Fortunately for myself, I have a complete ensemble to outfit my mule when I get it done.
Al 1960's vintage, I have 3 mortar crates, several ammo cans, fuel cans, radio gear incl PRC25s, and a complete USMC uniform and web gear. Even have the Death Cards, Lucky strike cigs etc.
Just need to find an M16A1, M14, LAW or a blooper now...

Where did you find the Lucky strikes?? Would love some of those (not to smoke, just for the helmet etc.)
