The British military also produced a similar assault vest in time for D-Day, but again it proved very unpopular with the troops, so it's use was also discontinued.
Some USGI pattern gear was also made in England during the war using the same canvas material common to Pattern 38 equipment, along with Brit pattern snap studs and marked “British Made”
The D rings on web gear were for mounting 1928 packs, or musette bags. The musette could be worn as a stand alone item, but would be very tight. Late in the war more troops were mechanized, especially in Europe. So, you get the gunslinger style. No suspenders, musette bags hung off vehicles, etc. There were also 2 types of grenade carriers. One held 3 grenades in horizontal sections, secured via snaps. The other held 6 and was intended to be folded in half until the grenades were to be deployed. Needless to say, these weren't as popular as the 3 rounder. For my money, the U.S. 1937 gear, with a musette bag, was the best gear of WW 2. Light, quiet, simple to use. And comfortable. When well adjusted, it's more like wearing a jacket than a pack system. I'd love to build a set using modern materials.
@@giguy9355 Was super surprised to see that a video of this quality was the only one you had on the channel! It's seriously good stuff, hope you still plan on uploading more!
Great video, i like how you layed it all out in a very simple yet deeply informative way. Very intresting! :) (If I had to show only 1 youtube video to expalin the US equipment in WW2 this would be it.)
The canteen set shown doesn't have the canteen stove. I have never seen a canteen stove in any WW2 movie or in my quartermaster catalog. Yet every mention of the canteen stove says it was used in WW2. My uncle in the air force gave me a new canteen set with everything but the stove. I wonder when it really came out, I only learned about it in the 1980s.
The history of the canteen cup stand/stove is murky, to say the least. It seems that it was developed apace of Trioxane fuel tablets. If you ask me, some snuffy came up with it, and it caught the attention of the Quartermaster Corps. I have 2, both marked U.S. The ssn has been obliterated on my currently used one due to the drilling of extra vent holes. I'm a user, not a collector.
Re WW2, the only stove from that era, used by the U.S. forces was a folding wing type with a receptacle for round hexamine fuel tabs. The wings folded out to support a C ration can. Of course, a canteen cup would work as well. I had one, and a tube of 6 tabs. Steve 1989 demonstrated one marked U.S.M.C. I meant to say only solid fuel stove, etc. Of course we had other types, the mountain stove for instance.
Good stuff. I would love to see a video of the loadout of troops issued shotguns. I know they were rare and hardly used but it would be interesting to see how their gear differed and how they handled the challenges of the larger heavier ammo.
Thanks for great video. 7:53 I"m pretty sure that's a photo from the Korean War 1950-53. I mean WW2 stuff was still used mostly. I expected see more A-frame in the photo.
I enjoyed your video. I have the WW2 m1936 musette bag. Inside of the bag there is a loop of canvas at the top, do you possibly know what it was used for?
There was a mention that it held the three polse for the shelter half. But no solid proof. When I tried it the pole ends stuck out the sides of bag. Besides, the poles were to be wrapped in shelter half to make tent roll. Amazing that no veterans could tell what it was for, no manual shows use of. I asked a maker of repo bags what it was for, he couldn't tell me either. I do know the razor box fits perfect.
@@gijr2003Thank you for your reply. Like you, I have asked the only two makers that I know of, in the U.S. that make reproductions. And they couldn’t tell me either. Someday I would like to talk to someone who might be able to tell me. Until then it will just have to remain one of life’s little mysteries.
NO. M1 carbines were issued with a pouch for 2×15 round magazines. This could be mounted on the butt stock, or slipped onto the belt. Carbines were intended for officers and troops whose primary duties didn't call for them to carry ammo for Garands or B.A.R. So there proper equipment belt would be the belt, pistol, dismounted, 1936. No fixed pouches. There was no pouch for 30 round mags, as those were a later development.
Alright. Tryna figure it out is driving me batshit. The song at approximately 7:00 I've heard it before. 99.99% sure it was the main menu music in a game i played way back, but I can't figure out which one. Edit: nevermind. I sniffed it out. Medal of honor vanguard.
The US army also had the advantage of being much more easy going about what they wore in the field. Seems that if it worked for them, practicality overruled smartness and uniform appearance.
History light. :( There are better videos out there that actually do take the time and break down the personal gear. The lack of context and comparison between the WWI gear and the Gear of WWII is bothersome. It is as if this was made for people with short attention spans. The use of pictures is questionable. This is all "tell" and not nearly enough "show."

1:48 I love how happy he is
-Drops a great video
-Refuses to elaborate
-Dissapears
Dang bro he stop posting he really had something
That’s what I’m saying, it makes me sad, I really wanna know if he’s just okay.
@@militaryMJB1945 doubt anything happened he probably just got out of the Hobby of WWII/military
@@Kenner_konnor that’s true
Amazing video filled with details, no fillers or junk.
The British military also produced a similar assault vest in time for D-Day, but again it proved very unpopular with the troops, so it's use was also discontinued.
How about a talk about the Army's mules??

Awesome, short, sweet, simple, and to the point.
I never hesitated to watch your video when I heard the iconic M1 Garand ping sound as the intro.
~Subsciber No.52
It video was what I have been looking for. Especially the ending. Mix and match, different shades of kaki and OD.
Can you discuss the WWII gear for horses. Both allies and axis
keep making videos my guy, your said everything i needed to know plus more.

So any idea what the Loop in the M1936 Musette bag is for? I have one and I am curious.
Why would this man make such a good video and then just disappear?
Nice start, Dough, keep ‘em coming.
Incredible video! Would love to see a similar video addressing uniforms
Such a underrated channel keep up the great work and you’ll be big in no time!
Excellent vid! Great info!
Man, that's underrated. Looking foward for future videos! Came via Fishyyy...
Thank you so much. This is the most concise yet detailed vid I have found on the subject.
That means a lot! And I promise I'll put out more soon!
@@giguy9355 Was super surprised to see that a video of this quality was the only one you had on the channel! It's seriously good stuff, hope you still plan on uploading more!
Thanks G.I. Guy. Nicely done. Any thoughts on pistol belt set ups for carbine users, etc?
Great info and great vid!! Looking forward to seeing more in the future!
bro never uploaded ever since
could you do a video on uniforms too? HBTs confuse me.

Yeah, plus I had questions about the M1936 Musette bag. Oh well.
Good stuff. I would love to see a video of the loadout of troops issued shotguns. I know they were rare and hardly used but it would be interesting to see how their gear differed and how they handled the challenges of the larger heavier ammo.
@Average_Historianthis is not hell let loose shotguns were used by MPs in the stockade in the ETO
Can't wait to see more!
Why didn't you make more videos. This one was so well put together and informative. You quit?
Thanks, I always wondered where most of my gear came from!
Great start on TH-cam GI Guy. I'm in new subscriber.
Thanks for great video.
7:53
I"m pretty sure that's a photo from the Korean War 1950-53. I mean WW2 stuff was still used mostly. I expected see more A-frame in the photo.
Ever thought of making a video on USGI personal items?
I am just to say using the blitzkrieg music. Very good choice ;)
Please do a video on the use of rifle grenades.
Simply outstanding video!
Excellent video! Thank you...
This is very good and interesting well done sir!
Bruhh soo good. Why not more videos?
Love the video can't wait for more
Good, very good.
We need more videos man. Can you do one on the North African campaigns?
Very nicely done video.
Awesome video.

Can I desplay my M1928 haversack on a manaquin wareing an M43 Jacket?
Yes of course
Great overview! Thanks. Keep them coming 🇦🇺👴🏻
Can you carry m1 carbine mags inside of the regular cartridge pouches?
NO. M1 carbines were issued with a pouch for 2×15 round magazines. This could be mounted on the butt stock, or slipped onto the belt. Carbines were intended for officers and troops whose primary duties didn't call for them to carry ammo for Garands or B.A.R. So there proper equipment belt would be the belt, pistol, dismounted, 1936. No fixed pouches. There was no pouch for 30 round mags, as those were a later development.
The Garand had an 8 round clip not 10.
Great video
deserves more subs
Alright. Tryna figure it out is driving me batshit. The song at approximately 7:00 I've heard it before. 99.99% sure it was the main menu music in a game i played way back, but I can't figure out which one.
Edit: nevermind. I sniffed it out. Medal of honor vanguard.
So what color was toilet paper , please tell me there was tp. I've heard it was first issued to Napoleon s calvary.
Packed in K and C rations. Go to Steve 1989 for more. Steve is the best reviewer out there. LOL, we're still using the same format for T.P.
Thank you.
My guy you should really post more
Very good
>drop banger
>leave
It's sad to see this is his only video
Well done! Hope to see you out at some events soon

Unless Patton caught them
@@spm36 Oh yes. He had a fine dividing line between casual and sloppy - ! 😆
Sound track, please.
One and done ?
