I remember those things but don't recall any of the gang having one.
We just made do with dirt clods or the odd may pop with an M80 stuffed in it for grenades.
My buddies grandpa delt in military surplus so we did have sho' 'nuff honest to goodness helmets, uniforms and web gear though.

Worked out butts off digging those things with entrenching tools....
Those were the days...
