Outstanding review on a historical Austrain Army kit, learned aspects of the kit I did not know about.

Good morning, pal.. These are very robust and very simple. It can trace is lineage back to German Mountain rucks of WWII. The cut is nearly identical to the Gebirgsjager rucks of the War. So much so that they even retained using the kit webbing as shoulder straps, that mirrors that of WWII mountain rucks. That inside back pouch where you have your mat can trace is use back to WWI even. They used to be much larger and for putting a wool blanket inside to pad the wearers back from the content and obviously evolved over the years to what you have now with the mat being inserted .. Both Germany and Austria went that route, keeping that pouch into the 2000s.. They're not really related to the ALICE much at all. They will, however,. accept ALICE shoulder straps. These also ride high and are good for use with web kit.. Good video and thnx for sharing with us!

I have the haversack, bought thru midway usa for about $24 american dollars.. I got it, obviously it was brand new. It is so large and well designed, I put 2 $6 2 qt canteen water bottle straps on it and use it for a back pack. Its awesome!

Good review, i also have both of these items although the haversack i have is probably the earlier version as the strap buckles are different to the rucksack. Also changed the harnes to a frame system for heavier loads. Any ideas on what the loops on either side of the rucksack were possibly used for?.

had on e of these as a spare pack in my wardrobe for a few years, never actually got around to using it, ... have seen the haversack worn on the front like a reserve parachute ... but have also seen it connected to the front yoke straps and thrown up over the head so it just hangs off the pack. Never did find out the correct way. You planning to field test it?

Tidy that Mitch. Bargain. Haversacks I'm not keen on, but useful around camp. I find they rub around my neck all the time and they're always swinging about. I just ordered two pouches off of a cheap Chinese website - with mollie, for admin really. I'm looking to get myself a good front bag to go with the short-back Bergen.
