Iron PORTION. An Iron Ration is for your horse. Paint that Butterdose to match your helmet. It is an excellent copy (I have an original). Goose fat will go bad--must be Rendered goose fat. Also can use Ghee--rendered butter. Your Eßbesteck is a WWII pattern. WWI style is steel and snaps into your Kochgeschirr. Cleaning kits of any type should be contained in a bag. I'll send you some info on what goes in your uniform pockets. That is a WWII SWISS Zeltbahnzubehörtasche. Guess Who?
Hey, thanks for the feedback!
I've always seen it to referred to as an iron ration, so I'm sure it was an error in translation, thanks for clearing it up!
Good to know about the goose fat, and the Ghee-rendered butter as a substitute.
I actually completely forgot to mention my utensils were a WWII model, thats my bad. I believe I mentioned it in a previous video, but it completely slipped my mind this time.
Yea, I'm working on completely my tornister supplies, its my last hurdle to really tying my kit together.
The Zeltbahnzubehörtasche is indeed swiss, another thing I forgot to mention. Bought it off eBay for cheaper than a plain repro WWI style version would cost, hence why I havent gone about replacing it yet.
Pinning your comment for future viewers to see, as there's a lot of important info there.
As a German i can tell it's the eiserne ration(ww1/ww2), we don't make a difference for what it is meant, it could be everything
From food to fuel or ammunition
The Nva/ in the DDR(east Germany ) called it eiserne portion (iron portion )
I will collect German ww1 gear when I get more money one day, but for now I am researching uniform history. Good video. :)
So that explains why Tornisters looked extra THICC
Danke schon
About dental care of the time, from what I researched toothpaste DID exist during WW1. For my AEF toiletries kit, I have a reproduction box labeled “Colgate’s Ribbon Dental Cream” which hides a modern tube of toothpaste.
So I’m guessing what you meant is that the Germans used what was issued, which was dental powder. Because for my kit, Americans used a lot of mainstream brand products to get through the war, so a box of Colgate’s does fine.
ah yes I didn't mention that haha
Dental paste was still rather new so Germany used powder throughout the war (plus I dont think they could make any as the war progressed, plus dental powder is better imao haha)
Very nice Video thank u for uploading. It helped me a lot.
But i have one advice for, how u can attach the tent quarter and coat easily. After u roll them up, u simply tie them together with the packing/ coatstraps, and with the little strap (who is holded by the button) u attach the whole roll on the tornister.
Idk chief. Later on I may recommend some higher end boots. But I barely can afford them myself so I ain’t gonna say anything. But thanks for the video. I needed it.
The Hessen ones I have are of their older run, and are rather good quality. They are comfortable and extremely sturdy.
I've done several dozen events/airsoft days in them on all kinds of terrain with no issues.
That’s great actually. I have no problem with them. Keep them and don’t replace them then. But just for a recommendation. Lenderarnsenal is the top top notch boots for ww1 they make the m1866 Marschstiefel and I think it the m1914 or 16 low boots. They’re really expensive but the best out there.
Yup! I plan to get some lederarsenal boots when I have the cash haha
Howdy wolf! Uh, dunno if you still post or anything, may move this to a more recent upload to contact ya, but im curious of where to get those coffee tins? I've searched everywhere, and even looked for that "fritz barr" fella, but i get no results. Can ye help me?
Thanks man, this was very helpfull for me.
Would you let me know how to adjust tornisters strap. I don't know how to use quick release bolts.
Could I ask how much this bad boy once all packed up weigh ?
Can you do a video with a german ww1 bread bag🙂
Anybody know why german/swiss tornisters has cow fur? For soldier heating?
Can you pack a wool blanket in the Tornister? If so then where do you put it?
The wool blanket would actually be laid out instead of the greatcoat. There really isn’t the space to carry both, so soldiers would have to carry one or the other.
Often whichever one they didn’t have on them would be carried in the baggage train which followed the armies, although some men tossed the greatcoat and brought an extra blanket, especially in colder areas
@@Wolfof1918 ok thank you
What type of socks were used? Are they the same/similar to the WW2 ones?
There were no issued socks, and the WWII style socks and gloves are clearly incorrect for WWI. Knitted items would be from home, women's organisations making items for the war effort, and typical civilian items.
where can I get the cloth Taschentuch you used to cover the 1st part of the tornister
Where did you get the tornister pack?
Nestof militaria :)
Thanks
what straps did you replace on the tornister and how did you replace them?
Hi Wolf, What are the proper straps for an M1908 Kochgeschirr ?
Bro, you gotta invest in better microphone
Where did you get your pickelhaube
