Hey "Jax,"

That's hilarious. But I agree. I have two Bending Branches -- a Viper I use for when I'm in the bow, a Sun Shadow for the stern. Please don't touch them.

As for extra paddles, we've gotten lazy. We usually bring one extra one for the group (two or three canoes), but because I'm paranoid about dropping a paddle, I keep it within reach in my canoe.

It's usually a basic bent-shaft wood one, nothing fancy, because we clean fish on it.
