What Do you put into a m28 Haversack

[Ryan B]

Hey guys does anybody have pictures or explanations of what the inside of the pack or what goes into a m28 haversack.
Thanks
Ryan

Hi Ryan, in the Meat Can pouch goes the mess tin, knife, fork and spoon.

In the pack proper goes the blanket, tent half, poles and pegs: spare clothing/underwear, washing kit. But to carry all of this you would need the Pack Carrier or tail.

The pack is really a lousy design. I don't have the field manual any longer.

Cheers, Ade.

I agree with Ade, it's a terrible thing to have to use. I am speaking from reenacting experience.

They were good for situations like D-Day, where everyone had to go into combat carrying what they would need later, but after that it was pretty much useless.

Hi Ryan, I could teach you how to use it if I had it in hand. But explaning it over the net is not easy. Basically the load is rolled up and the pack done up around it.

Cheers, Ade.
