OK, so if feels like the doldrums have settled in on QJ for the holiday season, giving me an opportunity to fill the void with yet another one of my ignorant questions.

I have been reading a recently published canoeing book where the author mentioned placing his large pack in front of him at his feet, and placing his small daypack behind him at arms reach.

This seems to be backward to me?

Other books and photos show the large pack snug against the rear of the seat and the daypack in front of the paddler’s feet.

At this point, I have little enough time traveling solo to form a knowledgeable opinion of my own.

Anyone care to weigh in?

Regards,
