldn't rest your arms or hang your bucket from... Also, all the loops from the vest made it harder to attach your gear and hook on my beloved Vietnam era canvas butt pack for storing Chef B and my stove. It was also harder when we had to wear a flak jacket. I fielded the LBV at MCT in 93 for trials and coming from the old stuff at P.I. from boot, we didnt care for it. Fast forward 30 years and I am wearing OCP body armor with all the high speed garbage and I still rather have my canteens and ammo pouches as trying to get in and out of vics at 50 is starting to suck! GO National Guard!!! lol

I was notified by youtube. I'm also subscribed so they are doing their part imo with all Your videos because I get all your notifications 🙂

I still use the harness I trained with it I'm used to it.

Ran both of those systems during my time in the Army between 93-97. Started with the LBE, then around 95 I was issued the LBV. Like you said, it's a love hate relationship. Pretty much ran the same set up as yours. I can say I hated the pistol belts, chaffing was a bitch during rucks no matter where you positioned the belt.

I was in during the 80's. We were issued LBE. I preferred the H-harness. If you had a pistol the cheesey leather holster attached to your web belt. We wore ours lower, if you wore it high it got in the way of your ruck. Great videos , keep up the good work.

Old school , Vietnam used and approved by Sgt. Six

First,enjoy your mid week videos. Next, what great info you share . Interesting how new equipment is designed. I like the old school one.

Love the old school military gear it just works and last a long time

Shawn , We called in it Duce gear (782). We had a entrenching tool . And Bayonet.

so did we, but most didnt so I used the legit name

LBE and well packed small Ruck sack good to go for a lot of situations I have found

I'm old school I retired in 1994. Like you I use the lbe for a long time even after I retired I was using it on my hikes in the woods. I was introduced to a late 90s zippered FLC vest. M81 Woodland camouflage you know God's camouflage. That one is very comfortable I've got the canteens on there, Old School Woodland butt pack, and my Woodland Poncho rolled up like we used to carry it on the upper back portion. It's basically a military-style Daypack with all the accessories that you would need for bushcrafting out for the day. As always stay frosty AF

Actually when I was in the Marines (77-95) we were instructed to place the magazine pouches in the front. Placing them off to the side was a later, field type improvisation.

Wholeheartedly agree, definitely use the LBE for day trips, I use the old first aid kit in lieu of mag pouches though. They were great for keeping Copenhagen cans dry during a PEX and still are. Only had the LBV for the first 9 months I was in, but some of us brought them to Squad Leaders Course, they came in handy for some training evolutions, where we didn't have to wear flak jackets and SAPIs.

Very cool video....thanks for explaining....I like the old school as well!!

LBE all day every day. Ours was a different configuration. 2 F88 rifle mag pouches on the left, F89 minimi to the right, water bottle/cups canteen each side and bum bag rear. Aussie setup.

The LBE sure brings back memories!! 😊 Thank you for another great video!!

I love your military midweek videos. Especially the history of military and products.

Really enjoyed the video thank you again

Thank you for this video. I really appreciate it. This was a great video! Ah the memories. I have some of the newer gear and always tend to go back to the oldschool gear for a reason. Thanks again!

There's alot to be said about "old school" gear, I tend to tell my kids it's "experienced, and field proven".. lol 😂 Love the comparison sir. 😊

Old infantryman here, old school LBE for me. putting one together again to have put up.

LBE all the way

Thanks for your service and love the video

Great content as always Brother!! Really enjoy and appreciate learning from genuine people with knowledge and experience! Thanks again for everything you do and God Bless!!

For me that's the best set bushcraft survival tactical light weight setup.

Thanks again for your effort on these videos!!!!!!!

Holly shit that brings back memories of having that gear !! Nice job on video as always!!! Keep kicking ass and taking names!!! 🤝🤝🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

My LBE was like my best friend in the Army in the mid to late 90s went every with me and always had my back😜🇺🇸

I'm really enjoying your mid week videos! Thanks so much

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Always great stuff all of it✊🏾

Thank for this video, my wife got me one of these vest for my birthday to help me with camping, (I got a badly damaged back), it distributes the weight an Carrys my basics an let’s my pack carry my ‘luxury items’ for the trip lol

I’ve followed you for about 5 years. Always great contents. Expertly explained. Keep them coming. I gone back a viewed all of your old uploads that are accessible to me. I think.

Great to see some kit info, I miss the old gear reviews!!

Always liked the LBE. That's what I use. Reminds me of what my Pop used in Vietnam n I still have!

I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Thanks for the great material. Keep up the great work.

67-93, Nam 1969-70, That's familiar equipment that I still have and have used on occasion. Good stuff Marine, as usual!

Thanks for breaking it down for us sir. Catch ya Sunday.

LBE I absolutely hated when the ARMY switched.

Great info. I was able to pick up the suspenders and belt a few years ago and the a nylon rump pack that was woodland camo. I will be using info from a number of your videos to make a short distance rig. Thanks for your service and your work.

Thanks for clarifying butt pack placement. I got an lbv and always felt I had it wrong, either too high or low.

How nice to see a mid week video. Always something to learn from Shawn. Thanks bro. Keep up the good work!!! 👍👍👍

ONCE more incredible and another lesson learned

Thank you! Very informative.❤

This brings back happy memories of wearing 58 Pattern Webbing, thanks for uploading another great video.

Excellent breakdown of the 2 systems. Thanks!

This video is very needed for gear hounds. Love the content

First! Great video man. I love seeing the older gear in play.
