May this series never end! With international gear!

I'd like to see a video of the 7200 in the pack for field use. Keep up the good videos.

Whatever mouse killer he's using works well obviously. I really like that cook set thinking about all the stuff you could store inside of it could make life easier on you. I treasure the fact that I have my grandpas kabar he used in WW2 and it will never leave my gun cabinet.

I think it's safe to say, if you bring up an idea for any gear to make a video, don't ask just do it lol. We are all waiting patiently. Thank you for providing ongoing content.

Man, I love old military surplus gear! I wish I bought more of it when it was cheap! Thanks Dave for showing this stuff. I feel old now, because I used all this stuff while serving in the field artillery with the Marine Corps and being in a smaller branch, I was trained in FDC, Forward Observer, Navel Gunfire, and Survey! And every bit of that kit was standard in the 1980’s/90s!😂

Enjoyed seeing the old equipment. They cost more now and they did when they were new.
I really enjoy these videos

The thing about those dry bags is that the positive air pressure is what helps keep it waterproof when doing water crossings. Love your content brother.

I got that radio pack a couple years ago, it’s a awesome pack. Use as a regular pack. Those long side pockets are great for a machete. Been using the 499 survival knife since the late seventies. I have got a collection of them. Been my main knife throughout the eighties, both the Camilus and the Ontario. Used this knife from the Florida Everglades, canoe trips, to the Appalachia Mountains.I’ve had more dirt time with this knife than any other knife I have, still using it today. Back in the day those military waterproof bags were my first piece of gear for our canoe trips. Really enjoying these videos, thanks Dave

Been loving this series.It's like you are listing my favorite gear I've collected over the years. First for myself and now for my kids. I knew you were going to suggest the mountain cook set . What a great piece of gear. I've had mine since I was a teen.

I saw that stove when I was stationed at Ft. Hood in 74 to 77 but I've never been able to find them in a Surplus Store . I bought my Cammenga Compass in Germany at the Downs Barracks Clothing Sales Store in my tour from 84 to 90 . I learned with the Military Issued Cammenga and have never felt the need for anything else .I'm Retired now but I still have my Cammenga.

[Hector-vxyc]

Hi Dave Canterbury, thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge!, lovingly your work my brother!! Be well! 👍🏽💯❤️🇺🇸

[gudgo]

In the military arctic branch, we had a few of them M1942 stoves laying around and we still used them along with the Coleman 533 and a Swedish I think Primus stove. Great stove.😊

[jarodspade]

I would love to see that radio set up pack video. Thank you Dave for your consistently great content

[daveshaw]

Hi Dave, great series really enjoy the information. This one hit home, I own that same stove and had that knife unfortunately at 17 I forgot to lash it in and lost it on an overturned canoe, I'm now 67 so it's been a while. I actually prefer my original Coleman Peak One with the burner ring on top, I could put it on simmer and keep a Kelly Kettle of water going for a weekend. During leadership training events, whenever anyone stopped by camp, we had water ready for coffee, tea or hot chocolate. At one time I owned 17 different types of camp stoves mostly back packing.

Great video I look into the mountain cook set and cook stove. The smell of that dry bag came right back to me as soon as you showed it on video

[dougcfrary]

I got the stove, when about 45 years ago. Took it on many backpacking trips. Still have it. Only issue we had with this and the SVEA, were they were not very efficient at above 10, 000 feet.

I've really enjoyed this series. I was in the Air Force from 1981 to 1992, seeing the transition from OD fatigues to camo, and still have quite a bit of gear from while I was in. One of my favorite items was the canteen cup, which I drank many a cup of coffee out of, not worrying about the danger of using aluminium. I really enjoyed your recommendation on the NBC carrier bag from the first episode, and bought a couple of them from Amazon. I was never aware there was a carrier for the suit, mine was just stuffed loose in my hawk bag for duty everyday, along with my helmet, flak vest, and gas mask. I thought it was a joke having to carry the suit to work, as it was considered "for training use only", as it was opened and worthless had we been hit with NBC agents while out on post during the Cold War stationed in England; we'd have to wait for the brass to send the sealed, working suits to us. Just as laughable to me was the idea that had chemicals had been used, we'd probably be dead anyway, as filters in the gas masks have a limited usefulness in a NBC environment, and the logistical juggling of moving troops from post during a potential ground attack (I was Security Police) to a decon area in order to decon and then to change filters out probably wouldn't be accomplished. But I digress...

I was reading the reviews on Amazon for the bags, which were hilarious to me. Many complaints had to do with the smell of the NBC bags, which if you'd think about how long some of these bags have been in storage (they have Alice clips for crying out loud!), yeah they'll probably have a little smell to them. Aired mine outside in the sun, problem solved. Review taking the cake was someone "not understanding how this bag would provide protection in a NBC environment"! I could imagine this person trying to hold the bag to their face, trying to use it as a gas mask. Anyway, I like the bag to organize items in my back pack, and thank you for showing it.
