My Gear List

Believe it or not, I was able to fit much of what is listed below into a 12 ½ foot kayak! Of course, I needed to also utilize gear drops for pickup along the way. Some gear I never needed to use - but you never know. I’ll leave it up to you to decide what and how much to bring. Items listed in BOLD CAPS were never needed.


Gear


2 Laundry Bags (You’ll need these to help portage loose gear)

2 Paddles (carry a spare just in case.  I never needed the spare)

3 Water Treatment Kits (25 pills/bottle will treat 25 pints.  I used less than 2 bottles.)
