I can add some context which you might find interesting, seeing as i was trained in this kit use. It forms part of a set called "Rygsæk I /II" One primarily for metal and masonry breaching ( the one you got), the other mainly for carpentry for shoring. They were always used as a set, which allowed having the axe with the bolt cutters to distribute the load evenly. You operated as a two man stretcher team, soeach backpack would also contain a heavy woolen blanket for casualty packing. I addition a rope ( 10 mm x 13m) would go in each pack, So a fair bit heavier when fully loaded. This is why the straps are so comparatively long. The quick release and the sidehandle is to aid your mobility i confined spaces in collapsed buildings. The light rescue section consited of 4 two man stretcher parties thus equipped, a driver and a corporal. Each stretcher party also had a first aidd kit and a bag of splints. When you desmounted each man was carrying about 40 kg o equipment in addition the section had 2 spades, 1 shovel 1 pitchfork, 30 inch crowbar, breaker bar, a sledgehammer 6 kg, and 4 stretchers and 4 ladder sections. This was used for the initial rescue effort. Three sections formed a platoon commanded by a sergeant. I was trained as a sergeant to command a platoon like this We had 4 trucks and 1 dispatch rider to a section. The sections was a fairly capable unit for the initial phases of a rescue. the heavy breaching and shoring gear was carried on the trucks. And we had a good selection og cutting torches, air breakers, bilgepumps, lighting etc. Essentially you could perform any concievable USAR task, and fires would be dealt with by our companion firefighting platoon. Currently a WO1 in the same service, so this reminded me of my first few years in the trade. I hope this gives you a bit of context and background.

Excellent demonstration Sir. I have a friend who buys these old tools, especially U.S., British and German Military tools and actually uses them. Tools of this grade were meant not only to last throughout time, but also endure hard use and weather conditions too. Thanks for the video my Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲

I can hear the testing of the air horns sounding off to get to the nearest Civil Defense shelter marked with red CD on a white triangle on a blue circle. That is one fine kit. Have a group of 8-10 able bodied men, you could tear some ish up. Thanks for sharing.

The pick/mattock is USGI (US Government Issue) from the 1950-60s. The hammer is for both wrecking bomb damaged buildings, rescuing people and for making repairs with the nails. Thanks for the history lesson.

Our civil defense units had the same task shelter building after the nuclear war from the remnants of the village. We had civilian bunkers to survive but this was for the aftermath. Usually a mixture of surplus WW2 gear and local tools. The hammer looks like a version of a roofing hammer.

Thats awesome. You are right about the tools being made to last multiple life times. I really do not know how we have got into the throw away society that we have now. Screw drivers that break after a few weeks or even days.

Hi there my friend. CF = "Civil Forsvaret" "Civil" is self explanatory and "Forsvaret" means Defense. A little side information about C.F It was, and still is a non combatant organisation - often chosen by drafted individuals with a conscientious non combatant stance. It is primarily tasked with different types of emergency services - natural disasters and man made incidents. CF is very popular with people who wish to build a career within civil emergency services, eg firefighters and paramedics. Thanks for you great content. All the best from Denmark.

I'm in as much awe of the quality tools as the brilliantly designed rucksack to pack them into. The backpack looked quite shite to me at first I have to admit, but when you packed it... Just wow

The whole kit must have been terribly expensive back then, and issuing a similar one today would cost a couple thousand dollars today I imagine.

That was my reaction too. I thought the pack would basically be a sack with the tools thrown in. But no those guys made into a pack that was comfortable way to carry all those heavy tools. Using only canvas and webbing !

Very nice kit. Seen others with different contents, eg included a wood auger. Nowadays as an individual I think you could put together a similar quality kit, but if was built by a government then the quality I imagine would be lacking.

Some of the Danish kits came with a British/Commonwealth army mattock of the type that had a bayonet mount. Interesting to see the US style mattock. Maybe it was a substitute standard.

I also love new old stock tools; I've got some Swedish army gear just for the knives and axes (the rest of the tools isn't bad either). Btw, the hammer looks like an older variety of a European carpenter's hammer. It's basically a claw hammer with a pick. The pick can be used like a pickaroon to move wood or to temporarily stick it to a beam when you need both of your hands, eg. for climbing around a timber construction etc. Could also be used to civilly defend yourself, I guess. ;)

@@verysurvival You can still buy this style of hammer in German hardware stores. They are sold as _Latthammer,_ lit. lath/slat hammer or _Zimmermannshammer,_ lit. carpenter's hammer. Nowadays they have synthetic and/or steel handles and look a bit more sleek and modern, but you can still brain yourself with one if you're not careful. ;)

The pick axe looks like a US surplus M1910 Diamond Calk pick axe Mattox. There should the year of manufacture on it, and a lot would be ww2 surplus.
