Capacity: 39L An overnight hike along the Superior Hiking Trail or a quick minimalist canoe trip to your favorite back country locale doesn’t require a huge pack. Try simplifying your life and lightening your load with the always dependable Rambler Pack.

Capacity: 33L Customer Favorite! Designed narrow for slipping between “dog hair” aspen and brush, this pack is tricked out for backwoods adventures. Dual vertical pockets (thermos, water bottle, first aid) straddle an axe sheath (small forest axe) on the front, while both sides offer solid brass D rings with para-cord for compressing items you need to keep handy (rain coat, jacket).

Capacity: 31L When Cliff Jacobson suggested that we offer a larger more versatile version of our popular Nessmuk Pack for canoeing, we couldn’t resist. This new portage pack is two inches taller than the Nessmuk I and boasts 15 percent more volume at 1,386 cubic inches. Short closing flaps are one of Cliff’s pet peeves so we made this one extra long so things piled high will be covered. Each long side pocket will accommodate two one liter fuel or water bottles side-by-side.

Capacity: 28L We’ve scaled down the bestselling Old No.7 Pack for smaller loads, smaller people, shorter trips. Just like its larger brother, the Woodsman has a double bottom, tumpline, cord, D-rings on the side, and padded shoulder straps trimmed with super-soft and supple buckskin. Large Daypack or Small Canoe Pack? You decide, since this pack excels at both.

Capacity: 25L The Kondos Outdoors Day Pack with 3 Pockets is one of our top selling packs, and for a good reason. With 1500 in³ of volume there is room inside for lunch, a jacket and other personal items. Many use this canoe pack as their “carry on” for airline flights when exploring other parts of the world. Side pockets are designed to fit large-mouth water bottles.
