Get a big, strong buddy with a larger boat and you can let him tote all your stuff around...

You will always be my favorite pack mule:)

Great thread guys, I'm definitely going to start doing overnight camping trips in the kayak. After I finish my damn kayak trailer.

I am very unimpressed with Backpacker's Pantry and would not recommend it. I carry salt, pepper, Cavender's Greek Seasoning and Cholula sauce. I have been impressed with Mountain House in which the worse were fixable with those seasoning and the best needed no addition. I noticed in Walmart the other day that Coleman is entering the freeze dried market. I have not tried them yet and would not mind hearing reports on them.

Well due to PK ending water release plans have changed to yak below Granbury from hwy 67 to Brazos Point.....According to a BRA Lake Ranger Granbury will continue to release 400 CFS into the first part of October so were gonna try for the weekend of September 30.......

If we do not get some rain bring a kayak dolly!

I was down there last october for two nights and one of them was 45 degrees. Bring a decent bag and a light blanket to cover all possibilities. I use a cheap 2 person 7X7 tent from BPS I nabbed on sale for 30.00, but I spent 10 times that on a wiggy's bag and exped mat. Sleep well and the day of paddling will be easier.

I did the trip on my oc drifter and it was not too bad. I carried water and a mix of dried and canned food. I run on the heavy side and I did not drag too much.

I loaded the boat using trash bags in the hull and a few dry bags on top. Don't forget a chair! After a long day the last thing you want to do is sit on a log or rock around the fire.

You got that right! chair is a must!

Agreed. That is really good advice.

look for the camp stowaway chair at REI. Very light and small coupon, and very comfortable to sit in. I rate that as a must up there with the backpacker cot or sleepimng pad. You have to relax the body after a days of paddling and portaging....
