Swedish rucksack (military)

[Daniel_sk]

Hi all, this is my first post to this forum, so please let me introduce myself. My name's Daniel and I live in Slovakia, I'm 17 years old. We have here a beautiful nature, I like going to the woods with my friends. We are training survival in the nature and I am also playing military airsoft. I am collecting british army equipment.

So my question: We are planning a 3-4 day trip to the woods (in summer), and I don't have a suitable rucksack. I have read about the swedish army rucksack, that it is very good and very cheap. I found one on a slovakian army shop (www.usarmy.sk) for about Ł10. Here are the pictures:

Is it enough big for such a trip? I don't like that it doesn't have any side pockets. Does it have a waist belt? How about the comfort? The frame isn't looking very comfortable...
And inside? Does it have any inside pockets? I will need to carry a manpack radio in it (RF-10), which is about 295 x 47 x 191 mm. Will it fit? And also, I have a Camelbak reservoir (from a Camelbak MULE), Is there a pocket for it?

If I would have the money, I would take something like the Sabre 60-100l or Berghaus Vulcan... But for now, I need a cheap and good rucksack.
Thanks for the answers.

Hi mate,
the 75 liter has a very good waist belt, I have the 35liter and the 75 liters and love them both. They are cheap and strong. The frame is strong and you can remove the sack and transport wood on it. It has a very big inside pocket. I don't know about getting the stuff in you where talking about but I am happy with both of them. I like the simple design and that you cant break him. I forgot to say that the 35 Liter has NO waist belt.

cheers
Abbe

I found only the 40l (or 35l?) version. Do you know where I could buy the 75l version, and how much does it cost?
Could you post some pictures?

Hi mate,
I forgot to tell you that the 75 liter has in fact side pockets.
Its really late now here I have to go to bed but tomorrow I am going to shoot some pictures of my sack and show them to you, ok?
I would buy them online if you dont find them in the shops.

the prices in sweden are around 350 SEK without the transport
I guess its something like 35 euro or????

see you tomorrow
cheers
Abbe

Here are the pictures:

I hope that you can get a better picture now, that is the 75 liter sack.

cheers

The sack is on 70 litres and is called LK70.
Designed by fjällräven made by haglöfs/sacci and has been used since the 60´s and are still in use.

Great pack unless you fall when skiing

Many thanks for the pictures!

Do you know an e-shop, where I could order it, or someone who would like to sell it?

 

[Abbe Osram]

PM the Viking I believe he knows more than I!
cheers
Abbe

Can someone measure how deep is the pocket inside the LK35? Thanks

I make it just over 12 inches or 31cm's.

 

[Daniel_sk]

Ok, that's exactly what I need. The radiostation I want to put in, is about 30cm's. That should fit...
Now I need to find out how to lead out the antenna out of the rucksack. I will make some pictures, may be you can tell me if it is possible.
