Description

Each feature of the Devil's Kettle Daypack was designed with other existing Frost River packs in mind. Its ability to comfortably double its capacity with external additions makes it one of our more versatile and technical daypacks yet. Whether you are looking for a new go-to pack for hiking the Devil’s Kettle yourself or trying out your bushcraft skills, this new pack is destined to be a favorite of many. Made for attachments, this daypack has four heavy-duty leather lash squares, a molle webbing panel, and two solid brass Frost River G-hooks on each side. This allows you to easily add external capacity to the Devil's Kettle Daypack. Feature-Full It's all about the external features on this pack. Two zippered pockets work to stash easy-access items. This pack may be smaller size than most, but we've added our canvas padded backstraps for hauling all of the extra weight that you can attach to the exterior. All handcrafted by Frost River in Duluth, Minnesota USA.

    Raw Reliability

What's the Devil's Kettle? One of Minnesota’s greatest mysteries is that of the Devil’s Kettle. Located about 20 minutes northwest of Grand Marais, Minnesota up highway 61 is Judge C.R Magney State Park. Here, the gorgeous Brule River flows through winding terrain towards Lake Superior. As the magnificent river makes its way towards North America’s largest freshwater body of water, it makes an 800 foot descent in about 8 miles. This creates many outstanding waterfalls that cut through the rocky topography of the northland. A few miles up the Brule, there is one waterfall that is a bit different from the others. The stream splits in two as it cascades 50 feet over a rocky ledge. On the east side, it flows smoothly over the rocks. The west side, however, is where the mystery lies. On this side, the rushing water funnels into a cavern that seems to lead to nowhere. It never fills up, and you cannot see an ending. Because of this interesting phenomenon, it was appropriately named the “Devil’s Kettle.”

Beautiful bag, with a lot of attachment points. Perfect for when I'm planning a big trip and need to carry several different things, but still need my hands free. Plus, the customer service team was amazing in helping me find exactly the type of bag I needed!

Great day pack!

This pack is very versatile and looks right at home both in the outdoors and on the daily commute. Mine has been my go-to bag for day hikes and for work on occasions where I need a backpack rather than a brief. I love the multiple attachment points and how much junk I can fit in it without it being cumbersome to carry.

I noticed in the Field Guide IX it says that this bag has a laptop sleeve. Unless they’ve updated the design this is incorrect. There’s only a zippered dangler pocket. You can however fit a laptop in the back of the pack but it’s not protected by a sleeve. No biggie for me but worth noting if you’re looking to buy this one.

Build quality is above and beyond, like all Frost River bags.

Perfect Size and Great Quality

This bag perfectly fits my 15” laptop, padfolio, and various file folders - might be able to get a light jacket in there as well, but not much else keeping it nice and compact. The three accessory pockets are easily accessible and the strap attachments allow plenty of options to strap on a water bottle or whatever else you’d want. Definitely happy with it.
