Yes -- for whitewater trips, surely, but this was just across a lake. I have a smaller bag with my sun screen, camera, etc that I keep at my feet! Great questions and thanks for watching! :)
The only problem I see is putting the canoe that far in the water when first starting outside when you're loading on a river. 99.9% of my canoe trips are on rivers not lakes. So for me, it's load some things, push a little in the water, load a little more and so on.
An "overnight" trip requires more than 100lbs of "stuff!" I've done a week on the Allagash with less than 70. The first thing you need to do is watch George Carlin’s marvelous skit on "stuff."
Right out of the gate, "work smarter.not harder". Subscribed.
Haha so true! :)
My friend just lent me one of these new dry bags for a paddling trip - what a dream
Must be an awesome friend... ;)
So informative!
Yay -- so glad ya found it helpful! :)
Do you tie things to the canoe in case of accidents? Would you have a separate bag with handy stuff like a map and sun cream close to hand?

Haha great point! It's always funny loading kayaks as the tide is going out too... :)
