Duluth packs for kayaking. Posted by: wavetamer on Jun-08-11 11:17 AM (EST)
In Alaska several of us carried empty Duluth packs in our kayaks. Usually rolled up or stuffed behind the backrest in the cockpit they were immediately available to be used to carry all the small stuff sacks and other gear that was packed into the fore and aft compartments. No other pack could be carried and stowed so easily and then expanded to carry so much gear. While others made several trips from shoreline to campsite, we Minnesotan transplants would bring everything up to the site in one trip...a modest tribute to the mighty Duluth pack!
