Essential Items To Carry During Nashville Canoe Trips

By Angela Green


Spending time with your family as well as friends is necessary. There are so many ways you can spend time with your loved ones. For instance, you can stay indoors and enjoy a movie together, or you can decide to go outdoors. So many activities are waiting for you to enjoy. Also, you do not have to do the same thing you did last weekend or last vacation. It is always good to find new activities like canoeing. This is one of the best outdoor activities you can enjoy with your loved ones. However, you should carry the following items when going to Nashville Canoe Trips.

The first item is a pair of gloves. These are crucial even if most people overlook them. If it is your first time to paddle, you should have gloves with you. This is because the force of the water may make the paddle to be resistant. Hence, you will need to use force to paddle. Without gloves, you may develop very painful blisters.

The second item that is also overlooked is a flashlight. Most people do not imagine that having a torch is necessary. If you plan to stay for the night or week, you need a source of light. Most paddlers pitch their tents near the river bank. Thus, the only source of light is a torch, and the fire that you will build. Hence, ensure that you carry more than one torch during the tour.

Also, when the weather is hot, people crave for cold drinks. Thus, you should find a cooer that can fit in the boat. Also, the cooler should accommodate all the drinks you want to carry. Additionally, most people like taking a bottle of cold beer while paddling to make the adventure more enjoyable. Hence, a cool box is also essential.

The next thing to carry is sunglasses that have been polarized. This is because you need to see clearly when paddling. The sunray and the reflection of the water may blind you. This may make it difficult for you to see clearly. Hence, you will not enjoy the experience as you will miss some sites. Also, you may not paddle well because of the rays. This may cause some accidents in the water.

More so, you will have your camera, watch and phones with you. If you do not keep them dry, they will get damaged by the water. Therefore, it is wise to buy a quality dry box that is resistant to water to store the items. Additionally, look for quality dry bags as well to store your food and clothing.

Also, if you will sleep at the site, make sure you buy a tent that can fit in your backpack. The shelter should be lightweight as well and made using synthetic material. Having a tent is essential because you need a safe and dry place to sleep at night.

More so, you should always think about your safety first. Hence, buy a life jacket that will fit you well. You may never see accidents coming. Therefore, always have a life jacket on while paddling. Also, your boat may flood during storms. Thus, carry a sponge or bilge pump as well.
