[airborne1940]

And what soap did you put in the soap wrapper? I can't find a soap small enough to fit in my one.

[ziggybome]

@airborne1940 Its some cheep soap I got from tesco for a few pence. It was too big to fit in at first so I shaped it with my knife untill it fitted

[airborne1940]

where did you get the toothbrush mate?

[swilliams2482]

Awesome gear. Thanks for sharing.

[littleaprilroses]

I wonder if Hershey bars tasted different back in the 1940s... OLD PEOPLE! This would be the time to inform me of how things were in te old'n days!

[BassGoesBoom1]

@littleaprilroses Most candy bars use corn syrup instead of sugar nowdays , you can taste the difference.Also possible the older bars had a higher percentage of cocoa butter instead of the vegetable oil they use now.

[littleaprilroses]

@BassGoesBoom1 So basically they probably tasted better, lol. =P Thanks for the info.

[em23]

[gamer30003]

where can i find the templates to those things that are homemade

[febuary251998]

by the way just to say them rations wernt used until late war they used the plain ones on d-day

[joecoppens]

@m1carbine94, the dislike of Charms/superstition that they're unlucky is a modern occurrence among servicemen. They were actually quite popular in the 40's.

@ziggybome, I wouldn't brush my teeth with the Barbasol, it's brushless shaving cream, not tooth paste. You can pick up tins of toothpowder (paste was made, but powder was popular in the field since it wouldn't freeze) for about $20 U.S.

Nice layout!

[ziggybome]

@joecoppens yes lol that was a mistake i made when i was filming i do know that barbosoal is shaving stuff. I am on the look out for some toothpowder

[joecoppens]

@ziggybome I checked a few of the sites I regularly deal with, War Dog Militaria (put that together and add a dot com and you've got their URL) has tins of Kolynos brand tooth powder for $20. Its one of the more common brands, the other that I've seen a lot is Squibb. I hope that helps with your collecting, the people at War Dog are great, I've bought so much stuff from them! One more note on that Barbasol, it contains lead, so I'd suggest washing your hands after touching the tube.

[M1carbine94]

GET RID OF THE CHARMS THEY ARE NO GOOD!

[ziggybome]

@M1carbine94 lol but they were part of the rations

[bargunner18]

you must mean the e-tool cover is 43' dated right ? great find those are hard to come by in od3 and even harder to find with the non-adjustable belt hook.

[ziggybome]

@bargunner18 yes its is ment to be e-tool but since i am english i normaly call it a shovel. Yer we were told that they are hard to find the prople i got it from had a huge pile of them but they were mainly the more green ones. My dad got one for £20 from a differnt show dated 1943 with a 1944 shovle in a unisued condition

[Collinss01]

Nice collection :D

[bernardmcbride]

When you started saying pounds i was confused,then i relized,your from england

[TheSpecOpsAirsoft1]

charms=unluckiness

[ziggybome]

@TheSpecOpsAirsoft1 why whats the story behind that??

[TheSpecOpsAirsoft1]

@ziggybome oh, I think ever since vietnam (or ww2), the wouldn't let people with charms in their vehicle.

[101stairbornedan]

dude btw barbasol isnt toothpaste its shaveing cream bud :D

[ziggybome]

@101stairbornedan oh :D lol i knew i got it mixed up with the tooth paste box we have :D

[MilitaryFilmMaker]
