What happened to this series? Why the sudden stop? It's great!

[@derrickstorm6976]

​@@MatthewHeraghty could it be they're now having to resort to selling their collections?

[@MatthewHeraghty]

@@derrickstorm6976 I was thinking that might be the case, but it was only 3 videos in the series

[@denstar5928]

Why

[@KevinBelhor]

I love how you do these videos, narrating in character. It's so unique. This should be getting a lot more views.

[@Jimmyjohnsubs444]

Yea

[@Vietnam_SpeakingTrees]

It is pretty unique he has good charisma and personality

[@norsepnw3578]

Needs more recognition

[@magnusosmond1835]

It's very interesting 😂

[@potatopanter3755]

The tone difference between these videos is truly amazing, you're an amazing actor

[@TheRealWilliamShaw]

Liked the presentation of the video. Hope to see more like it from you

[@cliffordollie-aww1andww2pe29]

Thank you

[@ritchhistory1888]

Yeah this is great! It’s always hard to determine what personal items to bring when reenacting. I love seeing WWII reenacting content, especially as high quality as this. Keep up the great work! “Keep that smile pearly white!”

[@rzarco01]

Really great presentation - consistent with the British and German versions. Accents and slang seem about just right for the period! Great job with these videos!

[@Ihadthismate]

Just watched all your videos. Amazing stuff mate. You nail all the accents and idiosyncrasies of the time. Love it

[@stevengoodloe3893]

I've watched all three WWII soldier's personal kit videos on this channel. The commonalities across the three different kits is not terribly surprising. All three soldiers were facing similar hardships and privation, and had limited carrying capacity on their persons. Even today, a soldier's personal kit would look very similar. I carried a lot of the same stuff in Iraq and Afghanistan. Different wars in different times, of course. But an Infantryman's basic kit has changed very little.

[@vex_mistaken]

man his character is on point! the laugh just ties it all together as some freshly graduated boston kid.

[@bbface21]

Sounds like half-Boston and half-Brooklyn.

[@whos-the-stiff]

Just found this channel and I'm loving the concept of going through the gear in character. I'm a reenactor too, but my accent needs work.

[@SkipRizzBandit]

I like how you keep extra items in your mess kit I'm doing that

[@Vondors]

I miss the WW2 german equipment video, can you unprivate it

[@tomasmazura-to7zx]

Fr👍

[@The_Poster_of_Cringe]

You make great videos. I hope you'll pick that channel back and gib us more reviews like this one and others. Also, thanks for making them. They're great time

[@idrinkbbs]

Thank you for making this

[@cliffordollie-aww1andww2pe29]

Thanks for watching

[@donaldpeterson4742]

I always wondered what they kept in their packs. Thanks for the well done info! Please keep making more of these.

[@tristinkirby]

I absolutely love how you stay in character

[@johnydsmithson6834]

F'n beautiful example mate. This is the best video on YT.

[@Billy_yank1865]

hold the phone how the hell would a soldier in the 369th go to paris if the 369th was in the pacific ha ha ha just busting chops great video though love it

[@bagrationvlad9348]

In the 1940s, these items were pretty modern comparing to Brtish, German or Soviet ones

[@Gawnze1945]

I’m telling Uncle Sam about the chocolate!😅😂

[@callofdutycrazy9649]

Please do more videos please. I love them and I think you should do more.

[@JayM409]

'And British Money, however that works.' It's really simple, Mate. 240 pence to a pound, also called a sovereign. 20 Bob (shillings) to a pound. A Bob is 12 pence. 24 pence is a 2 Bob Bob bit, 30 pence is half a crown, also called a half dollar. 60 pence, is 5 shillings, also called crown or a dollar. Ten shillings is 120 pence, and is called a half sovereign. Half a shilling (six-pense) is called a tanner, 3 pence is a joey, one pence is a copper, half a penny is a Ha'penny, and 1/4 penny is a farthing. If you are the upstairs type, you use a Gentleman's pound, which is 21 shillings (256 pence).

[@edgaraquino2324]

Nice!😊

[@Ivayla.p]

This is so underrated these should be getting way mor3 attention

[@vonsopas]

Very on point characterization! I really enjoyed this one, you sound like Packie from GTA lol. Cheers!

[@krisjohnson589]

dude these are awesome!

[@kattegatcitychamberofcomme311]

We used to get Charms in the MREs in the 80s.

[@mikearmstrong8483]

A camera and film. A wallet with show tickets. A sewing kit he hasn't used, and given the US supply chain a replacement shirt or trousers shouldn't be hard to get. Real handy stuff, huh? What about carrying spare socks? Foot powder? What about a mention of the entrenching tool? A blanket, pancho, or shelter half? The German kit seemed more practical, with mainly a mess kit, shaving kit, spare socks, and spare iron ration.

[@damonswanson3156]

I’m hearing some Walken in here!🪖🇺🇸😎

[@KT_survival]

That was awesome! I would do a lot to have old Luckies and Camels. Legendary sh.t

[@stoneblue1795]

Well portrayed, this was good.

[@somedudeinminnesota]

These videos are great.

[@Gb_Ed]

I could talk to this guy about ww2 forever

[@travisreed1730]

It's interesting to see someone taking the German flag as a souvenir. I didn't think that anyone took flags as souvenirs, except the Japanese Rising Sun.

[@theopinion9452]

Many were taken,I've seen some.

[@swartzfarms3962]

Make a Korean war one and Vietnam War please also great video

[@scottdunkirk8198]

On your razor take the bottom of the part that holds the blade and flip it so you can carry a blade in the razor

It’s been two years please uploaded again❤

[@lucyrulesalot2843]

I love how you speak like you where in the war

[@idrinkbbs]

I was wondering. Can you make an airborne one for this?

[@valles_marineris8955]

Well done buddy

I think I met you in a pizza place about a month ago. I was wearing a green uniform like a vietnam war one

[@littlejoe1413]

you forgot the german language guide it helped the american soldiers in ww2 to speak to the germans i reckon all of the soldiers had one i’m not sure but some soldiers had one

[@MurderMysteryProOfficeal]

ON SALE!

[@paulisaperson0516]

Where do you get that vintage food?

[@quacked7891]

1:06 so did American soldiers have a spare first aid kit for after they use the one in their pouch on their belt? Or does he just have his in his haversack.

[@slipknotboiyo3992]

What model of the camera and the name?

[@user-jg1ij4hu9q]

0:48 "Everybody smokes, everybody wants these" Not me... Yet.

[@samnuckolls4166]

Well done.

[@ashameroule9110]

Camera: "If I make it to paris-" 😅 Letter: "-my newborn son-" 😮 Flag: "-the sniper opened up on us-" ... Damn, clicked for history, got a great performance to boot.

[@moorshound3243]

How come the comments for the German video were turned off?

[@LibertarianLibrarian1776]

No way those Hershey bars make it to France un eaten 😂

[@nimitz1739]

This is awesome. I like the way it was done. But is far from packing light. That thing is packed! Lol

[@NikonRules303]

MORE VIDEOS!!!!!!

[@beersoflegends]

Wow !

[@pamelajessup7931]

This kit looks awkward and heavy compared to the British. Even the way it opens up instead of just being a bag looks bad. The shovel is cool though, did every GI have one?

[@juliantheapostate8295]

That's an entrenching tool

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

Wonder what happened to these two? It's always the same,you really enjoy and appreciate someones work making great vids,then ,💥 they disappear. Well, I hope they fare well.

[@Joe.Rogan.]

My kids love to play soldier too.

[@XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX981]

Nice set up, but not the razor. I suggest a pre-war or US issue Gillette period Tech, on Ebay, even a 60's Tech would look more period authentic.

[@simongee8928]

Never understand why folk who do these otherwise excellent videos insist on holding the camera in one hand thus making holding and showing the the items awkward. Get a camera mount - !

[@GEKWINS]

Where’s the lifted Pervitin?

[@theromanorder]

Why would soldiers at the front carry civilian id? If there captured thell have a problem

[@Landser]

this is amazing lol

[@stewartmcminn7773]

Got brass knuckles?

[@maverickfox4102]

I got the British Wash Roll.

[@rdr2v1nce7]

You got no black crackle?

[@alexfogg381]

A possible reason is that soldiers tend to keep lighters in their pockets. (Not to be RUDE.) He probably didn't have one on hand to show.

[@rdr2v1nce7]

@@alexfogg381 ah thanks. I did not know that

[@jason60chev]

No prophylactics?

[@thurin84]

what? no latrine tickets? always gotta have some toilet paper with you. keep it nice and dry in your mess kit.

[@easycafe6963]

Lucky strike is best

[@dirtyscoundrel2013]

No Actual rations?

[@quacked7891]

Those were more commonly kept in pockets for quick use. Also it seems that this guy is at camp so he’s probably having fresh rations and may have eaten all of his K rations already.

[@filmizm]

What is the German flag doing there ?

[@alexfogg381]

It is meant to be a souvenir taken by said " American G.I." the practice of taking souvenirs was common during ww2, even my grandfather brought a few things home from the Pacific during his time in the US Navy during ww2. NO Samurai swords.
