Equipment to Bring and getting your boat ready
Check out your canoe before you leave home. Check for cracks and wear from the last time you used the canoe. Check the bolts that hold the seats and thwarts into place. They have the tendency to rattle loose when you are transporting the canoe by car. Bring some extra bolts just in case. Also remember to secure the canoe properly to your car or trailer.
Items to bring when you canoe:
1. Extra Paddle
2. Life Vest - one per person
3. Helmet - If you plan to run whitewater
4. Swimsuit
5. Dry Suit/ Wet Suit (depending on Water temp)
6. Wet Shoes - Shoes or sneakers you do not mind getting wet
7. A waterproof bags for clothes, matches, maps, first aid kits, wallets, and car keys.
8. If you have to portage your canoe keep in mind what you have to carry and how you plan to carry it. A pack with shoulder straps can be helpful.
