5<\/strong> Tips For Kayak Camping<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Research camping spots in advance.<\/strong> Use apps and detailed topographic maps to identify potential landing spots. It\u2019s a good idea to look for flat, dry areas near the water, away from steep banks or cliffs.<\/li>\n
  2. Pay attention to weight distribution.<\/strong> Pack your heavier items, like food, fresh water, and cooking supplies, as close to the center of the kayak as possible to keeps the boat\u2019s center of gravity low and stable.<\/li>\n
  3. Check weather conditions.<\/strong> Understanding the local weather patterns will help you pack accordingly.<\/li>\n
  4. Understand tide charts. <\/strong>Get to know what the water levels are doing to help you plan route for padding with the current and avoiding strong currents, especially on coastal trips.<\/li>\n
  5. Think compact. <\/strong>Space is limited in a kayak, so choose camping gear that is lightweight and can pack down small.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Kayaking Checklist: The 5 Big Essentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Kayak<\/strong> and<\/strong> Paddle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    You can\u2019t go kayaking without a kayak! This foldable kayak<\/a><\/strong>, which makes it really easy to carry it around (say goodbye to roof racks). It\u2019s super lightweight at 28 lbs, less than half the weight of a traditional kayak. This means you can hike to some cool alpine lakes with this kayak on your back.<\/p>\n

    You\u2019ll also need a kayak paddle<\/a>, this one breaks down into four pieces, so it stows easily inside the box while disassembled.\u00a0If you\u2019re going on a longer trip, you may consider bringing a spare paddle.<\/p>\n

    Water Resistant Backpack<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The key to packing for a kayak trip is to try and pack as lightweight as possible. A smaller backpack will ensure you don\u2019t have as much space to stuff gear into. <\/p>\n

    I love this Patagonia 32L backpack<\/a><\/strong>. I have the older version of it and I take it everywhere. The best thing about this pack is it\u2019s heavily water resistant so you don\u2019t need to carry a rain cover with you. It\u2019s also just super durable, which means it\u2019s going to last you a long time.<\/p>\n

    Camping Tent<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Tents can take up a lot of space and weight. I\u2019ve always used the NEMO Hornet 2, but it\u2019s no longer available. This NEMO tent<\/a><\/strong> is a similar option for an ultralight 2-person tent that will keep you dry on your kayak trip.<\/p>\n

    It also comes with a dual-stage stuff sack which allows you to split the weight of the tent and tent poles with your partner, making it much easier to stow away in your kayak.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t forget your tent repair kit!<\/p>\n

    Sleeping Pad<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    I\u2019ve been using this women\u2019s sleeping pad<\/a><\/strong> for many years now and it\u2019s still in excellent condition. This sleeping pad is super lightweight and the regular size only weighs 15.8 ounces.<\/p>\n

    One of my favorite things about this sleeping pad is that it\u2019s super easy to blow up and pack away. It also has Extra Thermolite\u00ae insulation which will keep you nice and warm.<\/p>\n

    Sleeping Bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The next essential that you need on your kayaking checklist is a sleeping bag. The NEMO\u00a0Forte 20 Sleeping Bag<\/strong> <\/a>is a 3-season sleeping bag made with 80% post-consumer recycled content. NEMO also offers a lifetime warranty<\/strong> on this sleeping bag!<\/p>\n

    Personal Flotation Device<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Whether you\u2019re planning to use recreational kayaks on a lake or take up whitewater kayaking, the Kokatat\u00a0Hustle PFD<\/a><\/strong> will keep you safe on the water. This personal flotation device has a great fit and will stay out of the way when you\u2019re paddling. It also has just enough pockets to stash your keys or snacks.<\/p>\n

    Bilge Pump<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    A bilge pump makes it easy to remove unwanted water from your kayak. This bilge pump<\/a><\/strong> will pump out 8 gallons per minute and has a full-length foam float so it won\u2019t sink if you accidentally drop it in the water.<\/p>\n

    First Aid Kit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    A first aid kit is part of The Ten Essentials<\/strong> and you\u2019ll definitely want one on your overnight kayak trip. The Adventure Medical Kits\u00a0Ultralight\/Watertight .7 Medical Kit<\/a><\/strong> will give you some peace of mind while out on the water.<\/p>\n

    GPS & Satellite Phone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    When you\u2019re planning a multi-day trip, a GPS will help you locate yourself and find your way back. The Garmin\u00a0inReach Mini 2<\/a><\/strong> is a 2-way satellite communicator and lets you text, share your location, or call for help, even in areas without cell phone reception.<\/p>\n

    Keep in mind that you will need a subscription plan to send and receive satellite messages on this device. If you plan on traveling, double-check if the area you are visiting prohibits the use of satellite communication devices.<\/p>\n

    Headlamp<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    I love using a head torch around camp so I can free up my hands to cook or read. I\u2019ve been using a Black Diamond\u00a0Storm headlamp<\/a><\/strong> for a few years now. It\u2019s really bright and has easy to change settings including full strength in proximity, distance, dimming, strobe, and color modes.<\/p>\n

    Depending on your kayak trip, you may want to bring a waterproof flashlight<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Bear Spray<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    I live in Alaska so I always carry bear spray. The Counter Assault Bear Deterrent Spray <\/a><\/strong>deploys a high-volume, atomized blast of concentrated spray to deter a bear attack. It sprays up to 32 feet and will completely empty in 7 seconds.<\/p>\n

    Kayak Cooking Gear<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Cooking Stove and Fuel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    I can\u2019t tell you how much I love my Jetboil\u00a0Flash Cooking System<\/a><\/strong>. This camp stove boils 16 fl. oz. of water in 100 seconds! It\u2019s insane how fast it is. It\u2019s a great item to bring if you only want to pack freeze-dried meals or need some hot water for your morning coffee.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s easy to carry as everything fits inside of the cup including the stove and your 100g fuel canister. I would keep some matches or a lighter with you just in case the igniter doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

    BearVault Food Container<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    When you\u2019re kayaking in bear country, you want to make sure you don\u2019t keep any food or strong smelling items inside of your tent to lessen the chance of bear vs. human conflict.<\/p>\n

    The BearVault\u00a0BV450 Food Container<\/a><\/strong> will secure four days of food for the solo backpacker or a weekend\u2019s worth of meals for two. Store it at least 100 yards downwind of your campsite.<\/p>\n

    Water Reservoir<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Most backpacks have a slot for a water reservoir. It\u2019s convenient to have one if you have to portage your kayak. I use this 3 Liter CamelBak reservoir<\/strong><\/a>, which came with my CamelBak.<\/p>\n

    PRO TIP:<\/strong> You can get rid of access air in your water reservoir by turning it upside down, and squeeze out the air while holding the mouth valve open. <\/p>\n

    Reusable Water Bottle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Even if I\u2019m carrying my water bladder, I always carry a 32 oz Nalgene\u00a0Water Bottle <\/a><\/strong>with me. I like to do this because it\u2019s a lot nicer to drink from a lid rather than a hose.<\/p>\n

    Having a water filter will allow you to get water from nearby streams or lakes, and will allow you to carry less water on your back. The Platypus\u00a0GravityWorks Water Filter System<\/a><\/strong> will filter <\/strong>4 liters of potable water in just 2.5 minutes!<\/p>\n

    A camp mug is a must for any adventure. The mug I usually take camping is no longer available, but I like the look of this steel collapsable mug<\/a><\/strong>. It holds 475 ml and is designed so you can comfortably hold hot or cold beverages!<\/p>\n

    I used to get food all over my hands while I was eating from freeze-dried meals. Then I got this camp spork<\/a><\/strong> and it\u2019s amazing how much the extra length helps to avoid that mess.<\/p>\n

    You can also get it as a 2-piece cutlery set<\/a><\/strong>, which comes with a matching knife, so you can cut things like bagels or avocado. Both of these are made out of aluminum and super light to carry.<\/p>\n

    Sun is reflective on the water, which is even more reason to keep your skin protected. I always protect my face with CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30<\/a><\/strong>. I love this stuff and its part of my normal skin care routine. <\/p>\n

    Chapstick<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    My lips always get chapped while I\u2019m out adventuring so I like to carry Burt\u2019s Bees Moisturizing Lip Balm<\/a><\/strong>. This lip balm is made with Beeswax, Vitamin E and a hint of peppermint oil.<\/p>\n

    Pee Cloth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The Kula Cloth<\/a><\/strong> is a reusable antimicrobial pee cloth. You can clip it to the outside of your backpack for easy access when you need to pee. The best part of having a pee cloth is that you don\u2019t have to carry as much toilet paper with you, making it a positive impact on the environment.<\/p>\n
