>>1273430Fuck yeah, waterbro! I test fit my backpack in my new kayak last night and everything fits just perfectly inside the bow. Only had to take the side pocket contents out and throw them in the storage box on the stern, then tuck my sleeping pad behind the seat. Rods and net in the pole holders, cooler that I'll used as a makeshift livewell strapped to the back and its good to fucking go!
Best part is that with the rain cover on the backpack it'll stay 100% dry unless I completely fill the boat with water, at which point I have bigger problems to worry about anyway.
