Genuine Finnish Army External Frame Rucksack – 90L Olive
The "Tank" of Military Rucksacks
The Finnish Army 90L Framed Rucksack is legendary among survivalists and bushcrafters for one reason: it is virtually indestructible. Engineered for the Finnish Defence Forces to perform in the punishing sub-arctic conditions of the North, this pack is a "heavy hauler" designed to carry everything you need for weeks in the wilderness.
Unlike modern internal-frame bags that can buckle under pressure, this rucksack features a classic external steel frame, providing the structural integrity needed for massive loads while allowing vital airflow between your back and the pack.
Key Features & Specifications
-
Massive 90L Capacity: A gargantuan main compartment complemented by two tall side pockets and a front utility pocket—all protected by a large storm lid.
-
External Steel Frame: Distributes weight to the hips efficiently and serves as a modular platform for lashing extra gear (axes, bedrolls, or fuel cans).
-
Rubberised Waterproof Fabric: Constructed from heavy-duty, PVC-coated or rubberised nylon, making the main body almost entirely impervious to rain, snow, and mud.
-
Authentic Leather Harness: Features thick, durable leather shoulder straps and attachment points, built to withstand decades of friction and tension.
-
Cold-Weather Optimized: Every buckle and strap is designed to be operated while wearing thick winter gloves.
-
Finnish Engineering: Sourced from genuine military stock, often manufactured by renowned gear makers like Savotta.
The Ultimate Expedition & Bushcraft Pack
This isn't just a backpack; it’s a piece of specialized equipment. The external frame design is a favorite for Bushcraft Basecamps because the bag can be removed from the frame, allowing you to use the frame alone to haul firewood or heavy carcasses.
Its olive drab aesthetic and vintage silhouette make it a standout for collectors, while its sheer utility makes it the first choice for:
-
Deep Winter Camping: Fits oversized arctic sleeping bags and multi-fuel stoves with ease.
-
Rugged Rucking: The steel frame provides a stable platform for weighted training.
-
Off-Grid Expeditions: When failure isn't an option, the "over-built" Finnish construction provides peace of mind.
Condition Note: Grade A+

-
