Great bag, love that website where you got it from btw. have a few things on my wish list right now. And will be purchasing 1 or 2 of them when I get my next GST check in October.
Paul, I just wax treated my polish bread bag with buckle mods. It looks and functions perfectly. Looks great with structure and waterproofed now. Amazing bag now.
Awesome! I need to get another one, a small tear at the cinch buckle has become larger, my sewing skills are poor so it's easier to just order another.
I've strapped my rolled up Polish Lavvu tent under my Polish bread bag and have the Pomoly Mini tent stove inside the bag with the chimney inside a PVC pipe tucked under the top flap.. I've basically got a proper winter camping and wood stove setup in a bag that's smaller than my childhood school backpack..lol
That's awesome. I have been playing with ideas for haversack loads for hikes and camps. It really does force you to be minimal and to the point. Thanks for watching!
I'm going to have to look at this bag closer. I have a Swiss bread bag that I'm going to sell and get something different. I have a Finnish gas mask bag that is my primary haversack right now; good bag, but I'm always looking. 😁
In the meantime, I spent a couple hours this afternoon making a simple canvas haversack similar to the ones sold by popular bushcraft stores. I need to wax it yet, but got it all made.
You’re strapping it wrong. The long straps go down the back of the bag, through the molle loops at the back, then under and through the buckles at the bottom, this gives you a way of carrying a tarp underneath the bag and also you can put it n your hip!
Yep, I have one of these and was about to mention the straps when I saw these other posts. I use the straps that go underneath to hold a folding seat pad, fits perfect and helps keep the base sturdy.
Those long straps are meant to go round the back of the bag so you can attach it to a bigger bag or on your belt and also for a bed roll or poncho or Basha. I got one of these, they’re Polish, it’s the best deigned bread bag of any of the other ones, I love it!
Thanks for the feedback Mat. For a new version of a contemporary haversack try the hiddenwoodsmen, Malcolm in the US makes them in his business. I do like the Polish one but mine has a tear that is in a bad place, need to get another one some day. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
Paul Buikema I’ve probably got too many haversacks to get another, I’ll check it out though . I like the NVA East German rain pattern bread bag. I got some to use as cycle panniers- they have waterproof lining, but my favourite (at the moment) is the Romanian one, it’s a bread bag that matches their excellent rucksack (that’s on my “must have” list 😁). The Romanian one is thicker material to the Polish and it has an integral excellent strap. It also has leather fixing points so you can belt a tarp onto it. I doesn’t have all the pockets, but, overall, it is a lot tougher.
Uhhhh, those long straps go through the back Molle tabs and underneath the bag to those front buckles. I believe they are there to help give support to the bag and to collapse it down when not full to keep it flat as possible against the body.
Paul, the 2000 is still the name of that Mora. The Companion is a different model. The Kansbol is similar to the 2000 with a different handle. What are "coffee sticks" and where do you get them? Are they intended as coffee stirrers?
Have you opened a can with that "can opener" ? Looked like a bottle opener to me. Why didn't you use the front straps to close bag? If you put back straps in loops and fasten to bottom buckles you will have belt loops to use. You can also use back straps to carry poncho under the bag.
I would like to ask you a question about your bag. Unlike yours, the bag that I have doesn’t have snapes on the inside flaps, but it has buttons, other than that, it looks to be the same bag. Could you tell me what’s up here?
Hi John I guess thats the issue with foreign surplus, limited options and ay the mercy of the seller. I prefer buttons as I think they are less stressful to the fabric overall.
Привет из России. По поводу сумки - это не более, чем различия по годам. Просто сумка со временем модернизировалась, и скорее всего - для удешевления производства. Либо - для упрощения. У вас, вероятно, сумка раннего производства.
@@johnfranta6937 I have duplicated my comment. And I would like to add that after the 1941-1945 war, many countries had weak economies. Poland is one of those countries. For this reason, the equipment for the army was relatively simple - with buttons, for example. And it was only over the years that the equipment improved. As a rule, if a thing is cheap to produce and reliable, then there will be minor differences from earlier versions. However, the economic factor has not been canceled. It may well be that the bag from the video was released, for example, in 1986 at a confectionery factory in the city of Lyubov, and the one that you have in 1984, in the village of Pizden.It's just that the company couldn't put buttons on the pockets, and put buttons instead.
@@johnfranta6937 Hello from Russia. As for the bag, it's nothing more than differences by year. It's just that the bag has been upgraded over time, and most likely - to reduce the cost of production. Or - to simplify it. You probably have an early production bag.
As far as I know it is a real Mora, it was labeled the same as other Mora knives I have bought. I think I got it off Ebay though so anything is possible. I still have it but haven't used it much to be honest. I switched my regular hike and camp knife to a Gerber prodigy shortly after making this video. I carry that 90% of the time when I go out, which hasn't been often the last 6 months. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Decent bag, but very poor contents. The problem with haversacks is that too many people fill them with everything they need, and have no backup. I know how many people put a water bottle in their haversack, but it's not smart at all unless you have a second bottle or canteen on your belt, or on a second should strap as a last resort. Too many think they can't get in serious survival trouble unless they're in deep wilderness, but this just flat wrong, and deadly. If you lost that bag, or have it stolen, and I've seen both happen on a regular basis, you may lose your life right along with it Now, I detest any type of propane stove, anyway. The fuel takes up too much space, triply so in a haversack, it's terrible for the environment, and if you're in that big of a hurry to boil water you should stay home and use the kitchen stove. The woods is about going slow, taking your time, using natural fuels whenever possible, not about a loud hiss and boiling water in thirty seconds. At least make an effort to use a stick stove, or even an alcohol burner/stik stove combo. But whatever it is, you main stove and fuel should never be in a haversack. There's too much to really go into. Almost everything in your bag should be elsewhere, and it's missing the most important thing every haversack should have, which is ROOM for more things you find in the woods or along a trail. If you fill such a bag before you leave home, you did everything wrong.
Thanks for your input, for what I do this isnt as you say 'very poor contents'. I hike and walk in semi urban areas and local wooded parks most often and don't take a kit like this into the virgin woods. I also don't go to forage or collect things so leaving with an almost full bag isn't a problem either. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
@ James Ritchie Quit being such a negative Nancy! You don't know what this man uses his haversack for or what his wants and needs are. You are not the bushcraft/ camping police! So do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up! --- Sam Adler
You managed to fit a ton of things in there nicely. You could comfortably do a full day hiking with that kit with zero issues. Well done
Thank you for watching and takng the time to comment.
I have seen bread bags in military surplus stores but now I might try one out.
Looks like a great little bag, and the price and shipping seem to be right. Thank you for the review, Paul
Looks like you can go a long way with this bag,well thought out

I want to get one of these bags, have been eyeing them for quite some time
pro trick : watch series on kaldroStream. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Toby Wade Yup, I've been using KaldroStream for since december myself =)

Cool. I learn as I go, thanks for your input.
That bag is legit, man. That could *almost* do for an overnighter, provided you pack well. Where did you get that two-egg thang?
The egg holder? Ebay likely.
It does just fine as an overnight bushbag, been using one as my go to shoulder bag for a couple years and it is pretty sweet.
Paul, the 2000 is still the name of that Mora. The Companion is a different model. The Kansbol is similar to the 2000 with a different handle.
What are "coffee sticks" and where do you get them? Are they intended as coffee stirrers?
Choppey sticks. Some made up word for chopsticks. :-)
@@PaulBuikema - Ahhh... gotcha! I'll have to look for a cheap pair of knitting needles to try.
@@outdoordauber i think i paid about $10 cdn fo these Ti ones and they weigh a whole gram less than my stainless steel ones lol
@@PaulBuikema - One whole gram?!? That's the equivalent of 3 squares of TP, isn't it? 😂
I know, its a dig at Shug's gram weenies. lol
Have you opened a can with that "can opener" ?

If you put back straps in loops and fasten to bottom buckles you will have belt loops to use.
You can also use back straps to carry poncho under the bag.
I had to rewatch the video but you are right! I said can opener for the bottle opener. Oops!
Stop! Where’d you get that round stove stand?
Either the canteenshop or the pathfindershop online.
