Recommended rucksack to carry a Dutch Army tent.

[Harleycoffee]

I'm looking for the right canvas rucksack to strap the Dutch army tent to. I prefer to strap atop the rucksack rather than slung below.
I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.

The ubiquitous LK35?

Yes that is one possibility I have considered along with the Telemark.

If it helps i used to strap my polish laavu or tarp and bivi on the top of my lk35 and it worked just fine

Can't find a decent canvas lk35 or Telemark anywhere.

there is an LK35 group on face book that seems to have them available now and again.

I prefer the cordura LK35 - doesnt get heavy when wet

And a body building course. Why worry about the weight of a damp rucksack when carrying the heaviest one man tent going?

That's what I asked myself from the beginning.

I think that these tents are constructed for transport in cars and use in organised field camps. Different to that the Dutch army also issues ponchos and bivvy bags that seem to be meant for improvised camps and rucksack transport.

Make it a long roll and then put on top of the pack so either end hangs to the side. That's the way we carried the squad tents.
