A canvas bag hides many, MANY sins. And with War Two reenacting, you have duffel bags and OD laundry bags. While I am a Civil War reenactor, there's tricks and tips we all share... especially when we're doing our primary job of dealing with the public. And I'll take advice from anybody 😁 I've gotten a lot out of your series and the Handgranaten series on the German side. Kudos.

Ever wonder how WWII re-enacting came to be? The answer is tucked in the back of the WWIIHRS founder's book, A BRIDGE TO TIME, A Re-enactor's Journey by T.J. Sotoropolis. Watch his video, THE BIRTH OF WWII RENACTING & EARLY DAYS OF THE HRS! Watch for the Rat Farb cartoon @ 10:35. :)

You should do a video on the class a uniform (4 pocket jacket) For dress uniforms and how to assemble them, going over regulation and all of that, it's very important for people who start out in the hobby so they don't wear their insignias upside down lol.

I think getting “authentic” glasses are unnecessary in a reenacting setting as the average spectator would not care about it. Sure it’s inaccurate to wear modern glasses but I’d would not throw flak at them for having modern lenses as prescription glasses are expensive $250-300 to be exact and going the extra steps to have it custom fitted to lenses is too much hassle for whats essentially a cosmetic like prop grenades or the like. What’s worse is that most reenactors would just use regular glasses anyway in their everyday life even when they had glasses that’s already proven to be more durable in an outside environment. If you want to buy vintage style glasses for the sake of reenactment that’s on you, but for me I’ll stick with the glasses I have until it breaks or I go to the eye doctor again.

How does this system compare to a modern rucksack? Has anyone used both?
@nomadmarauder-dw9re5 ай бұрын
The haversack is more for moving to a bivouac site. Unpack, set up, and pack up to move to the next bivouac site. The realities of modern combat highlighted the shortcomings of the system. The 1944 system went into development in late 42 and was tested stateside for about a year. Approved in 1944. Issued Stateside first, since new troops were going overseas and M 28 gear was already in use there. The new gear had an actual backpack and a 2 bag system like the Marine Corps had used since 1940. Between any of this and a modern ruck? No comparison. TBH, the M 28 seems more versatile. I would have used some kind of bag inside it, especially for light loads.

They've gotten that bad 😞. They began going down hill not long after being sold in the early 90s to HH Brown and production moved to Martinsburg from Stoughton Mass. I've owned numerous pair since 83 when I was in the Army. My original set I got in 83 lasted through three resolings before finally wearing out in some areas. The brown versions were from the original first couple runs by Stoughton in the late 80s, I still have one set of those. If you're trying to find a great set, keep your eyes open in different platforms, the older red label Stoughton versions still pop up and reasonable prices. Cheers
