Great bags for deployments and good bags for car camping. Generally, the little pocket was where you put your deployment orders in. As others have mentioned, the loop on top is usually padlock if traveling by air or bus for additional protection. Like a lot of military gear, it is nigh indestructible.

I got mine from the curb in my neighborhood for free! The thing was half covered in mold from being in a basement but I washed it and it came out so crisp and clean. Thinking of making an emergency car supplies kit with it. This video was helpful because I didn’t know how to close it or if it was missing a string to go through those grommets.

If you put the metal loop thru the square part of the clasp and then put a padlock on it, no way anyone is getting into it without cutting the fabric. When I got mine in boot camp in ‘88 they were navy blue (black) with a single strap. There was no pocket, no button, no pair of padded shoulder straps, just a single strap and a grab handle. Because sailers never had to carry them very far, 1-2 miles at most. Mine had “Stamper, J.” stenciled on the bottom. Because they get stacked horizontally up to 8’ high with just the bottom of the bag showing. So the bottom is where you put the identifying info. Everything had to be folded properly to get it all in the bag. And when not in use, the bag itself had to be folded a certain way and in its proper place. After I was discharged, I started using it with a external pack frame for a makeshift camping backpack. The bag is now 35 years old and still functions good as new. There’s nothing to break down with these, no zipper, no pockets, it’s rugged and lasts forever if not mistreated. It’s rain and fire resistant too. But you definitely need a external pack frame for longer hikes.

only problem with military bags is that I cannot find smaller ones , I would like to have 50 L versions . I would like to have it for daily trips , to carry it everywhere , 75-100 L is huge . mine is black cordura 1000 DEN , 75 L -like this in video . Honestly never had such durable and quality bag -ruscack before , so easy to carry when I go on daily trips to sea , to dive etc . and sea rocks are hard and sharp here , like knives , only big bags with protection can endure it . I plan to get another one soon , but not this one , there is one 100 L with shoulder straps , 8 big pockes and one department with frame , functional , big and just 60 $ . but nothing beats this one lol , this is THE bag for durability , affordable , simple .. it's just not looking like normal bag , and also it's not functional . I need more pockets , I need also something that looks more normal , with this one i am looking like a guy that goes travel , and I am just going to dive and visit nature here :D . one thing is for sure - there is no more durable and quality made bag out there , and you will never lack space :D , you can go to camping for sure , even with bike or bus . YES , it's so quality made that you can put one on your back and ride a bike with it , easy .. straps are SO quality and will never fell of your shoulders , amazing !! I will buy almost only military bags , it's made to last !!

It's great for 'luxury' bedding. You can pack your softs and mold the entire bag over your frame pack. Another method is to 'x' the shoulder straps through your frame and wrap around your regular pack. Play around. This can easily add a lot of capacity that can be readily dropped or removed, still be organized...as in...you hit your site early, detach, and do your wide perimeter resource check...return and set up...whatever...great bag to have.
