Canoe Seat
A little comfort for the wilderness tripper

One
of the things that I have complained about the most on long canoe
trips is not being able to sit properly. I am quite tall and sometimes
I like a little back support. I was browsing www.seallinegear.com
and I decided I would try their canoe seat.
I started
by using the seat in camp and it was wonderful. The seat is adjustable
and you can even lay it flat. Much of my canoeing is in the Canadian
Shield so having something between my behind and the rock was
great. If our son, age 4, is traveling with us I will often lay
it flat for him to have a nap.
Then I decided
to use it in the canoe. On long paddling days, the back support
was much appreciated. The sides did not interfere with paddling
and the map pocket was handy. For portages I would just leave
it strapped in the canoe or biner the seat to the back of my canoe
pack.
I would highly
recommend this product; however, if you are tripping with a partner,
a word of warning… buy two!
