I remember you fixing your skirt on Manns our first time down. (Which, if you'll recall, was nearly a decade ago.) <BR/>-Zip ties are a good idea! Light, small, and cheap too. <BR/>-I've got ibuprofen in my nalgene, but that doesn't put much of a dent in a shoulder that's out. <BR/>-I've been packing a drybag with goodies in the winter, including some extra neoprene gloves.JBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08843490089360941845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36307264.post-69901286517584428672009-03-14T11:40:00.000-05:002009-03-14T11:40:00.000-05:00Ouch!Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12482266908675918048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36307264.post-38321308213511049682009-03-14T11:34:00.000-05:002009-03-14T11:34:00.000-05:00Nice blog JB. In addition to the things you already mentioned, some paddlers may find the following items helpful:<BR/><BR/>-iodine tablets for water purification<BR/><BR/>-plastic zip-ties for general repairs such as a broken back band<BR/><BR/>-a sewing needle and thread for a ripped sprayskirt or drytop (although a few safety pins could certainly do the trick in those scenarios and could be used for other applications as well)<BR/><BR/>-pain medication for those pesky shoulder dislocations and other injuries<BR/><BR/>-extra pogies in winter. I once lost my paddle, and the pogies that were attached to it, on a cold winter day. While I had a spare paddle and was able to finish the run, my hands lost all feeling within about ten minutes. I definitely could not have contributed to any emergency situation as my hands were basically useless for anything except maintaining a lose hold on my take apart paddle. If you wear gloves, this does not apply to you. Or if you simply break your paddle, then you can just take the pogies off of your broken paddle. Also, for very short or roadside runs, it may not make much of a difference. But for long or remote runs, an extra pair of pogies could be a lifesaver. Also, I've found that you'll eventually have a friend forget to bring a pair, and you can lend them your extra pair of pogies for the day.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work,<BR/>StewStewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12482266908675918048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36307264.post-59534703038809904742009-02-10T13:48:00.000-05:002009-02-10T13:48:00.000-05:00I am learning the interwebs as I go.
