The waist strap is probably designed by the same committee that designed the Stridsväst 2000. I bought bergbuckles for about 50:- a piece and they work wonderfully. A note on the string locks, pulling out the key and putting it back the other way makes it keep the lock alot better and it becomes alot easier to open. My impression is that the manufacturer puts them in that way but after a while in the hands of troops they tend to flip.
Evert soldier has a stridssāck and it is made to carry shorter distances during missions. There are newer variants in use now since this came out in the late 90s.
As for the strap loosing up, this pack is actually supposed to be used in combination with a belt and west such as this: www.garderoben.se/en/taktisk-utrustning-1/vastar/ale-stridsvast-2000-gron You will have a large padded belt with bags in the back. If you fill those bags the Rugsack will actually rest on top of those bags while wearing it all. So the sack's own strap loosing up isn't really a problem at all.
The orignal one is made in 900 denier, the one in 600 denier is a copy. It´s the same with the Carry Bag 2000 (Bärsäck 2000) - the original is made in 900 denier and the copies in 600 denier. The original ones has the military label on them. If there are any labels on the copies I don´t know as the ones I own and are issued with are original military ones.
I have worn it in the service but had no problems with the belt we wore it on combat vest 2000 most often the holed band we used in Sweden for elastic cord to attach equipment to the bag eg. a rolled back bed then there are side pockets for this bag ...//Anders
What is the purpose of the four vertical strips of nylon? They run in the wrong direction for attaching molle items So please advise. Nice pack though. Thanks for the website info bud!
I've had many army packs and other stuff, where the straps loosen up. It's the webbing material that is the wrong (cheap) type. The army gay that says 'ok' to the webbing material, jas never been out of hes office and used it in the field. But he's good at saving money...
The main compartment could be 35L but then the additional tube and flap pouch add way more (can you measure the inside height and diameter to calculate volume?)
Hi, I want to sell mine, it is still in very good condition, basically as new, I will sell it to you for €45 Including postage to germany. So you can see the new price , here is a store selling them armyoutdoor.se/utrustning/m90-ryggsackar/stridssack-2000-gron/ but it is out of stock. email thehumbletrekker@gmail.com if you are interested to buy mine
Great looking back pack but that belt buckle was shyt ! Couldn't you change it out for a better quality....... British army 2" belt buckle? Great review and video again mate! Best wishes brother
A proper old fashioned army surplus store should have them! Or find a heavy duty 2" leather belt and cannibalise one of that? I'm sure you'll find something suitable without ruining your current set up! Best wishes brother:-)
I think it's a 40 mm buckle you need, not 50 mm? Regardless if your pack is surplus or new production for the civilian market it's almost certainly not only yours that slips.
+Urban F it's new production. Some how I managed to make a15 minute video and still leave out a lot of info. It must have been too early in the morning
had to google them, never seen them in Europe. But if they want to send me a pack I would not turn it down thats for sure . look good in the pictures. with a price tag to match
I felt my Kifaru was over priced. I had to make some pretty simple mods, that really should have been there form the factory (Adding a divider between the upper and lower sections, for example) However, once I hit the trail, with 45 pounds, Man, it was nice! The suspension system on it is amazing! It really makes the pack feel 20% lighter (at least)
Yeah, but if you saw the price of the Kifaru, these things should have been standard. Pretty much every other pack i have seen with top and bottom access has a center divider. Even cheap Taiwan packs have them. Simple to add in the original manufacturing process...took me weeks of inching through one careful stitch at a time once it's already built. The way the side pouches attached an were lined up...thats just shoddy design and workmanship. I had to fix that too. Again, super easy to do it right in the manufacturing process....hard as hell after the fact. The only thing that made it worth it was the superior suspension system. Now, I made more mods than that, but they were custom tuning it to my specific desires, so i won't crab about those.
I actually find it being a nice sack that holds up to brutal treatment, except for the one thing pointed out by Humble Trecker. The same design flaw can be found on the battle vest (stridsväst 2000) and it can be a nuisance when it comes open or floppy from time to time when your packed up like the michelin man.
I've just ordered one and I have two LK35s and a LK70 which I love. Thank you for the video.
Enjoy it
I'm convinced the drawstring tightening element is the most genious simple solution I've ever seen
+wojtekimbier do you think it is a Swedish thing because they are easily manipulated with gloves on? An adaptation for snow and cold winters ?
Good idea, very well might have been.
Great review. Buckles are (generally speaking) one of the easiest and cheapest things to fix on a pack. Fastex makes excellent replacements.
cheers

no labels. must be a copy.
I'll add the info to the description. thanks
I must correct myself - the original ones are in 950 denier.
But you are right about the belt buckle. I have replaced them with an older version of ITW Nexus GTCR2.

Got a special deal, wooly pully, watch cap and the pack for about 40 quid from Pennan och Svärdet.
Oooh another video with "Swedish" in the title. I like it :D

Unless you can find one at a good deal, I would look at the Fjalraven Kaipack.
Introduced in the early 1990s , if that is modern. you tell me
Good presentation, concrete and relevant but double s in name, more people will find your movie. :) Stridssäck 2000
fixed. thanks
Hey brother, I move a huge load every morning.
me too!
Bwuaaahaaaa!

Otis010707 it is swedish system for attaching pouches
I suppose you could use shock cord or paracord to strap various things to the side rollmat, trekking poles, axe, tarps etc
Hey,
I think the new swedish Army Rucksack LK 35 ist the Savotta Jääkäri M. The Corpus is not so different to Stridsäck 2000.
Have a nice day

exactly !
The main compartment could be 35L but then the additional tube and flap pouch add way more (can you measure the inside height and diameter to calculate volume?)
a quick measurement and I reckon the main compartment is 39/40 L maxed out and the flap pouch is 2.5 L
where can I purchase one?
good adress for germany maybe?

I'll stick with my LK35 thanks. This new one doesn't look as good to me.
It would have to be the Karimor SF Sabre 45.
Couldn't agree more.....it lacks the versatility and adaptability of the LK35. I hope also that this new pack doesn't, as stated, sit on your coccyx!
Hello there, can you do a vs between the LK 35 and the Nowagian army backpack? Thanks!
Robert Balasko that would be an interesting comparison. Unfortunately I sold my my LK35. If I can borrow one in the future I can do it
@@verysurvival but you still have the Norwagian one? Or do you want to sel that to? Which one do you think is better?, i'm 1.65m tall. Thanks
I think the Norwegian one is better. It is more comfortable and has side pockets

I would be curious your take on the Kifaru packs.
had to google them, never seen them in Europe. But if they want to send me a pack I would not turn it down thats for sure . look good in the pictures. with a price tag to match
Well, you could be the trend setter. you can always ask them for a sample for your channel for the euro market.

However, once I hit the trail, with 45 pounds, Man, it was nice! The suspension system on it is amazing! It really makes the pack feel 20% lighter (at least)
i find there is nearly always something you have to compromise with on any pack , there is always somewhere you want to tweak it.
Yeah, but if you saw the price of the Kifaru, these things should have been standard. Pretty much every other pack i have seen with top and bottom access has a center divider. Even cheap Taiwan packs have them.
