Title: Re: gear to take Post by solotripper on Mar 10th, 2009 at 8:02pm
Click on the site map at bottom of page, and you'll find a gear maker list that will get you started.
People choice of gear ranges from the bare minimum (even that is debatable), too the extreme in terms of comfort and convenience. I doubt ANY gear list would meet approval by 100% of the paddlers here :-/ IMHO, I would say you need as a minimum, two sets of clothes, 2-3 pairs of socks, a GOOD rain suit, 2 pairs of shoes ( paddle and portage/camp), a GOOD tent, a TARP that will protect at least a couple of people or more, a DEPENDABLE stove, a few fleece/wool garments to layer as the weather dictates. A GOOD set of maps/compass, BEFORE a GPS, although you can have that if you want. A water filter and First AID kit for the you/party. Enough rope to rig tarp and canoes. Some can get by with less, most of us take more. All depends on how hard your willing too work to take the extra items many like around camp ;) I'd get with the "old timers" that have been there before and learn from them. The general rule of thumb is that you can bring as much gear as you like, as long as YOUR willing to carry it and not pawn it off on anyone else ;D |
