Uniform

[s10andcamos]

Ich suche eine komplette deutsche Flecktarn uniform und Ausrüstung. Was brauche ich und wo kann ich es kaufen? Ihre Hilfe wird sehr geschätzt!

(Ich wohne in den britischen Inseln)

Vielen danke!

I'll answer in english, as internet translation may yield not so good results...

What do you mean with complete ?
The german flecktarn BDU has
Boots
Socks in grey or olive
Tshirt - olive
Feldbluse (Jacket)
Feldhose (Trousers)
Feldmütze (Cap)
Koppelgürtel (belt)

If you want more (like the complete webbing and combat equipment)
Flakwest (Splitterschutzweste)
Webbing (Koppeltragegestell) with
- NBC Mask with filter - (M65)
- Bottle
- Shovel
- Stuff you need to eat in the wild (Spoon, Knife, Fork, Esbit cooking kit, etc.)
Helmet
Gloves
Backpack
Sleeping Bag
Sleeping pad (Isomatte)
Tent
Flashlight
Raingear (Goretex)
Parka (Cold weather jacket)

This list is way from complete, but contains much of the stuff you requested.

For ordering such stuff, it is getting complicated.

You can go to
www.raeer.com or www.ranger-shop.de
both offer international shipping into GB, but the sites are in german only...

Hope I could help.

Wow - Endier -
du kannst auch mehr als zwei Zeilen schreiben !!!
Vielleicht solltest du in Zukunft mehr auf Englisch posten - das könnte den Diskussionsfluss mächtig befeuern...

I can give you more detail information and show you everything when we meet next year. When you buy clothes and shoes by mail-order, it is always difficult to find out the right size. The German army has its own special size number system. You can then try on my trousers and jacket and see by how much they are too large or too small. Thus you get a good idea what size you need.

Fantastic.

Thanks Endier - just what I was looking for. And very helpful to have the reply in English as well as the German names of things. I enjoy military training and survival and at the moment only have UK kit but hope to expand what I have, so you have chosen the right type of things for my interest..... and I understand: how 'complete' is 'complete'!

Thanks Stoevel - yes that would be VERY good, and great help. I am 'only' 170cm tall and not as slim as you, so I suspect that few pieces of clothing will fit me. But I shall be happy to try!

I have seen in another thread how the German sizing works, but you are absolutely right: buying by mail order is not easy.

Thanks for your help and making me welcome!

@ Lowcrawl:
Tja, Man ist nicht umsonst ein Dienstgrad, nicht wahr, Rekrut ?

@ S10:
Glad I could help.
And yes, you are never really complete. My list was only to show that the basic uniform has already some parts and if you want more stuff, go for it.
