My WWII Gear.. again.

[airborne1940]

Hey, remember me lol? These were the good old days.

[392nickster]

What us the song

[101stairbornedan]

@392nickster glen miller in the mood

[392nickster]

What is the music in the begining

[OzzyJ0]

sweet

[airborne1940]

505th pathfinders 'Camoflauged' almost everything, in some pictures i've seen 505th guys with camo equipment aswell as there uniform!

[joe101stairborne]

how in the hell did you pull of the camo trick with your m42

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Easy. Regular dark green spraypaint from the local hobby shop! You might want to buy two cans though, mine was kinda letting up when I got to the pants, as you can probably tell. Give it a few layers, and spray three or four stripes next to each other. Looks much better than if you just paint a single stripe without anything to "support" it with, if you catch my drift.

[joe101stairborne]

ok I don't think I'll do it though so what if I were to get it wrong then I would have ruined a perfectly good m42 uniform

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

I don't see how it's possible to get wrong... it's very, very easy.

[joe101stairborne]

well I don't really want ot try pulling it off

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

All right, well, I wasn't trying to force you to do anything, just so you know. It wouldn't be correct if you aren't doing 82nd anyway.

[joe101stairborne]

well actually I'm doing 502nd soon to be 501st within the 101st airborne

[Arizonasnipe]

@Proud2BAnAmerican unless he is doing 101st division Pathfinders

[freakseven9]

they also make 505th rigger pouches,if ur doing the whole 505th pathfinder impression.

the 505th of the 82nd did not use the lift the dot rigger pouches for the d-day invasion.

[ETOfilmz]

whats the name of the song? i would like to put it in one of my ww2 movies.

[joe101stairborne]

I do believe it,s called in the mood by glenn miller

[brianbora1]

great vid i love the music the quallaty isnt that bad 5 stars

[OzzyJ0]

what techsgtadams said is right iam a pvt right now. and iam off to normandy in june and your in the 82nd? iam in the 101st i hope you will take it slow and rise up proper in the ranks

[TECHSGTADAMS]

if you want to do reenacting you cant have chfrons you need to raise in rank like a relguar g.i. would

[TECHSGTADAMS]

cool

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Thanks.

[airborne1940]

82ND Reenactor is right.

Even if its tied to your helmet net,theres a chance your helmet net could come off aswell!

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Very small indeed.

[FightingIllini826]

really cool!

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Thank you very much!

[herky34]

dude pathfinder relly cool man

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

I agree completely.! ;)

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Guys, no fights on my vids. I'm not going to tie my first aid pouch onto my helmet, I've been told it was later war. I'll just stay safe and keep it tied to.. well, this might sound a bit weird, but my left ankle. I've seen a couple of period pics of 82nd guys wearing 'em there, so... Well, that's where I am keepin' it.

[82Airbornereenactor]

yay:)

All American All the Way!

[bulletbrendan]

put the paratrooper first aid packet on ur helmet net

[82Airbornereenactor]

That's just for looks, in reality, that thing would be flying off the second you stepped out of the plane. It'd be better to tie it to your webbing.

[TiredBumProductions]

wtf?

no it wouldnt

if it was tied in a knot to ur helmet net

[82Airbornereenactor]

Please send me the links to where you're getting your info, and I don't mean screenshots from The Longest Day, A Bridge Too Far, or Band of Brothers.

I can guarantee you that the force that the wind pushes onto you when you jump out of plane moving at 130+ mph is going to rip that thing clean off your helmet.

Put it on the webgear(or ankle), and can you send me some links to your pics, i've been dying to look at some more. Thanks!

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

It was watermarked photos on a closed down forum.. I know it sounds like bullcrap but that's how it is. I can try and find some more, but I can't guarantee that I'll find anything/much but I'll see what I can do.

[82Airbornereenactor]

Ok, that's cool.

[mastermike95]

I have seen footage of a 17th airborne paratrooper wearing a first aid kit on his helmet getting ready for Operation Varsity.

[TiredBumProductions]

yeha dude i know

[airborne1940]

Correct.

[airborne1940]

No,Wrong! The paratrooper first aid pakcet wasnt tied to the Helmet net..People were even ordered not to tie them to the helmet.Its better on the web gear,well thats were it was most common

[mastermike95]

I have seen footage of a 17th airborne paratrooper wearing a first aid kit on his helmet getting ready for Operation Varsity.

[airborne1940]

17TH!

I cant here the numbers 82ND or 101ST!?

Yeah,The 82ND And 101st were ordered not to tie them due to a other division doing it to show there pride or Whatever it is.

[mastermike95]

one of the regiments of the 17th was from the 82nd the 507th.

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

There's actually two ones in 101st...

And what are you guys talking about anyway? Whether soldiers did or did not put first aid pockets on theIR helmets? Some did, some didn't. It is over done in reenacting and airsofting, but some people did wear them on theIR helmets. Especially after Operation Overlord.

I'd love to see where you guys base your information from?

[airborne1940]

I base my info from band of brothers lol

[airborne1940]

Your right,but your wrong..If that makes sense,

They might of took if off the web gear AFTER the jump and placed it on there helmet.

But the thing is..Its incorrect,they didnt put it in there helmet...

Do you get me?

[82Airbornereenactor]

LOL, you're confusing me.

I think I got the jist of what you're saying. But I was just making the point of tieing it to your helmet and then jumping out of a plane is idiotic.

[00bluemoose]

Great Work

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Thanks man

[carbean1]

absolutly fantastic gear

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Thanks!

[MisDrknss]

i have a question.. where do u keep all this stuff??

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

In a (BIG) box underneath my bed.

[MisDrknss]

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Thanks? lol

[MisDrknss]

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

...Yeah... haha

[MisDrknss]

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Yeaah... I actually thought (note: THOUGHT) about that. But it probably ain't gonna happen.

What about you?

[MisDrknss]

well it should happen :) for me and me?? well next time i see dannah of tiffany (which tiff is back up north so she wont happen anytime soon) yeah i pro will do some thing like that and see if i can get it on here so ha

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

All right, all right...

[luzo0o0]

I have all this stuff too, but all my stuff is real.

I don't have a Jump uniform, real ones will run you 1,000 - 1,500 bucks

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Yeah, original jump suits are really expensive.

Cool you got original gear. I just prefer repro, because if you screw up and original - you can't make a new one. If you screw up a repro, well, you can pretty much guess what.

Are you able to make a video of your stuff?

[DeadStarProductions]

where did u get this gear

lol

hahaha jk buddy

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

[82Airbornereenactor]

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Hmm, yeah, just sayin I'm happy with the American half of me. lol

I guess you already knew that, but all of the other names I thought of were already taken... lol

[82Airbornereenactor]

atthefront or whatpriceglory by any chance?

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Nah... I order from a site in the UK, because it's too expensive to order from the US (import duties and that kind of stuff).

[jasser222]

[airborne1940]

San Francisco.

And you're 13?! You sound like 18 in your last videos. Wow, good job Lol.

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

[PhillipsVanguard]

People With This Sorta Gear Don't Really Make Movies With It. They Reenact.

Good Gear Alex, Good To See You ot Your M42 Uniform!

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

[lizardboy94]

wow nice gear i wish i had gear like urs =]

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Hey, thanks! I like your gear, too!

[krikketje]

Whoooow nice gear m8 you dont got the orginal m42 from your uncle ? greetz

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Thank you, man! No I didn't get it.... It was in my uncle's "museum", but now it's gone. Got cought in a wildfire.. My uncle did get some of the stuff out though, but he'll keep it for himself, I'm sure. And I don't blame him.

[krikketje]

can you doo a video of better quality just tto show your m42

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Maybe, because I do not have a better quality camera at the moment (my good one broke ...). In fact, the only camera I have at the moment is on my phone, and I can't make any higher quality videos with that. When my laptop arrives from the US, I'll have a 1.3 megapixel camera.. I don't know if you can do with that?

[wizart49]

you have great gear they are having at the strasburg railroad in penna called trains and troops you can a train with troops from every war. i am hoping they sell equipment there. its in nov.

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Thank you, man! Does the Strasburg Railroad have a website?? I'd like to check it out!

[WW2RANGERCAPTAIN]

wow why is your suit painted.

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Commonly done by the pathfinders of the 505th PIR, 82nd AB..

[leathernek08]

[Proud2BAnAmerican]

Thanks! Glenn Miller is awesome.! Well, I'm getting there, I need a lot of stuff till it's complete for real, like peronal items, wools, rations and stuff. But I'm pretty much there. And the newspaper is cool, I like it too.

[DeadStarProductions]
