    Deceptively large

    I bought this pack because I've never been able to pack light. I like to eat, I like my tools etc. But this pack shocked me. I put in my full kit and then needed to put in more stuff to fill it out. Which is not a bad problem to have. Whether you're like me and overprep for short trips, or you're planning a longer voyage, this pack will not fail you.

    The black hole bag

    What can I say about the Grand Portage? Well I’ve had mine for a couple years and used it for canoeing and car camping trips. This thing is huge and you can easily fit everything you can possibly need for a multi day trip inside it. Love the expandable flaps and the extra long leather compression straps! The webbing on the sides for a fishing rod or an axe is a nice feature too.

    It’s very bulky and not something I would hike with for an extended period of time but the tumpline works surprisingly well on portages and shorter distances. Where this bag shines for me though is in a vehicle, be it boat or car. No more multiple bags and/or attachments flopping around, just toss your entire home into the Grand Portage, load it in your canoe and paddle off into the sunset! 😉

    Grand Portage Pack

    I can fit a packed full 30 gallon blue barrel in this pack, my tent, and my bedding and carry it comfortably. Works perfect!
