The low cost Czech MSS

[judomayhem]

This particular style weighs about 5lbs and is done in a bedroll configuration. I'd guess a privately made version would be in the $200 range. These go on eBay for $20 plus $15 shipping.
Several decent videos of them are posted on YouTube. As is, probably only a three season item.

In this vid, a guy showed how he modded his to cut the weight in half.

Interesting. You know, for the price, that might make a nice thing to have in a cache or such.

Link to vid? Czech miss universe pulled up when I did a quick search.

That would also work for something to keep in the trunk for break downs and such.

Fixed it. Rather than buy that lightweight sleeping bag shown in the vid, I think I'll swap out the heavy wool blanket for the thinner GI one I have and/or a woobie. The cool thing about bedrolls is that you can layer up or down as needed. In the Army, I would sorta use this concept by using the lighter bag of the MSS combined with the woobie sometimes. At NTC in July, I just used the bivy and my woobie. The less weight/bulk in my ruck the better.

Sil nylon tarp..2xblack diamond down throws sewed together.
What I've contemplated doing. The 2 pack throw,are sub30$ .
I've got one. It's super light and perfect for 50ish temps.

Does anyone know where else they are selling these?
