Royal Marines Commando | Sleeping Bag from 1967

Hello everyone, welcome to the channel! I have quite a few new people on here recently so I hope that I find you all well! 😊
I hope you enjoy this tiny insight into life as a Commando in the 1960s! I had quite a lot of fun pulling this one together. I've used the sleeping bad in all types of scenarios over the years, from festivals in the sun to Snowdon in the winter where it performs brilliantly.
Thanks for watching and see you next time!

U should get the liner that popes in & it will keep it cleaner

[@EdwardHurst2323]

Hey u can get the button in sheet it’s made of nylon and keeps the inside clean. Iv found u can stuff it into a big bag into your pack saving u hassle Of packing and keeping it better Also when storing it have it hanging out on the bottom Get yourself a bivi bag too❤

[@JoshMcCallion]

Ah thanks Ed! Sorry for the slow reply. That is great information, I'll definitely look at getting one of those as I use it quite a bit! I do need a bivi, my navy Dad has been saying it for years!

[@lynnfuller5452]

Great video, loved the pictures of Grandad and the outtakes made me laugh. I’ve slept in that bag. It’s snug.

[@JoshMcCallion]

Thanks Lynn! Yeah we have good genes for sure haha. The slug is amazing. Lasting the test of time!

Great drone shot 👌🏼

[@JoshMcCallion]

Great pilot 😘

[@motorwaywalker2103]

Great video again Josh. Can't wait till you and Millie have a baby so we can all see videos of the three of you trying to fit in the sleep bag haha. What are your opinions on personal number plates? Looking at buying one when I can afford one. Thanks

[@JoshMcCallion]

Ah that's great! Thanks for the message Finlay :)

[@bushcraftboys]

iv just got hold of 1 kinda like this 1 but slightly different does yours have 6 male poppers at the bottom? my poncho buttons onto it

[@JoshMcCallion]

They are great aren't they. I will have to check the poppers and get back to you. It's been a while since I used mine

[@bushcraftboys]

@@JoshMcCallion I slept in it the other weekend was proper warm cant wait till the temp drops to try it.. Il take my poncho an set it up next time

[@irvsstella]

Dude, this was my issue bag, I can tell you in no uncertain terms you cannot jump ship and float in these bags, nor can you canoe down stream. The closest you might get is having a stream flow through your bivvi on Dartmore and move a little downstream from sliding away, not a good look!!!!

[@JoshMcCallion]

haha I was only playing. It became an on going joke between me and my mates because I always took my Grandad's bag whenever we went camping or to festivals. I came up with a new story every time and that one stuck! What an unbelievable bit of kit though. Maybe I've never been anywhere cold enough to truly test it, but I've always been the warmest guy on the camping trip!

[@mikerobson762]

Use it as a canoe???? Use it as a floating aid ????? Get real🤦‍♂️

[@JoshMcCallion]

😂😂 it was a joke. Perhaps I need to work on my delivery!

[@mikerobson762]

The liner that was issued with it was crap,,it twisted round you so much it was a near impossible task to get out of it,the feathers tended to go AWOL after a while and when it got wet it was sh@t. The press studs along the bottom were meant to clip onto the row of poppers on the edge of the 58 pattern poncho to create a sort of small bivvy when pegged down at the feet end and propped up at the head end using a piece of branch as a makeshift pole,secured by paracord and peg.
