Great Ruck
Very happy with my purchase. Ruck was in much better condition than I expected. Took advantage of the $50 off glad I did. Got this to compliment the P83 Battle Jack I bought earlier. Can't wait to complete the set when the P83 chest rig when restocked. Would recommend buying these before there gone for good.

Helluva good ruck sack
I ordered the Grootsak and received it just a few days later. Condition is better than described; very little wear. All straps and buckle present and functional. Huge internal spaces for several days worth of kit. Inside of top flap has soldier scribble and names giving it a storied history. Very pleased. The SADF made some awesome webbing back in the day. Get yours while you can.

This pack is amazing! Can’t wait to test it out while hiking, and I have reading material to go along with it
