Rucksack project - part 1
I finally had a bit of time to write about another gear project I'm working on – a homemade rucksack . The Idea The inspiration came after I missed out on an insanely cheap Helikon-Tex bushcraft backpack with some great details. It was absurdly cheap, but I didn’t act fast enough. And of course, I've been drooling over those beautiful (but expensive) Frost River packs – though my wallet doesn’t quite match my bushcraft dreams. The Starting Point I’ve collected a bunch of old Danish military surplus . From the end of World War II and up into the 1980s, the Danish army used a kind of Frankenstein system made up of discarded gear from the US, UK, Sweden, and Germany. These parts can often be found very cheaply. So far, I’ve picked up: A large rucksack A few universal pouches (also used as ammo pouches, etc.) Another inexpensive bread bag I’ve also bought some other bags that didn’t really fit the setup – those have been sold on again. The Plan for the Pack...
