Kayak Camping
Gear List:

Below is a list of Kayak Camping Gear to be considered when going on a trip. You don't need everything on the list and you may want to add some items. Some items are listed twice because they are under different headings. If you already have it you don't need it twice. I pack almost everything in a dry bag. If you want to be really careful to keep items dry use a trash compactor bag inside of each dry bag. That way the water has to make it through two bags instead on one. This list is meant to be a starting point for developing your own list.
If there is an items that you think should be included on this list or if you would like to submit a review on a piece of kayak camping gear please contact me. Your submissions are welcome.
