I really like the Sitbacker. Very comfy, and good back support. Back folds down for portaging. I just added a little extra velcro, to insure it stays folded. You will like it. Besides, the commission on just one more sale, will insure my retirement...

As for the bears, I could tell the true story about the time 10 years ago when I whacked one across the snout with my canoe paddle. He left the campsite, and so did we, never to cross paths again...just a matter of being clear about the chain of command.
