Raw Reliability

Roaming the North Country in search of Iron Ore can lead an intrepid young geologist into all sorts of adventure. James Byron Hustad was known as J.B.H. had explored Minnesota’s Iron Range in search of underground deposits for U.S. Steel in the middle of the last century. Equipped with his trusty “rucksack” he would often travel by canoe or float plane into secluded roadless areas. Our Geologist Daypack is modeled after the pack that J.B.H. carried on many of his explorations in the U.S. and Canada, Brazil and Africa. He often basecamped for weeks during the summer, and was sometimes dropped off to explore uncharted claims. He lived a life of exploration, self reliance, and survival that any adventurer could envy.

Geologist Pack

Geologist Pack-Artifact Edition

While I’ve had the pack for only a short while, I can say that the construction, design, and materials are top notch. The main compartment holds more than enough for a day trip and the outer pockets are perfect for a PFAK or food/fire kits. I hike and day trip frequently and expect many years of service from this pack.

The only complaint I have about this pack is that it really should have had some kind of flexible support frame inside of it to give it shape. When you put it on even with stuff in it it's just sags down like a shapeless saggy full diaper. I bought an insert for it and it helped a little. Other than that the leather and canvas quality are top notch.
