You don't need that last tornister strap, and your Kochgeschirr handle and bread bag strap are upside down. The Kochgeschirr handle should be tucked down, with the straps hooked to it. The middle of the bread bag strap goes through the tab of the upper tornister strap, thus forming the pack straps. It should be adjusted tight enough that it doesn't move at all once on your back, but you'll need put it on like a Tornister, with a friend to hook one strap end onto the Kochgeschirr handle for you.
I'd always wondered how those were assembled. I think if I were you, I'd try to put fewer buckles against my back. Those things will dig in to you on a march pretty freaking quick.
If you’re looking for cheap but good ones go to Soldier of Fortune for the zeltbahn and straps. Hessen Antique has better ones though. I have no idea where he got the mess tin :/
I would get an airsoft Springfield 1903 (yes they make them) then search up reenacting guides for US soldiers so you know what to do for the uniform, For a sidearm you should use a 1911 (Co2).
No one has them. Surplus has run dry and repros aren't made. I have a Swiss one from the 80s that's identical to the 1907 with a few minor differences but some units may tell you what you could use as a substitute, like a Swiss, Hungarian or postwar German Mess kit
@@Worldwar1Airsoft i use a modern windbreaker jacket and raincoat, wrapped inside an auscam hootchie. in the centre is a basic australian army small ammunition pouch in which i keep personal stuff and an aus army mess tin strapped to the back.
Hi! I really love your videos and is trying to get into ww1 airsoft myself. Perhaps you have already answered this question but where did you buy the great coat and cover? :)
Quick question, are all of those straps mess tin straps? Or greatcoat straps? Also,unrelated to the pack, but I noticed your boots were just bare leather. Were the jackboots worn with the early war uniform dyed brown? Or were they left in the bare leather like yours?
Great video. I will do this for Halloween and airsoft! Anyway, not trying to be a jerk, but the uniform in the thumbnail is actually unhistorically accurate because that tunic is a 1914 through somewhat 1915. The style you want is for 1916-1918 which they switched out the tunic.
You should never definitively say this did not happen. You might not have seen it, but I have seen photos of Germans in 1945 wearing m35 and even m17 stahlhelms. Although it's very rare to see, weird anomalies like that do happen but are not representative of the large amount of the force. The best example of this I can think of is German manuals say don't strap your gas cape to the gas mask cannister. But almost every image of soldiers you'll see have it strapped to the cannister.
M1907/10 tunics were worn throughout the war. M1915s were just introduced, but never replaced. Many soldiers still wore their old one and there were still probably older stocks.
SUCKERTASH, the m1915 was exposed to be the standard tunic. So if you’re trying to make some film or costume about that time the most accurate will be the M1915. Major difference are the covered buttons.
This was super helpful! Ive been considering starting a german wwi impression and these help. Quick question tho Could you get away w using wwii jackboots for wwi or are they different? Thank you!
So just to be sure, you said four straps, but then said one was a double strap. Do we need 5 straps then? Very informative by the way, I was having trouble finding the steps to doing this online.
You take the pack apart, remove the greatcoat, and reassemble it. It can be made with just the zeltban. And the canteen is hung from the breadbag on your belt.
Mistä ostit Sun nahkasaappaat Ja onko mukavat pitää päällä? haluaisin olla vaan varma kun ostan saappaat että ne olis sit hyvän laatuset ja ei hankaa liikaa
Jj Jj Ostin nämä korrektit m93 sappaat Hessen antikista. Jos ostat sieltä kannattaa ostaa yhen koon pienemmät koska nää on tosi isot mulle vaikka otin oman kokoni ja nahka muotoutuu muutenkin käytössä. Jos et haluu maksaa sitä lähemmäs kahtasataa niin ihan perus SA 10€ saappaat käy :)
@@GermanSoldier-hl6gx It contained mess kit for food, zeltbahn for setting camp and greatcoat to keep warm. Stormtroopers used them in long campaigns because supply lines took some time to establish after the ground was captured. Sometimes many kilometers at a time.
I was just wondering if really anyone could spell all that crap out for me all of the stuff that used to because I don't know how to spell that so when I'm looking for it online or on eBay or stuff I just want to know how to spell
Always wondered how that was done tbh

His way isn't necessarily Wrong, just different as long as it works.
Yeah, its really the soldiers preference
Thank you i thought my nestof breadbag strap was too short but this way of doing it worked way better.
I’m a low budget guy so I’m just gonna use belts
Josepi The miner true
lol thanks for teh idea
Yeah 😂
they pretty much are belts anyways
I just need the straps
Man the line has the mess kit,shelter, and the greatcoat
All you need is the straps and the strap for the mess kit
You can always use a blanket instead of dropping like 200 bucks on a great coat
Can't wait to see the mg08/15
Well done Sir, 😏nice package
Thank you!

Gotta love that German complexity !
I found this very helpful since I’m getting a ww1 mess kit in July and don’t wanna spend the 200 on a Tornister
Come on where did you get the mess tin and straps,and the tarp
If you’re looking for cheap but good ones go to Soldier of Fortune for the zeltbahn and straps. Hessen Antique has better ones though. I have no idea where he got the mess tin :/
Ah those where fun times
I really want to get started in WWI Airsoft. But, as a Doughboy, not a Jerry.
I would get an airsoft Springfield 1903 (yes they make them) then search up reenacting guides for US soldiers so you know what to do for the uniform, For a sidearm you should use a 1911 (Co2).
thank you this would be more cheaper than the tornister for my ww1 German uniform
I don't eve have a german uniform, but, dman this video is so intresting!
Really informative video, thank you!
Very helpful
Where can you get the mess tin? I can only find WWII era ones. Can’t even find them at Man the Line.
No one has them. Surplus has run dry and repros aren't made. I have a Swiss one from the 80s that's identical to the 1907 with a few minor differences but some units may tell you what you could use as a substitute, like a Swiss, Hungarian or postwar German Mess kit
i do this with modern equipment. its good because i don't carry enough stuff to use a pack, but it doesn't fit in my webbing. good video!
That sounds cool! Do you have like a modern waterproof sheet and a food package? Or just random gear like BBs and radios etc

@@tordropzz2828 Thanks!
Garudo no problem, sorry for it being 2 years till you got an answer
Where do you even get all this stuff?
Quick question, are all of those straps mess tin straps? Or greatcoat straps? Also,unrelated to the pack, but I noticed your boots were just bare leather. Were the jackboots worn with the early war uniform dyed brown? Or were they left in the bare leather like yours?
At the beginning they were just left as bare leather. In autumn 1915 the prussian war department ordered all leather parts to be painted black.
I know that this is really old, but do you have any advice for finding a greatcoat replica for a 1914 uniform? I can only find 1915 replicas
Where do I buy this stuff?

Ryan cook, I get my data from the games Verdun and Tannenberg. Also from pictures form some books.
M1907/10 tunics were worn throughout the war. M1915s were just introduced, but never replaced. Many soldiers still wore their old one and there were still probably older stocks.
Wait what tunic was used in 1917
Was it the m1915 tunic and if not tell me because I'm trying to make my costume as accurate as possible

Great vid
I could see using a foam pool noodle and try and make it flat by cutting it down the middle and cutting to shap or a blanket
Or just buy a greatcoat and a zeltbahn instead of being farby ;)
World War 1 Airsoft I'm not the young ;)
great video!
This is cool
Ich Liebe ihren Kanal ! I Love your Channel :)
So you need 5 greatcoat straps in total?
MrButtsworth Yes but the two are tied together
I need a link for the straps
This was super helpful! Ive been considering starting a german wwi impression and these help.
Quick question tho
Could you get away w using wwii jackboots for wwi or are they different? Thank you!
They are different, so no.
Some wear Finnish jackboots and it’s basically unnoticeable. Probably your best bet.
They are basically the same
Did you used Pickelhaube with go pro? :D
Now would you just roll the Zeltbahn all by itself like that if you wanted to put it onto the tornistor
Gute machen kamerade!
Wow no dislikes! Let’s keep it that way.
Can you repeat me the metal stuff

Where can I get the leather straps to hold it together
Hessen antique
So just to be sure, you said four straps, but then said one was a double strap. Do we need 5 straps then? Very informative by the way, I was having trouble finding the steps to doing this online.
mukmuk723 yes, you need 5 straps which of you need to combine two
mukmuk723 Yes you need five straps :D my mistake.
What is the brown blanket thing plz answer I’m trying to do a ww1 cosplay also you should do a video on attaching it to your back
zeltbahn. technically pre ww1 but you can get them on hessen antique or ebay
Zeltbahn is a shelter (tent) section also worn as a poncho.
Completely different from the WWII ones. The WWII ones had a hole in them for your neck so you could use it as a rain poncho.
Help i need a canteen, also what do you do when you need the coat?
You take the pack apart, remove the greatcoat, and reassemble it. It can be made with just the zeltban.
And the canteen is hung from the breadbag on your belt.
I can’t find a mess kit
Where did you get the straps and tarp
Both can be found at Hessen Antique or Soldier of Fortune.
