@@Panzer_Runner Now I cannot unsee it 🤣

@@tinaann3323 Do you think you will be able to get one?

@@StuBlogs yes 😁 hope you had a good day.

@Truffle1947 cheers mate yes fantastic couple of days trains and parade Saturday and 8 coach trips Sunday and walked up through twon in the parade Sunday 👍

If you get down to any events I am at then come and say hi. You are right about the strip down completely. I was not having this display as a living history camp though as such. I wanted it to be more just a weapon display but with a nice dressing if that makes sense? But you are right :D

@@Truffle1947 It makes perfect sense to me and its a good little show to do it at too, I used to go with a far east 14th army set up but i'm giving American a go now. Gradually getting everything together ready. Will definitely say hi when our paths cross, we are not far from each other.

@@XploreNorfolk Yes certainly do. I do a lot of events out this way so you will run into me sooner or later :D

Thanks Steve :D Pretty ammazing that it is all transported in one Jeep with its little trailer to :D

@@Truffle1947 Merry Christmas, see you in 2025😀

@@SteveMrW Haha yes! I suppose it is that time of year pretty much now

@@slandimore excellent information. I knew it had to be something to do with fuel boiling but I did not know the specifics. This is great to know. Explains the behaviour totally.

Green dot 319 has touched on this subject. I don’t know if setting the float up better may help but I think it heat soaks and boils over.

@@chrispig7748 great 😁 Which one are you going to?

@@Truffle1947 hope to go to Avoncroft museum October 12,13.

@@chrispig7748 I hope you have a good time. It is not one I have heard of.

Found it in classic military vehicle magazine

@@chrispig7748 Nice one. You will have to let me know how it goes :D

@@41st_reenactor_1 Thanks 😁 How come you guys do not do Holt anymore?

@@Truffle1947 not to sure. I believe it’s kinda far away

@@41st_reenactor_1 they did do it once a few years back.

@@bb-ballistics1706 glad to hear they are upgrading them

I thought I would speed it up a bit as I have assembled webgear so many times in videos that I thought people might be getting sick of it :D

@@keithosborne1730 Thanks. I will be on the field near the spitfire 👍

@@XploreNorfolk I had no idea you could do that!

@@ChrisfurrsMilitaria1941 No. The British ones normally have snaps instead of lift the dots from what I can tell. But inside its marking are still pretty clear 😍

@@andrewscott7485 I have no idea whats wrong with it. I think it is just knackered. I dont have a mag for it either. I used to airsoft to. Ukara is not really relevant to me. Most of my guns are deacs which anyone can buy just because they want to have them. And if any shops need a "defence" then I just show them a picture of the Jeep 😂 Ukara is not really relevant to reenacting unless you are trying to buy airsoft guns.

@@Truffle1947 Probably the hammer being to worn down to push the pin far enough into the percussion cap, they grind down pretty quickly as does the pin itself if the pistol itself hasnt shat itself before then. Have had a fair few over the years, all do the same eventually.

@@XploreNorfolk I know that they are known for being pretty unreliable

@@chrispig7748 The webgear is very heavy duty. But I think the real answer is that in a way thet dint. It will of gotten battered out in the field. One of the field manuals covers keeping your webgear in god order. Im sure I saw that mentioned in one of my manuals. But I am sure that in reality therevis only so much you can do in combat conditions. As for the soliders themselves. Well there were stronger men than me that is for sure!

Maybe it is just how it comes accross on the camera? It fits nice. If anything a tat tight around the gut! I do have another one that is the next size down but that is really to tight oh me. I just need to loose some weight. They are both miltech ones. Yes I am very lucky to have a wartime pattern M1919A6 :D

@@Truffle1947 I agree that the jacket does look rather long on you. The cut makes it look more like the arctic M41 than a normal field jacket. Never tried one myself but in the US groups I have not seen anyone say much good about Mil-tec M41s, preferring ATF, WPG, or even the Bronson brand ones.

@@prinzalbatross9526 The latest ATF ones are sadly horrible now. Everything they did right before they have ruined. Best bet is WW2IMP, Bronson, WPG or original. in my humble opinion. Tbh the latest miltecs are not bad. They definently win over ATF's atm.

@@prinzalbatross9526 I will keep an eye out for some other brands and see what difference there is. I know I cant go a size down that is for sure 😔

@@blastbri1997 Really about the ATF ones? I've seen lots of complaints/ disappointment that they don't do wool lining to "save the consumer some money" but I haven't heard anything beyond that. The lining is why I don't have one myself. I have the second to latest WPG run and love it except for the pockets being low and the lining getting loose and baggy because I machine washed and dried the jacket but that's on me. I also have a Bronson and really like it, no complaints from me but the lining may be too green for someone's taste. However I don't think that's inaccurate, og lining color probably varies a bit. My only real complaint about WWII Imp is the cost. Sure the quality is probably some of the best but it's almost prohibitive to get more than one or two items from them when there are plenty of cheaper, still good quality vendors out there.

Thanks mate. If you check in my videos I am sure I did a video when I put together my BAR kit :D

@@anonymous4201 I have 3 of them now. I converted one to have an LED bulb in. They are good. But be careful with them when they have fuel in as the filling port is not very well sealed so do not over fill whatever you do because it will leak. But they are good. Worth 7 quid!

@@JoonaWolf Thanks. Pretty neat little setup I think 😁

Hey. Yes mate. I have spoken to him several times over the years to :) The Solex is still on the Jeep and for now that is running fine on it :D

Not completely. I do have a few photos of paratroopers wearing glasses. But certainly very uncommon.

@@ginojaco HAHA Well never had that happen before but thinking about it I guess it was just a matter of time 🤔😁

I assume you will be joining me for the camping 🤔

Never say never fungus hunter!😂

@@martin9711 I should chance the name to fungus hunters living history

Yeh! Or some fungus field cooking “Truffles rustles , up food on his bustle “ (rack) that a actually nearly rhymed 😉

The day time stuff should be totally fine. It is jsut the camping stuff that might be a problem.

Thanks. Hopefully it all works out :D

I recon the over night stuff will be more than cool. It is going to be freezing 🥶

What country are you in mate? I got my replica 50cal and of a chap called Chris Golding but he has stopped making them. The gun pedestal in the Jeep was in the garage of a cha[stle rack is made by allied forces canvas. It just hangs on is strapped down. Real bustle racks were all made in the field and were many different version. I have seen a photo of one which was just built from a front door of a house a solider had pulled off.

@@Truffle1947 Hi bud! Thanks fr the fast reply. I'm in Portugal. The nearest source for a pedestal, with or without the Ma Deuce, is Jeep Sud Est but oh boy! SILLY expensive. I found a film props bloke in England does the Ma Deuce at a super price but it's another £450 to get it over because the law states it has to be flown plus you have custom clearances to contend with as well. The Jeep Sud Est option therefore wins even though it's so expensive. But I'm not sure the mount is anything like yours as there didn't seem to be much cast component on it. I think it does have the can tray at the side though. Interesting about the bussel! Did your complete Ma Deuce canvas come from the same Allied Forces Canvas?

@@martinjf467 No my 50cal canvas is an original. So is the pedestal and the gun cradle. If that pedestal in England is from who I think it is then don't waste your time :)

They are impressive tanks in person.

You are welcome. There is still a couple more to come before the whole museum has been covered :D

Because I am not. Enjoy your day. Great comments. Don't bother to leave anymore.

I seem to have more of a clue about it than you do about proper English 🤔 If you are going to be miserable and not even remotely constructive at least do it with a proper sentence😌

Ah Plemieux73..... How to make yourself look an idiot in one sentence 1stly I assume you mean 'no' instead of 'know' as they mean two totally different things 2ndly he is actually very knowledgeable on ww2 US

None of the people portraying the German soliders are German either 🤔

Thanks Tim. Glad you liked it :D

Thanks. Yes it was a good bit of fun :D Not something you get to do every day :D

@@XploreNorfolk yeah sorry I have been a bit rubbish with getting stuff edited. I think I just need to turn off the horizon lock so you get a bit of pivot during the footage so you get a better sense of the uneven ground 😁

@@Truffle1947 The distinctive ammo box adds to the effect, hehe. Oh and no need to apologise for anything at all, quality over quantity. 👍

@@KiloLima we are on the same page here. I found it odd that the carter carb dint do it but both solexes I have used do.

@@chrispig7748 I hopefully will get to go down next Friday. If you make it and see me come and say hi 😁

@@chrispig7748 give me a shout to if you see me in the woods

@@WW2_X2 i am hoping to get down on the Friday. If you see me give me a shout 😁

Ok yeah same im going to be there on Friday until Monday

I am convinced that is the problem with these solex carbs! I keep seeing other Jeeps that are the same which have them fitted.

@@jamesbryant4396 Thanks James. It is a shame that the carb only worked for about a month before I had to send it back 😭

Think thats just an odd angle and the rough hand brushed paint :D

Thanks James. I am far from a professional but I hope it helps people :)

@@chrispig7748 They are a lot of fun to drive. You have to just show them respect or you are going to end up in trouble. The gears are not to bad as they are not total crash boxes. As long as they are kept maintained you can have a lot of fun with them.

@@Truffle1947 cheers!

@@ianpeterson6029 Thanks Ian 😁

@@prohypeman thanks ☺️ glad you liked it.

@@andrewhodgson9750 a good number of the vehicles now in the hall are already up to standard and were on display. They simply are now in storage in there after the rework of the new display layout.

Trust you to say that 😏

Thank you for sharing his story 🥰 You cannot imagin being in something like that :(
