Thats horrible

[@billwatson3527]

I was a radioman in Vietnam and an Alice pack may have been one of the reasons I made it home. In a firefight, the life expectance of a radioman was 7 sec. The radio was never carried on one of those stupid boards. You got an Alice pack and but the radio in it ran the tape antenna tied along a shoulder strap and kept the handset under your shirt. You did not want the Viet Cong to know you had a radio. Try hiding a PRC 77 in one of those small packs you have there. I was a marine and in Nam in 69 and 70. We never stopped long enough to dig a hole so you can through the entrenching tools oner there with the Alice pack.

[@billwatson3527]

@USMC Airsoft You are correct about it being a lightweight rucksack. It was a lot bigger than the combat field pack we were issued in the Marines. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Thank you for your service.

[@herothereenactor]

I like how when he picks up the alice pack and says if your having money problems then you hear money fall to the floor 😂😂😂😂

[@haywire8008]

yeah lol

[@dreiglt4]

I don't think it was planned

[@Dav4d1507]

“ and there getting harder to find every day “ yeah no wonder you own them all even the ones you don’t like lol

dude this is honest to god the funnest shit on vietnam gear i have ever seen. love it man keep up the great work!

[@johnpedulla8210]

Is against Alice pack, but is fine with post war M3 bag🤔

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

Lmao

[@jetmassagli]

Hi john

[@pepsiboi3798]

Would the 9th only have a buttpack on the lightweight frame or a ruck with it?

[@8BALLJOHNSON]

Also curious as well

[@blakehamilton8091]

I’ve seen 4th ID using tropicals

[@craigfallon4198]

The Tropical ruck didn't come out until 68 and weren't wide used until late 68, most units used the lightweight rucks even in the 70s. Cavs used them I know in the 70s. Field packs (Butt) were used when patrolling, ambushes, Listening posts, where rucks were heavy to carry. As, for personal items I've seen them carried in empty 7.62 ammo cans ( GI briefcase) the claymore bags if carried, carried the mine, trip flares were carried. For reenactment reasons extra clothes are fine, but not correct. Extra socks were the only things carried, most guys by mid late war weren't wearing t-shirts in the field or boxers. They carried extra water, ammo, food, letters, photos from home. They also had care packages from home they carried, cookies, candy, packs of gum, drink mixes, coffee cans, etc. They also received soda and beer with the resupplies and would would carry up to 3 to cans of their choice. Masks were carried, where gas was being used, bayonets were carried, except by those wanting to look cool or tuff and on their suspenders. Plus pens, paper for writing home, maybe a paperback book, if you liked reading, car mags, playboy, what most 18, 19 years olds would. That's why these rucks weighed 70 + to 100 lbs. Some carried the rubber "B" air mattress, as well good for moving things like the radio across rivers. Not every one would carry a E tool, maybe two in a squad, same with machete. A lot of factors played in this, unit, type of missions, time period, etc.

[@SkipRizzBandit]

For the gas mask bag I have a period music radio that fits perfectly in the square side pocket

[@crazyd4ve875]

Being completely green as to vietnam reenactment and knowing little on the subject, why are ALICE packs a bad idea to bring along?

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

Actually I'm gonna do a video covering a that tmrw since a couple people have asked me this week

[@boringdude1626]

3:10 Regarding this, does this imply that only the 1st cav runs tropical rucks or tropical rucks on the ruckframe?

[@pdchr]

Initially - I thought... "Geez... kid... you're too young to be making claims like this". But then I thought... "Oh hell... I'm entertained... and honestly... this kid has more old militia than old rangers." You're really into this - and I enjoyed watching... love old army.

[@josephscagnelli4556]

Did marines use lightweight rucks

[@nickyfourfive216]

You should do a good in-depth video on how you attach the lightweight bag high on the frame

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

Good idea I will

[@moodischill5801]

It's not hard

[@vietnamreenactor3933]

Also I just got a sleeping bag, and m56 straps, where can I put that

[@Kilo-1_Actual]

For a 68 Army impression, should i get an ARVN ruck?

I aprove of this kind of youngin hanging around my boy respect brother just remember all this stuff is for defending ur family and protecting poeple that cant not for mischief right lol not talking about the back packs lol

[@Someyungrebel]

Wish I would’ve stumbled on this before I went through the trouble of restoring a medium Alice. *cries in M-65 field jacket*

[@cooperduggan9463]

hey Rocco, love the content!! quick question, what us army divisions used tropical rucks and arvn rucks?

[@blakehamilton8091]

I’ve seen 1st cav and 4th ID

[@verdant2215]

i just bought a marine field pack with Etool holder and Etool. amazing shape. payed 250 for it

[@salambacha88]

Really great video! Also I checked out your new vids, you look completely different. Congrats

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

Lmaoo thanks bro I appreciate it a shit ton…I’m still a fucking retard though unfortunately

[@_dimitri_7021]

Never see so much ruckack , for my part i have only arvn version

[@SteelPot1970]

I found a near mint ARVN ruck for $95 (I don't know what shipping would be yet). Should I buy it? Just asking for your opinion if that is a good price.

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

If u can get it for under 170 in total I would definitely hop on it

[@SteelPot1970]

@@Inbush-cx6tt Alright, thanks!

[@kleverstudios]

any idea what the 23rd infantry div wore along these lines?

[@minn0o716]

1:32 Rocco: these go for a ridiculous amount of money and are getting harder and harder to find Rocco: drops both rucksacks 4 times before getting it in the right place

[@Kreuzfahrt_]

Where can I get a plastic one like yours? (Radio)

[@PeterCyr-pj3wf]

Nah I never put my Vietnam war kit together yet don’t have the trousers and jungle boots for the kit yet

[@kaydenkircher2076]

What's a good price for the frame? The unit I portray uses the frame with buttpacks (2nd Battalion, 47th Inf., 9th ID)

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

With straps probably 150

[@kaydenkircher2076]

ALICE pack is okay for hiking and that's about it.

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

Facts

[@SkipRizzBandit]

Has the price changed at all?

[@BackAtTheBricks]

Wheres the best place to start looking for a decent price bag? Lw ruck

[@micahfrye8885]

How common was the arvn in 68-72? I’ve seen pics but not a ton. I’ve seen some for really cheap like under 100 and would like to get this

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

Not to common but it's way cheaper then lw so u shouldnt get to much crap for it,that's a decent price u should pick it up

[@joescagnelli9406]

Where did you get the prc I want one just because others to expensive

[@JUNGLEHOUND]

Can i use a m41 haversack its dated 1962

[@haywire8008]

only for marines

Do you have any nam ammo boxes for sale?

[@masonanderson8152]

Can you tell me we’re you got the prc 77 or link it

[@dylanking7065]

Would a WWII or M1952 Mountain ruck be good for an airborne impression?

[@moodischill5801]

No

[@haywire8008]

some 101st guys used 52s but you probably know that by now

[@RoachDoggJr2112]

The ALICE pack isn't junk, it's just not right for the impression lol. As far as rucks go, it kicks the Lightweight and Tropical rucksacks asses.

[@saigonfrontiers8617]

It is a piece of junk though…. It’s so clunky and annoying and the straps are hard to adjust

[@ausman9165]

um when I went to a military collectables store I legit managed to find a australian issued / made PRC-77 radio unit just radio radio nothing else, for 45 bucks

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

Seriously?do you remember where I'll have to call and see if they have more,I will take a trip for that😂

[@ausman9165]

@@Inbush-cx6tt you will mate it's a bloody great store, I copped a P88 auscam webset for 70 bucks with canteens and kidney cups and all. I do know the shop. but it's a matter of where the radio has already been found by some person because it is a miliary collectables store so it's one off, but if I could I would buy it and just send it over

[@menacingjackal5990]

Will a cargo shelf off a p65 riveted frame fit on a earlier welded frame ?

[@vietnamreanacting.6818]

They are identical except for little holes but yes it will fit

[@Quapple855]

Would a Korean War upper pack work in place of a ruck?

[@saigonfrontiers8617]

For early to mid war marines

[@americanmig160]

I found all my grandfathers stuff and I’m trynna figure out how to put it on 💀

[@motorsphere356]

I understand u are doing a us soldier impression though I just want to give some info. The sasr in Vietnam used canvas Bergen's. They were from ww2 however it's size made it so no bum pack was needed on the webbing. just some quick info

[@thatgiguy1971]

Oh can you use a medium alice ruck for nam mines the lc1 74 dated one

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

Unfortunately no,even though it could be argumented it is “war time” I NEVER made it over seas to Vietnam.for example my newest uniform was made in 2015 and it just made its way to be in europe

[@matejvrlik8233]

Have you bag for sniper rifle in Vietnam?

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

Hmm I not to familiar with that,I would assume most would be private purchase.hopefully someone in the comment section could enlighten us both

[@No_fritz01]

It's fucking stupid to find a Vietnam era rucksack that go for 3 - $600

[@Hangtime.1967]

For my gear I just connected a m1961 and a m1956 butt pack together and it holds all the stuff I need, I'm working on investing in a m1945 pack (before you say anything fuck you). Even though m1945 packs where not issued in larger numbers its the only thing in my budget that doesn't drain the bank too much.

[@Inbush-cx6tt]

Do u thing man but if I were you I would just keep saving,repro lightweights recently came out pretty cheap

[@Hangtime.1967]

Thanks for replying, I have been saving but I’m a broke bitch and even the cheapest of repros are too expensive for me :(
