Swedish Army LK35 Modification.

Swedish Army LK35 Modification. I wrote a post a few years ago concerning the Swedish Army LK35 and since writing that article I have wanted to complete some modifications on the bag but never got around to it.

The LK325 is such a versatile bag and many people choose it for there bushcraft bag and modify it to there needs. There are many videos on youtube

The LK35 was made by Haglofs from the early 70s for the Swedish Army.

Thanks to Klas Nilsson who contacted me via youtube.

Klas has sent me the packing list and some other images of what they would carry in the LK35.

All of the gear below would be kept dry in a plastic bin liner.

A short hiking Trip to Tyresta.

Finally i’ve gotten around to booking myself a short hiking trip to Tyresta.

It will be a short hiking trip to Tyresta National Park which is just south of Stockholm. It will be solo which I haven’t done for a while.

The Tyresta National Park and Nature Reserve extends over almost 5,000 hectares.

It has been protected to preserve and safeguard its importance .

You can find primeval forest here with pine trees that are 400 years old, clear forest lakes and a large number of unusual plants and animals.

A look back at 2019

A look back to 2019. The year started as every other year: stomach full, the feeling of needing to change diet due to excessive eating and looking ahead to what was planned to happen later in the year.

January.

I had planned to spend more time in producing youtube videos and the first video to be produced was something I had planned to have a go at for a while and this was adapting the Polish Army Lavuu and the Anevay Frontier Stove into a sauna.

This worked really well but there isn’t so much space so you would want to share the space with someone you weren’t that close too!
