River Trip Checklist
This list is just a guide - you may take more or less. The most important part of this list is the 3rd column, the stuff you should take in your boat for emergencies on every river. Many of the rivers RCC go into remote areas in very cold weather, and I believe it is not a case of “if I get stuck on a river overnight”, but rather, “when I get stuck on a river overnight”……if you have doubts about this ask Chris about his night on Leatherbarrel Creek or Lynn about her night with the Cheese Guy!
