I cant think of the name of the episode though. My family and I were out west. I got some great pictures of the area Malibu Creek State Park. I am from Wales but intend to take a pilgrimage to the site in Are you able to give me more specific directions to get there please. Thank you. I need to visit also and would be a good time for me to visit. What month are you heading out?
I have heard it is awful in the summer so I am thinking I will go either in the Spring or Autumn. You exit the at Las Virgenes. It is about a 3. If you come in the spring or early summer you will have to cross a stream usually by walking over a log.
Prepare to get your feet wet. The outdoor set for the show was actually a modified and simplified version of the original movie set. Look closely at the overhead shot up top which was actually re-used footage from the movie and you can see additional tents to the left, hidden under camouflage netting.
What was the point of having a barber tent in camp? The maps made me realize something — where does everyone outside of the main cast and the nurses sleep? We never did see where Igor, Zale, Rizzo, etc. Go to the link below. It takes you to a list of Fox Soundstages. If you hover over 9, it shows MASH as a recent project. If you click the 9, then it takes you to an actual map of soundstage 9. Another piece of MASH history.
In the opening scenes, with the helicopters coming in, there is a mountain in the background. On this mountain appears to be a building that looks like a Spanish Mission. The mountain is shaped like a double upside down small and large v, like this vV only upside down and the small v is the mission.
This no longer appears in the area photos today, perhaps destroyed in the big fire they had in the area around the end of the series being filmed. I would like to know more of this mission, if it is information that is available. You can see it well if you stop motion the opening film. It was a budist temple, I was there , 5 miles south of the DMZ.
They where a little closer. They have a newer hospital than the movie, but old now. NCO Club? Mess Tent? Does anyone remember this? With this being said, being a physician, he Dad should know very well what triage is.
Of course I am sure the writers put this description in for the audience who may not be familiar with triage. Oops forgot to finish my reply… :rollseyes I want to thank you for this sit. It has helped me from many difficult moments in the 15 years of hell after many mistakes and abuse under cancer treatments and post cancer treatments. With out Mash I wonder if at times I could have survived so long.
The injuries that have been caused because of incopentence and abuse have caused 2nd and 3rd degree radiation burn damage that will probably never heal before I die so I will be seeing many more hours of Mash to help me coupe with the pain and fighting to stay alive.
So your site has given me one more means to help in my fight!!! Great blog post. I might have to borrow that picture at the end at Rosies.. I didnt pick on the Dad being a physician.. It would be great if enough private funding was gathered to do a summer camp at the original spot where the camp was set up. Fans could sign up to either help build a temporary camp site in the late spring then in the summer fans could dress up as characters from the show and rent a tent for a week.
Then they could take pictures…hike…play games…at night watch the movie and episodes in the mess tent like the actors did in the real th mess tent. Then rotate in new fans the next week. Then at the end of summer break it down and store it for the next summer. I imagine there will be some land work needed.
Even get some period vehicles and paint them. Or close to similar looking anyway. How about getting one of the actors from the series to be there at the first day to bless it Father Mulcahy. I would sign up every year! Hawkeye and Trapper have given each other haircuts in the Swamp, and likewise, Klinger once gave Potter a haircut in his tent. The only way it makes sense is with the stage 9 set. There were at least 2 doors used in episodes, but I would assume the building itself was used for storage.
Please, people, use your imaginations. You can assume, while watching the show, that everyone had a place to sleep. Just enjoy it and quit harping about what should have been. I always wondered what the sets looked like and this more than satisfied my curiosity. One question about the maps. The map has the kitchen located in the supply room. That would make more sense. I love MASH. I have watched MASH for over 30 years, many episodes dozens of times.
Not sterile. I have never questioned the layout, until now. Is there a local place that rents 4-wheelers? We hiked there on Friday, February It was a 2. It took us 1 hour, 9 minutes to get there from the main entrance.
At the beginning of the hike, the trail is definitely wide enough for a vehicle. Your question, was exact my question about the cast, crew and equipment, as we were hiking. And, think of all the cameras, lighting, sound equipment, food, etc. My husband wondered if they helicoptered everyone and everything in. As far as getting crew and equipment there when they did the show, if you go the back way, there is a gate and fire road from one of the neighborhood streets.
My guess is, that was they way they got in and out everyday to work on the show. This was the original entrance to the set. I do not think the road was reclaimed by nature, I believe it was bulldozed when it became a park to stop the vehicle access. The only way to reach the MASH site is by foot. The trail is very narrow the last half mile as it runs along Malibu Creek. Thank you for the wonderful post. Your work was appreciated.
Planning to hike to the site this weekend! This is a great site. One day I hope to make the trip to the film site. I have been thinking that I might build a Diaorama of the set. Well to all, Cheers. Just an auusie who loves the show. We have a local store in town that is a army navy surplus and has been here for over years.
Victories surplus in Vallejo California They have all kinds of army stuff from Vietnam and Korean era and all latest wars. Remember that a lot of props seen were also WWII surplus or holdovers.
Such as the phones they used. Where did Igor, Rizzo, Zale sleep? I get a whole hour of one of my favorite shows!!! I remember watching the series finale my senior year of high school. I cried!!!!! Perhaps a poll on our favorite episode s from earlier seasons, featuring Col. Blake, Frank, Trapper etc.
Potter, Charles and B. Thank you for all the work you put into it! Based on a concept that evolved soon after the Second World War, these units are designed to be highly mobile, with its own transportation to allow them to keep up with advancing troops or "bug out" in the face of oncoming enemy threats.
They therefore operated mainly out of tents or used whatever temporary buildings they could find. The major feature in the camp compound was the hospital building which in the case of the th was a T-shaped wooden structure. The hospital building included the pre-op ward, the O. These rooms took up two long arms of the "T". Also attached to the hospital building was the unit headquarters and the commander's office. Nearby are the commander's tent, and the Swamp.
The tent-based surgical hospital was one of seven fully functional, tent-based hospitals that operated at various points during the Korean War. The was located on the 38th parallel, which divides the Korean Peninsula and today serves as the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. Life in a MASH unit was grueling: Aside from the constant stress of warfare and long hours in surgery, the units usually picked up and moved at least once a month.
In Korea, Hornberger pioneered a kind of surgery that was prohibited during the war. At the time, it was against U. Army regulations for surgeons to do anything but close off a blood vessel in the case of an injury to the vascular system, or blood vessels. But the realities of war wounds made this intolerable to Hornberger and other surgeons who found themselves banned from repairing damaged arteries.

It is thought that Hornberger was the first to flout those rules—and scenes in his bestselling book back up the theory. When word got to other MASH units, doctors started doing arterial repairs there, too, and after the Korean War ended in , doctors who dared to do the surgery helped further medical knowledge about how to repair human arteries and other blood vessels.
As for Hornberger, who went on to work in at the VA and in private practice, he dealt with the trauma he experienced during the Korean War by writing about it.
