Is your pack made of wood, wax cotton and vintage WW2 army blanket wool? The Governor Baxter Maine Woods Pack is constructed from rugged materials naturally at home in the environment. A stout pack, yet lightweight. Made in Maine, not from away.
The system’s frame is built from eastern white pine burned with a tar finish and sealed in spar varnish. Strap what you want to it or use our detachable Haversack bag. Comes with a small task blanket that doubles as a tarpaulin for the pack.
We got valuable input from the adventurers at Camp Manito-wish in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin that helped transform our versatile Summit Pack into a capable and adaptable back pack that will work equally well with small, light loads, and big, heavy, high volume, loads. The zippered compartment at the bottom adds capacity and allows wet or dirty gear its own space. Twin zipper slides keep contents, like a rain jacket, ready at a moment’s notice. There’s a sleeve inside, at the back of the pack, able to handle a laptop, a water bladder, or whatever other flat stuff you want to put back there. The buckled pocket on the front aids organization and provides another spot to stash necessities. Waxed canvas keeps the weather out and will last for years. The padded backstraps provide comfort, and the brass ring attachment system supports the pack and provides independent movement between back and pack.

The simple adaptability of the Arrowhead Rolltop makes carrying a small bundle, or a large load, a breeze. If you’re only carrying a little bit, roll the 18 oz. waxed canvas top all the way down and cinch the leather straps to the bag. Need more space? Unroll the top.
The long, harness leather straps and extended top allow expanded capacity. Waxed canvas is water resistant, and when matched with a rolled top it is especially weather tight. There’s a loop for a blinking bike light, along with lash squares to tie stuff on… it’s a waxed canvas commuter pack that’s made in Duluth and really hauls! Available in two sizes, 12in and 15in width and two side slip pockets for carrying smaller items.

This box style canoe pack is designed with help from outdoor writer, wilderness traveler, and Eagle Scout. The Cliff Jacobson is laid out with helpful features designed to haul your gear through the lakes of canoe country or the wilds of your everyday.
This is a daypack, meant to go light and fast or supplement another larger pack for a full camping rig. It serves well as a school or travel backpack, too. We build them by hand in Duluth, from a lighter weight 10.10 oz waxed canvas that we get from the same supplier as our heavier 18oz. It's a tighter weave fabric that wears tough, but carries light. You get the choice of Field Tan or Hunter Orange waxed canvas. We regularly build the Field Tan, but may have to build a Hunter Orange pack from the ground up if high visibility is on your list. The Cliff Jacobson backpack is lighter than, but similarly laid out to it's older "cousin" the Nessmuk Pack.
