    Greetings..I Retired from the CF in 2012 after 30 years..I really enjoy how you bushcrafters are repurposing the old green kit..I have used a tip or two in my own collection of gear..all the kit you have is all too familiar..lol..the mitts at 13:55 are trigger mitts..they were issued with the cold weather kit..they were worn when you were required to employ your personal weapon..hard to pull a tigger with the big arctic mittens..the trigger mitts had a wool liner but were cold..the US helmet cover was issued in the late 80s as a stop gap measure to resolve shortage of the canadian helmet cover just before the new helmets came into use in the 90s....the old gas mask carriers might make a nice haversack with some modification..working on that myself...great vids keep them comming..

      @@martyniner8893 True that not all at staff are aircrew but there are staff officers at 1 wing that are pilots (several). To run the wing you need to know what the sqns do and need. They also run standards and planning, not just support trades. Fewer desk tours now that they introduced a new trade with aviation staffers that are not actually aircrew to support with planning and other tasks. Plus all the aircrew that are at RMC wear flight suits depending on the dress of the day so supply carries both one and two piece flight suits in both summer and winter weights. Besides, if you’re entitled to it and that’s your closest supply they’ll order anything in you need.

    In the CAF we call that type of box, and I use that term box in the broadest sense, Tri-walls not Tri-forms.

    A little history on the duffle bag that is labeled WO Devereau, 2 RCR. This item is from the Bosnia tour in 1991-92. The reason it has Belleville on it is because this was most likely his UAB (Unaccompanied Baggage) that was shipped from Gagetown NB, to Belleville ON. From there, they would send it over seas to us.

      B-H means Bosnia Herzegovina.
      CCUNPROFOR means Canadian Contingent United Nations Protection Force.
      BHQ means Battalion Head Quarters.
      He was my Platoon Warrant Officer on that tour.

    I recently saw similar nomex gloves listed as mortar crew gloves so maybe that’s what you’ve got.

    The "prison shirts" are Naval combat dress shirts. They will be phased out within the next year. So you will see them in alot of them in the next few years.

    7:35 Pilot gloves, very similar to the thermal lightweight (mortar) gloves.
