Hey, Chip, that Kokatat looks pretty nice. I was using a Stohlquist up until it was stolen three months ago. Your Kokatat looks like it has plenty of convenient pockets for "stuff". I need to prepare for the next leg of my big rover trip (1700 kms for 2004) and I'll be on the big lake then. I noticed a cinch strap at the waist, does it work well? Not that I'm thinking I may need it BUT apparently Lake Winnipeg is considered the worst lake in the world for suddenness of storms; who knows what could happen.
