What is a Duluth pack?
Simply a large nylon, frameless pack with shoulder straps. They are waterproof but we recommend lining them with a plastic trash bag. They absorb a lot of gear and ride low in the the canoe. Generally, two people for a week will have 3 packs … one for food, one for equipment, and one for personal stuff. Frame packs do not work well in a canoe as they tend to ride very high and make your canoe less stable. They are also difficult to waterproof adequately.
