My son, brother and I are planning a kayak fishing/camping trip this summer. Naturally the topic of gear to carry along came up.
-Fishing gear
-A good folder and fixed blade
-I'm planning to pack either my sp101 or my G19
-Fire starting gear
-Two small coolers with food and water in/on each boat
-Big choppers (hatchet/machete)
-Sunscreen, sunglasses, a change of clothes, hygiene stuff
-General first aid kit
I don't think I'm overlooking anything.
The two challenges I'm seeing are
1) Storage. Kayaks (even boats and canoes) only offer so much storage space. We're accommodating that by adjusting our gear choices. For example, instead of a dome tent, we're packing hammocks with plastic sheets to string over them in case it rains. Small and light will be the plan.
2) Gear separation. Without wearing a big, bulky (bulkier than a PFD anyway) vest or pack, there's not much of a way to keep your gear with you if you lose your boat.
I'm open to comments and suggestions. Of course, a PFD and whistle is standard equipment on each boat.
