Okay Bob, it's 2:30 am westcoast time, I'm all packed up for Pender Island in the morning - up at 6:00am. Meeting Dave from Astoria en route and a bunch of other paddlers from Westcoastpaddler.com for a couple of days. The kayak was a bit heavy to get on the roof racks - covered in snow. Report of possible waterspouts in Georgia Strait. So, what item should I take despite weight. Thinking about the Colman catalytic heater. Not sure if it will fit in the kayak though. Back deck? :-) Bought an overbag today, too. Bought a ton of new gear. Alaska or bust some day. New tent: North Face Heron 23.
