Don’t even think of not taking an extra paddle, especially on an extended trip. Always prepare for a worst-case scenario when planning a trip and you’ll have many pleasurable canoe outings.

I usually carry two different types of paddles — one is a straight shaft wooden “beater” paddle that I use for very shallow water and technical whitewater and a lighter, bent-shaft carbon one for use during most of the trip. I prefer bent-shaft because it is a lot are more efficient. I have been using a bent-shaft for many years and am more comfortable with it than a staight shaft. This, however, is a personal more of a personal preference.

Thank you for all those who tried my all natural repellent. After many reformulations (and suggestions by the test trials) the repellent is now in production. It has been thoroughly tested in wilderness areas throughout the US and Canada, and even in South Africa. An overwhelming majority of the trials show that the product works very well. I want to respect this forum so I will not mention the product by name (at least until I get some more sales so that I can advertise on canoeing.com). You may send me an email and I can get you the information. See the original post for email info.
Happy paddling!
