Vietnam Load Bearing Equipment

[Aragorn243]

I've noticed a lot of the Vietnam items are going for more than the WWII stuff these days.

I never really collected it, didn't have a strong interest in it but I've been running across it more often lately and getting it cheap so figured why not. I've assembled 3 helmets and this web gear in the past year along with getting a set of jungle fatigues. Mostly at yard sales and flea markets but some of the helmet accessories were eBay purchases.

I'm also looking at Desert Storm stuff as that was my war and I didn't think much about it at the time. Can't trust a lot of this stuff however because anything Iraqi is labeled as Desert Storm and most of it is from the second war with Iraq.

It's never too early to be ahead of the curve. Chocolate Chip (Desert Battle Dress) camo is still plentiful and cheap. I'm hanging on to 3 sets of unissued Woodland for if and when it becomes rare, though probably not in my lifetime.
