I have no choice. Although I usually travel alone my girlfriend and mom always insist that I carry certain gear (cellphone and satellite phone) in addition to more typical emergency gear. My girlfriend especially is quite adamant and so I respect her wishes to avoid an unpleasant confrontation. Faced with my girlfriend and mom I always give in, and no, I am unwilling to get a new mom and girlfriend.

For example (there may be others) if you travel with some one else it often pays to respect their wishes to avoid an unpleasant confrontation if they insist on certain gear. Faced with an adamant person I usually give in but don't travel with them again. Also, some governments insist on certain gear. I don't like it but I respect the law. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
