1967 Vietnam US Leg Holster Pilot Survival Kit Review Vintage Military Gadget Testing

This Vietnam era helicopter pilot survival kit came packed in a drop leg holster that included a hand radio, strobe light, hunting knife, and a main container with another 50+ survival items. Only 100 were ever issued and were used by non-ejection seat pilots in Vietnam in 1967. It was never fully adopted due to giving pilots a limp and being cumbersome. Thus being replaced by the SRU-21/p vest. We briefly show that vest in this video and it is the next to be reviewed. And thank you everyone for watching & subscribing - hope you enjoyed this one, as I certainly did making it! -Steve
