- This video we look at the M 1967 sleeping bag carrier, that was used by US troops during The war in Vietnam. We look at how it was used and a couple of possibilities of how it could have been used.
I didn't know this, I was a Army supply sergeant for years. Although we had the "Y" suspenders . not the "H". I have always loved the way the military stuff enter locked together. I'm more of the M1956 gear. Your vides are great.
Thank you for watching I’ll be making more videos very soon
Why are you more of a M1956 guy? Are you saying that in your experience it’s better than Alice? That wouldn’t be the first time I heard that.
@@Rokaize I’m just saying after serving for 26 years I preferred the 56 gear over the 67 ALCE because of comfort. Didn’t much care for the Gortex coat either. Many of us in the Army sewed a field jacket liner into wet weather jacket. It was much warmer.
@@MyRanger12 I see. Can’t imagine wearing a gortex coat without a liner. The navy issued one with a removable liner which could be warm alone. Probably one of the best pieces of uniform I know of. Still wear it 10 years later.
@@Rokaize most of the time we just wore the old style field jacket liner under our blouse. Instead of a bulky coat. But I was army. Retired in 2007 E-9.
Just picked up one. this video is the reason I pulled the trigger on one of these lol, I have the exact poncho as well and didn’t know it had its own carrier! Right away I went online and found someone selling them for cheap. I can’t resist Surplus
😁thanks for watching
How have I missed this channel for so long!!!! So glad I found you. Great video
Thank you very much I’m glad you found it,hopefully subscribe thanks for watching
Rubberized canvas and rubberized nylon was new redesigned equipment for Vietnam. Korea, WW2 was canvas stuff , it's all good for civilian gear camping, hiking etc. The M-56 suspenders are canvas and more comfortable when broken in than the nylon H harness
I always wondered about that loop. Anything is possible! Thanks again Web Gear Review!!!
Yes thank you very much for watching
You can go around the poncho more than once to snug it inside carrier. If you play with it, you can wrap staps across to other side buckle.
Thanks for watching
I used the M1967 suspenders & salvaged them to make some pads for my M1944 pat. 2 suspenders.. Fully loaded M1945 bag & cargo pack its 40 lbs. (this is using an original tent both halves which is 7lbs alone but I'm going to be using a two person marmot which is closer to 3 lbs)
Jzolt sounds sounds like quite a rig you get there, I used to carry the shelter halves and poles packing years ago myself
Love the stuff! Great gear I have a bunch when shtf
That’s great thanks for watching
At 8:20, what model buttpack is that? Thanks man, I’ve got a bunch of them and I always thought they were the m1967 model.
It is the second pattern M 1956 backpack known as the M 1961 backpack I have a video on it also
Do you know a good place to purchase a Vietnam poncho?
No not anymore there’s not very good surplus stores around anymore thanks for watching
@@WebGearReview so true, as a kid my favorite places in the world were good surplus stores, now they all have the same “Rothco” Chinese knockoffs.
Ebay is your best bet however, I do know some online surplus stores that have originals here is the list: Omahas surplus, Moore militaria, army navy sales, Baystate militaria, the war front. All those places have/sell 100% original Vietnam surplus stuff.
Not the sharpest tools in the shed😅😅😅
