Does anyone here have any advice, tips, tricks, etc for doing a multi day canoe/kayak trip. I would be looking at doing a couple of day trips first just to get myself and my kid aclimated to to paddling together as well as see how we will pack the boat and operate as a team.
I have some fond memories of my father and I doing some canoeing trips... they were all day trips, but it was a good time with my dad and I want to share that with my kids as they grow.
Now for some of the technicals...
I consider myself to be a novice, it has been 15-20 years since I last stepped foot in a canoe
My kid is 13, never been canoeing as far as I know.
I NEED to get a canoe before I can even put the trip into motion
With a few expecptions, I think I have everything I need for camping over night from my last camping trip.
A dehydrator is on the list of things to buy for this and future trips.
Besides my son and I, there may be an aditional 2 people on the trip, both at the same skill level as my son and I
The trip will be a simple river run down the Hudson River... I would like to get as far north as I can.
