    Music for the drive to, during, or the drive back from canoe trips?

    I don't have any particular music that I listen to when going to or coming home from a canoe trip. The one song that I won't listen to while driving to a canoe trip is, Dueling Banjos, from Deliverance.

    Duluth style packs

    Wow,$375. I bought my Duluth Pack #321 in the late 90's for around $95. The #321 is the same as a #3 but it is 18oz canvas with a double bottom, and it has 1" straps instead of 3/4" straps. If I remember right, it was about a $15 upcharge over the #3
