@@bentleyhiben2979 that could be a cool idea, I’ll have to check that out.

@aydenwarrior9653 I ain’t got stuff for ww2 lol

@ u said u was going to make one

@aydenwarrior9653 did I?

@certifiedhistorynerdyes u said you were doing a medic kit

@aydenwarrior9653 oh yeah that was a while ago. As I’ve said in my recent videos it’s not one of my priorities at the moment. I probably won’t do it for a while.

I know where you live

@@HunterG-v3t so the gear is original, either from surplus storage or EBay, the ruck will be replaced with a new reproduction that’s coming out. And that’s really it lol. My fatigues are repros from Hessen antiques, Moores Militaria is another good place to get them and any Nam stuff ya need.

I have got 12 from Hessen in my cart😂

For the kit

Ok

@@torycsummers7328 I don’t shine them. I just had recently polished them, I use a cream based polish that doesn’t shine. I haven’t used them much since I polished them. But yes I agree, usually they getter dirty pretty quickly during event lol. I just don’t wanna keep them dirty so they last a long time.

Yeah I probably could’ve tightened it a bit more. It’s not a good repro either way I might be getting a better one soon

You do what you want, I'm just passing on a bit of knowledge i learned the hard way.

@@rustyshackleford9588 yeah I do agree though. I don’t use this kit much so I’m still figuring out where everything need to be

@@FrfrfrGrr true, but there really ain’t quality Nam equipment really don’t exist. And original is just better

@@Deltareenacting well where do you live? We’re a Houston/ College station Tx group

@ northwest Mississippi

@ ah, yeah well unless your able to come to Texas for reenactments I don’t think it could work, right now we mostly just have Texans in the group since we don’t travel out of state. Sorry man.

@ Texas isn’t a far drive for us especially Houston

@@Deltareenacting well we mostly do stuff on college station. I have a discord for my group. How much of a kit do you have?

@@soldierstudios7316 thanks man! Still needs some work

@@ClancyWoodard-yw6tg oh cool!

@@certifiedhistorynerd I mean don't get me wrong they had members from all over the country but a lot of them were fellow Texans

@ oh yeah sorry misunderstood the comment lol. Although most of the Recon Team was Indigenous members

@@certifiedhistorynerd yeah that's true they were montanyards and nungs

@@ClancyWoodard-yw6tg so the militia was drilled in mostly a translation from the French drill, some US drill as also used, Mexicans used French drill but the Texans were drilled by their own commanders not the Mexicans.

@@certifiedhistorynerd oh okay so it was really like a combination of various different schools of drill

@ kinda. If the officers were US trained then they would incorporate some US stuff but otherwise it was the French manual

@@certifiedhistorynerd Hi there! Just wanted to clarify, the Mexicans were using the Spanish drill from the 1810's but slightly modified. Most drill manuals of this period were derivative of the Prussian and French drills of the late 1700's so it can look very similar sometimes, it's easy to confuse them.

@ ah gotcha, thanks for the info!

Yeah but looks wise they ain’t that accurate, not horrible but you could get better. Moores has the best most accurate ones repro wise

@@ClancyWoodard-yw6tg yeah it’s really interesting, I’m a Texan as well, what part of Texas are ya from?

@@certifiedhistorynerd I live in Baytown which is going towards Mont belvieu and anahuac

@ oh sweet, I live on the other side of Houston in the Katy area. Have you ever been to the San Jacinto Battle ground?

@@certifiedhistorynerd I've been there before it's just been a long time because I grew up across the ferry in Highlands

@ cool! I haven’t reenacted there yet but do plan to

@@HarryCowl I have the helmet away a few months ago, I got a long time ago and now it’s not my problem lol

Yes that would be, but those jungle boots way to expensive and not really accurate.

@@certifiedhistorynerd Its 2024 where all the boot prices are more jacked up than in previous years. That rep you got in the video costed around the same, yet you say this, lol. Imo, I always prefer a better functional jungle boot rather than get tunnel visioned on the stuff. So, I'd just like to see them stacked up to the ones in the video. I hear they're the best from all the old vets I speak with over at the VFW.

@@Sam-Icy my mistake I was looking a at website that had them listed for $200. However as I said these boots aren't accurate, though the idea is cool I don't really feel like spending that much money for something I'm only gonna use once.

Yes I talk about why in the video

You don't see those get used really at all, but I do think they are better

The buttpack is not needed, I do have one but it was mostly ditched after 1967/68, Especially amongst standard infantry. Soldiers started primarily using rucksacks insteed, however you still do see some butpacks. However Rucks weren't always used and would be most likely be dropped when you came into contact with the enemy. but early war the buttpack is seen a lot.

@@certifiedhistorynerd cause I'm making a uniform that looks almost the exact same as that but without the scarf and I'm putting 4 ammo pouches I'm getting a butt pack for it

@@UNITEDSTATES1944 Alright! well depends what you're portraying to dictate if you have a buttpack or not. The scarf I have is for my specific battalion. now with the 4 ammo pouches I haven't really seen that. I do know that later on they got a little creative with web setups and I've seen more than two canteen pouches and one time 3 ammo pouches but 4 may be too much. If you have photo evidence then go ahead but from what it seems most soldiers, especially later on, didn't wanna carry a lot on their equipment and opted for things like bandoliers.

@@certifiedhistorynerd I was told soldiers would get to carry as much ammo as possible I was told some would carry 4 pouches

With bandoliers

Even reenactors have been infected? NOOO!!
