I enjoyed your pics and info on your cold gear over the years.  I was USMC 0311 87-91 then USAF TACP 01-17.  Live in Idaho since 7 except for Mil time.  Did a winter package in 1988 with Marines 3/1 at MWTC Bridgeport where I learned to military ski/snow shoe.

Issued gear was all M-1951 old stuff out of a pallet bin handed out and turned back in after training.  

I purchased the OD field pants $9, wool shirt $10-$15 and fish-tail parka $40 back when they were dirt cheap in the 90s.  I have used them for elk/deer hunting over the years.

I actually used the wool shirts for Air Force Training and AFG deployment.  

I will get some pics of the gear and post them if there is still interest.
