Peter posted; >It seems to me on any wilderness trip, by land or water, contigency and emergancy plans should be part of the planning, and that the correct amount of gear is the minimun necssary (i.e. when there is nothing that can be left behind, not when there is nothing left to add!). Bringing too much stuff (especially the wrong stuff) could cause a minor incident to become a life threatening emergency if you get entangled in an overweight and over packed kayak.< Peter, Peter! There are folks on this list who would not be able to survive a long wilderness trip without a full ballast of beer.
