Checklist
WHAT TO BRING
Fishing
Rods
Reels
Tackle Box
Net (1 per boat)
Depth Finder (1 per boat)
Minnow Bucket (1 per boat)
Worm Container (optional, Dinty Moore Beef Stew Cans work nice)
Stringer (Sometimes nice to have two per boat)
Needle Nosed Pliers, Clippers, Knife (Tether for your pliers, you know who you are)
Clothes
Couple pair of pants
Few pair of shorts
Underwear (one of the most frequently forgotten Items)
Socks (another frequently forgotten item)
A couple of towels
Two pair of shoes
Flip Flops or slippers for the Cabin
Fitted sheet for mattress (optional, and by optional, I mean Trent is the only person who does this)
Hat (At least one that has the ability to cover your ears)
Rain Suit (This is not optional and make it the last thing you put in your duffle bag)
Miscellaneous
Sunblock (In 2009 we were 10 feet from the sun for about 4 days)
Bug Spray (It better have deet or you are wasting your money)
Fillet Knife
Sunglasses (May want to consider an extra pair as well)
Clear safety glasses (great for the driver of the boat in the evenings, keeps the bugs out of your eyes)
Stick a golf or small towel in your tackle box.
Krazy glue – Great for patching up small cuts
Flashlight and batteries – The walk from one cabin to the other gets a lot longer in the dark.
Camera – Disposable or Digital – If digital, don’t forget the batteries
Any tobacco products you might use – Sweet lord, you don’t want to buy it up there.
Tips:
Line your duffel bag with a big trash bag before you put your clothes in it (It will rain on the way up or down the river) and put an extra one in there for on the way back if need be.
Wash your hands before taking your contacts out. (I found this out the hard way, not only does in burn like heck but bug spray is impossible to get off your contacts)
Bring some type of waterproof bag to keep your raingear in the boat (Also handy when you start peeling off layers)

The Camp Director has lost a step since his retirment. We have our biggest group in 10 years and he go's AWOL!! We have many details to work out. We still don't know who's driving. Is it time for Texas Bob to ride off into the sunset? This may be the year Trent becomes Camp Director.
ReplyDeleteFinally someone is starting to make some sense around here. I believe Dad has earned a break from the reponsibility of making sure everything goes as planned in Canada. He would probaby be happier sleeping in till 10:00, sitting in the cabin- not fishing at all. I will give Dad a couple more weeks to start showing some interest in this trip before I make a serious run at camp director..I am going to go start writing my acceptance speech.
ReplyDeleteI expect to make an appearance in the speech as the one who made it all possible. I have been your biggest admirer since this blog started. Fishfinder may run as the representative of the Geritol Party but I don't think he could get the votes. Geez, we may need to have some sort of convention before we can even organize this trip. We may not even go this year. I just don't see everything getting done in time.
ReplyDeleteYou boys are a little tough on retired guys and the "Geritol Party" comment really hits below the belt. Retirement is all that it's cracked up to be!
