....a small, closed cell foam pad can be strapped to the canoe seat for duration of trip, highly recommended

Had to laugh upon reading this.  If you ever seen IC tripp'n, you'll see she has a foam pad laid out to support the length of her body as she pretty much lays back traveling in style.  Upon meeting her yah might think...what the....  Although, after further examination, you'll find she is a step ahead of the average camper per most concerns.

The axe?  Naw...don't agree with yah about leaving it at home, BTravlin, yet I do understand your thinking.  I like a small axe, also learned from IC, used with care.

The bug dope..great idea in theory, though I must be a saddist.

Crazy Creek Chairs float?  Hmmn, interesting thought.

Now where did I put my fingers... oh yeah, still attached, knock on wood.
