I met Dan a few times before at events, and talked about tarps. I also attended his tarp seminars on the grassy knoll at Midwest Mountaineering. He was a nice guy and he will be missed by many. Paddle on my friend. May the wind be always at your back.
Borrowed one of these food packs last August for a 9-day canoe trip into Canada. Loved it so much I just now called to place an order for my own after finding nothing else on the internet comparable. Definitely a well-thought pack.
