I'm an aircraft mechanic in the USAF. FOD is Foreign Object Debris, which could mean screws, hardware, rocks, etc that could damage an aircraft engine or get lodged in a flight control to jam it. Those coveralls had sealing pockets (velcro, zippers, or buttons) to keep hardware from falling out.

Looks like a lot of fun in that box. Thanks for making this!

This was hilarious! Very cool stuff and you presented fantastically. Thanks for the education and humour Tell.

Great video. Thanks

David Clark muffs are great I picked up a pair 30 years ago and still use them at the range.

Those desert boots with thick treads are indeed for de mining operations to minimize injuries from anti personnel and IEDs.

Good video thankyou for your service

I ❤️ surplus! Keep making these videos!

Brown gloves are flyers gloves and the white nomex gloves are the inserts for them. The camo pattern on the winter whites is someone took their laundry bag as a stencil and added some slight camo. The white ties on the winter white top is probably a sniper adding attachments for winter ghillie cam. Green mittens were part of the cold weather gloves system along with the shooter mittens , all old 1950’s stock that I got issued in the late 90’s. The black gloves are the pilots cold weather flight gloves.

I remember being told the Mark 3 boots were actually Kodiak Grebs, but they certainly don't match modern Grebs. One of my favourite boots of all time

The kit bag without the tab for the zipper can be easily remedied by putting a thin zap strap through the knob part. Good as new.

What a crazy haul....🎉🎉

I’m on my second pair of mk5 Royer boots. I wear them when working in our broiler chicken barn and during the summer. The rest of the time I wear mk4 boots when not in dunlops.

FOD is foreign object damage. Its an air force term for something going down the engine or getting dropped etc into an aircraft and causing damage to the aircraft. The overalls don't have buttons that can fall off into an aircraft and all fasteners are probably velcro. When you go into an aircraft hanger you will always be told to "DE-FOD" by taking everything out of your pockets and removing anything that could drop or fall off you and Bury itself in an aircraft

Those black winter rubber covers should work great to waterproof mukluks during wet cold periods. Do they fit over the mukluk shell or as a replacement to the shell?

I have the hot weather safety boot that has the vent dots on the upper, Never seen the model for sale often but they're awesome, My buddy had them before me and it's they've had about 5 years between us. Also, The Heli suit stuff you got is Fire Resistant, Made of nomex

The 1954 leather mittens was what you wore as an outer layer above the wool “salt & pepper” mitts during winter exercises as a work glove when you did not require the arctic mitts.

I think someone in the QM at 424 Sqn is looking at all the helicopter pants going... hey wait a minute... lol Nice find in the bivvy and the sleeping bags.

The steel toed boots seem to have a common failure in the tread coming away from the boot. I picked up a pair of them, and both boots had the tread pull away. Fixed it up nicely with a product off of Amazon called "Shoe Goo" Once applied, my boots were as good as new. Not sure how much the boots 'should' cost new, but I picked them up from a surplus shop for under $70, and the shoe goo was another $15.

On my trip to to Canada i regret not picking a pair of those ecw coveralls, they were my size and everything

Great hall once again Tell. That 82 patterned ruck, how do you clean it up? Nate

A boot rundown would be interesting.

The tall black boots with the zipper and leather string in the back are women's dress boots. We ordered them from Logistik with our points. The gloves with black leather palms and brown outer were issued to the air force. Not bad for driving but don't keep your hands warm in northern AB!

I enjoy these videos. Actually, I enjoy all your videos. 🤔 You should post more often... I find militsry surplus clothing is usually so small - I guess military age guys then to be thinner and smaller than me. That said, I'd love to buy a pair of mukluks.

Bit late to this video, but I recently bought a crate from Trenton also, and got a bunch of helicopter tactical pants. I want to know what those two plastic clips are in the pockets... any idea?

Good hall bro. Ya. Do a boot vid. Thank you for the video. Cheers 🍻

I think the only bivy maker I have ever seen was Mustang. Ill have to check the two I have left whenever I get home.

I wanna see the boot list!

those " old style " combat boots were little more than a 2x4 wrapped in leather !

Ziplock bags. Hack to keep your mess kit clean after meal.

Google tells me that FOD in work wear / safety clothing stands for Foreign Object Debris

Shalom. The reason some of those boots are failing. Are they made by Georgia Boot.

What is the government surplus website called?

F R was fire resistant. The leather mittens were removing hot barrels ? Lol

i wouldn't mind having one of those bibs/(you called it cover all) waist size 36.

fr is fire resistant

How do you purchase the surplus boxes?

does canada have an equivalent to the US m1956 field suspenders?

Where can I contact you about the helicopter pants/shirts?

Gota a extra set of extreme cold weather bibs? I am 6,4 240lbs

Thank you for helping Ukraine

FOD: "Foreign Object Damage" or "Foreign Object Debris". Is any object, particle, substance, debris or agent that is not where it is supposed to be.

Looks like the best of the lot was the used underwear.

Skivey role, socks and underwear

Smith goggles

Boot Video please!

Getting value for money with the boots is what it's all a-boot.

I have a pair of the IED Boots, My cousin who served in Afghanistan with the Canadian Army told me they are for IED's.

FOD = Foreign Object/Debris

Interested in selling the 73-44 cold weather parka? PM sent on FB.

Your sizes are the same as Australian military

Gcsurplus must be a inside bidders to raise the price or the idiot bidders don’t do their homework before start bidding. For example other day 2010 dodge caravan with 90k km went for $6500.00 crappy look, same van on kijiji and auto trader in mint condition with safety for $4300 149k km

Нelp Ukraine, please. Thank you. God bless you.

Those 1951 leather mittens were made by a Canadian company based out of Winnipeg (Raber?) and were issued during the Korean War.🇨🇦🫡🇨🇦
