Took me a while to dig 'em up again so I put 'em here for everyones' viewing pleasure:   (You need to Login or Register #1 - Ready for hanging or setting in the canoe. #2+3 - Are meant show how you wear it #4 - Shows how the rope connects to it and how it's reinforced w/ wood. #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. ~ID = 18 x 13 x 11 or so.  Fit's nicely in a Magic or Prism fore and aft.

Thanks db, that explains it nicely. I tried to figure it out from the pictures in the "How to hang a food pack" thread, but I wasn't even close.
