CHECKLIST

* We recommend that you pack socks, underwear, and your synthetic clothing in zip lock bags compressing all air out of each zip lock before locking. Then putting them into your dry bags. This is a great way to ensure that you items will not get damp or wet even when pulling out items while looking for something in your dry bag, otherwise you end up dumping and pulling out dry gear only to get damp and wet while searching your dry bags.

Also, the clear ziplock bags allow you to see the contents, and keep it dry if that is not the item you are looking for…

*Assume you might be packing your boat and launching in rain, in which case you will need to bring all of your gear down to the beach and spread it out so you can fit everything in the boat. Be prepared by:

• Pack crucial items in the best dry bags
• Do NOT over-stuff the dry bags
• Having all other items in Ziplock bags / roll up and get the air out (compress) and seal.
• Protect your plastic bags with stuff sacks to prevent tears
• Pack gear in more small dry bags as opposed to one big bag
• Bring a duffel to haul all your smaller items
• Do not pack what you will be wearing to paddle with your extra clothes. Wear your paddle clothes the morning of departure!
• Remembering where you packed everything is not always easy…we recommend that you use duct tape and label your dry bags.
• Avoid bringing an excess things that might take up needed room. We recommend packing the dry bags at the pre-trip meeting and making sure everything fits in the kayak cockpits.
