Chapstick. Your phone. A camera. Sunblock. Bug spray. Snacks. A hat and gloves. Fishing tackle. Wrappers and trash. Your headlamp.
What do all of those things have in common?Â
You want to access them from your canoe seat without having to dig through a portage pack that is, no doubt, just out of reach. They're also the things that roll around in the bottom of the boat, getting wet and making portages look like you're cleaning up after a yard sale.Â
The Gunwale Bag, lovingly known around the shop as a JGB (Jeremy's Gunwale Bag), solves those problems. It easily attaches just below the gunwale with two strips of adhesive loop Velcro and four adhesive YKK SNAD snaps. The large zippered pocket holds about 4 liters of stuff, easily swallowing a rain jacket, a water bottle, and a huge assortment of at-hand gear.Â
They'll even keep that gear secure during portages, so you can grab your pack, put your canoe on your shoulders, and go, without having to do a bunch of housekeeping, first.Â
We think the JGB is pretty rad and hope you do, too.
