In my opinion some of the LC stuff like magazine pouches and canteen covers ,are more practical if your going to be using it for SHTF or bug out equipment (and not reenactments). Reason being the nylon material holds up better in rainy and snowy conditions compared to the canvas material. Even if you have the money, why tair up expensive original equipment(again if you're going to be using it for SHTF/hunting scenario) when most army surpluses carry the LC-# ammo pouches and canteen covers, even with today inflation ,for a reasonable price and typically will be lightly used or practically unissued condition. And in my opinion I like the LC-# ammo pouches and canteen covers because the drain holes allow for water to exit your equipment, and nylon material allows for faster drying.
What's the biggest differences between the web gear suspenders? I have a few that are definitely old but they have no identification left on them . Would the hooks at the ends be a telling sign?
Would it still be ok to at least have one nylon canteen pouch Because I also have the original water purification tablets with it and I was wondering that part
@@trollersvex5818 I mean really it’s your choice I guess. If you’re just airsofting or LARPing then no one really cares. Use ALICE if you really want too.
like me i just do it for airsoft and i doesn't matter that much for me but this was helpful
This was all very helpful, thanks! I bought a repro helmet cover so I could add graffitti and not feel bad but I can see where you are coming from.
My helmet is exactly like the one you show with that cover and chinstrap. Although, the main liner and helmet was made during the war
I have a weird pair of jungle boots they have a 66 dated top with the little seem on the heel but a Panama sole.
I was going for a Korean War impression, bought a lot of m56 stuff before I looked up what year m56 was put into service
I know damn well my gears not accurate I’m just too poor to afford the real stuff
They started putting the neckbands on in 66
That’s cause the real stuff is expensive no one wants to pay thirty extra dollars for something that is a tad bit off 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
It isn’t for everyone. If you want cheap go for desert storm. That won’t be much longer

Yes.
Also the m67 30rd magazine pouch or usmc LINCLOE version both dont have the plastic reinforcement on the metal clip. Great vid keep up the realism!
When i doubt look for nsn and dsa!

No, no matter what, you should never use ALICE canteen covers
@Makin Bacon weren't they still used in Vietnam tho like there are soldiers who didn't have 100%canvas gear
@@trollersvex5818 Thats M1967 but was limited to spec-ops units. Dont use the canteen cover. If you have tablets put them somewhere else in your gear.
@@dastealthoperator4138 like were because i don't got shit in my but back
