Took the tarp out of the freezer today, worked like a charm! Thanks Dwardo. Seems from the suggestions that removing sap is a lot like removing chewing gum, wonder if peanut butter would work...

yep, great pack. I've had mine for a bit over year now and we are getting along great. I only wish they would add a couple of inches to the adjustable back, I had to make my own fix. Always wondered what the purpose of that velcro strip was, now I know, thanks. Jacob V.
