Canoe with a View : : Canadian Open Canoe forum

During a 'recent' trip It became apparent that I was missing a few items so on my return I decided to make myself a suggested kit list for use next time. Mind you It's not like I forgot my paddles or anything really important

The list is relatively loose in that I will deduct or add items as needed but if you want to use it as a basis for your list feel free.

The racing spoon goes back to my military days. It was kept on a cord around my neck when on deployment, as soon as food was announced from anyone it was deployed with lightening fast speed and put into action, it is also slightly larger than your average spoon, that was till it went missing
