db, What size is the Rubbermaid and how did you make the harness for carrying it?

#1 - Ready for hanging or setting in the canoe.
#2+3 - Are meant show how you wear it

#5 - One of these years I gotta come up with an integral La-Z-Boy type footrest.

Fits nicely inside expensive packs like GG, Duluth ... but being the frugal bastard I am, I went with straps and the next year, a belt from Campmor. It could be done better but if it ain't broke.... It's actually very comfy to portage even with food for four.

Honestly, in 25 years, I've not seen anything I'd like better for many times the price. Granted, it looks dorky. I remember being somewhat embarrassed to be seen on a portage with the guy who first brought one ... until I realized what an awesome foodpack one would make.

~ID = 18 x 13 x 11 or so.  Fit's nicely in a Magic or Prism fore and aft.

Hey master, you know you need want one!  ;D ;)

Sorry, no clue if they're made anymore.
