haversacks
Canvas shoulder bags
Haversacks are bags carried over one shoulder, typically with a single strap.
The term evokes military or outdoorsy contexts—soldiers in historical accounts carried haversacks for rations and personal items.
Today the word sounds old-fashioned compared to backpack or messenger bag, though it persists in scouting and historical reenactment: The Civil War reenactor packed hardtack in his haversack.
