The P83 Rucksack, colloquially known as the grootsak (big bag in Afrikaans), certainly lives up to its name. It is technically a Bergen Rucksack, an alpine style bag popularized by the British SAS. If a mountain bag seems far from home in desert warfare, well you'd be right. During the Border Wars the SADF had a habit of judging equipment by usefulness.
