German Army Mountain Pack

they might be fake ones- there was(and probably still is...) a company which specialized in producing gear in BWcamo (without being used by the bundeswehr) labeling them as "" BW gear"".... the quality was usually not what I call "good""....

I take it as I would call webtex to British surplus.

This is a typical load. I always thought the cord around the opening would wear out but it's still going strong.

The only change I made was adding a pouch on the top of the pack. My way of keeping track of my thumb drives. The pack goes with me every day and when I close the pack, I always check the pouch for my thumb drives.

I have another one I use as a range bag.

Yep, might keep my eye open for one of these

I realise this is an old thread but just browsing through the forum and found it.

I have been using mine for around 3 years and love it! I don't think (unless I missed it) that anybody has mentioned the folding sleeping mat that is designed to go with this bag in the sleeve/pocket in the main compartment? Certainly no good for sleeping on, it's only about 2mm thick! It does make a great kneeling pad and adds a bit of structure to the bag. Anybody else have one?

I do, use it mostly for day camps with the missus but also makes a good summer overnighter pack I think.

Hoodoo kindly sent me one as a gift and I use it quite a bit, I've not got the sleeping mat but I use the sleeve for my laptop It's a great bag

Yes, I use it as a base to stop punctures under my inflatable mat ans for sitting or knelling on. Good bit of kit.

Good times. I was just wondering as most of them I have seen online don't appear to have the mat with them.
