Additional Considerations
Follow the recommendations herein or use the official trip pack list for clothing, personal gear and equipment. Any major substitutions should be cleared with the trip leaders! Personal pack organization would be greatly aided if various sized stuff sacks were used. Try to eliminate any loose items in your pack. All participants must realize that you are responsible if you lose or damage items not owned by you, including rentals.

It is a good idea to leave a complete change of clothes back at the trailhead so that you may enjoy the luxury of clean clothes after your hot shower from one of the many outfitters that provide shower facilities for a fee. It is also a good idea to trim your fingernails before trip departure to minimize the chance of tearing your nails. When renting a canoe obtain the lightest craft you can afford.
