Nice video! I think the emphasis on carrying things that are light like you said is very important. Newcomers to the hobby are very keen on cramming as much shit as you possibly can in your breadbag. It doesn't seem like a bad idea when you're looking at all of your goodies laid out but once you start to spend meaningful time wearing it, you soon come to realize that all that extra stuff really does add up weight. I attended a 4 day long DAK reenactment in Texas a year ago, and in anticipation of the rather harsh climate I took it upon myself to fully stock my breadbag so I would have absolutely everything I needed in the desert. I soon realized during our first patrol, that what I had on me was far beyond what was necessary as well as weighing way too much. Always take into account how much your other gear weighs, as well as accounting for a full canteen. Ounces really do equal pounds. Two pieces of advice are... 1: Eliminate redundancy; Rope is a perfect example of a multi purpose item, plus its nice and light. Things like carrying silverware when you also have a göffel in your pocket or several different types of snacks are things that add on unnecessary weight without providing much in terms of usefulness. This is probably the most difficult to iron out, but its up to you to determine what you will need to keep. 2: Eliminate unnecessary items; You don't need to carry those SKAT cards or that shaving kit with you in the field. Don't have your mess kit on patrol but carrying an Esbit stove for some reason? Carry only the essentials to the mission. But my best bit of advice is don't treat your breadbag like its a tornister/rucksack! 7:59 says it best. Cheers friend!

Cheers! I'm glad that more exprienced re-enactors like you are out there to provide this info to newcomers. Most of us learn the hard way. This is, of course, one of the lessons that re-enactment can teach us. No collector out there can tell you how it feels to drag multiple kilos of redundent gear with you for days, but it sure as hell looks cool in a museum. Thank for taking the effort of sending this comment 💪🏻

I put bread in my bread bag. You can also pot some things in the mess kit. I always put liverwurst in the butter dish.

Good of you to mention the essgeschirr as storage space! Missed that in the video 😅

Main thing everyone should take away from this is that if you’re portraying a German soldier in WW2 …. For god’s sake, fill your bread bag with SOMETHING….your bread bag should not look like some kind of deflated mud flap….. FILL IT !

Could you do a video on erkennungsmarke stamping/abbreviations etc? It's an underappreciated item for being such an integral part of kit

Don't use original items. Rather be a little farb then to destroy history. So extremely selfish just because you want to look better

@@SovereignRoseNo, like I have things from WW2. I got two original WW2 finnish mess kits (almost same as German ones). For example, if id use that green one in re-enactment the initials that are carved on top of it would fade away, the paint would ripp off and it would get scratches and dents that arent original. Also a real kochgeschirr broken during the wartime is a piece of history, but a original kochgeschirr broken in re-enactment is destoyed piece of history. You can get a replica helmet, age it and maje it battle worn looking, but not an original for an example. You can even shoot the replica to make it look like it saw acction. I hope you see where I'm going with this, its important to understand how irreplaceaple pieces of history are, and how we should all play our own part on keeping historical things safe. Btw no hate my friend, I hope you understand my point and learn from what I said, you seem like a smart man. Take care.
