Duluth Pack is the oldest canvas and leather bag and pack maker in the United States. It started on December 12, 1882, when French-Canadian immigrant Camille Poirier patented his Poirier Pack Sack in Duluth, Minnesota. Every bag is still cut, sewn, and riveted by hand at the original historic site, and each one carries a hand-signed tag inside.
The Bushcrafter is the bushcraft backpack in this lineup, designed by Mike Lummio, founder and head instructor of Bushcraft Northwest. It carries padded leather and canvas shoulder straps, a sternum strap, a removable waist belt, and an 18 inch axe sleeve built for the hatchets in our axes and saws collection. Pair it with the Leather Axe Holder for belt carry and a bushcraft knife on the other hip, and the kit is set.
Most packs here come in waxed canvas or olive drab. The Rambler is sized for an overnight on the Superior Hiking Trail, the Wanderer scales it down to a daypack, and the #51 Deluxe Utility Pack rides low so you can portage a canoe while wearing it. The Scout started as a scaled down canoe pack dreamed up by a New York Times fashion editor, and the Roll-Top Scout and Deluxe Roll-Top Scout adjust height for commutes and weekends.
The Haversack keeps daily carry organized with slip pockets and an iPad sized zip pocket, and the Field Satchel works for fieldwork, hunting, and shooting days with a leather reinforced bottom. The Large Grab-N-Go, Drawstring Backpack, and Travel Valet handle the small stuff.
Duluth Pack builds on 15 ounce canvas with leather at the stress points and riveted straps, so the bags soften and gain character instead of falling apart. Every piece carries a lifetime guarantee against defects in craftsmanship and hardware, and Duluth Pack repairs covered items free of charge.
