List of things to take kayaking

Hi All,

I have been asked a few times for a list of things to bring with you kayaking. Here is my list below. Some I consider essential and stay packed in my dry bag all the time.

1. Always wear a PFD

2. Hat

3. Closed-toe shoes

4. Whistle and air horn

5. Water/snack

6. Rope/throwbag for rescues

7. Tow belt

8. Map

9. Sunscreen

10. Sunglasses

11. Paddle float

12. Bilge pump

13. Extra paddle

14. Dry bag with your I.D., first aid kit, phone/2-way radio, dry clothes, duct tape, and towel.

Hope this helps!

Karen
