Description

Not to be mistaken for a day pack, the Old No. 7 is big. It’s a canoe pack, meant to contain a full (but well-chosen) camping kit: tent, sleeping bag, cook pot, rain gear, first aid, skivvies, saw, a pair of socks, and maybe a bit more. It all oughtta fit in a pack this size. If it won’t fit, you might not really need it. The Old No. 7, like all our Frost River canoe packs, is handmade from waxed canvas. The proprietary wax from Fairfield Textiles makes the cotton canvas weather and water-resistant. It also helps protect against abrasion and wear. It is very tough stuff. The backstraps are padded and faced with premium deer hide buckskin. There is a leather cinch strap with a brass roller buckle at the top of the pack for compression. Solid brass rings line the sides for more compression or storing gear. At the bottom of the side panel (the gusset) is a small slip pocket for a map, permit, water bottle, or wet socks. The flap straps on the lid (overbuilt to hold the heft of the pack when it’s lifted to and from the canoe) are riveted and sewn for longevity and lasting durability. The bottom of the pack gets double canvas. A tumpline and waist belt are standard equipment, and both are removable and replaceable. We aim to deliver the best right from the start. The Old No. 7, like all our reliable soft goods, is built by hand at Frost River in Duluth, Minnesota, and guaranteed for life.
