General Notes
- Prefer soft bags instead of backpacks (their rigid frames are harder to fit into canoes).
- All your gear can get wet, so pack items in zip lock bags or dry bags. Trash bags will not work well.
- Donʼt over pack, but be prepared for possible changing weather conditions.
- No electronics are allowed on this trip.
