Getting Niche and Nerdy with Charles MacFarlane or, Charles MacFarlane pr II

This week, we welcomed back long-time friend of the show, Militaria legend, astute journalist, collector, historian, and author of Combat Threads, Charles MacFarlane. The first of a two-part series, we explore the beginnings of his writing career, his recent outdoors adventures, what pieces of vintage military gear still hold their own, the intersection of modern military clothing and outdoor gear, the WW2 distribution system, the "Tactical Military Industrial Complex", and a slew of other topics.
