Tales from the trail
Vers Nice pack for Forest hikes with medium load 2-3 days … very nice piece of work ;-) only negative point : the buckskin straps are to narrow… they should be like on the Isle Royale backback! A backpack in the quality we expect from Frostriver
I finally saved up enough to buy this pack , as my first FR pack, i absolutely love it,it holds more , and more comfortably than any other pack ive owned.
Taking ti on my first long haul the day after writing this and am so excited.
The straps are very comfortable. Perfect size for a second pack or day pack. The pockets are well sized. I really like being able to tuck my folding saw into the side slot. Classic looks and outstanding build quality. This pack has become my favorite!
I do not have a Northstar pack yet but my wife, kids and i do have at least 6 other packs/bags by FR. We use them extensivly in Alaska canoing and snowshoeing. Some we use every day. I am planning to purchase the Northstar pack next. I appreciate the option of a belt loop on the Northstar although i do not think its a large enough pack to actually need one, but the option is there based on personal preference. Many old packs in my area of Alaska do not have waist belts as they interfere with wearing a gun belt. My family and i love Frost River products and the fact they still send a paper catalog. We think they are one of the best USA made Packs on the market.
Great pack love the quality design and ruggedness
