    I've mentioned this before, but "survival" gear was virtually useless in 'Nam. You were going to be either rescued or captured/killed within a few minutes to at most a few hours. The vest I wore was trimmed down to little more than signalling devices. Two radios, signal mirror, flares, smoke grenade, strobe light, and signal panels (nylon strips). That's about all. Even my .38 revolver was loaded with tracer rounds to be used as signal flares.

      If you still have it, be careful, these knives were made with a defect in the tang (metal part of the blade in the handle) which warps and corrodes overtime due to the leather breaking down around it which makes the metal even more bendable then it already is, it's super easy to break now, I wouldn't use it for anything since the handle will be the first part to bend, a simple jab on the cutting board would probably snap

    I grew up in the late 1960’s - early 1970’s, and much of the items in this kit, although was around, much was “high-tech” for the time. For example, in the 1960’s, Velcro was real cutting edge, NASA type stuff. I remember that Neosporin was available only by doctor’s prescription. Some of the oral meds were available over the counter.
    I grew up in suburban Washington, DC and remember seeing some of this stuff around, with military and NASA people living all over the place. I remember the fishing kits,, and as I remember the item you identified as an artificial bait, I thought I remembered that being a strip of lead weight, as the large chinch weight was pretty heavy. Oh yeah, the line was either 30-50 lb test Dacron line.
    Solar stills were huge in the Boy Scouts, and every survival class was taught by active duty military or someone from NASA in suburban DC.
    I’m surprised a Mylar space blanket wasn’t in the kit.
    It might be noted that many of the people developing kits such as these, or passing judgement on kits such as these were veterans of WWII or the Korean War.
    Lastly, the flare kits were advertised in the back of every magazine even remotely of interest to men or boys during the late 60’ and 1970’s.
    Excellent review and overview of the contents.

    • @ValutDweller
      @ValutDweller 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      How do you find the utility value of the spices in the kit? Was it to boost morale of the soldier being out there in the jungle, eating tasteless food that he needed to catch all by himself, alone? I was very surprised to see such 'exclusive' items in a survival kit - in the end, it adds to the total weight and volume of a kit that is designed to increase your chances of survival, not having a great time in the woods/jungle.

    I've got a PRC-90 radio, the version of the RT-10 that was used in the chest pack. There are modern Lithium-ion batteries available if you want to get it powered up again. Just make sure you know how to switch it to receive only mode since it will start broadcasting a tone on 243.0 MHz as soon as the antenna is pulled out, and that's still an international distress frequency today. ARG! I just saw your Prick-90. You are broadcasting on 243.0 MHz . It's a guard frequency monitored by all commercial and military aircraft. If an airplane is flying overhead and picks up that signal you're going to at least get a search and rescue mission generated in the area, even if no units are sent out. Best to leave it turned off until you're sure that signal isn't broadcasting.

      @@skoopsro7656 Well, it's not likely to be a problem for a few seconds unless our hero is really unlucky, but it's not the kind of thing you want to leave on for minutes at a time. An airliner passing over at 30,000 feet could pick up the tone as far as 50 miles out, so there's a chance that things could go pear shaped if it's picked up. As you may tell from the first three letters of my screen name, I spent some time chasing false alarms from these things.
      Rex, glad you learned something about a rather obscure subject.

    During my first tour in Iraq I was voluntold to assist one of the S3 guys flying the Raven drone. So I had to go out with him late at night for 4-5 hours and assist him with setting up the drone but also launching and retrieving it. After a couple of times having to hunt for this thing at night I decided I needed to try to make a couple of changes to this drone. 1 I velcroid a IR beacon to it. This was a small IR flasher I had that was supposed to clip to my uniform so it was pretty small and light weight. The 2nd thing I attached to it was a strope light. I mounted the light to the body on the opposite side of the IR beacon so the weight was evenly distributed on the drone. And then I taped chem lights under the wings so when it was closer to us we could start to see it. But the drone flew high enough up in the sky that even on calm days the chem lights couldn't be seen. The strobes all faced up so from the ground you didn't see them. The drone could actually carry a decent payload and still have plenty of battery to do its mission. These modifications made retrieval of the drone ALLOT easier than before. Often cutting 30 minutes out of our time. The reason I am sharing this is because the survival beacon with this kit is just a little bit bigger than the one I was issued when I went to Iraq. And damn near the same shape and style. So it kinda took me by surprise to see this and realize the one I was issued would have been easily identified during Vietnam lol. The OTHER 10+ year war. I served a total of 3.5 yrs in Iraq and now I feel like all of my time there was wasted like that of the guys who went to Vietnam. We all struggled and fought for each other. But in the end our efforts were wasted and pointless thanks to vote hungry politicians and Generals in the pentagon kissing every ass sitting on more funding. While the people in the trenches and battlefields pay the price. I will never say my time in Iraq was even remotely as shitty or hard as what the guys in Vietnam went through. Infact its always difficult to have those guys thank me when I came home on leave or from a tour. They deserve my thanks and respect. Not the other way around. Myself and my fellow soldiers did have our share of death and fighting. But it pales compared to guys who saw the kind of combat that makes you wonder how anyone lived through it.

If you need to test outside this range, coordinate with Flight Services or a nearby FAA Control Tower. BTW 121.5 MHz is obsolete and unmonitored.

    I was told by an old Nam combat medic that were issued superglue in a spray can to close wounds.

      They still use it or something similar. So call "instant bandages" or "invisible bandages" etc. for small cuts.

      There’s this stuff they sell at the pharmacy that’s called liquid bandages, you just paint it on with a little brush. It’s basically superglue, I’m sure they have a spray version too!

    May I suggest Mr Carlsons Lab, as a collab, to restore the non working radio. The man takes things seriously and will get the radio working to standards batter than factory using standard practice, should you wish, or you could request to keep it in the realms of "ready to go and functional".
    I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but I respect what he does, and I reckon he'd use period correct hardware to diagnose issues, I think he may get a little kick out of it :)

      @Warstar Well, true, I was thinking primarily of sitting in the cockpit and staying by your aircraft's wreckage because that is what they were suppossedly ordered to do, if you had to walk anywhere it'd be a pain but if you can just signal a rescue team it'd be better. You could always use the rope provided to sling it over your shoulder, as it's not going to get in the way while piloting and I'd rather have something strapped to my thigh while sitting than a vest puffing out my chest.

The Finnish MRE was great as well. Surprised they didn’t vary the flavor more between the lunch and dinner mains. I really enjoy your vids and learn a ton. Thanks again. Looking forward to your next uploads. Cheers!
