We go on October Canoe trips, so our gear and clothing might be different from db's May list and ours could be much different from others on this site.  I think the main thing is bringing warm practical clothes and boots, and not bringing everything under the sun. It's good to be prepared, but in hindsight I always wonder why I brought a particular item. Also, don't double up and bring group gear that the leader is bringing.  You'll realize what I mean when you have to lug any extra, unneeded stuff over and back a dozen portages.  Here's our gear and clothing list recommendations for others.

One other item I bring that is a subsitute for the aluminum chair and may be the same as the thermarest chair kit Mike B mentioned above.  I always bring a lightweight folding seat cushion that provides a warm, comfy seat with back support in the canoe and doubles for a chair in camp.
