Made by hand in New England, our pack baskets are made of Ash wood and constructed the way they should be- durable and reliable. Use with one of our packs or alone with one of our cotton web shoulder strap harnesses.
Use the Pack Baskets to help fill out and give structure to our Canoe Packs. Its lightweight nature is simple to carry and when paired with a canvas Frost River pack, the combination offers structure and support that could be just what you've been searching for.
The Large 20in Pack Basket great for hauling bulky items. Use it on its own, with the optional harness (made by hand by yours truly, with solid brass slides and durable cotton web), or it also works great inside one of our canoe packs. The Old No. 7, Timber Cruiser, or Grand Portage pack all will work with the Large Basket.
The Medium 18in version is the quintessential pack basket size. The medium fits in the Woodsman or the Timber Cruiser Jr. The small brings the same structure to daypacks. Still able to be used on its own with the optional cotton web harness, the small Basket really shows its stuff when paired with the Nessmuk, Cliff Jacobson Signature Pack, or Vintage Pack.
Note: if pairing a basket with a pack, consider filing/sanding the corners of the bottom rails of the basket to reduce wear of the canvas. Our optional basket harness is made here in Duluth and sized to custom fit the different sizes.
