I paid $25 US for mine "used" even though it was brand new. Turned mine into a field trauma/medical kit. Thinking about getting one or two more for another LBE project.

Those aren't mag pouches, They are pouches for spare filters for the GSR

certainly the first time ive seen that being worn that way. most of the time, its thrown under the top flap of a bergan, or strapped on with the waist and leg strap. usually never gets used for anything other than the GSR

Got one a few years ago. Id like to get it to ride without hanging away from the belt.

Hi Bex, hope you are well. I have one of these. I find it great to hang from the chest strap D rings of your ruck sack with a pair of carabiners, as a chest pack/ rig. Helps to balance you out, too, and easy to detach when needed. All the best.👍🏾😉🇬🇧

If you don't mind me asking we're did you purchase your belt and yoke set up 👍

Good piece of kit Bex , thanks for sharing YAH bless mate !

One of the best bags. Backpack or EDC... I have three as a hip belt with the yoke. A lot fits in there.

Hi bex, wondering what happened to your channel... How's ya back doing mate.?? Great to see you again 👍😎

Hi Bex. Hope you are well. These boots were really common, in the early ‘80’s. I bought a couple of pairs for beach fishing down Chesil in Dorset. Great boots for shingle, as nothing would get caught in the treads. I probably only paid a fiver for them back then as, like you say, they were not the comfiest of boots, but fine if you just wanted something to throw on. Hope you are well, all the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

Good video Bex , nice find , thanks for sharing YAH bless mate !

I think there's a bit of a mindset thing with it, Most people load up a pack with the idea of 'I carry it from here to here and back', Whereas the military outlook is 'I carry it to here, then here, then leave nonessentials at the harbour and continue on further...' You need your guts with you and can manage to function perfectly well without the fluff. Belt order is guts, Bergen is fluff... 😂🤘

Neat

Hello Bex ! Question: Is there a difference in size / hight between a waterbottle and a utility pouch ? I have the crusader Mk I cooker and like to hear which pouch you recommend ! Atb from Germania Juergen

I like Hipbelts and Webbing58. I never go out without

Love this bit of kit - I modded mine by putting a 3/4 length zip down it, made it so much quicker and easier getting in and out. Used your video on your other channel for reference - thanks pal

Nice video mate - I actually put together and started using my webbing after watching one of your videos last year. Rather than having all that weight on my shoulders its such a pain reliever to have it on my hips! Always get one or two comments from people about 'preparing for a war' etc yeah yeah whatever to them! Keep the content coming, really enjoy it. Cheers pal

Good looking kit Bex , thanks for sharing, YAH bless mate !

BUFFALO SPECIAL 6 SHIRT. Overview & Brew....bexbugoutsurvivor th-cam.com/video/hLKjw8zOplA/w-d-xo.html

IPK stakes are great! I also use the sheet, cut down, as a lightweight groundsheet. Weighs nothing, folds down small. Winner.

Good video Bex, thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !

How would you clean these inside and outside? Could use regular laundry detergent?

The new pcs stuff is crap I always go for these when I can find them very hard to find now at a reasonable price

The softie I have has a Velcro storm flap

These are the best wear mine all winter with just a t shirt on under it Most I have been out in is -5 and was still warm

I agree, love this smock but wish like you that it had hand pockets. I have the later version with zip in both DPM and DDPM but like the overhead version best👍🏾😊

Good video Bex , thanks for sharing YAH bless mate !

I’ve got both, love it, not expensive, really warm and useful! Great stuff!👍

I have one, i think that is the best smock of all👍

My DPM MVP trousers have zips and Velcro on legs ?

be good if it was just the size of a nalgene bottle.

they certainly will have had a good test lately 🌧️

Also do not let your partner tumble dry your Gore-Tex... 🤦

I got a brand new one and I can't get mine to cinch up small. I didn't have this issue with the old style one I had years back.

I finally found one here in the usa. Basically in like new condition. Red mp badge, and obviously the union jack. These are very hard to find in like new/new condition, atleast in my area of the world. Also found a name tape, pencil, and a AA battery in the pockets 😂. I can never find them in crap condition even in my size (medium) , so I HAD to buy this when I saw it today. Said $60.99 on the tag, but when she rang it up it said $39.99.

Ey up. I own the trousers and also the newer MTP waterproof jacket and whilst I think they're great, cheap to buy and certainly keep you dry (if looked after) I do find one downside, they're definitely not as breathable as my gore-tex pro jacket... but then I only paid £35 for the MTP waterproof jacket as opposed to £400 for my gore-tex pro jacket so there's definitely many benefits to the military issue ones.

Good video Bex , thanks for sharing YAH bless mate !

Also got both, Bombproof! 😊👍

Found your other channel 'bex bugout survivor'' and subbed both .

This sort of stuff was 'GUCCI Kit' when I was in, the only drawback is you cant do admin in them like you can under a poncho in bad weather, they appeared about the time of the 'bouncing bomb' sleeping bags and were in OG rather than DPM when they were 1st issued at least in my unit, but blokes preferred to buy their own ones that had a zip down the side for a quick exit for the usual reason :/

there's an in service autobiographical book Falklands Commando written by sn Officer in 29 battery (Royal Marines) Royal Artillery, very informative about operating in the terrible climactic conditions etc on the back cover it had a 'subtitle' Green Slugs (bivvy bags) and rat packs, this was a reference to the sight of the Commandos bivvied up on the reverse slope overlooking Stanley on the last night

I have a full softie set, but just the top in the new version, never actually seen any trousers though online, at least, not that I’m aware of. How come the new version isn’t as warm, what kit does a soldier wear to make up for the difference in warmth? I got mine for winter camping, although I’ve just invested in a Savotta TST thermal cloak, the insulated one (67g/m2), I figured I’d wear it in camp instead of the softie suit- it is about 100grams less in weight, but, it means I can take a lot lighter sleeping bag because the thermal cloak is also an insulated bivi bag, so I’m saving at least 1.1kg or more, also the the thermal cloak is fully waterproof in the rain (the zip isn’t so you have to sort of fold it around you to prevent ingress. The plus side of the zip is, it lets condensation out when using as a bivi, so although it’s not breathable material, it’s not at all as bad as you would thing it would be, condensation wise).

Will they ship to Ireland? Please.

Cos the campsites are all booked out((

If I try to sleep in this at the TT races, Will I die?

Great piece of kit Bex , thanks for sharing YAH bless mate !

Looks good Bex , thanks for sharing YAH bless mate !

My favourite bit of kit.May I ask how you fixed the toggle?

I often camp in the back of my landy and wouldnt go anywhere without the softie as my sleeping kit

Great kit Bex , thanks for sharing , God bless mate !
