- A short video review of the new British issue Repirator Haversack i've just accquired and some of it's outstanding features that make it an awesome day pack for Bushcrafters on a budget.
Good review. A very functional bit of kit. I use 2 as bike panniers which are easily fixed to rear rack, wrapping the Molle straps around top rail and shortened leg straps to fix to side rails. The addition of narrow Rok strap further secures through the D rings and top rails. Much better quality than a bike specific side bag, the side pouches afford ample space for tools, spares, first aid and snacks.I just need to practice paracord wrapping to make some detachable carry handles.
This video & the your neat trick with the strap turned the tide for me. Found an unissued complete one for $20 in the freaking U.S.! The build of this thing, it’s a bloody tank!
Cant find one for under $ 40 now.
Getting ready for the second season of use with mine. I've just picked apart the stitching that makes the divided pair of internal pockets on the right hand side. It's freed up lots of more packable space, with room now for spare laces, walkman radio and earphones, extra matches, first-aid kit in baccy tin, sighting compass, GPS, headlamp and compeed blister pouch.
The section on the right hand side has an extra layer of padding compared with the left that just has an outer of unlined proofed cordura. Could be useful for delicate opticals or electronics.
The detachable side pouches (FLAP, POUCH - FIELD PACK) really annoyed me last year - too small for useful bottles/flasks and they catch in the bushes. Both have been removed, and I've found the molle webbing on the main bag to be really useful for securing a camera tripod.
Just for completeness; OS maps, notebooks, pencils and magnifying glass fit neatly in the left hand divided section, the main section has lunch box, 500cc thermos, emergency orange bag, "survival blanket", handwipes, tissues, 10x25 folding binos and there's still room for a snack or two.
Excellent bags.
Thanks for the informative review. I was considering getting one of these, now I'm sold! I really like the music you use in the your video.
Big value for money. Worth it just for the two detachable molle pockets.
Really neat tip on improvising it into a back pack! Well done.
Simon Signolet thanks buddy, I thought it was a handy little trick! ☺️
Brilliant review Paul. I have been slowly buying some cooking / bush craft kit for a while now . After watching this video I have ordered one from e-bay. I had been looking at shooting game bags but this is the perfect size and price. Cheers
ralphthebrick Thanks Ralph, they’re awesome bags for the money. Really versatile and expandable, and the build quality is definitely top notch! ATB Paul.
An excellent review Paul, bought one for shooting to replace my old OG S6 respirator bag that could carry four boxes of SG cartridges, this bag carries 6. It's a blinder, and all of my shooting mates, many ex-squaddies, are impressed. It has that British Army G10 water-proof indestructibility about it and I can't recommend them highly enough.
Never seen those bags before. Looks interesting I just might pick one up. Thanks for the video. - Marco
That's an amazing review. Loved it. Cheers.
Think I paid 15 quid for mine, cracking little pouch and only slightly smaller than the rockets each side so a modified ammo grab bag sits over it great and Bergen is well supported by all three 👍
awesome bit of kit info! Love it
Michael Canning thanks Michael, glad you liked it! 😁
great haversack I have the old 95ptn but think I will be investing in one of those.
Thanks for sharing

Just ordered one (before watching the video) but I really thought it was a bit smaller. Well let‘s see....

Looks great!
Hi paul! Can the side pouches fit the swiss M84 canteen and cup? Thanks👍🙂
Hi,thanks for this video, one question, please,¿Do you think that this field pack is compatible with suspenders USA M 1967, like butt pack?.BEST regards.

James Case hi buddy, there are loads of people selling them on ebay in the uk.
Sorry but how can you do a review on an item for a use that is not it's intended function? It's an absolute ballache to secure properly when you're in full kit and you are using it to hold your resi, I'll tell you for free!
It works for the purpose he intended it for.
No offense but you kind of look like a young Alex Jones.
@@nicholasjkane I agree that AJ comes off as unbalanced and manic, but almost everything he has talked about has come true or been proven correct which is frightening.
Bet you changed your mind now
