How to Make a WWII Bedroll
In this video I discuss a few variants of the bedroll used during WWII. The first version is probably the most common style used. The second is another style utilizing the shelter half as a waterproof cover. I threw in the version where I try putting everything into the roll because I wanted to prove a point. They end up being too heavy and too wide and look ridiculous. The last version in the video is the way the 7th army was told to roll their bedrolls. It consisted of 2 blankets, a sleeping bag, any additional articles of clothing and then the shelter half. This is also not exclusive to the 3rd Infantry Division. It’s appropriate for some impressions during specific points in the war. If you need any further assistance then this I’m not too sure what to tell you. If the farm boys with a 3rd grade education could figure it out, so can you. Please don’t over complicate this, it’s a bedroll.

Helps me to understand how this experience might have contributed to his lack of being able to be a dependable father.

    U. S. Army veteran here (1964-66). I just can't get over the idea of war-enacters trying to play war, much less trying to tell someone how to do it without ever having been shot at. Where's the fun? Do you have a way to re-enact limbs blown off, spilled guts and bullet holes (a misnomer; they aren’t neat round holes) ? Do you have people who volunteer or are assigned to scream in pain, or do you have that on CD's? Do you lie in the same place for hours, so scared that you shit your pants, not that you wouldn't because you can't get up to go to the Porta-Potty? And what do you do about the smell of the shit and the puke and the burnt flesh and the blood? Don't get me wrong. The video was interesting, if a bit misinformed. Nobody carried bedrolls. You carried one or two canteens, a couple of field dressings, a poncho, a shit pot of ammo (for an M-1, as many bandoliers as you could grab, ten clips per bandolier), 2-3 packs of smokes and a few (2-6) grenades - and a shelter half. Oh, and if you were lucky, dry socks, definitely the socks, lots of socks (you could, if you were the type, sell extras for a small fortune).
