Part of RBW's “Heritage Line” of packs that draw inspiration from traditional packs and methods of Canada’s fur trading past, the Coureur Two-Part Canoe Pack is a modular 104L pack comprised of two separate 52L sub-packs that can be stowed in a canoe separately to help balance a load, but can then be combined into a single pack when portaging (by use connection points between the packs, and removable shoulder straps and optional tump line).
The pack can be purchased either in it's constituent parts, or together as a whole.
Individual sub-packs can fit a 20 or 30L barrel with room to spare, and are great as additions to existing packs or portaging systems, where they can be tossed on top during portages, or as dedicated smaller packs for either personal or group gear. Made from 1000 denier nylon, these hard-wearing packs sport 2" webbing that runs down both sides and along the bottom of the pack to secure the load to a tumpline (the preferred way of carrying one pack - while shoulder straps can be used, the Coureur sub-packs are wider than they are tall - which means each sub-pack does not go the full length of an adult back).
Each sub-pack has quick release buckles on the lid that closes over an expandable drawstring attic with 2 compression straps to keep your gear contained. Three high-vis grab handles on each section make it easy to get this pack in and out of the canoe, or placed around camp . A daisy chain strip along both sides give additional lash points, and packs are connected to each other via a series of quick release buckles.
Additionally, Coureur sub-packs make excellent bags for lashing into a freight toboggan for winter camping use, as their low profile and low centre of gravity helps keeps tipping to a minimum.
When the two sub-packs of the Coureur are combined into a single pack, shoulder straps are useful, and can be combined with use of a tump for efficiency and comfort when portaging. When purchased as a 2-part pack, removable padded shoulder straps with sternum strap are included. When purchasing as individual sub-packs, shoulder straps can be purchased separately. Both configurations are interoperable with optional RBW tumps and Super Tumps.
