A couple of things here. 

All of the QJ positive comments on Chapman’s were well founded.  We used Doug in June and very much enjoyed our brief time with him.

One thing he mentioned was the rangers growing insistence for canoes carrying a floating throw bag.  He handed us a couple for the two canoes and sent us on our way.  In all of the trips to the Q I have never even seen one on board a non-motorized craft.  It sounded like a good idea anyway, so I bought a small one for my upcoming trip.  Although it seems a bit less important on a solo adventure?

Anyone else carrying one?
