The author of this review chose to stay anonymous, so we can’t say for sure that this pup didn’t write it—but either way, we loved it! Here’s what they had to say about their Little Vintage Messenger Bag:

"I have many bags, but this one is quickly becoming my favorite. Most of my bags are large enough to carry everything I need but can look awkward in settings where others carry smaller bags or none at all. This size is perfect for short trips around town, to the coffee shop, church, or wherever. I usually carry a notebook, some books, food or bottles, hats, and gloves. The size keeps me focused on essentials instead of the kitchen sink, making it easy to stay light and mobile. The material is heavy and rugged, looks good in any setting, and is built to last for years."

Thanks for the review—and we love the pin!

If you’re coming in through the back today, please keep it down—a certain someone may have indulged in a bit too much candy and is snoozing on the back bench. Good thing our Knapsacks double as the perfect pillow, and our Wool Blankets are as cozy as it gets.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Frost River! We hope you’re having a fun and safe holiday. A customer stopped by today and shared a photo of their WestEnder, saying it was perfect for their "weekend activities".

Got a sweet tooth? You might want to carry one of our Canoe Packs this Halloween! The Tregurtha (our largest canoe pack) has up to 149 liters of candy-carrying capacity 🍬

Choosing the right size pack can make all the difference. Rios recently shared their experience with the 12 inch version of our Arrowhead ECO Rolltop Pack. Here’s what Rios had to say:

"The backpack looks amazing, I am glad I went with the 12” width version as the side pockets where you can put a water bottle are quite big, 4”x4”, so it looks pretty wide with those 2 side pockets carrying something. I might end up getting a waterproof liner for some electronics so they do not get wet in the rain or some of the wax from the canvas. I am looking forward to many adventures with it."

Thank you, Rios! We can’t wait to see where your new pack takes you.

What’s the best part of our WestEnder Waist Pack? Is it the ample snack storage? The heritage materials, handcrafted right here in Duluth, Minnesota? Or maybe the freedom of having both hands free to point out sights on a hike or explore your local market? We’ll let you decide.

Ways to acquire candy this Halloween: 
1. Go trick or treating.
2. Tax the candy your child acquires.
3. Go to the store and buy a bag of candy. (You’re an adult. Nobody can stop you.)

No matter how you acquire those sweet treats keep them in our WestEnder Waist Pack! Now available for a limited time in Heritage Black Waxed Canvas! This bag is the perfect side kick for storing a snack on a hike, essentials for a day at the pumpkin patch, or even a rain jacket for a gloomy day bike ride.

Today’s review comes from Chris, who uses his Isle Royale Pack daily for work! He writes:

"I’m a delivery driver and needed a pack to carry all my truck supplies while driving different routes. The Frost River Isle Royale Bushcraft Pack has exceeded my expectations.

The quality of the materials is outstanding. The rugged, heavy-duty canvas holds up against daily wear, tear, and rough weather. The craftsmanship shows in every stitch, and I love the attention to detail that Frost River is known for.

The pack provides plenty of storage without feeling bulky. It easily fits everything I need, and the thoughtful design keeps everything organized. The various pockets and compartments make it easy to access essentials quickly while on the go.

Overall, the Isle Royale Bushcraft Pack is an excellent investment for anyone who needs a reliable, durable bag. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality gear that can handle the elements and the demands of daily life."

Thanks for the great review, Chris!
