Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
before you order, do a forum search for "surplus and adventure"
some members have had trouble ordering from them.
that aside, it's a decent rucksack for the price. a little heavy, but sturdy.
i have it's larger sibling the LK-70 and i rate it really highly

cheers mate, I think ill buy it. Got loads of bags but fancy something a bit old school, looks pretty bomb proof.
Yep - always check the postage! I have what appears to be a similar bag/frame. Mine is some old Swedish army issue from way back. Most of the time I use an old school bag that my grand-daughter discarded - and surprisingly it's lasted through lots of time outdoors and many miles.
cheers all, bought the bag in the end. Had too buy and a swedish army trangia, a mess kit (£12.95 for both, bargain 
) and some gloves to justify the p&p. Is that false logic?! sigh... poor wallet

Nice one Copper Head, let us know how you get on with the ruck. Just to add to what other people have said on here, I've bought twice from Surplus and Adventure and they've been quick in delivering. The only criticism I can make is that I recently bought a set of "NEW" French Army Surplus Mess Tins, which were clearly not "new". Only cost me 3 quid so am not that fussed though.copper_head said:cheers all, bought the bag in the end. Had too buy and a swedish army trangia, a mess kit (£12.95 for both, bargain
Also might be worth doing a forum search for "LK35" (what the ruck is properly called) someone else on here did a really good mod on the ruck where they replaced the harness completely.
The cord lock which comes with the LK35 is a clunky metal thing which isn't too handy, but can easily be swapped for a little plastic one.
Can I ask where you got the LK-70?
Though I've still to talk the wife into letting me spend more money and get the LK35

Robbo,
The L35 is my weekend pack of choice.
Also it is huge, a Sabre 45 fits inside it.
Easy to modify as well if you want a decent waist band as I did with mine and I know Neil-1 did a fantastic job on his - check out his gallery pics there are couple of shots of it in there (or there were )

If you ask me.. Never buy from "Surplus and Adventure"!!! I dont know what other's have experienced with them, but I have one experience.. I had a major ordeal with them a year or two back. I spent £50 on their website and waited weeks for something to turn-up. I left it a month with no parcel in sight I contacted them with numerous emails and a letter, I had no response. For weeks I phone them every morning, sometimes they wouldnt pickup and when they did I would only get excuses and a few times they lied to me saying the refund will go back into your account in a day or two and it never did. It took me over half a year 
to sort it out and get a refund by which time I had already reported them too Trading Standards, so it was probably them who scared them into paying my £50 back, which I probably would have never recieved back

A few people have had problems with this company, although I have order from them several times with no issue.
Some things tend to be out of stock from Surplus and Adventure but they do deliver eventually. My folding mug has a hole and I can;t get a return number from them
Otherwise they're ok.

Yeah, I guessed that they will have served many customers normally in the past (to make it worthwhile still having their busniess online), but I can safely say they are not respectable business who pay any regard to the laws of trading and I would advise to avoid using them.
I had loads of trouble with them and had to threaten with action b4 they would refund me - avoid like the plague

Well, it is actually handy if you're wearing heavy mittens... Try to fiddle around with the plastic ones with oven mittens on, and you will get the picture
(and I never seen one of those aluminium locks break, which plastic has a habit of doing)
