When it's time to go, clutch in, shift to first and simultaneously release e-brake and let up clutch. Very easy to do without rolling backward or without putting wear/tear on your clutch. At least that's the way I was taught to do it - it's always worked well.

Remember? I said WWII surplus jeep? A functioning e brake??? You had to be kidding...this rig never left the ranch..no license, among other missing things..
