This channel will be about tips of reenacting, what and where to look for in quality gear and how to tell original gear from reproduction. I also have a discord channel for asking questions about WWII and sharing things about WWII so if you are interested you can find the link in the description or some of my newer videos and right below this text.

F in the chat for use big calf guys. I made it work, but could be better. Mine are that yellowish tan, and I'm thinking of dying them brown. I have them for reenacting, but not WW2. I'm using them for western shooting matches, old west reenactments, ect. Also wanted something for keeping my pant legs from snagging on my motorcycle shifter, and something for hunting, to keep from getting my boots soaked from morning dew. Edit: Actually, I do the occasional korean war reenactment, so I guess that's close enough lol
What about the musette bag
I just bought one of these. Have you made a video of how to carry it in your long duffel bag?
Where's your m1926 lifebelt? Good impression though!
You restore an Civil Defense Helmet, not WW1.
what kind of chip/ grain/ powder you scatter on it?
The first aid pouch location was moved from the left rear to front right in 42 (I think)
man I can't believe this is 2 years old already it felt like yesterday when you started the series
I just got an original pair, thanks
REPOP?😳 Not gorilla glued together like WPG POS?🙄 Jman
Do they have ponchos? I'd rather have the old school rubberized fabric type over the thin nylon ones.
The US Marines were issued with a reversible camo poncho and soldiers in the Pacific were issued with a solid green poncho.
Great video as always can you do a ww1 German video please you helped me make my channel and now I have 69 subs!
@@YellingRebReenacting Nice, what would you like to see for a wwi German video?
@reenactmentdays5891 What ever honestly maybe What you need Where to buy stuff How to wear stuff History of certain things How to darken leather stuff Etc
I'm thinking about buying one, but I want ask you a question does the jacket feel rubbery on the inside?
@@ReillySulser-bt3dl explain feel rubbery if you could.
@@reenactmentdays5891 Like slippery
Great review and videos keep up the good work!
he is back!!!
Da goat!!!!
@@quacked7891 real!
I liked the video man.. always great when you post
Again, way too much cork
@@BloodofmyKindred take into consideration that most of it will fall off with normal use
Way to heavy on the cork
Where did you get all of these stuff?
Most of it is from what price glory. The belt, helmet, haversack and bayonet are original. The campaign hat is made by prairie flower leather co. They make top tier repo helmets, liners and campaign hats but they do take a while. I'm pretty sure it's 3 guys in an old barn running the entire business but they do fantastic work.
There was a cigarette company Player that made a navy cut pack that was designed to fit in the breast pocket of the dress uniform, also the trousers had 13 buttons. My uncle was a WWII vet and and I have a picture of him in his dress blues wearing a Dixy Cup cover.
Vietnam impression is in my top 5 plus vietnam stuff is very easy and cheap to find. I'm only missing 4 items, and I can pick those up for cheap. The only thing that isn't cheap is a real ar that looks like an m16a1 or an m1a. So right now I use airsoft. To complete the look
I'm here because I saw these in the movie saving private Ryan. Exactly what is their purpose?
They provide a very slight protection against water but their main purpose was to keep the bottom of your trousers from catching on things and ripping
@@reenactmentdays5891 thanks mister I think they look cool on soldiers. Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭🖐🏼
Ok the service boot actually was worn in combat. When the us entered the war that was the armys standard boot. But there is footage and pictures of guys wearing them all the way to the end of the war.
Gators? It's gaiters.
well your tee shirt is wrong where are the GI issue undershorts with the button fly and string on the side to adjust size,, plus a few other basic items not shown here
For years i thought that Dana Designs built the Racer X modeled on the M 43 jungle pack. Then i saw this thing. The only thing it's missing is a dry bag.
I'd give anything to be a participant but sadly this helferin is unit less.:'(
Get the violinist!!!
I have a pistol belt because I don’t have a m1
I did a ww 2 Seabee yesterday I need to work on it
What do you think about the Corcoran jump boots from Miltec? And which is better Miltec or QMI?
Thank for the video, helped loads
Such awesome videos
World war civil air defense restore parts
Its still an awful desighn lol
Most definitely haha
The axe and pick/ matlock were issued 1 each per squad or platoon
Old Sturbridge Village! I haven't thought about that place in years. My elementary school made a field trip there on a sunny fall day back in 1972 or 73. I vividly remember walking with my friends to every barn and building.
Bumville?😳 Jman
Are you going to be there this yeat
Unfortunately not
He was like "okay okay geese" 😂😂
Hopefully we dont get another quick wave of rain again this year that blows down half of the shelters there 😂
Haha that came out of nowhere. It always rains at least once at reading
@@reenactmentdays5891 looked at the weather, don't think it's gonna rain once looks more like every day
2:07 Those dog tags are 100% not the ones used during the second world war. It's been some time since this video was uploaded so I hope you know this now, but the WW2 identity plates had such a distinctive notch found on the curved part of the tag. This was used so that they would align properly in an embossing machine that printed the information from the tag onto medical records. Another thing is that all of the information on your dog tags are incorrect. For an early war dog tag the order should be; FIRST ROW: First Name, Middle initial, Last name. SECOND ROW: Army serial number, tetanus shot dates, blood type. THIRD ROW: Next of kin. FOURTH ROW: Address. FIFTH ROW: City, state, religion. Later through the war the dog tags were simplified usually removing the address, city, state, and the next of kin and usually the middle initial would be after the last name.
Awesome M1 Garand :D
According to the research I've done, the HBT Daisy May cap saw almost no use in Europe. It saw limited use in it's light shade OD3 color in North Africa and Sicily, but was completely dropped by the time Italy was invaded. It continued to see service in the Pacific though. Another fun fact: the HBT pants especially were used as a windbreaker for troops in Europe over their wool pants to stay warm in winter when they didn't have M43s.
how is it with the tranch youre buil't in the back yard?
Where did you get this stuff?
All the stuff I unboxed I got from Nestof, they are in Poland but ship pretty quickly and they have good prices
Cool, I never see footage from the German side from newville, I hear the action in the distance and see the biplanes, to bad it’s not open to the public, I’m not interested in joining a group tho , i don’t have any ww1 stuff anyway lol, but I see they have Vietnam events
German impression coming soon!????
I already have one. WWI German
good info. Scolding and scalding have two very different meanings. In this case you want scalding.
Huh, I've been saying that my whole life. I'm surprised you're the first one to tell me haha
