Czech Evacuation Belt, Surplus

Really long, thick, and wide cotton canvas strap from the home of good beer. Originally used for evacuating the wounded. When you don't save lives, use it as a lashing strap, drag deer from the bush, or finally you have a long enough pant belt. DIY folks might also make something weird and wonderful from these.

Features

This is a thick and strong c. 3.5 m (11’6”) long and 63 mm 82.5”) wide cotton strap. The color is olive green with khaki-colored reinforcement stitching. The metal buckle is painted olive green. On top of the strap, they have sewn a handle-like strap, which is possibly meant to hold the excess strap left over after fastening the buckle.

Use

This belt was originally designed for evacuating wounded soldiers from the battle field. If you aren't into saving lives, you can drag large game from the forest with it. The material is very thick and sturdy. It also makes a great crappy weightlifting belt, a martial arts belt for the end-of-level monster, or a pant belt for everyone who complains that we never have any MANLY sizes. DIY wizards could also make a harness for an expedition sled, or lashing straps or professional wrestling belts out of these.

Condition

Czech military surplus in excellent condition. They probably haven’t seen much use.
