just been walkies with my m60 pack, found a live pigeon floating in the local canal. pigeon rescued all dry now and flew off. Pigeon shows respect by not pooping on the m60.
You've probably figured this out by now, if you rearrange the leather part of the strap so the metal clip on bit clips into the middle d ring at the top, then put the longest part of the leather through the thing in the middle of the pack at the back. It seems to level everything out and the clips don't come out at the top even if you don't bend them.
The paper you found inside said:List of what is inside:Tanktop,Underwear,summer socks,winter socks,towel,washcloth,tissues,and the rest i cannot translate i dont even know those last 4 things because I am Czech and it was probably used by the slovak army because of the spelling(Slovakia has a very very similar language to Czech Republic)and I just dont know the translation.And i translate the things as they go from top to bottom.
Dan Bojer Thanks again Dan.

I googled it, next I think is:
belt*
webbing
(Cant find anything for šie)
strap with buckle/girdle something like that
some other type of webbing attachment (www.army-store.net/images/sklady/22320j.jpg)
I can't read the handwritten item
TheOutdoorGearReview Hi, so I try also to translate the list you found in the rucksack :-).Content list (but I think it is list for new soldier who was called for basic service, it was in comunism for every man for two years, in Czechoslovakian folk army... it is like a basic stuff for every soldier). 0. (handwrited) Shirt 1. Undershirt; 2. Boxer shorts; 3. (Crossed-out: foot rags - en.valka.cz/attachments/12688/onuce.jpg ) summer socks; 4.(foot rags) winter socks; 5.Towel; 6. Dish towel; 7. Tissue; 8. Belt (strap) for attasch trousers leg (maybe this thing, don't know english term for that www.combatcamp.cz/spinky.JPG ); 9. "Y" straps (bearing straps); 10. Suspenders (shoulder straps); 11. belt with buckle; 12 Slider (? the right term) for belt ( this thing www.csla-borotin.estranky.cz/img/mid/29/posuvky-k-opasku.jpg ) 13. dress strap (this one www.army-surplus.cz/upload/2278067/pic1_full.jpg ) and it is all. But I'm very happy if I saw someone who review and likes our (Czech) old school army stuff, I thought none likes it except czechs :-). (And I hope it is understadable, because my english is not good).
Torsten Våtservetter Awesome! :D
@@ceryni11 "šle" are slings (something like harnes)
I got rid of the original straps and installed Alice pack straps. Great improvement.
Very informative, and helped me get the straps hooked up correctly. One thing--on the short, "loose" straps that nobody seems to know quite what to do with: they can each be clipped to the strap on the opposite side of the chest, creating a chest strap that might be helpful, and would certainly keep the shoulder straps from slipping out of place. Just a thought.
The Crossed sword is the Czech Army Acceptance mark followed by the year of acceptance.
HardyPrep Ahhh, thank you HardyPrep.

I'm sure not many people are reading these comments anymore, but the strap system is really more of a suspension system designed to work with the military issued belt. There are two leather loops with square steel rings that slide onto the belt. The dangly straps on the front attach to those. That leather strap at the back runs down and attaches to the issued belt. This makes it much more comfortable to carry, especially if you're adding heavier or bulky items. Any decently wide military web belt should work though.
For example, you have little canvas straps on the sides and bottom that will allow you to tie on other equipment like a short brush axe, e-tool or machete. You could roll up a bedroll and tuck it under the flap and tie it down. The straps on the bottom will also allow you to add items to your pack.
If you want to take this pack out though, I'd seriously suggest adding some kind of waterproofing to it. A simple oilskin treatment of linseed oil and mineral spirits works, or a fabric wax of some sort. The linen soaks up water super fast, fyi. If the Czechs did treat these, whatever they used has probably long since worn off.
Thanks for this video!
I had a hard time trying to figure out the strap system, until I found this guide! ;)
DireStraitsInImpala I'm glad that it helped. Talk about one confusing setup! haha
- Luke
I've been looking for this specific pack FOREVER since I played Metro 2033. Finally I know the developers didn't stick to strictly Russian gear.
CTA SITREP Wow no kidding, they modeled this pack in a game?
- Luke
This pack is almost a direct copy of the German Army pack from WW2. If it ain't broke!
I got one for $10 from Keep Shooting. I can't say I care for the straps at all. I put a shoulder strap from a US 2-quart canteen carrier on it, and it works fine as a shoulder bag as long as I don't overload it. Mine also came with a packing list with some common field items. It's a cool companion for my CZ-52 pistol!
That paper was a list of items, including onuce(socks) and rucnik(towel), probably some soldier left it in rucksacks pocket
Seems like a good pack. I cut off the straps that hang off the back straps and removed part of that leather backing because it’s just in the way.
Medium ALICE pack with straps and frame $25 at the gun show. Thanks.
panzerabwerkanone Sweet score! Enjoy it brother.
- Luke
mmmm the old rucksack always INDEMMODABLE ET SOLIDE MERCI MAN
3:30
I went and researched that and I think that is an acceptance marking. The "52" represents the year and the crossed swords is the symbol for the Czech military. Anyway, thanks for posting this video! I am definitely going to check these out!
I have a backpack of this kind. It's a very durable backpack that's enough for a 1-2 day trip in nature.
crossed swords is sign of our military .nice video by the way
I love how the Y-straps are almost an exact copy of the Y-straps used by the Germans in WW2
Old video,, but it explained more than I could find by searching.. Thanks..
The piece of paper you found says:Shirt, t-shirt, summer underwear, socks (summer and winter), towel, kitchen towel, handkerchief, belt, military carry system (you could say it's something like ALICE system) braces, belt with buckle, etc
Glad you reviewed this ruck, Luke. Major Surplus and Survival has the leather strap version for 10. I think I may get one because, well, for 10 U.S., it's cool. It'll make a nice day pack for traipsing around in the woods, shooting guns ( I live in the rural mountains in the U.S. South. We do a lot of shooting and stuff up here, surrounded by miles of woods in the Great Smokies with no cops and neighbors for miles ). It looks kinda like it doesn't hold very much gear ( I like my ILBE with assault pack, Fox 3 day Combat Pack, and LAPG Atlas 72 ), but it seems nice and light and will hold extra ammo, some food, water, my meds, a trauma kit ( just in case ), some general stuff like paracord, compass, etc........, and some whiskey for a day of walking around the woods shooting stuff. That way, I can bring more and stronger firepower lol ( we do have some dangerous wildlife in these mountains and carry guns for more than just fun ). I think a can of Scotch Guard will be good to weatherproof it. Thanks again :)
Nice day pack. Your right replacing those straps would be a good idea. Thanks.
Opal Preston Shirley Sure thing my friend.
Take care of yourself.
- Luke
before i watch this i;m going to come right out and say ive been using the m60 for several years as a daypack and i love the dang thing.
i now own three, one of which i used 'Duck Back' to waterproof tthe pack...even better!!!...ok then, on with the preview!...woods
***** That sounds great David.
Have you made any modifications to the pack?
Be well my friend.
- Luke
Sweet pack brother ;)-
Living Survival Not to shabby at all.
Take care my friend.
- Luke
I bought one before the school year started, I'm a sophomore in high school and hope it'll last a long time. it's probably the oldest pack in school and I love it. the only problem is that it takes longer to open up. i was wondering what year the m60 is from, I've looked online but with no good results
its sixties issue... our soldiers wear it during soviet occupation of czechoslovakia which happened in 1968, and interesting thing: its little upgraded ww1 austro-hungarian rucksack
Year that it was officially adopted by the military. Contract could have lasted longer & sustained modification. M60 mod 1, M60 mod 2 etc. New contract new number.
Haha i did the same thing, sophomore this year, How did it go?
The crossed swords signify that it was made in Czechoslovakia and the number is the year of manufacture
actually Luke...that pack is made from Linen...they also make them in canvas though i prefer the linen as you display...woods
Wow for $10 I could make this a $50 pack easily that is a great deal for a day pack.
PureTazr No doubt about it my friend.
- Luke
ordered three of these for , $ 22.00 from Sportsman Guide. Straps are tricky to figure out, thanks.
Luke. All wrong the way you have rigged the straps and described this. If you want to set this up correctly UA-cam German Ww2 y strap setup. This Hungarian pack and straps are a direct copy of the Wermacth m31 and M44 rucksacks. The Hungarian were Allies of Germany in WW2 so much of their field gear were direct copies to the stuff the German Army were using.
The leather Y strap goes down directly thru the little loop. Straight down, not up and around. It is attached to the bottom of your leather belt. This pack is only meant to be worn integral w a leather belt ie German and Warsaw Pact style.
Next, all wrong on the cloth loops on the side of the pack. These ARE NOT to attach the extra straps too! These side loops are used to attach a bedroll using separate leather straps on each loop. Think a US Marine 1941 backpack w Camo roll around the top n sides. So the bedroll would attach to the sides n top of pack using those loops and leather straps straps or bedroll straps.
Luke. Big fan, but man do some research before presenting surplus items you aren’t familiar w. If folks aren’t using this w a leather belt they really aren’t using this pack to its fullest. Also never ever use pliers to bend the hooks. If you use a plain old leather cowboy belt or other and place the hooks of the straps under the belt this system takes all the weight off your load much like modern mole or a full setup Alice system would. The beauty of the pack is its ability to stay on firm and ergonomic but when you want to just slip off the pack for speed while keeping your ammo pouches buttpack and canteen on for scouting, you just slide off the pack. If you have used pliers to bend your hooks as Luke did, you have just ruined this cool ability as it was used by German and Hungarian soldiers.
Was US Army Intel during the Cold War in Europe and saw these packs often as worn by our adversaries across the border. Cool setup.
please luke get your hands on a 82 pattern canadian army rucksack! i'm sure you will like it!
+The wilderness survivors the frame is terrible on the 82 Pattern for durability and the sacks themselves are prone to fraying (the fraying isn't a huge issue, I just melt the edges). The hardest part is finding one in good condition and complete. In the USA I'ld imagine that any Canadian gear is about as rare as hens teeth.
+TurtleWolf Pack In almost 60 years of scrounging through Army Navy and Surplus the only thing Ive found Canadian was coins.
you are not searchiong on the web aren't you?
The wilderness survivors You know, if I can find another cheap (most have over inflated prices) I should send a couple to reviewers south of the 49th. I almost wish I could understand French Canadian, looks like you have some interesting videos!
yes i have interestings videos! and i don't know, i got mine from a friend. I only saw them on ebay
tílko - undershirt
trenky - shorts (underpants)
ponošky - socks
ručník - towel
utierka (SK) - dishtowel
kapesník - handkerchief
remeň do nohavíc (SK) - belt in the trousers leg
remení nosné (SK) - support belts
šlé "kšandy" - suspenders
opasok s prackou (SK) - strap with buckle
posúvka k opásku (SK) - accidentals to the belt
The canvas looks very thin. Not sure how hard wearing it is.
Hi I really like your wives Pillows, where can I purchase them? Thank you
Oh the guys have all ready done the translation for you in the comments, read before one take too much action. :o) Nice day.
I've seen these rucks and ones that have that metal ring at the top that seem to be attached to the straps. My question is are there different straps that give you the metal ring at the top or is it the leather strap just hung over the top?
Do you think there would be a way to rig a place to put a bed roll or blanket on the bottom? Same question for the M85.
Not surprising that it appears to be a variation of the Soviet veskmeshok which based on some videos I have seen I think the Russians still used this design for the VDV airborne. Anyway the Russian version dates from WW1.
this is little upgraded ww1 austro-hungarian rucksack
repak05
There is alot of old designs still around or just going out of use. The Norwegians used the original Bergan rucksack that essentially was unchanged except for the bag material since 1916. They just officially put them to pasture in 2012 but apparently still see limited use.
This didn't called m60 rucksacks. It wasn't designed in 1960 but in late 40's. It was used in 50's on nattle uniform. By the time they were changing the material. I belive that your example is from early 50's.
Yes, obviously there were early and late examples of rucksacks, there are some differences between them. We can see this one was made in 1952 (3:31), so it's "early" and of course not so-called M60.
Do you think you could easily fit a sleeping back in the pack?
Make sure you look in the camera that is viewing, it looks odd when we see you from side for no reason XD In the news they always use the camera that the reporter is looking at
magicshon I happen to agree. Something I have been experimenting with. Cheers.
- Luke
Cool pack, just ordered two, but cannot find the leather straps, do you sell them?
i have an m60 and just happen to have this pack lol airsoft m60 anyway
Aw man, I want one. Too bad I'm broke. If I had money I'd have a bunch of rucksacks AND be broke. LOL
***** Haha I have a feeling these packs will be around for a while.
Take care of yourself my friend.
- Luke
That would be horribly uncomfortable to wear - at least, I can't lug around my vz60 pack without having it hooked to the belt. The strap length and distribution just isn't meant for it to be carried separately from the rest of the harness.
Awsome! Do you know if they send stuff to México? I was searching on the webside but i didn't found the info.
Daniela Valle I have no idea.
I would email them and see what they say.
Cheers,
- Luke
Oh well...I guess only perfectly worded and happy comments are left to be seen here. All others are deleted.
Patrick Caple Hey there Patrick, nothing is being delete on this end. Let me check if they were marked as spam. I haven't seen any of your posts though.
Cheers.
- Luke
cowboy style :D
that ruck must be around 1960's issue
joshua nichols Definitely an old one. Great condition considering the age.
- Luke
+TheOutdoorGearReview
Its 1952 thats why it have 52 mark on it:-D
I'm still left wondering how the Y straps work, and what the point of that leather piece in the middle is.
Seriously, I watched again, and what the hell is the purpose of that leather piece in the middle and the two thinner longer straps??
The M60 ruck is part of the Czechoslovakian army webbing system, the strap down the back and two extra straps on the shoulder straps attack to the combat belt on which is attached the magazine pouches, canteen, shovel, gas mask bag, bayonet, etc., that forms the combat webbing.
The leather patch on the back of the Y-strap rests against your back so when your ruck is loaded it doesn't put pressure on the metal D ring into your back.
WarHorse21
Thanks!
Basically. He's not suppose to do that. It is actually suppose to go onto the suspenders and the metal pieces should go through the straps on a belt. It it kinda like American Y harness set up.
if youre over 6'.. the straps gonna be too small
The 52 and two swords mean 52.Infantry Company
Dan Bojer Thanks Dan.
- Luke
Dan Bojer It is not true, HardyPrep have true, it is acceptance mark and sign of czechoslovakian folk army (and now mark Army of Czech republic). And I'm not sure, that ČSLA had 52nd infantry company, but I think not.
Just ordered one as they were going for $10 equivalent, haha.
This is not czech rucksack. These rucksacks were used by former socialistic ČSLA = Československa lidová armáda = Czechoslovak People's Army which existed till the end of the year 1989.
it would be nice if you do your videos outside and not indoor...just saying
Massimiliano Fantucci It's not possible in this environment all the time.
Cheers.
- Luke
*Czechoslovakian rucksack
Do not now why people that are so stupid to read something about the bag like that it is czechoslovakian do videos about it
