Running all this Russian gear I felt like I had to take the AK out too, and since the only rule on deer guns here is that it uses a soft point 55 grain heavier bullet I was good to go. In one of my early tests I did I knew I could go down to the 40s rather comfortably with a wool blanket and poncho liner so I was hoping to get around the same performance with two wool blankets. Since I didn’t want to burn my location I would be running a cold camp with noise and light discipline. My plan for this outing was to sneak into the woods on my land, set up an overnight spot and then turn it into a deer blind in the morning to see what I could get. I tried to get a picture with it on so you can see this is a really manageable little set up. With the Plash Palatka bed roll in place I kept the main bag off your back and I suspect would have made it so you didn’t have to be as careful with your load out.
RUSSIAN PLASH PALATKA HOW TO
The Veshmeshok has a few quarks, one of them being that you have to think about how to load it up or else you’ll have an uncomfortable bag with stuff poking you in the back. What you end up with is a good sized little package.Īnd here you can see better how the straps run over the bed roll. Now what I like to do is tuck my ends up into the bottom strap so that my blankets don’t get dirt or debris on them and so the ends don’t just dangle around waiting to snag stuff.
Starting out you just make the bed roll into a horse shoe running it under the shoulder straps. Now mine is modified with a zipper access so I can get it open without undoing the shoulder straps every time but it was still interesting to discover this little bit. I found that since the bag is closed by the shoulder straps not running them over the bed roll means you can’t get inside the bag. Most people think it was to help the bag ride higher on your back. But in pictures the common Russian way to wear it is with the straps of the bag over the bed roll. Now common logic is to strap it to the two straps without doing anything crazy. This allowed me to set the whole thing up in the dark without needing to see what I was doing knowing how everything was laid out and folded up inside.Īfter that it was time to add it to the Veshmeshok. In this cased I made the hood corner my top, and the opposite end my bottom. I like to then make it look neat and tuck everything away into the folds so I don’t have any dangly bits to snag on stuff. Now I have a roll approximately 6 inches or so across. Step three: Fold the two ends one last time Step one: Placing my two blankets folded in half on the Plash Palatka First thing I did was set up my bed roll.
