Nessmuk Pack

I generally carry a lotta gear, from three or more laptops for work to overpacking for a hike with the kids. I’ve spent the last few years looking for something in waxed canvas that will hold up no matter what I do with it. Absolutely love the comfort and utility of this bag, and very happy with it. Just about into winter snowshoe season, so I’ll be switching from office stuff to winter stuff and back, but very happy thus far with all the hauling I can do, in an admittedly much nicer looking bag than I usually use.

The bag was going to be late and delivered after Christmas but the folks at Frost River went over and above. Their inventory was inaccurate when I purchased the bag, so they made a new one and had it over nighted to me just in time for Christmas. Thank you all so much! The bag is exquisite and your attention to customer service amazing!

Exactly what I was hoping for

Nessmuk Pack

This pack is small enough for day adventures without feeling like way too much pack. It is also big enough (just) for overnighting if you bring just what you need: sleeping pad, sleeping bag, minimalist kitchen stuff for one, clothing, food, water, etc. I love the leather, canvas, etc. instead of the ubiquitous synthetics used in other packs, the "natural" materials somehow feel better...silly but there it is. The Cliff Jacobsen pack is basically a modified Nessmuk with lighter canvas and two long pockets on the side instead of the two smaller pockets on the Nessmuk, also an excellent choice with the same utility and volume.
