It's better to pack 3 partial rolls of TP rather than one large one.  They should be packed waterproof and in different packs.  Bark, leaves, and pine needles are not good substitutes.   Smiley

A stern paddler's job is to 'maintain course' in an efficient manner but a good bow paddler knows they can, and should, apply steering strokes whenever they determine it's necessary. Wink

If you fish, bring along needle nose pliers for hook removal.  Tie on a lanyard with carbiner on the loose end to clip onto a thwart.

YB, Maybe a needle nose with wire cutting option, then it could also be used to cut the barb if buried in human flesh instead of fish flesh.

How about trying the recipe at home first before committing to take it on a trip.  Nothing worse than to discover that supper is some gross concoction that no one will eat.  After all, there is no refrigerator to raid.

The only "rule" is THINK about what you are doing, always, and don't blindly follow ANY other rule.

As soon as you stop thinking, something will happen.

74 - Tread extremely carefully when crossing wet rocks or logs; they are very slippery.
75 - Always have a plan just in case that bear does come into camp.  Sleep with amik mitig club.
76 - Don't forget the coffee.
