Day Paddle Essentials: Flatwater
18 items
A lake, bay, or slow river day in a kayak, canoe, or on a SUP. Pack for the water temperature, not the air temperature. The common rule of thumb is that if air plus water is under 120°F, dress for immersion rather than for the forecast.
Open
Whitewater River Day
17 items
Moving water changes the gear list and the failure modes. Current turns loose lines and fixed leashes into entrapment hazards, and a swim is assumed rather than unlikely, so every item here is chosen to work while you are in the water, not just in the boat.
Open
Multi-Day Touring & Canoe Camping
21 items
Overnight trips by canoe or sea kayak. You are carrying camp with you and you are further from help. The boat will carry far more weight than a backpack, which is the trap: pack for the portages and the loading, not for the volume available.
