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.
I think they were all private purchase items and as such jealously kept by their owners? and furthermore, all Norwegians have three things: a mother, a hytta and a fjellduken
A lot of issued equipment
Was stamped for destruction/liquidation after its owner had returned to civil life
See any old issue clothing - its stamped for destruction !!!

Jerven themselves states that the the army has used the Fjellduken about 20 years, not 30 years.
The reason there are no surplus ones is that they are primarely issued to specialists and there are not that many of them (not many soldiers at all nowadays). "Ordinary" soldiers may buy them directly from Jerven a little cheaper than civilians get them, but these obviously never hit the surplus market.
I know that the I-force in Heimevernet was issued these some years ago, and there has been rumors about issuing them to all soldiers, but I don`t know if the have begun this yet (I`m "retired" from service and don`t really care anymore).
