We have had Pungo 12s for seven years and have been very happy with them. last year we bought a tandem from Wild Meadows made by a company whose designer had worked for Wilderness. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name, (?Native) but it has features that I like even better than the Pungo 12. I live on Long Island and usually do not travel much beyond Little Bear, Cow but I have always felt quite "safe" in the Pungos.
I just found a link, you might take a look at these..
