I started collecting the American uniform from ww2 because of you! Soon will be joining a reenactment group in Holland! Love your vids and keep up the good work :)
That's a great impression and gear presentation my friend .... I enjoyed the show ! I've watched your other videos and this is one of the best ones... I've learned some stuff : ) I will be presenting my own WW2 U.S. Army gear displays on Veteran's Day coming up on Nov. 11th. Only if I'm successful in preparing the stuff I need for the show... if not able to, well maybe by next year's Veteran's Day.... once again your impression was great : )
When I wear my packed haversack/webgear the pack sags down on my back due to weight, and my front pouches go up too high on my chest. How to I fix the Haversack in place?
I usually put the bandolier on first. When ever i put the gas mask on I criss cross it. It stays on better that way. Plus Double buckles weren't issued during the Normandy Invasion you don't start seeing them until Oct-Nov 44. Most of the guys that got the fresh gear were the replacements.
@@TheDisappointedKenobi they are very rare and pretty expensive, plus many og ones are rotting and I wouldn't use. They were often discarded when they landed so I wouldn't worry about it
Clips i got 20 for $20 on Ammo Garand and ammo is very important, you need a special kind called m2 ball and preferably one that say made for the M1 Garand because if the ammo is too strong it could damage your rifle really bad
@@reenactmentdays5891 I believe he means easy company of the first infantry. Could be wrong though. Each company had specific details to them. For example, Easy Company of the fifth rangers had British small hole netting while the other companies had no netting, even though they were all technically part of the "5th Rangers"
@@bige6946 there are other places where you could get other things like, WWII impressions and what price glory, i got my boots from miltec, they make cheaper boots but they have been working great for me.
Isn't he also missing the waist mounted floatation belt issued to the troops boarding the landing craft? I saw one last week for sale said Sparkles on the belt .
@@thIDthIRreenactor Of course what I heard about them they didn't work due to the amount gear carried by the troops defeated it's ability to maintain Bouyancy.

Miss these
great vid! you should make a 101st airborne uniform tho!
6:07 Cross the straps of the gas mask bag like an X on your back. That will keep it from sliding off. That’s how the soldiers did it.
HOLY SHIT THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You should make a airborne uniform set up
Yea 101st or 82nd
There’s already to many airborn setups it’s the most common setup on CZcams
@@RuebenbayonaTrue but most don’t do it correctly.

Awesome
Nice uniform set up
Oh hell yea
Should I get a bandolier for my m1 carbine?

bandolier goes on last. You can tighten it up with a knot or a safety pin (Originals will come with one)
Where's your m1926 lifebelt? Good impression though!
Its m1924 medic pouch
Can u give me the link to your discord pls
You should consider going out to D-Day Ohio in august!
I want to but Ohio has a lot of restrictions on that still
@@reenactmentdays5891 That's true. I'm hoping to be there anyway
i am from ohio and ive done it once but reenacment days is right there are a lot of restritions
@@tuckerbetz9585 Yeah, We'll see what happens 🤷♂️ I know one thing. I ain't taking no vaxeeeeeene 😜
Where do you get your reenactment gear? I would love to get into re-enactments/ reenacting
at the front
A lot of places
I just got my own army belt🙂!
Question, Im gling to Comic Con and wanting to wear my D-Day unifrom! Should i wear my Olive drab or brown pants?
I would say more of a brown color, later war they got greener but for dday I would do brown
@@reenactmentdays5891 okay thanks! And shoukd i get the M-1926 Lifebelt?
@@TheDisappointedKenobi they are very rare and pretty expensive, plus many og ones are rotting and I wouldn't use. They were often discarded when they landed so I wouldn't worry about it
@@reenactmentdays5891 okay
@@reenactmentdays5891 Where did you get your Gas Brassard, I tried to get one from "Man the line" but it was a scam
Oh yes d day today what 77 years ago now?
77 years ago
Where do you get your m1 garand clips and bullets?
Clips i got 20 for $20 on Ammo Garand and ammo is very important, you need a special kind called m2 ball and preferably one that say made for the M1 Garand because if the ammo is too strong it could damage your rifle really bad
@@reenactmentdays5891 thank you for letting me know I was searching everywhere for them.
You must be apart of easy company
No, here i am a part of 1st infantry
