Canvas rucksack

[GWashington1732]

I'm looking for a new canvas rucksack, my old one's getting pretty ragged. I'm not too picky but it needs to have a decent amount of space and large straps. I like the canvas because it lasts longer under a lot of hard use, my last one lasted about ten years of everyday use. Does anyone know of a good brand for this kind of pack?

Let your wallet be your guide.
Go to wiggys dot com and look at the DG2 "72 hour" pack.

Not quite what I was looking for there. Something a little more simple than that. Thanks anyway. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Not a brand, but I have had luck with milsurp ones in the past.

I have a Swiss sans frame, a German (with waterproof liner), and I think a Chinese at the moment.

They are all simple big pocket types.

Duluth Pack - made in the US, you can get the Nessmuk style if you're into that thing

Filson has one or two things. Some made in the US, some newer models made in China. Their shoulder straps don't look particularly comfortable, but OK for lighter loads.

If you're looking for a bargain, old surplus is probably the best bet. I've seen some nice stuff coming out of Europe, but no regular source.

I have this one from llbean. It is very good quality and has held up quite well.

Here ya go. Cruise around here a bit.
Always beware of the word " style".
That means the dirtbag with the surplus store found the crappiest China made garbage he could find that resembled an original.

I've used one like this for a couple of years for knocking around in the woods.
