I have about 40 years of canoe camping, mostly on East Texas flat water. I have always seen any kind of potential entanglement as a hazard. That includes the poncho that I used to wear on the water. If I take no other luxury I am going to take a chair. Always beware of dead standing timber.

This add got my attention because Kayak Camping is where it’s at !! I love Kayak camping and there isn’t enough on this subject. So far you’re my all time faviorite store !! Here is another suggestion if u don’t have it already. Have a app from AKC for Kayak Campers to interact and exchange our places to go or been! LRL ,DBNF ,Corbin,KY. Is spectacular beauty, free kayak camping and just pay a season pass at Grove Marina Cobin KY.

I have kayak-camped on 10 different rivers in Texas, several lakes, as well as on Matagorda Island twice. This is a pretty good guide. A kayak paddle is useful for other things besides paddling. I’ve used mine to prop up my boat on edge as a windblock beside my tent, a tentpole, and a shovel to dig a firepit.

Also useful on camping trips: a roll of strong nylon cord, extra carabiners.

Great job with the graphic, very helpful to see how others pack. I need to get one of those water bags to replace my bottle, seems like it would fit better. The only thing I do different is bring a cooler and strap an old fashioned camp chair on top. In Florida like to river camp in Nov/Dec and it gets dark around 5:30 which means 4-5 hours around the campfire, so the chair is an essential for old guys like me.
