packsack

Dragging the skiff well above high-water mark, I stacked my stuff in it, shouldered my packsack and climbed the levee.

Once our group was out of sight of the ship, Mason threw down his packsack, sat down on a boulder and lighted a cigarette.

An empty packsack hung loosely over his shoulders and there was a knife at his belt.

I always carry a light ax and if the weather is cold I put a blanket in my packsack.

Then he let his hands drop, walked over and began to put on his packsack.
