Intro Tandem Moving Water Instructor Course

YOU SUPPLY:

1. Clothing

a) 2 changes of clothes. This should include 2 light T-shirts.

b) a sweater for cool days and nights. A light jacket that can be worn as a wind breaker.

c)  a hat with a good sun shield and a pair of sunglasses.

d) several pairs of wool socks and a pair or two of light socks.

e) 2 pairs of sneakers - one for wearing while canoeing (they'll get wet) and one for keeping dry to wear in camp. Another option is a pair of wet suit booties.

f) a pair of light gloves for cool, windy weather (optional).

g)  a bathing suit and a pair of shorts for hot weather.

h) knee pads for kneeling in the canoe are a good idea.

2. Sleeping bag. I recommend 1.5 pounds of down or equivalent. An insulite pad or something similar for underneath is good for warmth and comfort. Thermorests and sleeping bags can be rented from Horizons Unlimited.

3. Rain gear. A good quality but lightweight raincoat of some sort is very important.

4. Personal necessities: face cloth, toothbrush and paste, comb, insect  repellent, etc.

7. Optional:

a) Camera. Well waterproofed.

b) Fishing tackle and a fishing license.
