[@keithricketts4867]

I love this.. I have tons of military surplus and I have sworn by it amongst all the haters..!! Of course all the haters keep buying new gear every year or two because their ultra lightweight shit falls apart under stress, and 35 years later I still have all my original gear.. just saying..!!! Keep them coming Dave..!! Parts 3, 4, 5 ,6, 7, 8, 9, and 10..!!

[@keithheintzelman5642]

I'd love to see the more obscure items!

[@AndrewRunnion-cr5zs]

Please we need Part 3 and 4. Thank You.

[@richschwartz8004]

A big vote on part 3 and possibly more of you're willing. Thanks Dave. God bless and stay safe.

[@PeterLehman-il5ru]

I also vote YES on a part 3,4,5,..... as far as you can go. Love your videos Dave, keep them coming.

[@davidlee8551]

I vote for # 3. Thank you for your educated opinions.

[@marclucier2533]

Woodland sustainment pouches. Love them.

[@kdaberko6235]

Most definitely a part 3 and 4, I'm a late 90s thru 2016 Vet that has a collection of gear and surplus and a Cantabury follower!!! Love the videos Dave.

[@Stuart-er8qz]

Love my old alice pack. Three day camping trips, going to the shops or out with the kids absolutely perfect! Tried newer bags like the osprey bags nothing carries heavy loads or keeps your back from getting sweaty quite like it.ATB👍👍👍

[@JCole78]

The military mess kit is in my top 5 as well. I have one for each of my family of 5 for camping and what not. A couple of weeks ago my church took all of the teenage young men on a week long camp out, and one of the requirements was to bring your own mess kit. I let one of them borrow one of ours since he didn’t have a mess kit, and he absolutely loved it compared to the Boy Scout style kits that everyone else was using. For those that don’t know there’s an old GI trick where you cradle the lid on the handle with the ring securing it in place in essence turning it into a 3 compartment dining tray.

[@jakeells66]

A cool thing with having that adapter is if you had a molle pouch for your dirty water container, you could attach it to the side of your backpack (like the scout pack) upside down and let it drip right into your canteen in your side pocket while you're walking

[@pastormike541]

Thank you for the new videos ! A modification that I have done to my Sustainment Pouches is to use a seam ripper to gently remove the plastic D-Rings from the sides and then slip them over the top two Molle straps and either just snap the strap closed or then just stitch the flat part of the ring to the bag material at the top with the strap still inside of it providing support . This then keeps the bag from flipping over when you attach a common utility-2qt canteen type of strap to it when when the rings are on the sides and the bag gets top heavy . It turns the whole thing into a more useful musset type bag that you can either use independently for gathering goodies , a stand alone day hiker and still attach to a pack . Hahahahaha I had to edit this post as I just watched your 1st video and saw what you did to your 1-qt canteen pouch , same thing ! 😂

[@gerardmartyn7596]

I love surplus gear. Alice, assault pack, sustainment pouch, MMS, canteen pouch, all purchased in the last year. Thank you for another great video 😊

[@ClarenceCochran-ne7du]

I use a Sustainment Pouch as a Mini Ruck on my Plate Carrier. I can use it to carry extra Magazines, or anything else I want to keep with me, and even use it as a 24 hour Patrol kit. One nice thing, is they're usually one of the least expensive surplus items you can find. So I bought several when I got them.

[@robertstimens7333]

I say yes to keeping these videos going.

[@bobcatarizona4840]

Yes to more knowledge. I appreciate you taking the time to show the different gear that is available.

[@robdavidson4945]

I'm looking forward to a part 3 & 4. Thanks for your time and efforts.

[@psykotedy4590]

I'd love to hear about more stuff, even if it's more difficult to find. You never know when you might happen upon something in a surplus shop, so having an idea of what to have an eye out for would be tremendously helpful. Thank you for everything you share!!!

[@kiltedjoe]

GENIUS on the adapter for the 2 quart canteen!

[@jesuslovesme9138]

Please keep this series going Dave!! Love it!!

[@journeyman7189]

Great list again Dave. Those 2qt canteens are awesome. I'm up for a part 3 and 4 for sure. Nate

[@qrixas]

Yes, for all parts going forward, I actually have the 1965 pocketknife and very proud of it. it was my first knife before i even got into the Cub scouts.

[@branch_preparedness]

I second parts 3 and 4. Even if unobtainable, it's beneficial to learn about these items.

[@cb9869]

Thank you for your videos. I've been watching for years... Please continue to keep making them.

[@emmadrinkall9078]

Thanks for more informative video Dave. Love them, and so did my Dad. Picked up an East German Assault pack yesterday for a deal - strichtarn pack for my landrover kit 👍

[@jaybakata5566]

Might as well do the entire series. Sad that we can't get the gear, but learning is valuable in itself. Perhaps we can find something modern that is available as a replacement?

[@saritaford3667]

Thanks for showing us even more possibilities of gear, all while looking out for our pocketbooks.

[@glennhunt9650]

PLEASE PLEASE by all means....keep making as many military surplus videos as possible!!!👍🏽

[@adkvoyageur]

Dave…as an instructor you know the power of information. The power we get is when your information, is given in its entirety. I vote for Part 4.

[@HuntCreekBushcraft]

Yes, please on the additional videos. Great stuff here! Keep it coming and we’ll keep watching.

[@michaelwaller7365]

I picked up two of the 3 bag sleep systems & other surplus items from a Veteran's Stand Down, when I was homeless in Montana. They're fantastic.

[@shanelawson9490]

Dave, thank you for the videos. I love surplus gear and I am a collector as well. I would love to see a part 3 to this series.

[@KHarper-b5p]

I enjoy them very much. Keep them coming.

[@commonsensepatriot9450]

Great advice! I have most of those in my kit. Thanks Dave!

[@ianhepburn6555]

Thank you Sit for some more valuable content. Cheers from Canada

[@lennieblue]

When I was a kid, my dad had a metal canteen (may have been 1 qt) and it was covered by green canvas . The water tasted so good and cool from that canteen. I don't know for sure but he may have gotten while he was in the Air Force. Wish I had that canteen!

[@williamolliges2622]

Couple of notes. The sustainment pouches readily attach to the sides of a medium Alice Pack. The Molle II Buttpack also holds precisely one military poncho and liner. I use the chemical suit bags to carry a light weight sleeping bag which I supplement with the poncho liner whenever I find myself camping out of a backpack.

[@alanrice39]

Military surplus is my favorite and I have lots of it. Have three of those military Molly waist packs. Get them at the big flea market for 15$, can’t beat that! Really enjoying these military surplus videos, thanks Dave, looking forward to the next one

[@jasonvant7714]

Yes Dave, please do the hard to find/might be gone surplus stuff!

[@P.Trim69]

Dave ur the bonus. Ur awesome.

[@joshuabomar6974]

Great video series Dave. I enjoy using & collecting vintage military gear. It's made to last & still affordable. I agree with you , It's getting harder to find genuine surplus items. I'd like to see a video of the large Alice pack & a four day cold weather load out. Thanks D.

[@brushbum7508]

Good Evening Dave ! You can also fit a complete Improved Combat Shelter in the waist pack. Minus the poles & stakes, put in Pack. TAKE CARE..

[@rat1knives771]

Yes absolutely a part 3 I am a very big advocate of military surplus. In my opinion there is no better gear than that it's tried a true and battle tested gear.. I'd say it's getting really hard to find the woodland camo in surplus then it is in ACU or coyote brown and people want ridiculous prices for the gear...I have 3 Alice packs 2 in OD green and one in woodland but it's a radio pack where the top lid splits about a 1/4 of the way up the lid for an antenna and the Alice pack is my big out bag that lives in my car. Thanks Dave for the informative video and yes to part 3, 4 and 5 lol. nice job

[@americanvindictashow]

Love this must have a part 3. I put on a mountain warfare course three weeks or so ago. I used the old Alice pack, my 2 - 2 quart canteens, some old m81 woodland tops and an old tiger stripe top. Our old pants suck compared to other stuff out there. So, I use Magellan’s super light weight multi stretch pants that are less than $30 from Academy. Literally, I threw away all of my other pants and blue jeans, and replaced them with these pants. The crotch blows out but is easily resown. Between those, my Vertx pants, and my Cryes…that’s all I use. I will be trying to some other brands, but for now that’s all I use. Dave, you actually inspired me to think like a 1800s frontier’s man and mesh that with my years in the Marine Corps, contracting and Police experience. My buddy is an avid ultra light back packer and did the AT and other places, I think he said he has 6,000 plus recorded miles from west coast and east coast mountain ranges and trails. So we’re trying to find a way to be a light infantryman again but not lose our modern tactical gear. Great videos brother, God be with you

[@charlesnelson2649]

Part 3 and 4 will look forward to seeing more of your videos thank you

[@Wolfram762]

Absolutely down for a part 3, and however many more you can do after that Dave!!

[@Mk-xf1ov]

Thanks for the Great video Dave. I vote for as many videos as you would like to share about military surplus gear. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@steinerk9]

Definitely a part 3 and 4! Keep them coming

[@marklange8502]

Keep bringing brother!

[@darrellh1840]

Thanks Dave! Been loving mil surp since the late 70s. I would love to see parts 3 &. 4.

[@davidwright1903]

Love to hear more about even the harder to get gear.

[@arnoud200able]

keep op the good work i love this info what you are sharring whit us.

[@73nova]

Excellent idea lists. Very helpful, do have a suggestion.... I added molle 2 shoulder and waist belt to my Alice frame.

[@theamazingfreak]

Great video Dave, and a big yes to parts 3 and 4 from me. Thanks.

[@walterjriddle]

Yes part three. I love seeing the gear in hand because some I'm not familiar with and really can't picture it dimension wise

[@brucemattes5015]

Excellent video and I really like how you think outside of the box. There's absolutely no reason that Sawyer, MSR, and the other major manufacturers of handheld, portable, backpacking water filtration/purification devices shouldn't have various adapters available for sale that fit all the common military canteens and commercial water bottles/canteens in use for backpacking, ultra-light hiking, bushcraft, survival, and SHTF scenarios. That none of these companies has such adapters for sale just shows how short-sighted they are as well as how parochial their thinking processes are. Nearly every company in the outdoors space wants to sell *ONLY* proprietary equipment with no abilities to mate up with anyone else's gear.

[@kiltedjoe]

Definitely do parts 3 and 4!

[@jasongarling20]

Absolutely loved to see the part 3 and 4. Love to see all of your .... everything....! Wait!!!! That didn't come out right! 😅😅😂😂😂 you know what I meant!😂😂😂😂😂

[@MadDogSurvival]

Excellent as always Sir!🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@chriskinsey8605]

Love this series! My kit is primarily surplus items.

[@dfostman6014]

I have seen "softer" 1 quart canteens. They would allow you you to squish the air out and prevent sloshing, but they were made out of material much heavier than the 2 quarts. The bottom of the canteen is about as solid as a normal 1 quart canteen. Mine is marked on the bottom, 2 US 2002 H.T.F. with the usual For Water Only, etc, etc on the front. I've haven't seen many of them. There is also a wide mouth version of the 1 quart that takes standard Nalgege caps. Apparently a mostly USMC cold weather item ,also a scarce item to find. The old Viet Nam era 5 quarts bladders are still out there, new in the box. Great series, grab the good stuff when you can!

[@Rob-ji7fx]

I always use a large ALICE ruck, over the years I have really come to love the frame, after staying long periods of time at a winter campsite (trapping season) in the mountains firewood supply gets further from camp while trying to establish a wood pile for the whole month. The ALICE frame, combined with a pair of M1945 suspenders helps freight the wood back to be piled high and dry for the tent stove.

[@Old-man-of-the-forrest]

Good morning Dave, great videos on military gear. Definitely yes on making videos 3 and 4. I am the happy owner of a good deal of military gear but always looking for more. The 2 quart canteen has always been one of my favorite means to carry water and rest my head on. I've eaten many meals out of my GI mess kit. I thank you for the new ideas for ways to use this and other gears. You are very knowledgeable and an excellent presenter.

[@JWoodcock]

I'm a million miles from being as prepared as you Dave. Just wanted to say how much I've been loving the Sawyer filter, especially this summer with how I've used it to travel way lighter. The perfect, flexible filter system, if you ask me. I'm going to look into that canteen.

[@Briathos1]

More, Dave. More.

[@tomconway8881]

No surprise another great video. Thanks

[@seanzeringue1327]

Love the series! Keep it going with part 3 and 4

[@cornelias9893]

I must give a big shout out to the British Army reversible softie jacket and trousers. A must buy if you can get your hands on them 😊

[@ostekuste3646]

My favorite pack getting some love! Another favorite piece of surplus gear for me would be the old pilots flight bag. I’ve got several, and you can store so much gear in them!

[@esincl52]

Yes, make part three and four!!!!

[@jason5x99]

Love the videos Dave keep it coming buddy

[@brandondavis8005]

I got one of those 2Qt. canteens from the surplus store years ago just as a water source for my morning walks. Still have it, easily one of the best investments I've ever made. Pouch in lined, has a strap and tablets pouch, plus you can attach it to anything with ALICE clips or MOLLE straps.

[@michaelmerrick5472]

👍 Part 3&4. ❤ Military gear and your advice.

[@WilliamsWanderlust]

Roger that! Thank you and yessir Part 3, please 🙏🏽 🫡

[@Alaska610ish]

Great video! I use a lot of that gear still, so good to know I’m not alone. Would love to see part 3.

[@jeffrichards5106]

Hi Dave, I vote yes also on more of these videos. Thank you.

[@cypher6938]

I love this series! Pt 3!

[@kendallwilkerson1231]

yes would love to see more

[@jjlumpkin]

Great info Dave, I would love parts 3 & 4 because surplus suits my checkbook.

[@markrobinson2849]

Thanks Dave, keep the series going.

[@arnoud200able]

thank you dave.

[@Mrgoofyoops]

I would appreciate as many of this type of video as you can produce! I own some surplus, but almost all of these would be a great addition to my kit.

[@Mugwumps107]

Great content, very interesting. Fun too. I love good surplus

[@jakemelgar7591]

I think it’s a great idea more information is always a plus

[@shawndain9606]

More parts please. Love these.

[@EphemeralRage]

Love these vids! Really get you thinking!

[@DavidWendland-qp7jw]

We appreciate you!

[@RAINSMAN79]

I used my mmss during the winter storm and blackout that Texas had several years ago. Never thought I’d need it to sleep in my house. Kept me warm

[@roypaulcarter4654]

Love it. Please make part three and four.

[@papaschuette]

Hey Brother. It's hard to beat Military surplus gear. I own quite a bit myself. I am gonna get a sleep system again soon. I have a large Alice pack and a medium Alice pack, both are rigged out in the "Hellcat" modification with the MOLLE shoulder straps and waist belt. They definitely weren't as comfortable back in the late 80's when I was in the Marines. Thanks for going through this gear. Reminds me of the things that I need to get again.

[@jonathanmahoney848]

Yes to part 3. Thank you.

[@bewbsplox5289]

Yes on part 3 because if I do see something obscure I want to know what it is I'm looking at so I don't pass it up. Even if I never see them I still enjoy the history lesson

[@3adscout826]

Dave, Would absolutely vote for a part 3. When growing up I always bought my camping gear at the surplus store cause it was cheap but indestructible. One of the pieces I wish I would have kept was one of the old wool sleeping bag liners. Also regarding the old “butt-packs” there was a set of “H” suspenders that allowed you to attach a butt-pack to the cross piece of the “H”. You could still put one down low too.

[@DwayneAdams-o5d]

Thank you. I already have some of these things. I would love to have 3 or 4 more episodes on this.

[@marktsunokai5889]

I have 2 of the one quart collapsing canteen. Not sure it was G.I. issue? I bought it commercially in the late 90's. I was studying it for feasibility with the M1 NBC Connector for use with the M40 series Protective Mask.

[@zoltannagy2920]

Bring it Dave! Great channel Sir!
