Hello, I'm Edward, this is my paddling info site.
The following items are important to bring when you go canoeing.
| FIRST AID | With a first aid kit in your pack you can feel a little bit safer maybe. | |
| MULTI PURPOSE TOOL | Some paddlers like Leatherman tools, some like Swiss army knives, but everybody's got one, how' bout you? | |
| STEEL WIRE | Steel wire is an excellent substitute for screws, bolts, or any other type of fastener. | |
| TARP | Bring a tarp even if you're just going on a day trip, in case you get stuck you can easily make a shelter to shield yourself from the elements. | |
| MOSQUITO COILS | Mosquitoes are the one thing that suck with the outdoors, bring something they don't like such as mosquito coils. | |
| STOVE | Anybody who has a
Trailstove will agree with me when I say it's the best camp stove by far. It's lighter than any other stove and it burns wood instead of compressed gas. You don't have to carry fuel with you. It's safer to, no flammable and poisonous substances to worry about, just pieces of harmless wood. |
Kill animals with a deadfall trap.
This is the most simple type of trap you can make but it's very deadly, it will kill or cripple an animal easily. Don't do this unless it's a life and death situation.
Find a heavy log that can be lifted up on one side.
Put a round rock on the ground under one edge of the log.
Find a good strong stick that can support the log.
Find a smaller stick to hold the bait.
Put one edge of the bait stick on the round rock, lift the log up and support it with the strong stick. The bait stick should be wedged between the strong stick and the round rock and with the other end suspended in the air under the log.
Carefully put the bait on the bait stick and walk away.
