Equipment | Basic gear
Bring your kayak wheels if you have them |
|||||
Camping Gear | I suggest, dry bags for all your gear. I personally prefer 10L dry bags, as they pack into you kayak easier than a few 30 L dry bags. It would be best if at least your cloths & sleeping bag are in dry bags. If you do not have any dry bags consider buying some. Canoe & Kayak have various forms of dry bags. Alternatively, bring your own thick black bags. Camping Kit
