Looks nice! I honestly recommend making your own custom medical items (Bandages, carlile dressings, Sulfa, etc) So you don't accidentally rip or ruin your authentic ones. Always nice to fill them with cheap modern gauze rolls or to make your own dressings, that way you can have a whole kit made without breaking the bank! Also don't forget your medical brassard! Good luck on your event! If you possibly can, try and find a 2nd canteen too, as its documented many medics had extra water for treating the wounded
I found another canteen because I do know they had two. But I can't find a canteen pouch for it lol. Thank you for the tip about making my own medical equipment I will definitely be doing that.
Nice impression!
You were right about the collar discs. They didn't wear all the brass and stuff during combat.
Yeah I figured that. Its too shiny lol
Thank you
@@thenerd1502 Oh btw you should start making little short films on your channel or something. That'd be pretty cool.
@@SGTLevi011 should I really? I might consider it.
keep going my man
This was cool man, ya I wouldn’t want to bunk with anyone else either, I think the tin medical pouch is a “Carlisle bandage “, you could pack some potatoes man, this basically reminds me of myself planning out a camping trip lol, fried taters and corn beef, or spam, I like spam and potato soup, dice it up man, “you stole the potatoes from a French farm” 😉
Thanks for your comment. Thats a good idea to bring potatoes. I completely forgot. i can say i stole it from a french farm, lol. I will bring some potatoes and carrots. Thanks for the idea and also for letting me know about the carlisle bandage.
@@thenerd1502 I actually forgot about carrots I don’t eat them much lol, but yes!
@@outdoorvideoswithbrad ja its going to be cool lol.
You look so smart with the cap!
Thank you!
trim the vampire sticks a little bit and lose the collar disk
@@stretchedout6600 I did
Looks good keep it up ,it all about how much you care
Thank you!
Also, that gasmask is not correct for any WW2 Impression. What you might be looking for (I say because it looks similar) is the M6 “Army Lightweight service mask” bag.
@wannabeb.a.r.man.8859 I know that. It's just resembles the m9 gas mask I am trying tk buy one of the masks you said of a friend of mine but that's difficult.
would you ever think about doing any gaming videos? like Call of Duty gameplay or something?
I tried with btf1 but it didn't turn out to well lol. But I can sure try again and see what people think. I just need some time to figure it out lol.
Helmet's post war, you can get parts from jmurray and replace that strap
I know its post-war. I'm trying to save up to get an original or a more accurate replica.
Murray? I am going to need to check it out.

@@thenerd1502 Personally, I do all my own helmets, I found orig helmets and liners at shows and ebay. Then got parts from JMURRAYINC1944 and restored them myself, saved a crap ton of money doing it that way. But JMurray also does sell complete restored helmets if you're not comfortable with that, however they are pricey, but the best helmets on the market.
@@thenerd1502 JMURRAYINC1944, he sells complete helmets which are some of the best on the market, but are very expensive. Personally i just got an orig helmet and liner that was in rough shape and restored it myself with parts i bought from JMURRAY, saved a lot of money doing it that way. But in the end it's you're choice whether to do your own helmet or not..
Nice job
Thank you
those Brass disk go on your class A jacket not the wool shirt, depending on unit you wouldn't be wearing a tie either in the field. just remember this is a hobby everyone started off some how and your kit will get better as you grow in the hobby add a 2nd canteen as a medic , carry extra smokes, gas mask bag was used more as a carry all worn on the side as they threw away the gas mask
@2104dogface I know about the canteen and the gas mask. It's been on my list of things to pick up another canteen. Thanks for the tips though it is greatly appreciated.
@@thenerd1502 what unit / time frame are you doing??
@@2104dogface I'm portraying the 8th ID after the Normandy landings.
@@thenerd1502 yeah not up on the history of the 8th ID and what their uniform & gear regs were. been doing Airborne for a long time lol.
@2104dogface that's awsome!
