Main paddling gear:
* Kokatat Gore-Tex Meridian Dry Suit (GMER)
* Smartwool Men's NTS Mid 250 Long top and bottom (2 sets)
* Smartwool Hiking Medium Crew socks (3 sets)
* Heavy weight fleece bunny suit (a real heavy weight one, not a power-stretch or anything too techy because the point is to have loft and thickness)
* Silicone swim cap (largest size possible, and one that covers ears can be folded up above ears, but nice to have the option).
* Latex kitchen gloves or chemical gloves (best base layer for hands that keeps wind and sun off of skin, which tends to dry out and crack on a trip like this).
* Neoprene Pogies.

* Astral Brewer shoes.
* NRS Wingman knife

campsite clothing that I changed into a.s.a.p. to let boating gear dry:
* 700 fill down jacket.
* Waterproof hiking sneakers.
* Winter hat & gloves
(the mistake I made on this trip is that my hat did not cover the bottom of my ear lobes. Because of this, I had a little bit of cold/sun damage on my ears)

campsite shelter and insulation:
*Big Agnes Jack Rabbit 2 person tent
*Mountain Hardware Lamina 0 degree sleeping bag
