WIth 20 bushwalking and 10 years camping from canoes and kayakers I find I still forget things. So I have a list for kayaking, hiking, XC skiing etc. I check everything off before I put it into bags or backpacks. If you want a list for kayaking I will gladly forward one on to you. I grew up near Newcastle on the shores of Lake Macquarie. My parents gave me a canoe when I was 9 and they got so sick of me getting up early on the weekends to go fishing out of it that they knocked out my window and put in a door Cheers David *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Aug 14 2000 - 02:12:08 PDT
