    A neighbor of mine gave me one of these haversacks that he found in his garage. I had no idea what it was. Thanks for excellent video. I know now!

    11:32 I’m sure troops were thrilled to carry larger volume in wooden tent pegs than the totality of 2 meals required. In fact I’d bet as many as could dumped the entire tent & components in favor of more socks, maybe some underwear, a watchmen’s cap, extra food or even an additional bandolier of ammo

    A thing on the bayonet which you probably already know but others might not = The haversack was originally meant to fit the 16-inch M1905 bayonet for the M1903 Springfield rifle, not the 10-inch M1 bayonet for the Garand. Leading up to Normandy, most new units would have been issued with newer packs instead of those insane origami haversacks. Only the veterans of Italy and North Africa would still have the haversack, and they'd be dumping them as fast as possible for the newer gear. But all that is for Europe. I have no idea what Army units assigned to the Pacific of CBI Theaters would have used.

      The haversack was still the primary pack in Normandie. It can be seen all over the place. Not seen much evidence of many soliders getting lucky enough to have a musette bag and the m44 field bags dont get seen in use untill right at the end.
      If you know of another bit of gear I have missed out though please do share as I would like to know what ive missed.
      The Marine core haversacks were superior. They were much closer to the m44 packs.

      The only thing I saw missing was the meatcan pouch's leather insert/sheath for the knife, and I've only seen one of those non-repro in the last twenty five years. Other than that, you seem spot-on.

      I managed to get hold of one that I am pretty sure is original now. But Only for the knife.

      Yeah I know :) I do not really understand why they did not update it on wartime models to be more suitable for the 10inch one. If they decided it just was not worth it Then They could of jsut deleted it but they still have the feature all the way up to the m45 packs!

    From videos from WW2 most soldiers when they hit Europe. Dumbed their tents. In favor of food and clean clothing. They either slept in someones house or foxhole. They did carrying some kind wet weather gear.

    How’d you fold your shelter half?

      Basically lay it flat.
      Then fold the triangular end in to make a square and the basically fold in half repeatedly untill its the size you want 😁

      You will be fine. If you need any help with things just ask :)
      As long as you pack it sensibly and make sure it is done up nice and tight you should not loose things. Most of the items should be wrapped up inside the blanket and pup tent half :)

      Thanks for reply. When you see the item rolled and tied in cover around the top of the pack is this the blanket or the Rain coat ? Cheers.

    • @Truffle1947
      @Truffle1947  Год назад

      The chances are that both of those items were put there by troops. I have certainly seen coats there. But if you are lucky enough to have an extra blanket I am sure someone must of done that.

    WWI???
