Title: What's in my pockets?
Post by Snow_Dog on May 9th, 2012 at 3:11pm
What do you all carry on your person when you are on a canoe trip?  Assume the lifejacket, of course.

I have my wallet with fishing license and park permit in one rear pocket, sealed in a ziplock and that pocket stays buttoned closed.

In one front pocket, on a lanyard attached to my belt loop is a swiss army knife and fingernail clippers.  My SAK *is* my multitool/leatherman substitute...smaller and lighter weight but still does everything I need it to including busting jig eyes with the awl and cutting up cheese/sausage for lunch with the knife.  Clippers are for cutting line and fingernail maintainence in case of a torn nail or somesuch.

In one cargo pocket is a bic lighter, chapstick, hand sanitizer, water treatment tablets and a bandanna.  In the other is my can of chew (guilty canoeing/fishing pleasure).

I keep a big needlenose and a long forceps for hook removal in my underseat bag so no need to carry them on me unless I'm shore fishing.

And that's about it for me.
