      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.

    Almost Perfect

    It’s a nice pack as always I own maybe 10 frost river products and all are great. If i could add built in buckskin straps like my bushcraft packs and maybe up the size to 40 liters it would be a top contender for me. I love the versatility and style as it brings me back to some great childhood movie scenes

    Poor design

    The front pockets are definitely quick release and a pain to get strapped back, called Frost River and asked if I could get buckles on instead of the brass tabs. They said they wasn't licensed to alter the bag. So you make the bag in Duluth but you can't put a buckle instead of a tab?
