Only Reality counts here. Survival Russia promotes the philosophy of always carrying equipment and never to be parted from equipment which will affect chances of Survival.

The Swiss army knife of jackets!
Well "said" Jeff :)
I have the swiss army shorts and never make jokes about what special little tools may or may not fold out from them.
Tressor 😀
Yea, was one of the last one in the Swiss Army of my generation that got this one . The pockets are great to take everything with you.
I bought this jacket based on your review. I'm using it to replace my fishing backpack. Now, I can just throw on the jacket and I have all of my fishing gear in the pockets.
I think it's very fashionable. It has the look of Givenchy, but would go better with the Bruno Magli jackboots. You must get the diamond encrusted 16 gauge shotgun to complete the ensemble...especially for wolf tracking. Très chic!
LOL, Fred !
To help with wolf tracking, use Channel Moose are us scent.
I have the same jacket but made by a British designer called 'One True Saxon', it was called 'The Jungle Parker' and is identical to this but not in camo, just a plain greeny brown colour, it's an awesome quality jacket and mine still has the mosquito net too :) They still pop up on ebay for around £50.
This type of “jacket” is actually called a smock. It’s made for heavier load outs but is not truly load bearing. If you wish to see a good example of a load-bearing smock (up to 15kg), search for the “stealth smock” by UF-Pro. It has an internal padding system for the shoulders, hips and lower spine, as well an belt running through the inner liner. I have one, it’s rather expensive but I ca use it in lieu of a backpack on forest trips up to 4 nights at +5 C or higher. It will fit my entire sleeping system (lightweight hammock, silnylon tarp, and insulation) in the back pocket, as well as alcohol burner and cook kit, water filtration system, rain poncho, first aid and fire kit. I only wear a hydration pack (source tactical) on my back but it is high enough not to rub against the large back pocket when loaded.
The zipper is in the right place for high mobility. When the zipper is too low, and You duck before managing to lift jacket a bit, the zip will surely rip at the bottom. So everything is fine with the zipper, but it is a bit colder.
Need to have that tree stand in wolf's territory, with some meat lure, .. and get some new furry mocassins for the Missus, a troll fur coat for winter, and the wolf meat, bones, marrow for the pups' food supply.
What a great idea :) Wolves have their place of course. Like all other creatures.
LARS YES right to the mashed potato on my plate.
Isn't eating a wolf akin to eating a dog? Nasty.
Gear is everything you have to be comfortable or you won't be out in that beautiful winter weather. I never miss a video, keep it up Lars.
Never had this one during my service, but the pockets are for: 4x 2 mags, one for the mess kit, one for the canteen, the one with the smaller ones that look like they're made for pencils is for the gas mask (the small 'pencil pockets' are for the autoinjector syringes against VX or Sarin gas), and the big one inside on the back is for carrying some spare clothing that would also cushion the backpack. The metal rings help fixing the backpack and the net inside the hood is not a mosquito net but was meant for facial camouflage. The two ribbons on the inside front help to keep the trousers up.
You always inspire me. This time about fashion. I thought you looked fantastic so I took all my outdoor gear and installed rhinestones! SUPER AWESOMENESS!
good point about need for a winter jackets to be super breathable and quite as sound travels so much father in the cold and precipitation is crystallized and just fall off.
The jacket is a shoplifters dream! Just think how much stuff could be hidden in there!
The cammo patt would be awesome for hiding in tomato plantations he he....
But a free jacket is never too expensive.
Na I use it to sneak snacks in the movie theater
The big pocket in the back could be for carrying a shelter half . Two soldiers carry one half each and pair up to put their halves together , making a shelter that they share . Their combined body heat makes the shelter warmer than a single person tent , and each soldier has a bit less weight to carry . I bought two shelter halves from a retired US Marine some years ago . They're shaped like a rectangle with a triangle on each end sort of like this with grommets around the edges . A single shelter half can be set up into a lean-to shelter . Good video , I'm a subscriber .
Hi. Great vid explaining this jacket. I have the M83 field coat, as I like the print, but I managed to find one of these only last week. Really well made and I will be using it for wild camping here in the uk as the pattern really lends itself well to our woodlands at this time of year. I have the backpack and trousers too. The hood mesh is a sniper bale, apparently, not a mosquito net.
All the best.
👍🏾🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing!
I got that jacket and the backpack for 11 dollars at my local army surplus store and I love it, it's great to have when your hunting small game. It was used.
Damn, that's a spiffy jacket. Awesome! Love the secret pockets and overall the amount of pockets. Thanks for the review!
Hi Lars, another excellent video. Even better are the Team Lars comments, these are excellent: thank you all. The on-body carry of essential field items is an outstanding feature. Greetings to the Pink Nija, my own 6 yr old Thai daughter (she would be a coffee-coloured Nija) - she loves the Pink Nija appearances as we watch your videos together. It is the father-daughter relationship that she loves. Thank you all from Greg in Thailand
the jacket takes your old fashioned waterproofing really well (the bees wax and linseed oil), the hood should have a button further back on the top for the tab to make it fit better on a bare head, (fold over and button up, lifts the front)
My favorite jacket for deer hunting this season. The trouser are great too! It's incredible how you can load this kit.
That pattern on the jacket I am seeing it more and more as the white and red actually add to the camouflage. It sounds like a very good jacket but I do not hunt and unlike someone I know who went bushcrafting during hunting season and did not bring bright clothing, I like to be seen.
Excellent Video! This Review covered all the important aspects of this Swiss Army M70 Field Jacket. I learned a lot about the Jacket. I am now going to purchase one of these Jackets. Thank You for the wonderfull review and I will be looking at your other videos.
Very cool Lars. I got the set a few months ago. Having so many useful pockets is awesome. I haven't worn it in the rain yet, but I put a rubberized poncho/shelter half in the mini-backpack so if it is suppose to rain i can snap the pack on before i leave the house.
Happy to report I received mine today, and the xL size fits me perfectly, im 270 and kinda a big guy, i was worried, but it was cheap enough, but man a great fit! love the jacket
I just bought mine today at a thrift store for $13. Mine has a detachable rucksack though and is missing that mosquito netting. It feels very comfortable, but it rains alot in Oregon. Will probably carry a US military poncho in it.
Just bought one of these, they are absolutely brilliant, nothing else like it out there! Mine is a bit worn, one of the press studs has torn out, the others are beginning to go because they are so tight to open. I’ve got the matching rucksack. There aren’t many reviews on it that I’ve been able to find. If I can find it I’ll put a link to the diagram showing what all the pockets are for, I think the one Lars said about pencils, is for a gun cleaning kit. The pouch in the back is for a folding sleep mat, like the German ones, which will also pad the rucksack. In the hood there was a camouflaged net, for covering the face. Mine is missing. The camouflage was designed for the Alps and also for urban fighting. I’m trying to get a second one for when my first wears out, that’s how much I love it!😂🤓
This guy has a lot of info about it:
sharky-fourbees.blogspot.com/2011/07/m-70-swiss-alpenflage-jacket-backpacks.html
This Swiss Rifle forum shows what all the pockets are for:
www.tapatalk.com/groups/theswissriflesdotcommessageboard/combat-dress-70-or-alpenflage-vierfruchtpyama-lieb-t2702.html#.TiwzFGG3IUN
Just got mine; ordered from Midaway USA, size L fits very good. I am 5'11" 210 lbs and the large fits perfectly. Sleeves are long enough, really perfect. Thanks for the review SR!
A somewhat handy guy could certainly take a thread and needle and add a drawstring, zipper or Velcro (hook and loop fastening) to the top of some of the pockets, if he was so inspired.
It’s not a mosquito net as such, it’s more of a shroud with the same camo pattern on. When pulled down over face, the face is invisible! I love this jacket. There are various versions, the older one was much softer material, but wears out much faster- the press studs tend to tear out, but the inner shoulder load bearing part is normal material. On yours, that is waterproof material which gets very sweaty with exertion (at least it does with me 😂). The rest of the material, however, is much stronger, not as soft, much better wearing!
I got one of those jackets a few months ago for around $10. It cost more to ship than to purchase HAHA.
I have yet to use it because of its weight but, it looks like it could be a very good hunting jacket for the late fall in the NE of the US.
Cool stuff! Minus 15-20 here, and got 25 more cm's of dry powdery snow. I'm off work the next three days, so going to take my skis and go look for wolves. A couple packs somewhat close to me, too. Gov't pays you for them here. Take care. Awesome coat. Have a great weekend.
I have the swiss pack, it really needs this jacket to work properly. The jacket I have is newer and less pockets but is still a great jacket.
The alpenflauge camo works excellent in Oklahoma's autumn colors.
You have the M83.
@@soggz4246 thanks for that info
That camo s really well lots of tie down points for fero rods and tools
Mine came with all the attachments.Works excellent in the spring and fall when the leaves are budding and falling.
Just 2days before I watched this I bought one of these jackets for a really good priced and am impressed. Just as youth described. Now considering the pack that goes with it.
I have this jacket and love it. It is also perfect camo for manzanita/pine/meadow terrain I have in the American Sierras.
Great test lars Ive been pontificating over purchasing the M70 for a few months and you have answered some of my questions. our climate is much like what you have in this video often cold and moist. The concern I had about it as a load bearer is you tied into wearing it for the whole day. They are as cheap as chips in NZ $39.00 for the jacket and M83 trousers only $15.00. I was also a bit curious about how it would fit with a pack so great review
I bought one earlier in the year (also cheap as chips in UK) and I agree with Lars overview, I really like mine and its astounding how much stuff you can pack into it, in reality its a webbing system with sleeves! The alpenflage camouflage is surprisingly good considering how bright it is. I'd recommend getting at least one extra size than you think you need as it's a bit of a bum freezer otherwise, they're made to go with the trousers which come up high.
I bought 2 from Varusteleka, hoping to get the bug net with at least 1. Both have the net so I lucked out in the purchase. I may buy the pants soon.
Thanks for the video about this field jacket !
Lee, Indianapolis, Indiana (BushRadio on BCUSA site)
Awesome video as always Lars!
This is a nice jacket! I have one myself. I got it for under $5. I also have the pants and a poncho of the same pattern. I think the poncho is from a different model, though, as it uses different buttons.
The pants are great! They have bracers built in and huge thigh pockets. They also have areas on the hip that unzip for breathability.
For the backpack that goes with this pattern, don't get the one from Varusteleka, as it has been modified and doesn't have the clips to attach to the jacket.
Good luck out there Lars!
I will get the poncho. Ponchos are great. I agree on the Varusteleka pack. I already passed on it for the exact reason you mention.
Hey man I've been following your channel for quite a while and come across this vid.. I have exactly the same jacket, bought it from a market stall and was told it was Austrian... nice to see another one and to find out that it's from Switzerland! Awesome!
Thanks for the video. I like your approach on doing your review. Also I agree in the winter it is better to have a slight air flow through the jacket. I tell my young troops that persperation need to go away from the body, Goretex keeps it held in. Running into wolves in the dark could be very interesting. Stay safe.
Hi Lars I got mine back in the 80's when they were very hard to come by ,I've always liked and collected surplus for years . I liked to have unique camo no one else had seen before ,plus it's history I've can pass on to my grandchildren, if they are so inclined to have an interest . I'm having a very hard time finding the Danish flectarn that will ship to the states , I really liked yours . Stay safe !
Hi, you can but Danish M84 "Flecktarn" in the US here: www.military1st.com/colors-m84/ And this Russian shop have suits in the Russian copy of M84, and they ship world wide, if you like the Russian style Gorka or sniper suits better: kamuflage.ru/en/kostjum-gorka-sfera.html kamuflage.ru/en/kostyum-gorka-5-sfera-s-zaschitoj-kolenej-loktej-i-kopchika.html kamuflage.ru/en/kostjum-snajper-2-rip-stop-sfera.html kamuflage.ru/en/kostjum_gorka-4_anorak_rip-stop_sfera.html
Otherwise try this Danish store. They send to the US. But only Danish Language. Try Google Translate though, should it be??

As you rightly put it, Lars, the jacket is truly awesome. I must look out for that style and camo pattern. Take care...
On video, it looks like perfect camo for a rosegarden..
I always learn tonnes,, thanks Lars
I have had one of these for awhile now and I like it too. I found that the helmet clip rattled and made so much noise it had to be removed. The coat is very comfortable as you say.
Thanks for doing this video about a coat. Any more would be welcome too.
Lars I've just got the trousers for these and all I can say is I must get the jacket, it will be the finishing peice of the puzzle, good vid
I have the entire set but the older model. The pattern is a bit more detailed and the large pocket on the back is different. The backpack is terrible because it has no straps so it kills your shoulders. It is fine for a pair of clothes or a poncho or some food but nothing heavy. The trousers come up high so the short zip on the jacket really really helps with freedom of movement. It is a great set of camo. Unfortunately my jacket was not stored properly by the previous owner and the large pocket on the front right side had dry rot. I ended up removing the pocket and I have had no further issues. With a wool field shirt under the jacket I have been comfortable up to -30 C.
Got one a couple of years ago, it's a great camo pattern in autumn/early winter, the red looks brown to the human eye at a distance so it's not actually that ''funky''! It is a very well thought out piece of kit if you can get over the funky red patches!!!
I have the trousers and I agree it is well made stuff. I like having them around to throw over some other pants and go outside in cold, wet weather with no worries. The pants have some waterproof material over the majority of the front of them which is great. They have built in suspenders and no belt loops which is pretty different for me, and the suspenders are just barely long enough to work. They are ugly but functional and they were very inexpensive! Good stuff!
Definitely an interesting jacket, I can see it being useful for assorted stuff that's better off kept easily accessed. Never enough options for carrying stuff. XP
Thanks for the Video. I have used my M70 jacket and pants for deer hunting to carry some ammunition and my knife as well as a few other supplies but I try not to load the pockets too much. The rear pockets are almost too big to use. There are straps inside the jacket that attach to the M70 pants to keep the jacket and pants locked together too.
I have that complete outfit including backpack and hat, I really like the camouflage colors .
Yes, it works quite well actually :)
Yeah, with cold hungry wolves (plural) around, I don't want to be there in the daylight, much less the dark. You're the Man. Thank You.
Wow, Lars, you got so much snow there already and we have none to speak of here in Minnesota which is weird cause we usually look like you there by now! Anyway, thanks for the video as always, cheers!
I have almost new pants and shirt, plus this parka. All awesome but I'm trying to sell it on ebay for about a year... Leibermuster Uber Alles! :)
Have your wife make bags for each pocket. One bag could hold a first aid kit or something you always take.
I have the back pack and trousers, I only paid £6 for the back pack from military mart and not to much for the trousers. Great carrying system.
I have some old Fin BDUs that are reversible to white. I really like them. I do have 2 poncho capes in the Swiss pattern. They can make a great bivy with a plastic bag at the feet or pack. The red disappears at distance on the old Swiss pattern. Liked the vid.
Yes, the red actually becomes grey/brown at only 20-30 meters. Thank you Kurt :)
Great video Lars and a look at the jacket. Have a great weekend my friend
I like the helmet hook. That's a good idea
Awesome jacket. Definitely is my `` style``. Perfect size and lots of big pockets
Here in Florida, we where a jacket at least that thick when it's 50' F (+10 C)...
Хорошая куртка!
Cool jacket ... only flaw i found with this jacket is that it soaks up the rain and takes ages to dry out,
(i plan to wax mine) ... the camo at 20-30 yards becomes very effective, the red appears as a brown color,
I agree on all points Neil :)
great review Lars
i believe every type of camp pattern is designed for the area it is made for
if a hipster or a fashion queen says it is not my style,you already know he/her is not seeing the purpose of the pattern
the person commented in that matter wear it in the city lol
atb
Steve
Lars I admire your calm in the forest with wolves nearby . Spaceba
I almost bought one of those but didn't for two reasons.
1. I wasn't convinced about the function of the red in the camo pattern, and..
2. The water absorbing thing is a big issue for me. It rains a lot where I live in Northern England.
However, I still like it. For the rain I will use my Danish army waterproof mac :)
The Swiss camo poncho is a " poor man's " version of your new Jervan Fjellduken without the armings
Hi again. Yes, the Swiss poncho is cheap, but it seems to be made of much stronger material than the Jerven bag, at least after this review. :o) th-cam.com/video/impA6nYGzlQ/w-d-xo.html
it's like Christmas camouflage! :D
No. It works amazingly well. You won't believe it. The SS didn't pick bad camos.
If you didn't make this video, I would bought a rucksack .... thank you Lars you are Awesome ! ☺️❤️
Another great review of a decent looking Smock
Thanks again Lars! You're simply amazing.
So you could really put an overnight kit right in the jacket I'd like to see that great smock take care brother
Those neck and shoulder panels look like goretex so might serve as both wet protection but also for breathability from sweat and over heating.
Awesome camo pattern
That reminds me a little of the Wehrmacht paratroops smock. I didn't try to spell the German name. Very useful jacket.
Eric Corse
liber munster or something similar it's based on a German ww2 patern as far as I can gaver
Leibermuster.
Here is some info on Canis Lupus Lupus and some history of hunting in Russia. I don't know how accurate it is. I didn't know the Borzois was used to fearlessly track and lay down wolves. They are fast runners, but they look quite fragile today. Hunting with hounds was stopped in Russia in 1861.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_wolf
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting_in_Russia
Notice the photo of the moderne wolf hunters. They are using snowmobiles and double barrels, with the same amo belt that Lars showed us in a previous video. It is quite a pack they have shot there.
Your style is the awesomeness style
hehe yesterday i just bought this jacket with the backpack from a fair, for like 10$ . happy i've found it
ok i confused myself, by posting from 2 accounts lol, anyway got the jacket today love it fits perfectly, and i wanna add man this one is in excellent shape i mean wow! almost new looking! thumbs up on this!
"Fashion talk"< "hipster talk!" 😂
Another Great video thanks sharing!
Thanks for another great video and thanks for posting a link to VYATKA Hunters channel (subbed to him as well). I've enjoyed the videos on your channel for a while & like the content VYATKA Hunter has been posting as well.
Me gusta ese camuflaje suizo...ropa de excelente calidad
Good Jacket.
I like it
Nice vid. Seems like it would work well with a Gore Tex liner. Laughed at your fashion comment. It's camo. It could be the ugliest thing, but if where you're going is ugly and it conceals you, it works!
Its very well known for special cleaning in Bale and Zuricj
I've been looking at this system for at least a decade now, and have yet to get one. Years back I remember seeing the whole set up of these Swiss camo and it was really cheap. I ordered the set but got an email a couple days later saying they had sold out. I checked back every so often and have never found my size in stock since. They sell these on sportsmansguide.com for a decent price and still don't have a larger size. I will eventually get a set, thanks for the breakdown of the jacket, have a nice weekend.
Awesome jacket 👍🤘👊
Often 'Swiss Made' means 'in a class by itself' top notch gear. While I will relate the fact that materials, hardware, sewing, and camouflage are all meaningful part of a system of first-rate quality... A Swiss soldier in the Alps on alpine maneuvers is highly likely to complain about the M/70 field jacket/weight-bearing combination. Simply said... weight-bearing 'systems' incorporating primary dress has very little place. They are all too often clumsy, unnecessarily heavy with complexity, and a good mountain pack makes better carry sense. My 'testing' of this jacket would place the pros emphasis on: A.) Construction qualities as very gooD., B.) Camo is well suited to many of my Alaska seasonal environments. C.) Cool Factor when I am carrying/shooting my K-31 AWESOME! D.) Intricacies of design are interesting and fun. HOWEVER!!! 1.) The cons are heavier and more complex than practical. 2.) Once wet --- stays wet!!! What is surprising is that it can absorb a lot of wet to point of near saturation and does not feel too cold or uncomfortable... but it will take a long time to completely dry. 3.) Even in largest sizes... sleeves are way too short and it stems from improper geometry at shoulders vs. just sleeves themselves. I like this coat for the nostalgia, fun, and history. The oversized 'SMOCK' systems like the Brits and Russians are using is far more adaptable in the north country.
It's an interesting jacket indeed. I'm not familiar with at all though. I'm not a fan of heavily loaded jackets either, and have no plans on filling it to full capacity. I do think it can be useful for leaving camp on a small scout of the area or hunt. For carrying a smaller backup kit such as food pouch, extra gloves, poncho and such, it will be OK I think. For a field working jacket it should do fine too. I was not aware of the "funky" sizing, but you are right of course. My jacket is size 56 and should be big, but the sleeves fit me perfectly. I normally use 54.
I bought one for fishing from surplus in excellent condition for 12€, believe or not! Regards from Serbia! :)
Oh yeah? I got mine for 6.
Matthäus Alteration I will put you a link. This store is near my house...;)
Haha! Now it is even cheaper. Only 10€:D
www.mmoc.rs/shop/odeca/jakna-svajcarske-vojske/
Ah, you're better off, I waited a week for the delivery on mine.
Matthäus Alteration Take a look, in this store you can find a lot of cheap and quality stuff. From surplus, and a new also. Many things I bought here, and I don't need to order and wait, because a store is a few min by foot from me. :)
I Have that Jacket.very Good
Quite a lot of things you can fit to a jacket. I'm a little bit jelous (once again) of sites you can see, here is only factories and 'kneipe' ;)
If the jacket is as oldschool as the famous Bundeswehr Parka, then this sturdy material inside of the jacket might be a layer of plastic. I had an old school Bundeswehr Parka once and I cut the plastic out because it was noisy, I think it sheds rain (although the cloth is wet in this case) and maybe prevents the backpack from rubbing the shoulders too much, I am not sure.
I bought one next will be sweater
Funky camo :D
Your videos are awesome. Greetings from Manhattan new york.
I thought you were going to break out blue steel (Zoolander) during your fashion talk. 😂😂 Would you buy the spectre skwo again, or do you feel it’s not the best quality? Keep up the great vids Lars!
The SKWO from SSO is great. It is still in one piece and I still use it :)
Great video :)
You can put a poncho in there also
