Viking said:I bought my LK 70 for 150 SEK (about £12) but there are also brand new ones for about 300 SEK (about £24). The used ones you can get from here http://www.activelifeequipment.com/ and the new ones from here http://www.bbfab.se/. Try and e-mail them and see if they ship to the UK. If you get any problems or they don´t ship to the UK PM or e-mail me and maybe I can sort if out for you.
Moonraker said:Viking, I could not see the LK 70 on the www.bbfab.se/ Mike and Nike site? Or is it the 'Jägarryggsäck 70 Liter' 350kr? Shame there is no picture there.
I contacted Active Equipment who were helpful and I may well get some stuff from them (they don't take c/c so I will need to do a bank transfer which is not so bad from France but expensive from UK I think) but I would still like to find the LK 70 rather than the F70 which does not have the external frame of the LK70.
One thing I did see which I may get as well is a LK70 frame with a 35lt bag on it. Which means there is room under the bag to carry stuff. Have you seen one of those used? Maybe it would be too top heavy unless you loaded the bottom too.
If you have any other links for new LK 70 let us know.
Cheers

Viking said:Yes the "Jägarryggsäck 70 Liter" is the same as LK70. The pack that has the LK70 frame with a 35lt bag have I seen many time, these were used by our platoon medics. They carried their personal gear in the small pack and then strapped on their medics bag under.
Sorry but I have no more links on the LK70 but there are some pictures of it posted here.

But I also got to use my Swedish Army 35l sack properly for the first time and it was excellent! I got my entire kit for the weekend in there with ease and that includes stove, fuel and rations, sleeping bag and bivi bag, warm clothes and wash kit ect ect.
Carrying the pack is highly comfortable and I really like the external frame (I think this might even replace my beloved PLCE jets packs) best of all the pack only costs £9.95!
Great weekend and a great new piece of kit! :biggthump
Now I just need it cold enough for my new parka! :chill: Roll on the snow!
