: I'm posting this here because I figure I can get the best response. I leave
: for my big river trip on May 31 (this Saturday) so I need timely ideas. I
: have all of my stuff packed and it looks like I have room to spare under
: the hatches. For those of you who don't know what I am up to, let me
: inform you now. I am paddling between 900 - 1500 kms along the North
: Saskatchewan River in Canada. I have given myself 3 weeks to do the trip,
: that includes travel time to put-in and back home. I have already done
: 1200-kms of the initial stretch of river. That section of the trip took a
: total of 11.5 days and included some pretty awful conditions as well as
: idylic conditions.

: This year I will complete the fresh water (river/lakes) section of my
: cross-Canada kayaking trek. I was thinking that since I have some extra
: room under the hatches, I could take something extra, be it a food treat
: or more Guinness (already got 12 cans packed and ready to go). Do any of
: you fine folks have any ideas that I can consider?

Hi Robert,
Throw in a few more Guinness's. Just in case you meet a fellow adventurer.
Some good dark organic chocolate makes a nice treat, and a fairly good emergency ration. But make sure any chocolate is in a well sealed container. Some creatures, besides people, love chocolate.
