I heard these guys were thinking of bringing back some old Ostrom pack designs and they just launched a couple of new packs. They look too inexpensive to be copies of Ostrom packs but they sound well made.
Another option for anyone looking.

The duo of Kevin Callan and Andy Baxter made some videos of these packs on YouTube
I think Andy is owner of the company but I’m not positive.
They seem like pretty good packs.

Ostromoutdoors.ca is taking orders on their canoe packs and barrel packs. I just ordered the barrel pack and it looks like delivery will be in May. I can’t wait, I’ve never heard anything negative about any Ostrom product.

Wow! And so they are. That is great news.

Looking at the barrel design, it's different than the previous (which is the best barrel harness in my opinion).
From what I recall, Bill retired a few years ago. RBW got some designs, and started making the packs/harnesses in Asia...
I suppose it's better than nothing, but I do lament the continued losses of high-quality small businesses manufacturing locally.
Cooke Custom Sewing, Lure of the North, Whisky Jack Outdoor Co. Good people, and they should be supported.
