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 commercial camouflage pattern - the US Camoreal®, in this case on a light synthetic fabric. It has been reinforced at the bottom with material from a German Army shelter tarp and has an external pocket closed with Velcro. There's additional Velcro for a patch - delivered with a blank patch - as well as some for a name-tape above the pocket. The 1 in wide carrying sling is made from Olive Drab MILSPEC webbing and this Veshmeshok is lined in Olive drab over-dyed cotton fabric salvaged from a tablecloth.

Size: ca. 23 in x 18 in

Like most of my bags this one also comes with a fact sheet detailing the materials used.
