I would have never guessed that. My Mom taught me that Worcester Sauce was pronounced "Whas-Dis-Here" Sauce. I'm glad you enjoyed the video & I hope you have a great day

That is pretty cool. The older the better in most cases. If nothing else, think of the history and the adventures that has been on. I love military surplus, old boyscout gear and vintage gear because through the gear, there is a connection to adventures past and the stories these things could tell only add to our own. Thank you.

@@OliveDrabAlliance Aye great cook pot. Have used it on long stay out camp boating trips. The size gives great hot water uses on morning wash ups. Also its great volume capacity. To carry loads of nick nacks etc. Very versatile tough piece of History. I was going to Tart it up with new paint but decided. No. It stays in its historic colour. Thanks for your reply. Keep the videos coming in.Big Jack and i enjoy watching them. JACKS A big cat that sits on my chest. 🐱👍

@CalumMacNeil-qb6wp I originally was prepared to paint this one. I bought some "green" fireplace paint... but it looks like a minty color. I can't paint thus thing mint. An alpenflage paint job would be cool though

Sorry i made a mistake. The Swiss cammo is the MINESTRONE. Not Macaroni. My fault. 👍🇨🇭

I'm thinking of attaching it to a backpack frame. I don't like that it is cotton, but it might turn out cool. I recently (2 months ago) watched a video on how the Alpenflace uniform was an all in one, uniform, pack and belt. I don't know why or how I didn't make the connection until somebody here pointed it out. Thanks for watching

@@OliveDrabAlliance I thought about turning one into a shoulder bag, as the cloth would be flexible and conform to the body. But between removing hardware, finding a shoulder strap to add that would work and look OK. It never came about, the pockets were not all that versatile, either, IIRC. Maybe an additional removeable bag on a pack ? or add to a pack lid?

I wish I knew that before I gained 100 pounds! Hahaha Thanks

One piece at a time sometimes. You are correct though. Thank you

Very interesting idea. I might have to put some rivets in it? Thank you and I love the idea

@@OliveDrabAlliance Your welcome. I don't quite get the rivet idea. How would you do that?

@@ScorpionRegent I was thinking of riveting a can opener directly onto the mess kit somehow. Maybe a dumb idea, but every good idea starts with a few dumb ideas

Only Beefaroni is Beefaroni. I am no Chef Boyardee that's for sure! Hahahaha Thank you

@ no you are a Spammer

@kennethwilson8633 Truth. Maybe a SPAM and Swiss cheese dish is called for here? Hahahaha

I've heard so many good things about this kit. I can't wait to get out there and get cooking. Thank you

Thank you. It is aluminum. I drilled holes in the cup of my Chinese ones. My plan was to punch (not drill) holes into thus one, but it's in such good shape, I'm nervous about messing it up. The pack is in excellent condition, no holes and no Rips. Thanks!

Thank you. I was nervous, but it had to be tested.

I just like trying to pronounce the name.

Mine got delivered a couple days ahead if schedule. It must have been a good week at the airport. I could easily see this being delayed, but yes, I was lucky. Thanks for watching

I'm going to put it on a pack frame. Normally, they attach to the Alpenflage uniform.

Don't be jealous. Be better. Because you are better than being jealous. Thanks for watching

You've got to test your gear before you depend on your gear. Thank you

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it & I'm glad you check out the videos. Much appreciated.

There is something to be said for that. I am hesitant on civilian gear, but I'm trying to keep an open mind. Thanks for watching

@OliveDrabAlliance I have used military canteens since I was a kid back in the early eighties and love it but have found there is a lot of good civilian stuff as well. Finding the issue canteen gets left behind when I have a choice. Replaced either by a Nalgene, a metal bottle or the British Army water bottle.

Thank you. It's people like you who take just a second to show support that keep the channel growing. I appreciate it.

Thank you for constantly showing support. I appreciate it.

It's a laugh a minute here... :-/ Just kidding, we have a good time. Most "survival" youtubers are so serious all the time. They also demand that you recognize them as the utmost authority and expert. I see through all that. Let us learn together and have fun doing so, even though it is a serious topic. A lot of these big youtube channels see every view I get as one less view they get. They poo poo people like me and they even poo poo their own viewers. Ain't nobody got time for that. Thanks for watching & stay tuned.

You are correct! Now that you mention it, they had an all in one uniform. Somebody else here said the Swiss, German and Finnish mess kit are all the same. Maybe from the same factory? Do you know anything about that? Thank you

@@OliveDrabAlliance I was ...allowed...to use the German one extensively. And I bought the Swedish version which is similar, but has additionally a Trangia (we had Esbit) cooker, a bottle for the spirits (to use with the cooker..allegedly)-if you see three crowns (tre cronor) stamped in it is Swedish. German Stuff will have BUND stamped in. Swiss and Austrian equipment is frequently very similar. The Austrian pup tent is made the same way, but out of a synthetic, and much lighter material than the heavy one from Germany-which is much more resilient to sparks-but friggin heavy if you lug it around-in particular if it got wet... If you can try to get the German cutlery set. If wars would be fought with utensils we would win every confrontation hands down...sadly, we found out that is not the case, and got beaten several times ;-)

@RealMash that is awesome information. I've never seen the German cutlery.... but I don't know, the Yougoslavian cutlery I got with my yougoslavian mess kit is pretty dang stout! Cheers my friend

Truth! I like to put as many of my ingredients as I can into it. It's like a game to see what will fit. I wish there was a canteen that fit into these like the old west German kits had. Thank you

And made in the U.S.A. to boot. No offense to my viewers from around the world, but I am very partial to the U.S. Thank you

@OliveDrabAlliance Yes! I think Blackhawk helps them make them too

No worries. Yes it is a sickness and I'm sure there is no cure. I've got it bad for mess kits and Coleman Stoves. You should see the pile of Stoves I have.

Check if your mess kit has three crowns on it-then it is the swedish one. We had no trangia (esbit) and no way to block the wind(wind was simply ordered to die down when we wnated to cook ;-) . A swedish one I have has those items. Very good kit, anyway. Diferent from the German one, the Swiss one was extremely similar to the German one I was issued.

I'm always amazed at being able to get "stuff" from all around the world. I don't know why.... most "stuff" we buy here in the U.S.A. isn't made here. I wish it was and maybe we should. If this channel ever gets big enough, I'm opening a mess kit factory.

@OliveDrabAlliance Hey, if you do that, I'll come work for you! Lol

The mess kits right? Not necessarily the people? Very interesting. I did not know that. I have a Chinese, a polish, a Soviet and now a Swiss/German/Finnish mess kit of this style. Thanks for the info and for watching

@@OliveDrabAlliance People are similar, too ;-)

I have the same love for flektarn camo. Great videos.

@@kylechambers-f3g WHO SAID FLECKTARN!!?? WHERE IS IT? WHO'S GOT SOME!!??? WHERE WHERE WHERE!!??? Yep, I feel the same way. Does it show?

Nope, the swiss one contain more than German and Austrian and Finish. Ask me why i know that😁

I was so excited to get this delivered today. I got my Trangia ready and all my ingredients, but I really want to use that Alpenflage pack and keep it Swiss themed. I'll figure it out soon enough. Thanks for watching & I've seen "just the stove" for sale here and there. Sometimes you gotta build it one piece at a time.

@ I really like the Alpenflage also.

I’ve gotten two of the Swiss mess kits from the Finnish guys and both were in excellent unissued condition

Thank you! Much appreciated

Always... Thanks for watching

If I had one, I would. I don't think we would get a similar result though Thanks for watching

​@@OliveDrabAllianceJust funning. If you ever got a tank you'd prolly think of other things you'd rather do with it, yeah?🙂

Yeah, the one side has the gasket and the attachment at the bottom that I could see leaking. I like these a lot, they are a little small for cooking but we'll built and not too big. They are getting hard to find/expensive. Thanks for watching!

Originally, the main video to this was going to be about a project I was building that featured a reproduction of the Hollywood version of Soviet camouflage from the movie Red Dawn. That project got delayed, so I figured I would just have a little fun with the camo fabric. This part of the video was just me having a little bit of fun. Thanks for watching

That boy ain't right. Hahahaha Thank you

This is my first one. Many people have left comments recommending it, so I figured I would pick one up. I had to test it out though. Thanks for watching

Sound advice! I honestly thought the tractor would break it. I was surprised it didn't get squashed like a grape. I'm a beliver now. Thank you

It's probably still intact. That is an awesome story, thank you for sharing. What a great memory for you and your friend.

@@OliveDrabAlliance It may have split open from ice pressure, or it may have been picked up by a spring skier. Those things are solid.

Will do. You have a good one too. Thank you

It's like having a wild coyote for a pet sometimes, but he is a good boy and very lovey. He either needs to be constantly petted or constantly play fetch.

@@OliveDrabAlliance - In regards to your previous video, if you're interested just yesterday we got about a $60 haul of preps to top off just in time for the election. There's a photo on my community tab. Hope y'all are ready too. 👍

I think you and I have the same sickness. I just can't get enough canteens & mess kits. There is no cure! Thank you

@@OliveDrabAlliance Good Morning John ! I HEAR THAT. Have a GREAT DAY. TAKE CARE..

That is probably the #1 thing I hear as to why people like the Nalgene. People also like that you can put boiling water into it. This is my first one. I got it after a lot of people recommend it, but my first impression was that it felt cheap & fragile, so I had to test it. I'm a believer now. Thank you

They do. They have red, blue, green and thus one is kind of a tan/green color. But yes... it is full of piss. Hahaha Not really... but yeah, they come in many colors. Thanks for watching

Nalgene are probably better known for their cylindrical water bottle style containers. 32 Oz. I think is their common size. I like this one because it fits in all the military style cups and stands (stoves)

Hahaha... I got this Nalgene canteen because many people here said they were good. I just had to see for myself I guess. All in good fun. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you

My beautiful wife said I HAD to ride down the slide.... I did nit, but as always, she is right. Thanks watching
