Keeping track of all that stuff
Problem: How do you keep track of all your gear, from packing it at home until you finally get to the river. Who wants to leave their life jacket at home, or for that matter, at the take out?
Answer: Big gear bags. Stuff everything you need into the bag at home. Stuff your wet gear back into the bag at the take out. This bag must have mesh pannels, so the wet gear can dry. The Great Escape Works makes two, a big one for long trips and another smaller one for short trips.
