| You’ve done it. You’ve decided to take your paddling to the next level with an overnight canoe trip. You’ve read Basic Basics and you’re excited to get planning. But where do you start? The irony of canoe tripping is that whatever length of your trip you plan, you pretty much have to put in the same amount of prep work. Sure, we all dream of the perfect trip, with gorgeous weather and relaxing days. Yet even on a weekend outing you need to be prepared for reality. Remembering all the details can make the difference between falling into a miserable heap, jacketless, in a pile of muskeg in the pouring rain, or finishing the same portage in the same weather with a dry raincoat, a smile and the feeling that you’re on top of the world.
