Recreational Barrel Works

[Lost Canadian]

What a great idea and product this is. I just picked up a 60 L Recreational Barrel Works barrel from MEC. I also picked up a Hooligan Gear Barrel Harness to go with it. Such a simple yet cost effective solution for durable, waterproof transport of goods. After getting it home and showing my wife we have decided that we are going to pick up a second for some of our other gear. It's kinda a cross between a backpack and a pelican/storm case. The lid clamps on and there is a very nice flexable seal around it. We have a camping trip planned for next month so I'll report back with a review.

I have used a barrel to store gear for about a year now (no backpack setup though). It's great because it's totally waterproof and does well on the roof. As well, it serves a dual purpose for carrying items in the canoe since it floats.
