The Old No. 3 Canoe Pack is our most traditional pack with a tapered or envelope bottom that fits well in the bottom of a canoe.

The large pack includes our premium padded buckskin shoulder straps and a waist belt.

A large closure flap runs over the top with three premium leather straps and brass buckles to secure the flap closed.

Very large main compartment for overnight camping and canoeing trips.
