Hello! Thanks! What, really?🤯 The swedish ones became super rare and expensive in Germany! Oh man, when i will visit sweden (hopefully very soon) i will Check some surplus Stores for Sure😍 Thanks for your information! Best regards, GR 🤘🏻
Thank you for such a good video. Here in the UK we used the hooded poncho before going over to the basha shelter, and i have always wondered how the poncho was made from a triangular Zeltbarn. Now I know. Thanks
Good video.. You're a natural! Fun Fact#1 Egypt had a version that was oak on one side and desert tarn on the other. Its identical in shape and size as well...Fun Fact#2 they also made a combat uniform reversible in the same patterns...
Thanks! Wow, that are some great Infos!!! I heard of it, that some dessert states used sumpftarn as Well, but i didnt know about your two fun facts, thanks!!! 🤩🤩🤩
During the days of US OD uniforms the US produced a sumpftarn. I found a set at the second hand store here in Alaska. Ill email you some pictures..@@germanredneck9019
Hello survivalcommano, 31 because of it came into service in 1931 or 32, and the original name was "Buntarbendruck 31" - colorful print 31. Also it was called "Heeressplittermuster 31" -Armysplinterpattern 31. Splitter is German for splinter. Like the Sharp Edge pieces that come when Glas brakes... The pattern has the Brown and Green sharp edge Splinters - "Splitter"... I guess thats why! I Hope you know what i try to say! Greetings, GR 🤘🏻
This is Sick, I’ve been using a modern Flecktarn shelter half when I go camping recently, been eyeing getting one or two these so my friends and I can make tents and carry our shelter way easier. Thanks for not just a slight history lesson but actually demonstrating how it works too, we need more videos like yours!
Thank you very much, what a nice compliment! 👍🏼 I am glad you liked it! Of course i know the flecktarn shelter halfes! We used them in the Army and i still have one. Two of them make a good two person tent! Cool that you use one 👍🏼 Untill next time, GR 🤙🏼
For Sure modern and old has its pros and cons! Modern is lightweight but you have to be carefully with fire, old is more fire resistent but heavy... And so on. The Most important thing is to have Something with you when you Go Out, even If its a garbage bag 😉 Have a nice Weekend, GR 🤙🏻
Nice piece of gear. Looks handy with out being bulky. Only thing, your cammo needs to break up that straight line. Any idea whe to get these? Edit: Amazon has them.
Thanks man! ☺️ I agree, its a very good item to carry. Yes, the straight line is always the weak point, even If you have the best camo pattern. In the Video i Talk about and try to solve that Problem a Bit at 08:40 with some natural materials. Best regards, GR 🤙🏻
The color was green forest, we use it more like a tent, every soldier had half part, and we attache them together with metallic buttons. Was 1978. You make excellent presentations, my best regards, from Marathon battlefield.
Thank you VERY MUCH for your informations AND the compliment! I really appreciate it! Have a nice evening and best regards Back from northern Germany, GR 🤙🏻

Hey GRNeck, Watching from Sydney Australia. Really insightful video thankyou. Had not heard of this utility before. Does one button with the other, or do you just overlap when using more than one? I camp with the Australian Army hoochie which is single which buttons to your buddies’ to make bigger shelters. Thanks for your video.

It's a very good for a multi-purpose cover to make a tent better than the USGI shelter half which is heavy and stinky. I only carried two light weight ponchos when I was in the US Army as an infantryman, one to cover me and the other to cover my ruck sack. Very interesting to see it used out in the field and the camouflage pattern is very effective. Now I just have the East German Zeltbahn which I haven't used yet. I saw a guy on one video use bees wax to water proof the Zeltbahn and melting it and spreading it with a blow dryer.
Hello and thanks for the comment! The Most important thing is, that you HAVE Something when you Go out 😉 then there are better and Not so good Options, i agree. Yeah, using beeswax and a blower is a very oldschool way of getting things waterproof and it works! There are some other recipes out there with Terpentine and other ingridients. Have a nice Weekend, GR
@@germanredneck9019 yes. I was going to get some pure bees wax to waterproof my NVA Zeltbahn but I would like to know how you would water proof your own Zeltbahn?
Sry for the late reply. I know three Methods: 1. The oldschool variant: Get beeswax warmed up to make it liquid. Pour in some Terpentine and maybe other stuff. Let it cool down. Spread it on the zeltbahn. Use hair blower Go get it in the zeltbahn. Pro: makes the zeltbahn very waterproof! Contra: colours will get much darker, Zeltbahn Will get very stiff. 2. Impregnation Spray: Simply Spray it in the zeltbahn and let it dry. Tipp: but the Zeltbahn in a garbage bag and close it tight for 24 hours. Then the impregnation will Go much deeper in! Pro: fast apply, No much effort and cheap. Contra: wount Held Up Long Time. 3. Liquid impregnation: Get some liquid impregnation thats Not in a Spray can. Read instructions on the bottle. Pour the stuff in a bucket, fill Up with water and put Zeltbahn in. Hang it Up and let it dry. Pro: No aerosoles will be breathed in, works fine. Contra: ??? I did it once and it worked. I would def try method 3 or 2. Hope it will Help. All the best, Your GR 🤙🏼
Tolles Video und danke, dass du solche historischen Details vorm Vergessen bewahrst! Aus welchem Stoff war die Zeltbahn und war sie gewachst bzw. wie wasserdicht war sie überhaupt?
Vielen Dank für Deinen Kommentar und das Lob☺️ Hergestellt aus Baumwolle. Ich glaube Maco Stoff oder so ähnlich wurde er genannt und er wurde mit einem bestimmten Mittel imprägniert auf dessen Namen ich jetzt gerade leider nicht komme! Durch die Imprägnierung war sie gut wasserdicht. Sollte mal die Imprägnierung abgerieben sein, hat sich der Maco Stoff mit Wasser vollgesaugt und kein weiteres Wasser durchgelassen. Irgendwann waren sie sicherlich auch mal durch. Oder hatten Löcher... Also kein Allheilmittel aber sicherlich eine gute Sache. Ich habe sie auch immer dabei wenn ich rausgehe. Entweder die Repro Eichentarn oder jetzt neuerdings eine originale in Splittertarn. Ich mag die Dinger!
@@germanredneck9019 Wow, vielen Dank! Anmerkung: Persistol war eine Markenbezeichnung für eine ganze Reihe von Imprägnierungsmitteln der Firma BASF, die teilweise auf Stearate(Wachs) aufbauten. Wenn es interessiert, siehe: "Spezial- und Hochveredlungsverfahren der Textilien aus Zellulose von Dr. Franz Weiss Springer Verlag 1951"

Why did they call pattern 31 ''Splinter pattern'' ? Always wondered about the origin of that name.
Hello survivalcommano, 31 because of it came into service in 1931 or 32, and the original name was "Buntarbendruck 31" - colorful print 31. Also it was called "Heeressplittermuster 31" -Armysplinterpattern 31.

Better than nothing , like the Soviet version . I think I will still stay with a modern tarp varient . But for the time , it was not bad .
For Sure modern and old has its pros and cons!
Modern is lightweight but you have to be carefully with fire, old is more fire resistent but heavy...
And so on.

Yep , like many , I learned the hard way . Then had at least something with me going out . @@germanredneck9019
These are crazy expensive on eBay.
Yes they are... I think the price was the half 10 years ago...
Seems like it could be the inspiration for the us army poncho , pretty cool
Possible!
