Everyone uses different kinds of gear, but I have a couple suggestions I have found very useful: Bear Bangers instead of Bear spray, it gives you an option if a bear is sitting on a portage or is a little too curious about you.... the added bonus is besides bangers you can also carry emergency flares for the same launcher. The second thing is a small set of binoculars, super handy for finding the portage on bigger lakes as those signs can be tricky to find sometimes (or even non-existent if the tree it was on has fallen or the sign just wore off).

My wife and I are embarking on our first canoe trip this fall! I appreciate all the tips and the discussion you've opened up in the comments! Can't wait to hit the water.

You can put the batteries in backwards in your light to avoid accidentally killing them

Always fun to see what paddlers bring on longer trips. Enjoyed seeing your version. Have fun guys!

Loving your journey and your advice. I’m sure you have this covered, but don’t forget a first aid kit. I keep that in the same bag as my water filter & fire-starter. Safe travels.

With Crocs I've used gore-tex oversocks for when it rains. Wool sock underneath, gore-tex on top, then you don't have to worry about your foot getting wet in the Crocs. Good information, thanks for sharing and enjoy your trip!

Nice video. Haha I have regular big tarps and a large sleep mat. It appears there are much smaller ones I can get. Good to know 👍
