I've had one for about 25 years, which fits inside one of my Duluth packs. However, I've never taken it in the canoe on a canoe trip. It permanently resides inside the back doors of my magic bus. It's where I keep my life jacket, various paddling shoes, throw bag, spare straps, carabiners, leg tether, signal lights, miscellaneous other paddling gear, and anything that gets wet during a paddle or camping trip.
