packsack
Shoulder-strapped travel bag
A packsack is a bag carried on the back, typically with shoulder straps—essentially a backpack.
The term is more common in Canadian English and in wilderness contexts: He loaded his packsack with provisions for the trail.
It suggests a rugged, utilitarian pack rather than a school bag or fashion accessory.
