- Duluth_pack abstract "A Duluth pack is traditional portage pack used in canoe travel, particularly in the Boundary Waters region of northern Minnesota and the Quetico Provincial Park of Ontario. A specialized type of backpack, Duluth packs are made of heavy canvas and leather or cordura nylon, and are nearly square in order to fit easily in the bottom of a canoe. These packs are portaged, along with the canoe, between lakes on wilderness canoe trips. The typical Duluth pack consists of a single large canvas or cordura "envelope" or "box" which is closed by straps and roller buckles rather than a zipper. The pack is carried by two shoulder straps, and sometimes a tumpline worn over the top of the head. They are made in several sizes, traditionally referred to by numbers (such as #2, #3, and #4). Their key attributes make them well adapted to wilderness camping where travel is largely by water (where the packs and gear do not need to be carried) punctuated by portages where the packs and gear need to be carried over land. Conversely, they lack many features and attributes of long distance backpacking type backpacks, and so are generally not used for such. The Duluth Pack is named after the city of Duluth, Minnesota, where they were invented. The Duluth pack has its roots in a French-Canadian named Camille Poirier, who made his way west to Duluth in 1870. At his small shoe shop on the waterfront, Camille began building a new style canoe pack with a tumpline and sternum strap, which he patented in 1882, becoming the original #3 Duluth packs offered by the Duluth Pack company which have changed little since they were first introduced. Duluth packs are manufactured by many companies, with the Duluth Pack company being the original and most recognized manufacturer of these packs. In 1911, Camille sold off the canoe pack business to Duluth Tent and Awning on West Superior Street in Duluth, MN. Headquartered at this location for the last 100 years, and now known as Duluth Pack company, they have been building a wide range of packs and other products. The rugged canvas and leather style of Duluth packs has become fashionable, and these products include other products (e.g. purses, computer cases) made in this same style.".
