Mokoman pakkaaminen ja mukana rahtaaminen on joskus hyvin ikävää Vesmeshok repun lenkeissä, mutta silloin kun silloin kun sitä tarvitsee niin korvaakin kaikki ikävät hetket, plussana tyylikäs. Tuli yöllä kuulasotiessa aika kylmät kelit yllättäen, ja tästä tulikin täydellinen mukana kulkeva peitto ja piti kaiken epämukavan irti muusta sotasetistä, ei päästä vettäkään läpi.

Ostin enimmäkseen koristeeksi koska ajattelin et jos haluaa olla ruski niin se viedään sitten loppuun asti, yllätyin. As Plashes arrive in our warehouse, we sort out the ropes and will sell them separately for those in need. Some of these had a piece of hemp rope hidden inside. Still, even the unissued ones might well be a bit dusty after decades of storage and some have other signs of storage, like slight fading here or there from the sun. Most are in totally unissued condition, but since some are used we simply label these all as "used army surplus".

When you have wandered the realm long enough to wear the water repellent treatment down, you can use fabric wax to reproof it! Russian army surplus If you wash it, the color will fade and the water repellency (if present anymore) will suffer. Made from very tightly woven and impregnated cotton, measurements 180 x 180 cm / 71" x 71", weight about 1.3 kg / 2.8 lbs. Both work just as well, we do not differentiate. There are a few variations of these, one with leather reinforced corner holes, one with brass grommets. In almost every use it's just a tad too small on its own, part of the rugged charm! This age-old design can be used as a groundsheet, shelter half, rain/camouflage cape, stretchers, or a top layer for sleeping bag/blanket - you can even make a sort of a raft from these. The time to get one for a relatively low price is right about now. The prices have been on the rise for some time no, and we'll be hell-bent on keeping these in stock as long as possible, no matter the cost. We can only hope some enterprising individuals will smuggle these out in the market as much as possible. Oh no! The Russian army will be destroying every Plash and Veshmeshok in inventory. There are better alternatives on the market, but the Soviet Plash is still the best with its ancient magical aura. Like most shelter halves used by armies worldwide, the Soviet model bends to a multitude of uses.
