The Swedish Military Stretcher is an easily portable stretcher that has been designed and used by the Swedish military. Consisting of two folding metal assemblies that make up the frame and two pieces of canvas that connect to support the payload. When not being used the stretcher disassembles into the above mentioned sub components making it easy to transport and store the stretcher when not in use.
We've had a bit of fun with this one with the kids. Got one of the older models with leather and canvas. The leather was in perfect shape; the canvas good and the metal supports a bit oxidized. There was a substantial old canvas smell; it's taken a fair amount of airing out in the sun. I don't deer hunt that often anymore but it would work well for hauling out. Last use was as a bench in front of a campfire and for carrying the cooler, tent, etc.

Well made ingenious design EZ setup -pullout handles a nice feature.
Review byJoe
Priced to move- top quality EZ setup . As a litter or cot it will serve well. I bought mine with the Greek sleeping bag & as I already have a GI issue foam mat, this completes my camping needs. No more digging for boulders under the tent as I'm off the deck and reasonably comfortable. Recommend to all my pals who camp.

Well made, like new, great priced stretcher.
Review byJeffrey
Can't beat the price. Goes together without much trouble. You can give each half to different people in your group to tie to their rucksacks to spread the load. Built to last.

Review byGeorge
Just a hint, straps belong on the underside. A patient should not lie directly on straps and buckles. If the stretcher is to be set up that way, consider it an adult play platform rather than a stretcher or cot. We set it up as a stretcher (very easy and intuitive) and secured my twelve year old son with the straps. Then turned 90 degrees and he remained with the stretcher. For some reason his older sisters continued doing this a number of times, smiling the whole time. Works well with or without the handles pulled out. Have played with litters since the 70s as both a medic and nurse, this one ranks up there with the rest. Just need to get musty storage smell cleaned up. You should not hesitate to add it to your kit whether as a litter or a cot or if you should choose to assemble straps up, you can fill in the blank;-)
