A heavy canvas rucksack, patented in 1882 by French Canadian , along the shores of Lake Superior. The water-resistant, waxed-canvas design鈥攆lat, wide, and low, with multiple straps and a high storage volume鈥攊s popular among canoeists. The packs are still made by Minnesota鈥檚 company, and a smaller version has become trendy among young, bearded urbanites. (See Lumbersexual.)
