Frost River Nessmuk Pack

Frost River Nessmuk Pack

Frost River Nessmuk Pack

Historically one of the most popular backpacks. And it does have history. It is a reproduction of writer George Washington Sears' (a.k.a Nessmuk's) old Maine guide pack from the 1880's. 

Popular for a reason, it is a great size! 
Perfect for a day's load of gear and even more if you pack right and have compressible stuff. It also works great as a second pack on a canoe trip. A long, single 2-in-1 pocket on one side, shorter twin 2-in-1 pockets vertically stacked on the other side (2-in-1 pockets allow storage of long, flat items to be stored between the pocket and and pack body). 
Inside, there is a smaller hanging pocket and a slip pocket at the front of the pack. 

The Nessmuk has a leather grab handle and is made from 18oz. waxed cotton canvas.

  • SIZE: 16"h x 12"w x 5.5"d plus pockets
