NAMEKAGON RIVER CANOE TRIP Gear List & Itinerary (Please print this out and save) How To Pack Extra sets of clothes should be packed in ziploc plastic baggies. We have found that rolling each item as tightly as possible before putting it in a baggie saves space. Use ziploc baggies for anything else that you need to keep dry. We have found that a small 35mm camera fits in a ziploc baggie quite nicely! Consider this for other items such as binoculars. (Last year we saw eagles!!) Try to compact all your grar into a pack or pack frame. You must be able to carry all your gear on your back. Portages There will be a portage at Trego Dam, but it will be a small one...downhill, across a lawn, about 50-75 yards.
