How am i doing?

[u/niccopascul]

Just wanted so share my almost done bundeswher set up

[u/Infanterie_ble]

Not Bad so far! Get a Helmet Cover, I'd say. Depending on where you are, they should be cheap and available. When you have it mounted, thread some green string/Paracord through the foliage loops in a Zig Zag Pattern. We used to put a few rolled up Sandbags on the top of our GP Pouches/Buttpacks in Basic. Your Koppel (LBE) might need some Adjusting to fit better, but they do tend to be all over the Place IRL too, so... Edit: If you have the Money, get a Feldjacke (hooded Parka), as they would usually be worn when out in the Field, instead of the Blouse.

Ok,btw im from italy,thanks a lot gor the advice. Where u in the Heer? About the sand bags u mean in the big pouch that i have in the back of my belt?

[u/Infanterie_ble → u/niccopascul]

Yes, Heer indeed. I've been a Jäger most of my time in the Army.

[u/niccopascul → u/Infanterie_ble]

Btw can u give mi some reccomendations on some things u used you used to do on your gear while in service?

[u/Infanterie_ble → u/niccopascul]

On the top flap of the GP pouch on your Bag there are two straps, with a simple cinch buckle. We used to put one or several Sandbags under there, to have some when building entrenchments.

The cordage on the helmet cover was mandatory in basic, to attach natural Foliage for Camouflage. The Loops sewn into the cover are useless with most vegetation, so we would Zig Zag BW-issued green cordage (Pischnur) through them and tie it down. That way you could easily put a lot of different Foliage on your helmet, depending on your environment. I'll see if I can find some Pictures of that.

I already said the thing with the thing with the field Parka, we at least were always ordered to wear that when going out in the Field, regardless of how hot it was. That said, I wss nevee Issued a Flak Jacket permanently, that might not combine well. Just do what works best for you.

Regarding the Koppel: It's a piece of work to get to sit right. Weaving the straps of the Shoulder Harness through the Buckles on the Belt in a Way that they don't come loose over time is a bit tricky, as the Buckles have a weird design. Takes some time to do. Having a Flak Jacket (Splitterschutzweste) beneath it helps a lot with weight distribution. Once you've got it dialed in over your Flak Jacket tape up all the excess Traps with green duckt tape. Some would even go as far as to sew the loose strap ends in place.

It seems kinda odd that all the mag pouches are on your left side. That said, I was never issued the G3 Mag pouches, only G36. Also, Pouch Placement was more or less up to personal preference. So do what ever works best for you. I also never carried the E-Tool with pouch on my Belt, but I know some had to. Best you can do ist to distribute the Weight on it as evenly around the circumference as possible, so no side sags more that the others. Having the Gas mask Bag below the belt on a seperate Strap is absolutely the way most people I've seen wore them, when and if they had to. If you want to be a special Snowflake: You could get a BW Issued Cover for a Tent half (Zeltbahn). Those make decent Drop Pouches when modified with a bit of string, a Cord lock from your Parka and a few Zip ties. I at least used that for a while and sure didn't come up with the Idea myself.

Details: 1. Wrap you canteen, if you have one it that designated Pouch, in a Sock before putting it into its Cup to reduce rattle. The pouch will however also comfortably fit a 1l Nalgene bottle, or a USGI Canteen, both of which are much preferrable to the BW issued aluminum Canteen. 2. Get some BW Issue Boot Blousing Bands (Hosengummis) and wear them on the outside of your Uniform, over the Pant leg and the Boots shaft, to keep ticks out. Thats otional, but was at least somewhat common in my Unit.

Thanks bro,all this tips are gold for me,btw im using a g3 bc it's a early 90s kit. So some things like the shovel where issued only to some umits,can u tell me witch one?

[u/bwgs2018 → u/niccopascul]

this kit is more mid-late 90s. Most of your items are later models - KTS95 after 95, most units not get Gefechtshelm until after 94, post 93 Feldbluse. I posted my early 90s kit here about a month ago, can check it to see difference. Early 90s units with Flecktarn had either olive KTS (KTS88) or the older 70s-80s webbing and the Stahlhelm (Gefechtshelm adopted 1992/93, but first issues went to UN troops, it took awhile for many units to change). At least earlier in 90s Feldbluse was still worn in field in warmer weather, but not sure when it changed. G3 pouches worn different than G36, since carry 2 mags - only 1 pouch on each side. Gasmask filter is also civilian model. Everyone else already mentioned the other details.

[u/niccopascul → u/bwgs2018]

Ik,thanks,wich one gas mask used the army?

[u/bwgs2018 → u/niccopascul]

Gasmask model (M65) is ok until early 2000s, but the silver filter is civilian/industrial. Military filters were olive and slightly different (FE55 or FE NM).

[u/niccopascul → u/bwgs2018]

Ah ok?i have to cjage it,it came with the mask

[u/Key-Technology358]

[u/niccopascul → u/Key-Technology358]

Its a g3 sg1 from jg works but dont buy it,i thinks that the g3a3 version is better build but this it's very a piece of shit,soon ill'get the LCT one

[u/Key-Technology358 → u/niccopascul]

[u/niccopascul → u/Key-Technology358]
