As I learned from Band of Brothers, and as applied during my time in the Scouts: "You need 4 extra pairs of socks MINIMUM. Hands, feet, neck, balls, extra socks warm em all

[@AJHart-eg1ys]

Maybe the biggest threat is the fact that there is a LOT of down time in the field. You can go pretty minimal if you're constantly moving. The extreme cold weather gear is mostly for the other 95% of the time you're not really moving.

Love those M-65 fishtail arctic parkas

[@crabtrap]

M-51 fishtail. the M-65 is a feild jacket

[@gaeleleon]

The m-65 parka has a removable hood and a different liner and is always faux-fur

[@crabtrap]

@@gaeleleon i have both. M-65 liner will fit a m-51 but not viceversa. The hoods are the same if they are same era. They stopped the wolf fur early 60's. All the hoods were synth white fur after

[@G55-j9z]

@@crabtrap Yep so many folks get that wrong. I Prefer the N-3B's they are warmer, Alpha still makes them to the exact Mil Spec although they are made overseas they are still worth having, In this Video they are wearing M-51's and N-3B's.

[@crabtrap]

@@G55-j9z all the kids had N3's in the 70's. I remember them having a blaze orange liner for pilot rescue?

[@Jr-qo4ls]

I remember using all this gear. Kept me warm in some miserable places.

[@goodredman]

Hey, a pro tactical tip for all you guys that got the bit about going to the latrine. If you feel the urge in the fart sack, don’t get your canteen and your piss bottle confused when you wake up, thirsty!

[@redtap5426]

2nd, Infantry Division in Korea is NO joke in the field. Those kid's from Florida were hating life 😂😂

Underrated Video

[@TheBlues088]

Extremely interesting.

[@tiagobraga1480]

Yes principal skinner

[@reallyhappenings5597]

groovy upbeat funky music

[@Sduell60]

Interesting how they give you the Wind Chill chart temp... "On a calm day". What happened to the wind?

[@rubbercheck72]

I wonder if this was filmed around Ft. Wainwright.

[@rezarezaian3267]

Awesome video

[@Crabby303]

The intro sounds like the theme to some sleazy Italian cannibal film

[@edmondokupie]

Wenn ich da ein Furz lass in der Kälte...friert er ein oder 🤔 😅 Ich liebe die guten alten Videos 👍🏼

[@goodredman]

Can’t see the forest for the trees, nor smell the fart for the breeze!🎉 that’s what I say

[@redtap5426]

Don't you learn English?

[@Brandtalones]

It seems interesting to me that no mention is made of the use of warm water in the treatment of frostbite. Just a "hold-on-and-wait" attitude... Not good...

[@eddievhfan1984]

It can be useful for treatment, yes, but if you don't watch the temperature and don't change the water frequently, you can end up causing more damage from excessively hot water or immersion dangers if the tissue's already damaged from freezing. My understanding is that most frostbite/hypothermia treatments rely on using the body heat of someone else (if available) to carefully bring the temperatures back up without risk of further damage.

go slow. a surge of cold blood back to the heart can be lethal.

[@P.J.Thompson]

Why just one sock? I always worn 2 in the arctic and everyone I know does the same

[@ddddddd5425]

yeah those socks look thin af too. That part confused me. I suppose they don't want people cutting off circulation to their feet, but still that sock looked wayyyy too thin.

[@P.J.Thompson]

@ddddddd5425 i know for a fact that they used to issue foot wraps to be worn loosely on top of the socks in the winter wars. Maybe the US army just didn't know about that. You could right about cutting blood circulation but I wear a loose wool sock and I've never had a problem. Some of my friends wear even 3 socks

[@Brian-bd5vb]

1 pair of socks to prevent sweating. To prevent trench foot and to allow a layer of air invetween the layers.

[@easygroove]

ahahha, forget about shaving

[@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917]

Yea not in the army. Grooming standards. Unless you're Sikh or something.

[@eddievhfan1984]

Well, unless you like ice forming on your facial hair...

[@goodredman]

Guys, from Northern Minnesota would’ve had to shave their legs they would’ve been out there in shorts 😂

FROZEN COLD

[@bastulainen]

why is the tent fabric so loose?

[@astrumdeus7098]

I give up...why?

[@bastulainen]

@@astrumdeus7098 the tighter it is the less snow accumulation there'll be

[@orionoutdoorsandworkshop5617]

them boys should have gotten a haircut before going into the field. unless the army lets your hair grow in cold climates. i never did like those bunny boots. my feet were always wet/damp feeling. i did love the muk-luks though. get extra felts and bottom felts oh ya.
