There's a reason the tumpline has been a portage staple since the days of the voyageurs: shifting load weight to the forehead and down the spine takes real pressure off your shoulders in a way that no shoulder strap adjustment can fully replicate.
RBW's standard Tumpline brings that traditional carrying method to your existing barrel harness or canoe pack in a lightweight, easy-to-add package. The fleece-lined 2-inch webbing forehead strap is comfortable against your skin on a loaded carry, and the adjustable length can be dialled in while you're wearing it so you're not stopping mid-portage to fiddle with hardware. It attaches cleanly to the RBW Expedition Barrel Harness, Expedition Canoe Pack, and Tripper Canoe Pack, and comes with the hardware needed to rig it onto other harnesses or packs using 1-inch webbing.
At just 100 grams it's one of the lightest upgrades you can add to your portage kit. For paddlers curious about tumpline carrying but not ready to commit to the Super Tump, this is a practical and affordable way to find out what the fuss is about.
