-Tips
to
prepare
for a
cabin,
float
or camp
trip-
"Do Not Over Pack"
1. Keep in mind that any clothes or sleeping bag that you bring that contains feathers or cotton may get wet on their own due to the humidity. They will stay wet the whole week. I recommend any manufactured poly, fleece, or silk clothing and sleeping bag you can find. It is not necessary to spend big dollars on Patagonia etc. Just think polyester or fleece. Wool is O.K. but tends to reek odors before the week is over.
2.
Do
Not
Over
Pack- Do Not Over Pack
Anything
that
can be
shared
should
be
shared.
If
everyone
on a
trip
brought
everything
on the
list, you
will be
over
weight! It
has
been my
experience
that
the
more
stuff
that
you
bring
just
gets in
the way
when
you are
trying
to find
the
essentials.
3.
Each airline passenger is allowed 2 checked bags 50lb or less and 1 for carry on.
4.
All of your clothes
should
fit
into a
sleeping bag-sized compression sack.
If
they
don’t
fit,
you
have too
much! Do not Over Pack.
5. Avoid bringing any hard sided luggage, as it is too bulky to pack in the tail of your floatplane. Tape all of your fishing poles and or holders together so they will count as one piece of checked luggage. If you have less than 2 checked bags per person, you may want to put 2 or 3 of your compression bags into a duffle type soft bag and check it as one. Heavy cardboard boxes taped well in all directions make great luggage for food stuffs and beer. You can leave them behind at the end of your visit.
