DESCRIPTION

An American-made everyday backpack with a customizable hook-and-loop interior and exterior bottle holders—organize your gear your way.

Digging through loose gear gets old fast. The Rougarou gives your everyday essentials a place: arrange compatible hook-backed pouches inside, keep water outside, and use two large exterior pockets for the items you reach for most. Built for commuters, travelers, and day hikers who want practical organization in a low-profile pack.

Made in the USA. Built with Purpose.

Designed by Army veteran Chris Vick, these Berry-compliant backpacks come from Squatch Survival Gear, a veteran-owned American business. We work with American manufacturers in New Hampshire, California, and Arkansas, choosing high-quality performance fabrics, foams, threads, and other materials for the jobs they need to do. Your purchase supports American workers and domestic manufacturing.

Rougarou or Mothman? Choose How You Carry.

Choose the Rougarou if you prefer hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) customization. Its loop-lined interior lets you position compatible hook-backed pouches where you want them, while exterior bottle holders keep water within reach.

Choose the Mothman if you want built-in internal organization, PALS/MOLLE attachment options, ergonomic shoulder straps, and a removable waist belt to tailor your carry. Its 31L total capacity includes a 21L main compartment and 10L of external storage.

Both packs measure 18" H × 12" W × 8" D.

Why You’ll Reach for the Rougarou

  • Find what you need faster. Arrange compatible hook-backed pouches inside the loop-lined main compartment around your routine.
  • Keep water easy to get to. Exterior bottle holders free up interior space for your other essentials.
  • Separate the small stuff. Two large exterior pockets keep frequently used items apart from your main load.
  • Move from work to the trail. A low-profile exterior feels at home on your commute, while traveling, or on a day hike.
  • Put your purchase to work here at home. Support American manufacturing and a veteran-owned small business with every pack.

Before You Choose Your Pack

What makes the Rougarou durable?

We select 1000D nylon, performance foams, threads, and other materials for repeated use. Fabric choice, reinforced stitching, and the materials used in the carry system all contribute to a pack built for everyday miles.

Can I customize the interior?

Yes. The loop-lined main compartment accepts compatible hook-backed organizers and pouches. Check the size and attachment style of any accessories before ordering.

Can I use it for both everyday carry and hiking?

Yes. Its organization, exterior bottle holders, and understated profile suit commuting, travel, and day hikes. Pack for your route, weather, and needs.

Why spend more on an American-made backpack?

You’re paying for domestic manufacturing, durable materials, and practical construction. Everything eventually wears out; the Rougarou is built for repeated use, and your purchase supports the Americans who make it.

    Every material, every stitch, every decision is made to ensure this pack performs when it matters most.

    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

    Frequently asked questions about our process and products.

    Why is your logo Sasquatch/Bigfoot?

    It’s simple: whether or not you believe he’s alive somewhere out there, Squatch is the ultimate survivalist. He’s a humanoid who can go into the woods with nothing, live off the land, survive the elements, and rarely leave tracks. He’s seldom seen, barely photographed, and never followed. Plus, he may be living in a Ghillie suit.

    Why do you say “helping you survive?”

    On the worst day of your life, we hope our product plays a role in your ability to survive.

    What do you mean by “Made in the USA?”

    We manufacture gear right here in the good ol’ U S of A. Every part to every piece of gear is made and stitched in America. We only produce in two states, one of which is Texas.

    We’re committed to bringing business and manufacturing back to the U.S., where quality can be controlled more easily. When we can’t have American-made, we settle for companies based in the U.S.—especially ones in Texas.

    Do you offer discounts?

    Yes, especially for military (worldwide), law enforcement (state and federal), and all first responders. We also offer a discount on any order of 10 or more bags. Email us to learn more!

    How long does my product take to ship?

    When we have the product in stock, it usually ships 48 to 72 hours after the purchase has been approved by credit card.

      Build quality is unreal. Stitching, zippers, everything feels solid. Worth the money.

      Best pack I’ve owned. Carried it all day and didn’t feel wrecked after. Huge difference from my old one.

    • ★★★★★

      Used it on a 3-day trip. Heavy load, rough terrain. Zero issues. Super comfortable under weight.

    • ★★★★★

      I was skeptical at first because of the price. After one use, I get it. This thing is built right.
