Bonjour! In this video, i will discuss how to assemble, pack, and put on a WWI era French knapsack, or havresac. This is the video I wish had existed when I was trying to put my knapsack together for the first time.
My havresac, as well as several uniform items and pieces of equipment, was purchased from Frogsacks. You can find them here (not sponsored): frogsacks.com/
My reenacting unit, the 113e Regiment d'Infanterie Territoriale:
113rit.com/
I mentioned the packing guide made by the 151e RIL. You can find it here: www.151ril.com/... Lots of interesting information to be found here.
Thank you for watching. This video took me a very long time to make, over a month of writing, dubbing, filming and editing. I hope you enjoy, and that maybe this will be helpful to someone out there assembling their own French havresac for the first time. Special thanks goes to my friend John A. in California. Au revoir!
