O. Henry says that "the true adventurer goes forth aimless and uncalculating to meet and greet unknown fate." This is a great pack to grab when you're heading out to meet & greet an unknown fate, but want to calculate just a bit of room for an aimless day's adventure or even a quick overnight.

Enhance your pack with our premium buckskin padded shoulder straps. Cut from the same burly bridle leather and built with the same care, attention to detail and cushy closed-cell foam as in our canoe and bushcraft packs, this is an upgrade in both style and function. Please note that upgrading to the buckskin straps may require us to spend extra time building your pack. All of our buckskin comes from real, wild deer hides, so each one is a little different and may show scars & evidence of life lived in the wilds of North America. They'll most definitely be worth the wait!

Epic pack!

This is the greatest pack I’ve owned. Quality is second to none. It’s breaking in nicely, even after the first use! This is my second purchase from Frost River ( first was a duffle) and will not be my last!

Excellent work day bag

This pack has made the ideal work bad with the use of a couple organizer bags, I can fit everything I need for a days time in with ease

Vintage Pack

Been using this pack for day hikes and as an overnight bag. It is an amazing simple pack with CLASS! Have 2 other FR products all are first rate. Support USA jobs.

Vintage Pack

Impressive, and stunning just
to look at! Impeccable stitching
and stellar leather work combined
with the 18 ounce canvas and double

robust whether heading out to the bush or hiking in the city.
Frost River delivered!
I will be back.

Excellent Bag

Great multipurpose backpack. I got the upgraded straps and they're beautiful and incredibly comfortable. I intend to use this pack as my primary luggage for weekend to weeklong casual trips. Plenty of room. I'll also use it as a pack for my personal gear on weeklong canoe trips, and again: perfect amount of space, given that we always pack a shared gear bag.

Rock solid craftsmanship, rugged timeless aesthetics. I can tell this won't be the last bag I buy from Frost River.
