V-0122 Veshmeshok / Daypack in Danish M/84 camouflage pattern

The Veshmeshok used to be "just" a simple hundred years old Soviet Army backpack worn by millions of Soviet and Russian soldiers and later via the surplus market by Finnish Hipsters. ;-)
It indeed is a simple yet very practical design coming with only one adjustable sling that at the same time closes the bag and serves as shoulder straps. Simply put - the heavier you fill the bag, the more secure the knot gets in holding it.

I decided to "modernize" the concept and give it new live as the "big brother" of the ubiquitous Hipster Bag / Drawstring bag. And a big brother it is, having way more room and a "proper" sling instead of strings. Also, all Veshmeshoks feature an external pocket.

This one comes in a modern European camouflage pattern - the Danish M/84, in this case salvaged from a tarp-like Danish Army shelter half. It has been reinforced at the bottom with heavy Cordura in the same pattern and it has an external pocket closed with Velcro. There's additional Velcro for a patch as well as some for a name-tape above the pocket. The 1 in wide red carrying sling is made from stocks of webbing from an aircraft manufacturer, as have been the additional four straps for external storage. The latter were fitted with black snap-buckles. This Veshmeshok is lined with red cotton fabric from leftovers from curtain making.

Size: ca. 23 in x 18 in
