It's a 1984 Berghaus Crusader 2.
It is labelled Berghaus and is green.
I've no idea how to post pictures on the forum, it doesn't seem to follow standard procedure.

Ah, no need for photos, still made and sold as the Crusader 2, but its had a few minor upgrades. About £175 now or £200 with the side pockets.
It was the most popular private purchase rucksack back in the 80's and into the early 90's, along with the Crusader Cyclops. I had the smaller Munro for patrolling and had to stick with the issued rubbish for longer patrols/exercises until I bought a secondhand karrimor Jaguar SA.
It was a relief to get the "new" Bergen in 1989 and we thought it was an amazing bit of kit. Basic design is still used today.

Couldn't break that Berghaus if I tried, it's certainly made to last and I haven't been kind to it.
I paid about 25 quid for it about 20 years ago, then went off backpacking around for a few years.
I sold all my carp gear (I had an old Nash rucksack which was crap in comparison) before I went off travelling, so the Berghaus became the new fishing rucksack.
Best bit of luggage I've ever had.

I'm not sure what barrow your using, can you can clip a ruck sack onto the front? If so then replace one of the holdalls with a ruck, when it's boggy stick the ruck on your back, when not leave it on the front of the barrow.
I've never had any issue with the weight of the ruck on my back and pushing a barrow.

That's a cracking idea. Never occurred to me to clip it to the front. Nice one. Thx.

Works a treat as long as you can clear the wheel
I use it on a Trakker Gravity, can make the barrow front heavy/feather lite if I want, great for pushing, crap for falling over

Saber Tackle do a copy for just over £30 I think

I bought a fox camo ruckall recently after being recommended it on here, cnat believe how much I can get In it. Literally every piece of tackle, clothing and hookbait can go inside (apart from what you carry inappropriately a bucket of course) best bag I've ever own by a mile
I dont carry anything else with me apart from a small cool bag with my food in

I've made a home made version of this.. A bit smaller and lighter but so much better than a barrow when the ground is soft. It's advantage is when you are pulling you are helping to lift it out of the mud.
A bit like pulling rather than pushing your barrow through a soft spot but better as you've a more favourable angle.
Takes up less room in the car as well.
